Andrew Myers: The attention to detail that Ashley and her team put into our wedding day months and months and months before the actual day is nothing short of remarkable. What we admired most is that she certainly does not just tell you what you want to hear - she gives you the truth. But she doesn't just say no and move on - she is always bringing alternatives to ideas that can bring you as close to your absolute dream as possible. And that is because Ashley has already thought of every possible outcome of every possible scenario before she's even brought it to you. She helped us pick the perfect venue. She negotiated on our behalf countless times. She told us to do our ceremony outside even when the weather was suspect and we were a little nervous. And she was there for every single guest throughout the night if they needed her. Even weeks after the wedding, we had guests texting us and saying how incredible Ashley was throughout the day and how impressed they were with her call to do the ceremony outside - we are forever in debt to her for that. Ashley did what all planners should aspire to do - bring the vision to life and make the wedding appear as flawless as can be to the bride and the groom. Without Ashley's persistence, work-ethic and patience - I don't even want to think about how stressful the entire process could have been. We already miss her and would recommend her to any and all.

Sophie Myers: and she handled it ALL with such grace, so much so that I wasn't even aware that most of these things happened until after the wedding. She is also a gem of a human and we had some good laughs through the stress of the process and I will truly miss chatting every day! I would recommend Ashley to anyone whose budget allows. And can't wait to attend another friends wedding she's planning!

Taylor White: . I can’t imagine trying to plan our wedding on our own. So beyond thankful for Ashley for allowing us to enjoy being engaged and not have to stress anything, and also for making the planning process so fun!Not only was she extremely organized, but she is so creative and made the day so beautiful. She gave such great advice / ideas / vendor recommendations, and I’m so glad we listened to her advice because she made our wedding SO much more unique and personal than it would have been if we hadn’t.I also appreciated how Ashley is firm and persuasive and can easily negotiate with, manage, and advocate for us with vendors. She always had our best interests at heart and did everything she could to get the best for us from our vendors.Overall so thankful for Ashley and for everything she did for us!!

Kristina Monsen: We would recommend Ashley with Poppati Events to any and everyone! She is the best wedding planner that we could have asked for - she created the most beautiful and best wedding for US. She truly listened, had our best interest at the top of her mind, and executed perfectly. She made sure everything was taken care of down to every last detail, and our wedding planning and wedding day was a breeze because of her work.We had our wedding on a beach in Mexico - she started off with an extensive venue search and we felt like we landed on the best option. She made planning an international wedding feel stress-free.On top of her business - she is just a wonderful person ! So genuine and truly shines in any room.

Georgia Keller: Ashley was nothing short of AMAZING to work with. Due to COVID, we delayed our wedding a few times and Ashley was so flexible, helpful, knowledgeable, and encouraging throughout the process. We ended up completely changing our original plans and doing a small destination wedding in Vail, CO. Ashley created the most beautiful and memorable weekend for us in 3 MONTHS! She truly is so talented and creative and everyone attending the wedding was blown away by the details and heart poured into the day. She took the time to get to know my husband and me and incorporated special touches throughout the ceremony and reception. She was always available to text, call or email throughout the planning process and made it effortless for us. I strongly recommend hiring a wedding planner so you can enjoy your special day to the fullest extent. You will NOT be disappointed working with Ashley and her team - they are one of a kind! Thank you so much for creating us the most magical wedding weekend!

Lindsey Schwartz: , and Ashley found us the most perfect venue! I am not the planning or organizing type, and I was completely overwhelmed with everything that needed to be completed, so Ashley and Poppati took care of everything! The only thing I had booked at that time was a photographer, and they not only found all of our vendors, communicated with them, negotiated discounts, but they kept us in the loop as much or as little as we wanted. Aside from taking care of all the logistics, Ashley is so TALENTED and made our wedding the most unique day! It fit our personalities perfectly, and I have never had so many comments about how beautiful, fun, and unique our day was! Ashley and Poppati were literal life savers for our wedding day, and aside from that she is the sweetest person to work with. I felt like I was talking with a good friend the entire time, and absolutely loved getting to know her, her husband, and their adorable little pup Finley. If you are looking for a planner, look no further! Ashely and her team are by far the best, and I can't wait to use Poppati Events again the future!

