Brittany and Tyler...

This super sweet and fun couple was married on June 1st. Their colors were something that I was a little hesitant on but, after seeing them together, they looked great! The colors were purple (Brittany's favorite) and orange (Tyler's favorite) and they complimented each other well. The finger print tree was full by the end of the night with guests names and little notes of congrats. They had alternating black and ivory table linen as well as napkins and chocolate party favors at each setting. Congratulations guys, you're a GREAT couple!

Hi Jess,

Thanks so much for helping make our special day absolutely amazing :) Everything at the Radisson turned out excellent!!! We received so many compliments on the food and service!!! Tyler and I couldn't have asked for a better day!!! Thank you Radisson banquet staff for being so accommodating and willing to help. We appreciated it more than you will ever know :)

Thanks again,

Brittany and Tyler Geffre

This super cute and well-traveled couple had their guests across the United States with their seating map. Each table was labeled a city, instead of a table number. The places on the map signified all of the travels the couple has done together and their favorite places. Each table was alternating black and white table linen with black and white chair covers. The teal napkins added a punch of color to the room. Each table was decorated in a classic theme of mason jars wrapped with burlap and doily ribbon, some tables dawned vases full of flowers, river rock and topped with a floating candle. Pink gerbera daisy's popped adding the accents of pink. The meal cards (which I hesitate to call cards because they were candles!) had each guests name hand written with a colored flower to correspond with their meal choice. A "bridal blush" and "the real diehl" were the signature drinks of the evening and a hit with wedding guests. We wish this couple many more years of happy travels together!

Hey Jess!

Thanks for the follow up, our wedding day was a wonderful (yet hectic) day! There were a couple of unexpected hiccups, but that's the name of the game I guess. :-) 

Everything was just terrific at the Radisson!!! I didn't get to try any of these (darn it!), but heard nothing but good things on the punch, appetizers, and cocktail hour bar. Our signature drinks were very tasty and I loved seeing everyone with pink and blue drinks. The staff was so helpful and accommodating; quick to answer questions or out wherever needed. The strawberry romaine salads received RAVE reviews from all, the stuffed chicken was very tasty as were the veggies and side items.

I can say, without a doubt, that everyone had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed themselves! I would love for you to post pics of how we had everything set up, and I can't wait to see the pics myself since I only saw the place when it was full of people. I cannot say enough good things about you, Jess! You have been such a pleasure to work with and will recommend the Radisson over and over again just because of you!

Thank you again, SO MUCH for everything!

Cassie

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Congratulations Corey & Sheila!

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Koenig!

This fun, adventurous couple was married on May 19th, 2012. Following the ceremony the reception began here at the Radisson with Appetizers and Drinks for their guests. After the bride and groom arrival there was a social in the atrium area which was decorated with cocktail tables, and lounge furniture, which was used for their guests to socialize around and enjoy themselves as they chatted with friends and family. The ballroom was decorated beautifully with three different style centerpieces and tea lights, along with chair covers to give the ballroom a very elegant look.  The guests were asked to collect their placement cards, which indicated what table they would be sitting at and on that placement card was a colored ribbon which indicated which meal they chose.  Each table had a table number with a picture of the couple(each table had a different picture) along with the table number and this was used for the guest seating arrangement.  DJ Dude Walker presented the bridal party in the ballroom with a "Grand March" to kick off the reception, following the grand entrance, the bride and groom made their way to the dance floor to do their “First Dance”. Dinner was served, and following dinner service, the guests were asked to go through the dessert buffet which had an array of wonderful desserts. Black Tie Photo Booth was set up to gather some great photos of their guests, which will be a great memory for the bride and groom. The dance began and everyone enjoyed themselves by dancing, gathering around the cocktail tables that were placed along side the dance floor along with the light up bar(many custom colors) that opened in the ballroom after dinner service, as well as lounge furniture that was placed off the dance floor to give this dance a unique touch! This reception fit this outgoing, stylish couple, and we wish this couple the best in their future as they begin their journey as husband and wife! Best Wishes!

This stunning couple was married on Cinco de Mayo, May 5th and their reception theme followed! They offered a full out taco bar complete with Al Pastor tacos (a first for me!) and Chicken Ranchero. Each table was named with either a Cinco de Mayo theme or a place that they have traveled to which, wow!... have they traveled! Their guests were greeted with a lime to find out where they were sitting in the ballroom and a glass of sangria, instead of your typical champagne, for the toasts. To top everything off, the couple - from Chicago, walked into the Chicago Bulls theme song with a spot light on them. The "crowd" roared in laughter! We wish this couple many more days of laughter in their years together, congratulations!

Jess,

Everything was PERFECT for our reception. We had many compliments on the food and sangria, and Jon and I loved it. We've heard that the social hour was wonderful as well. Also, Bardo (I'm sure you call him Justin) was a great bartender!! We thank you and all the Radisson staff SO MUCH for helping to make our big day BEAUTIFUL and AMAZING.

We would love to see the pictures, and of course you can post it to your blog. We would recommend the Radisson to anyone looking for a reception site!!!

Thank you again!!!

Jonathan & Amanda Hughley

This beautiful couple was married in Moorhead on May 4th before celebrating with us.  Their black and white reception had pops of red when the wedding party arrived with their red roses.  Each table was dawned with white roses and white orchids in the eiffel tower vases.  A damask pattern was accented on both the shorter vases, as well as their party favor boxes.  Cheers to many years Miranda and Mark

This awesome duo was married on April 28th in Fargo. The ballroom dawned pink and grey napkins and chair sashes. Designs by Donna made up 3 different centerpiece styles for the couple. Complete with floating candles, roses and carnations the pink popped in the room. One super cute thing they did was a (shoot, I can't remember the name!) but it's a box that has a bottle of wine and two glasses and the couple writes down something, either a memory or a favorite thing about the other person, and puts it in this box. If there is ever a fight in the future, they open the box and the bottle of wine and read through what the other person has written. Too cute! We wish this couple many years of happiness together! Below are some pictures from their night and some comments passed on by Vicki.
