Kayla and John...

The life loving Kayla and John were married on October 21st before they and their 230 guests joined us for a very social reception.  They had no head table, instead cocktail tables lined the windows in place of it.  Each table was complete with a beautiful centerpiece put together by Sarah Gefroh Brandenburg.  Their cake was lined with pretzel rods that resembled sticks and the guests were welcomed by a scrapbook and a book the couple put together on Shutter fly, with all of their US and world travels.  Their wishing tree was FULL of well wishes from their guests by the end of the night.  If we would have filled one out, it would have read "cheers to the next happy 65+ years you two have together!" Congratulations guys!  Below are some snap shots and some comments from Kayla.

Hi Jess,

Thanks for reaching out... everything was absolutely fantastic!  I didn't have time to eat much, but I heard wonderful things about the food from the guests.  Of course, the baked brie was a huge hit!  Jerry was great and I was extremely happy with all of the service, although it was no surprise to me!  The whole day, including the reception was absolutely perfect and you and the Radisson were a big part of that!  THANK YOU!

It was a complete pleasure working with you Jess!  Should I ever need to host a large event again I will certainly look to the Radisson!

Thanks again,

Kayla

 

 

Becky and Nils...

This beautiful couple was married in August in Cobo then came and celebrated with friends and family in our ballroom on October 14th.  They brought back the "ocean" with them in their centerpieces.  They had a purple candle in sand with sea shells on each table.  The night started with playing their ceremony on the big screen before everyone enjoyed munching on appetizers and dancing the night away.  The photo booth was sure a hit with everyone too which was set up in the Atrium.  We wish you guys the best!

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Hiti!

Congratlutions Josephine & Michael!

This fun loving couple married October 15th, 2011.  The ballroom and atrium area were decorated in fall colors to fit the season along with gaming feathers, which resembled a hobby of both the bride and groom.  As the guests arrived here at the Radisson, appetizers and complimentary drinks welcomed them.  There was assigned seating for the guests, which each name tag stated their name and table number along with a colored flower which resembled the food option.  The slideshow played throughout the social hour and into the dinner for the guests to watch and enjoy all of the memories Jo and Mike created throughout the years.  The dinner was served to all the guests and during the dinner a game was played, and the only way the bride and groom could kiss was if someone stood up and sang a love song to them.  This was such a great touch to the evening which brought laughter and love to a room filled with close family and friends.   The cake was served and the toasts were made to begin an evening with dancing to MixVibes DJ Service.   We wish this couple the best in their future together as husband and wife!  Best Wishes!  

Janell and Todd...

This sweet couple was also married on the 16th of September and after their ceremony, they joined us in our Sky View center for an intimate reception.  Their guests grazed on appetizers for the evening while taking in the view from the highest event space in North Dakota, not to mention in the second tallest building!  With the unique layout of the Sky View center, Janell and Todd did a great job in getting creative with set up.  There was a social room, an appetizer room, a dancing room and a separate area for the bar.  The guests were mingling all night, moving from room to room.  Below are some pictures from their night.  Hope you guys had fun on your honeymoon!

Callie and Dusty...

Congratulations guys!  Callie and Dusty were married on the 16th of September in West Fargo. Their reception followed, which was a theme of purple.  Their centerpieces were a single stem submerged in our 26" tall vase, and a purple light in the bottom, which really defined the purple in the room.  After dinner their guests enjoyed a variety of mini cheese cakes which were displayed in a stand that Dusty made himself.  We wish this couple the best in their future together, hope you guys had fun on your honeymoon!  Below are some pictures from their night, along with some comments that Callie sent over.

Hey Jess!

EVERYTHING was perfect on your guys' end!!!  I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out.  I can't tell you how nice it was to just show up and have the rooms all done and ready.  What a stress relief!  And the centerpieces turned out even better than I imagined. 

Service was great... very prompt and professional.  The food was wonderful.  I had a lot of comments on how the food was.  I know the DJ played late because there was so many people on the dance floor - hope that wasn't a problem with the hotel!  I didn't even realize what time it was.

I didn't get a chance to talk to you very much, but thank you SO much for everything!  It went so smoothly and looked beautiful.

Callie

BAH 2011

Long version... Business After Hours 2011!  It was held at the FargoDome on October 13th and we were lucky enough to showcase some of our incredible specialty items.  Below are some snap shots of the evening, our booth and the food.  No matter who it was that passed by our booth that night, they had to stop and compliment us on both the food, and the presentation.  And YES... we do off site catering!  Anything from 5 people... or 507 people, like this event was!