Samantha Joy Hart: I cant praise Poppati events enough. Honestly they are a five start team. Being a 2020 Bride was one of the most challenging experiences. We had to change our date 2x and with all of the rules and restrictions Ashley and her team had to basically start from scratch several times. My wedding wouldn't have happened with out all of her help and expertise. She stayed up to date on all the rules and kept us informed and still pulled off the wedding of my dreams. My caterer dropped a month out from our wedding and Ashley was able to secure a new one at an even better rate for us with no issue. The day of our wedding it was so windy and there were challenges with the set up but I never knew because her team handled it and my day was amazing. If you are looking for a wedding or party planner Poppati is the best. Highly recommend!

john kirkwood: I have had the great pleasure of working with Ashley in a professional capacity over the past five years, planning and conducting countless corporate events from Annual Meetings to larger events related to the Super Bowl, Final Four and “South by Southwest” in Austin, TX. Ashely is a consummate professional with a caring and compassionate manner that makes everyone she works with and helping feel like the only one she is working with and helping.... She is highly organized, deeply detail oriented and handles change effortlessly. I would work with Ashley in any situation, no matter how big or small, knowing that her attention to detail is going to be the same regardless. I would highly recommend her for your wedding or any other important events in your life.

Kevin P. Smith: Ashley from Poppati is an absolute gem and a true catalyst to bring any event to the next level. As my go-to corporate event partner for several years, she has helped me plan and execute several customer events locally in Minneapolis, as well destination events in Nashville, Denver and Scottsdale. Ashley’s talents and creativity are most definitely the reason my events have transformed from basic user conferences into best-in-class customer learning experiences. With my events averaging at least 100+ people traveling from all parts of the United States and Canada, Ashley helps me find the perfect balance of selecting locations that are easy and cost effective to travel to, as well as provide a unique and memorable experience for my customers. With a robust destination planning portfolio, Ashley always comes to the table with a selection of best preferred hotels, catering options and excursion ideas that fit my event requirements, yet her creativity and thoughtfulness always far exceed my own event expectations. When it comes to the event itself, Ashley’s attention to detail leads to a flawless execution of hotel coordination, conference room set-up, agenda and all other onsite details that a host has little to no time to think about. Her careful consideration to the smallest of details – such as a hand-selected meal menu and snacks, table décor, attendee ice breaker activities – ensure my customers feel welcome, comfortable and set-up for a successful day of learning and networking. One of my favorite things about Ashley is her creativity in planning unique excursions that foster networking opportunities – a critical objective for my events. A few highlights from my events included “A Taste of Denver” – which included a tasting of some of Denver’s best restaurants, sampling beer and wine at a local brewery and live music from a local musician; “Desert Nights” with a breath-taking landscape of lounge furniture, campfires, a multi-course meal, cocktails and music in the middle of the desert; and a true Nashville music and food experience hosted at a historically relevant building for the industry my customers work in. Ashley’s commitment to my events and my customers is not just noticed by me and my team – her heart and spirit for the event are absolutely noticed by the attendees themselves. With numerous customers approaching me with comments like “Who is she and where did you find her? She is amazing!” – I know that Ashley has become a key player on my team. Ashley from Poppati delivers a truly exquisite and unforgettable event.

Janan J: As a local Twin Cities Pastry Chef, I worked with Poppati Events to create a unique cake design for a client. Ashley was a pleasure with which to work! She offered clear, detailed communication; was attentive to both the client and vendor's needs; she is creative and collaborative throughout the process....all of which produces a perfectly executed and spectacular event!!! I look forward to future events with Poppati Events Inc.!

Sarah Tribett: I could go on all day about how amazing Poppati Events is! Ashley is one of the sweetest people I have ever met and is hands down my favorite planner I have ever worked with! She’s the perfect combination of professionalism mixed with someone who you would want to be your best friend! We’ve worked together for multiple weddings/events and something that I’ve always noticed and admired about her is her attention to detail. She puts her heart and soul into the events she plans for her clients and is able to create designs that represent each couples unique style and relationship perfectly. She is so thoughtful to everyone around her and always makes sure that everything is running smoothly and that everyone is taken care of. If you are thinking about hiring Ashley for your event, I can promise you that your expectations will be exceeded and it will be the best decision you ever make! I met her through the wedding industry but now consider her a lifelong friend!

Shadi Taher: We can't recommend Ashley at Poppati Events enough! Initially, we thought we could get away with working exclusively with the wedding coordinator at the venue, but after a few meetings, it became clear that that was a bad idea. The universe introduced us to Ashley, and she took over ever single detail seamlessly. The further we got into the process, and especially in those last few weeks, the more grateful I was for her expertise. We had a general outline of what we wanted, and Ashley took that and turned it into the absolute wedding of our dreams. Our guests still talk about how beautiful it was and so perfectly executed - and it is really ALL to Ashley's credit. To top it all off she is a kind and caring soul - checking in to make sure WE were doing okay throughout the entire process. 5 star person, 5 star planner! Thank you, Ashley!!

