Amanda and Jon...

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

Miranda and Mark...

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vicki and Josh...

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.

Jacki and Jake...

This gorgeous couple was married on April 21st in Dwight, North Dakota. After the ceremony they and their guests arrived to a ballroom of white with pops of navy blue and shades of green. After the guests found their tables, which were marked with photo frames complete with pictures of Jacki and Jake growing up, they enjoyed visiting over a cocktail before the wedding party arrived. In addition to the thank you note from the newlyweds, each guest took their turn at the photo back drop. Both the guests and the couple, got to keep a photo! No detail was left unturned, even having pillows matching their colors that adorned the leather couches. Congratulation guys! We wish them the best in their many happy years together! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Congratulations Mr & Mrs McCaslin



Congratulations Chad & Jess!  This couple was married in Mexico in March and followed up with a Social Reception here at the Radisson on April 13th, 2012.  The reception was decorated with an array of colorful flowers which were arranged by Prairie Peddles of Fargo.  The couple chose to use lounge furniture to have a more relaxed sociable feel to the reception.  Lounge couches, chairs, cocktail tables were used to help fulfill the ballroom with lots of socializing and laughter.  A slide show was played throughout the evening of their beautiful wedding in Mexico.  After the guests enjoyed the array of Hors d' oeuvres and cupcakes they danced the night away to Mix Vibes DJ Service.  Best Wishes to Chad and Jess as they begin their journey together as husband and wife. 

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Paul

 Congratulations Wes & Alexis!

This outgoing couple got married on March 24th, 2012 at the Ecce Gallery in downtown Fargo. Following there ceremony they continued their evening at the Radisson. This couple had a decorator who did an amazing job at decorating the ballroom and atrium area, all different sizes of vases were used as well as silver chair covers (this was brought in by the decorator) which was the finishing touch to this elegant wedding reception. The atrium area was used for a lounging area for guests to relax and enjoy the evening. The evening started out with a "Grand March" of the wedding party and was followed by a toast from the bride and groom. Dinner was served while the slideshow played as they had many great pictures of friends and family to entertain them through the dinner. The party began when the groom & groomsmen all preformed a dance for the bride, such a cute twist to the evening. Following the special performance, the band "Pop Rocks" took the stage to continue the evening with many great tunes from the 80's, 90's and today! Best Wishes to Wes & Alexis as they begin their journey as husband and wife!
