Congratulations Olya and Ben!

On Saturday, August 22nd Olya and Ben were married at the BEAUTIFUL First Lutheran Church Downtown. They finished their eventing with a GORGEOUS reception with us in our Cityscape Ballroom where Dude Walker had them dancing the night away! Their eggplant napkins complimented their centerpieces of sheer leaves tied around a cylinder with eggplant ribbon. Two Birch trees wrapped in white lights and tuel sat on each side of the dance floor and Birch sticks with iris' made for beautiful compliments to the Atrium. Russia's national tree is the Birch tree and Olya's from Russia so it tied in her home land nicely... not to mention birch trees are absolutely stunning! We wish Olya and Ben the best in their future together, congratulations guys!

Experience 2009!

NACE (National Association of Catering Executives) Experience 2009 was held in Charlotte, North Carolina this year and was another GREAT year of trend setting ideas and great people! We saw Rocco DiSpirito in our first general session along with celebrity chef Marvin Woods and interior designer Stephanie Bradshaw over the four day event and closed with key note speaker Janine Driver. We learned the catering industries new trends, all about catering to food allergies, what today's bride wants and different business style techniques! Below are some snapshots from our travels....

Congratulations Nicole and Matt!

Nicole and Matt were married on July 18th at gorgeous Bethal in South Fargo! Their colors were royal blue and silver and were tied in nicely with the blue delphinium in their centerpieces and royal blue napkins at each guest setting. They started their night with a table array of hors d'Oeuvres then went into their three choice meal and finished it off with 42 inches of cascading chocolate to dip their pretzels, strawberries and cheesecake into! Nicole and Matt like to have fun, not to mention they each have a GREAT sense of humor, so instead of the glass tinging to kiss their guests had to sing a song with the word love in it! Below is the nice poem that sat at each setting so the guests new that's what they had to do to get their special kiss! I've seen this done many times before but no one ever sings right away... it didn't take long for their guests to catch on though, they were singing before they were served salads! We wish Nicole and Matt the best in their future and below are some pictures of the beautiful Ballroom all dressed up!

Congratulations Tara and Kyle!

Tara and Kyle were married on July 10th with a small ceremony at Leonard Lutheran in Leonard North Dakota. They and their guests joined us for a beautiful reception in our Cityscape Ballroom with three different styles of fresh floral on the tables which included hydrangeas, orchids and another arrangement full of summer flowers including peonies and daisy's. Marie Honn made an elegant cake which was accented by the most stunning orchids and Tara brought in a uniquely printed table runner for the head table to tie her colors together. We wish Tara and Kyle the best in their future together! Below are some pictures of their GORGEOUS night!

Congratulations Molly and Joey!

Molly and Joey were married Saturday July 11th at Holly Spirit in Fargo and joined us for a beautiful watermelon pink and chocolate brown (yummy colors!!) reception in our Cityscape ballroom! Their centerpieces were huge rose heads floating in water alternating between pink and white. Their cake was accented with the same color roses and all 320 of their guests danced the night away (some with brooms... you guys are so silly!) to TC DJ. Molly and Joey are a truly happy (not to mention gorgeous) couple. When they arrived Molly looked radiant in her dress and Joey... I didn't even recognize without his hat! We wish you two the best in your future!