Alyssa Jensen: After following Poppati Events on social media I knew I wanted to hire Ashley right away when we got engaged. We hired Ashley for the full package and it was money well spent! Ashley helped us have the mountain top wedding of our dreams  Ashley is the type of wedding planner that will put her whole heart into the wedding planning. She got to know our personalities and she knew what was very important to us and went above and beyond in those areas. Ashley wants to take the stress away from couples as much as possible and if and when wedding vendors can get tough to work with, she will do everything she has to negotiate what is right for her couples. Ashley was available 24/7 to talk through decisions, ideas, anything and everything you could think of. What I loved about our wedding the most was how personalized it was to us as a couple. All of the wedding guests commented on the personal touches and Ashley helped make that happen. She will ensure that your wedding is unique to you as a couple and she will use her expert experience to suggest the best solutions to you as a couple. I am so glad that I hired Ashley as our wedding planner as it was so helpful to have a neutral party give you expert advice while also letting you as a couple feel empowered to make your wedding exactly how you envision it. Ashley will make sure you do not have to do a thing on your wedding day and we completely got to enjoy the day. Her husband is also an angel and they make an incredible duo when they work together on the wedding day.We are so grateful for all of the hard work Ashley put into our wedding. THANK YOU!!

Stefanie Rebers: completely forgot our table numbers at the hotel

Kathleen Coyle: . Ashley & Adam proactively stayed in touch with us as the trip grew closer. When the trip arrived, we felt like Jay and Bey just showing up to the airport with everything already planned and taken care of  Their attention to detail was apparent throughout the trip which ultimately allowed my husband and me to enjoy each other without worrying about any details. As we sit here writing this review

Heidi Sohn: At the Hewing Hotel, we had the pleasure of one of our wedding couples selecting Ashley to be their wedding coordinator. Ashley was extremely professional, organized, and helpful in ensuring all of the details for the wedding ceremony and reception were everything the couple had hoped for. She was amazingly responsive and detail oriented when we needed help in how to best execute the event to her/our client's expectations. The day was perfect and Ashley was a dream to work with.

Cynthia McQuade: Great customer service & excellent selections for your events.

Claudia Neu Urban: We are so thrilled with MAVEN and our work with Steph for our wedding day! We had a very tumultuous wedding planning process and upon hiring Steph as our Day of Coordinator, we were able to take a deep breath of relief knowing that our day would be beautiful with her help. Leading up to the wedding, Steph was so thorough in knowing how we wanted our day to feel and look, and she also helped with multiple timeline changes and coordinating all of our vendors. The day of, we felt so at ease and were overjoyed with how beautiful the day turned out. Everything went exactly as we planned!

Abbey Burtis Peterson: We went with MAVEN for wedding coordination and could not be happier! Steph, our lead coordinator, was extremely flexible and responsive leading up to the wedding, and totally amazing day of, along with Maggie. Steph made note of every detail and thought of things I wouldn't have. I was able to completely relax on our wedding day knowing we were in good hands. Our guests were sharing compliments all night!

Molly Newell: Hands down the best in the business! Maven was a DREAM to work with for our wedding day floral and coordination. Kelly ensured the month of and day of ran so smoothly. She was so calm and helpful with hiccups along the way, she made us feel so heard and understood, and on top of it all was such a wonderful person to have alongside us on wedding day. She is an expert and it is so clear why she is so highly regarded in the industry. Rachael made our floral dreams come true on a budget. She went above and beyond to execute our vision while somehow making it more beautiful than I ever imagined. She is truly an artist and we're so so lucky she worked her magic at our wedding! I will never shut up about how amazing Maven was for our wedding!!

Megan Keiser: as our day-of coordinator for our wedding at The Neu Neu. I'm absolutely blown away by everything Jordan did for us. She is organized, thoughtful and incredibly detail-oriented. She was so helpful in every planning meeting we had before our wedding, making sure every detail was thought through and ensuring all of my questions were answered. And she really went above and beyond day of - we brought a lot of decor in ourselves and she set everything up so beautifully and handled vendor coordination flawlessly. I was able to sit back and enjoy the day, fully confident that she would handle anything that came her way. I still have family and friends talking about how great she is - we truly could not have done this without her and are so grateful to Jordan and the MAVEN team for their hard work and thoughtfulness.

Maren Rikess: Stephanie and Alyssa were so professional, so helpful, and had things running so smoothly for our wedding! Steph’s support throughout the final month countdown was the best way to settle any sort of wedding nerves or stress about the big day. Steph set everything up so nicely, and even without doing a ceremony rehearsal, our ceremony flowed perfectly because of the confidence and direction of Steph. We never felt rushed or stressed, which is something that I’m SO thankful for. And at the end of the evening, the tear down went so fast due to Steph’s and Alyssa’s hard work. I am so happy with how everything turned out and I couldn’t have done it without MAVEN. Thank you so much for everything!! Cannot recommend MAVEN enough!!!

