Congratulatiosn Trista and Brady!

Trista and Brady were married at Emmanuel Lutheran on New Years Day 2010, and it was quite the celebration! Guests warmed up with hot cider and hot chocolate upon arriving at the reception, garnishing their drinks with anything from cinnamon sticks to crushed peppermint candies! After having dinner with their 320 guests, the Bride and Groom danced the night away to live music from the band, Past Due. The Ballroom looked beautiful and elegant, with black tablecloths and black napkins. Dessert was also unique in that each person received their own little bundt cake preset at their place. It was an amazing reception for an amazing couple and we wish them nothing but happiness! Congratulations Trista and Brady!

Congratulations Lauren and Robert!

Lauren and Robert were married at the hotel on New Years Eve in a beautifully decorated white and light pink ballroom. They and their guests started the evening with a beautiful ceremony written by Lauren and Robert and finished the night with a balloon drop at midnight. After their exchange of vows everyone munched on a taco bar and finished with a cupcake which were all topped with a "V" and towered on our white cupcake stands. After dinner they danced the night away to By Request DJ with the countdown happening at midnight. We wish Lauren and Robert the best in their future together! Below are some comments that Lauren sent over, thanks Lauren!

Subject: Thank you!

Jess,

I just wanted to thank you and the whole Radisson team for making it such a wonderful day. Anna, who was there the night before, was such a great help while we were decorating!! Our rehearsal breakfast that morning was so delicious - it was a great way to start out wedding day! It worked out so well to have our wedding ceremony and reception all in one place. Our guests had such a fabulous time and loved the food and atmoosphere the Radisson provided! We had many complements on the rooms also. Thanks again for making out wedding day so special and memorable! It really was more than we could have asked for!

Love,

Lauren and Robert

Congratulations Kristi and Tom!!

Kristi and Tom shared a beautiful winter wedding with us on December 18th. They were married at the north campus of Hope Lutheran then joined us for a gorgeous apple red and silver reception! The centerpieces, cylinders full of Christmas balls, sparkled as the 4 tea light candles surrounding them flickered. After dinner and cake, provided by Cashwise Bakery, they danced the night away to Poweplay DJ. We wish Kristi and Tom the best in their future together! Below are some pictures from their evening and a nice e-mail Kristi sent over...

Hey Jess!

Thank you so much for everything you did to prepare for our reception! I know what a pain setting all of it up is! We had a wonderful time, no complaints and everyone loved the food. Our room was set up so cute and we enjoyed our time at the hotel. Maybe too much drinking happened, ha, but that's on Tom's part! :)

Happy Holidays!

Kristi

Annie and Tom were married in Wild Rice on Saturday, November 7th and after the ceremony they and their 294 guests joined us for a BEAUTIFUL red, black and white reception in our Cityscape Ballroom. Karen from K's provided the couple with a "yummy" centerpiece as they had an individual cake setting at each table along with tea light candles surrounding the cakes. Everything from their party favors to their personalized m & m's added their own touch to the space. Poweplay DJ moved their feet all night by playing great music! Below are some pictures of the ballroom along with some comments from Annie! We wish you the very best Annie and Tom!

Hi Jess,
The wedding did turn out really well! Everything I've heard from guests is positive, and we only had minor glitches so it was a good day!
The hall looked amazing, and our servers were really friendly. The sirloin was good, and I heard the chicken was good also.
Thank you so much for all of your help! I felt better knowing you were at the reception! :) You are awesome at what you do, and you took a lot of stress out of planning! It was perfect!
Thank you again!
Annie