Laura Bartl: Working with MAVEN was such a great experience! We worked with Steph as our lead coordinator and I could not speak more highly of her! Her communication and organization was amazing, and I truly cannot imagine our wedding day without her. She went above and beyond the day of, and we had so many great meetings with her beforehand. We even had friends/family comment how helpful she was throughout the wedding day! Thank you Steph, and the entire Maven team! Your wedding will be in good hands with them!

Anna Waggener: My partner and I engaged Maven as our day-of coordinator back in 2019 for a 2020 wedding, which we had to postpone. Flash forward to 2022, and Steph was assigned to our event. She was an amazing partner throughout the process, meeting with us in person and by Zoom multiple times to make sure all the details were communicated and we felt comfortable handing things over to her for the day. We also felt that she really got the kind of event we were trying to deliver for our guests, and made suggestions that honored that vision.Day-of, Steph was very present and warm, and she coordinated across all of our vendors to pull off the day and make sure music cues and other details went smoothly. She always had a smile on her face, and if we had any requests, she was able to figure them out. We could not have been happier and we would recommend Maven--and especially Steph, who is a joy to work with--for future events!

Danielle Haller: Rachel and Alyssa were our coordinators 5.28.22 and they did an incredible job. They were on top if everything, checking in with us to make sure we had everything we needed, checking in vendors and entertainment, making sure things were packed up and ready for us to go. Our night would not have gone half as smoothly without them. Cannot recommend their services more.

Michael Travaline: We used MAVEN for a destination wedding and worked directly with Kelly throughout the process. I could not imagine working with anyone else. Kelly was able to guide us throughout the planning process and navigate a complicated web of international vendors. In the end, every aspect of our wedding surpassed our expectations and we could not imagine having a smoother and more enjoyable wedding day. I could not recommend using MAVEN enough!

Uli Martinez: We have had the pleasure of working alongside the MAVEN team for the better part of five years and can not recommend them enough.Upon meeting them, and working a few events along side their team, I was impressed with their professionalism, organization, and commitment to executing impeccable events, while providing the best possible service to all guests and stakeholders.At first, I thought it was just a couple of superstars that I had been randomly paired up with. But, after working dozens of events, alongside countless MAVEN coordinators and leaders, I realized that they were ALL THAT GOOD. This is clearly a testament to their careful dedication to attracting the right talent, providing top-notch training, and having an unwavering attention to detail that has become so rare in this day and age, regardless of industry.On top of all of this, they are kind, friendly, fun to work with, and genuinely good people. You''ll be hard pressed to find a more committed and talented group of people to execute your event.

Elayna Waxse: I would highly recommend her as a wedding coordinator, I felt like she had our back the entire time.

Andrea Lee: . Responsiveness was fantastic throughout, which I appreciated as an anxious person/bride, but there was truly nothing to worry about - they are so professional, good and caring. They want the best for you!

Ali Eull: Positive:Professionalism,Responsiveness

Amanda Brown: stress free without Maven. We worked with them on design, florals, and day-of coordination, and for almost a year, answered every question I had and kept me calm and confident my wedding would happen even as I planned in the midst of COVID. The final day was exactly the wedding I wanted - they completely brought it to life.Specifically, Rachael and Shaley, our floral designer and head designer, made our wedding absolutely stunning. It was exactly what we pictured when we first started planning but also somehow better?! The florals were incredible and every detail was so beautiful and unique and cool. When we got our photos back, we just marveled again at how well everything came together. Shaley did our initial design and connected us with all the vendors to make it happen, and Rachael took that initial design and ran with it in her final florals.We also worked with Calley for our day-of coordination, and she made sure everything went amazingly smoothly. She was somehow invisible but everywhere during the night! She made sure everything ran on time, looked great, and even that my husband and I got to eat all the food we wanted. She helped us get through our final month of planning with our sanity intact and made sure everything came together in the end.

Madeline Fix: I’ve dreamt about designing my wedding since I was little. The flowers, the table settings, the little details are all very important to me, which is why I originally hired MAVEN.Long story short, we had quite a few wrenches thrown at us when planning our wedding

J Nelson: Rachel and Anna with MAVEN Styling were amazing! They were my day-of event coordinators for a rehearsal dinner we held at the Neu Neu in Minneapolis. I could never have gotten through my event successfully without them! They made suggestions about details I overlooked and went above and beyond with helping me feel comfortable with the plan. Most importantly, I was able to completely enjoy my event just as much as my guests did because they kept tabs on the timeline and every detail. On top of all that, they were both delightful women! I truly enjoyed working with them. Thank you Rachel and Anna!!

Laura Wahl: I was absolutely blown away by the floral design by Maven for our wedding! Everything was so beautiful and better than I could have imagined. Kati was extremely helpful and accommodating when dealing with our covid changes and adjustments. We will look back at our wedding photos and forever admire our flowers!! Can’t thank Maven enough!

Camille Sanzi: The MAVEN team was professional, friendly and creative throughout our entire wedding planning process and was committed to ensuring our vision came to life. The team communicated clearly and often, which was much appreciated during what was a tough and uncertain time to plan a wedding and the floral on the day of was even more beautiful than we hoped.

Marty Haas: Kalsey, Hannah, Betsey are a dream team

Mollie Knowles: I have hired Do Good Events to help staff our annual gala for the past few years. They do a fantastic job and I would absolutely recommend hiring them to help staff any event. They are extremely professional, jump right into the work upon arrival and also go above and beyond the work that needs to be done. I also appreciate that they are seasoned event staffers so they know how to speak to attendees, they understand the ever-changing dynamics of events, and can easily adapt as needed.

He traveled to our destination wedding in Mexico without hesitation and provided not only an amazing video we will cherish forever but pictures that are breathtaking! He truly is the full package since he was the DJ for our reception as well. We will always recommend Rick and #FlowEventGroup to anyone we know looking for someone to capture their big day!!!!

Jenni Humes: Rick’s energy and enthusiasm for finding the fun in any situation is truly unique, and he has a very special ability to make people feel comfortable and free to have fun. He photographed my brother’s destination wedding and captured some of the most beautiful and special moments that our whole family will cherish forever. There are many talented people who can take a beautiful picture, but Rick seems to find a way to capture not only the beautiful picture but all of the emotions happening in the moment. Do not hesitate to hire him for your event!

Katie Joneja: Hands down, Rick is the best!! We had an exceptional experience with Rick as our engagement and wedding photographer. His keen eye for detail and overall talent captured both our engagement photos and wedding moments in the most unique and beautiful way. Rick's professionalism, creativity, and friendliness made the entire process very enjoyable! The final photos and video surpassed our expectations, and we are grateful for his ability to capture these precious moments so perfectly. We HIGHLY recommend Rick for anyone seeking a talented and reliable photographer. Five stars!

S. H.: Overwhelmingly impressed!! I hired Flow to be the photographers and videographers for my wedding, and I'm so thankful I did. As true professionals, they knew how to blend in with the crowd to capture the beautiful and natural moments, as well as encourage/direct the MVPS when it was needed. It's been two years since my wedding, and every time I look at the photographs I find new favorites and appreciation.Don't think twice. Go with Flow.

alison watkins: It’s been a great experience at Flo Co!!!!!

Greta Ertl: Absolutely loved working with Rick & Jenny! They made our day feel easy, fun, high vibe! They did our photography, videography and DJ! I loved every moment with them!! They are the best!!!!

You can feel their love and care for you - they want your day to be perfect and special and they are there to ensure that happens! And boy do they deliver. We felt so supported throughout the entire process from start to finish.

Also, when things don't go 'as planned' aka our venues power going out - they don't waste a second. They are already 5 steps ahead of everyone thinking of the best possible case scenarios to make sure the night moves forward as planned. They are who you want around to make your big day perfect! Seriously, we couldn't recommend them enough!! They are some of the most caring and amazing people we've met!! THANK YOU RICK AND JENNY!!!!❤️

Liz vM: Rick and Jenny were our photographers and videographers for our destination wedding and I am SO HAPPY we went with them. I wish we could have used them for DJ services too but our venue wanted us to use theirs obviously. I was feeling nervous for the big day and sent them a list of all the photos I wanted to make sure we got on that day. When the actual day came all plans flew out the window of course due to everyone/everything taking longer than expected and some weather since we were having an outdoor beach ceremony and reception but Rick and Jenny made sure everything happened perfectly and truly lived up to the Flow name. My mom even has a picture of Jenny lying in the sand to make sure she got the perfect shot. I should also mention I hate taking pictures but Rick and Jenny made it fun. Thank you so much for going above and beyond for us on our special day. It was perfect.

Kevin Cunningham: Absolute great experience through a storm and crazy wedding with their photo crew. They stuck with the wedding party and made the night one to never forget.

paige cero: Rick and Jenny have an incredible ability to capture you in your element. The best way I can describe them is photo journalists. They will never tell you how to pose or what to do. They will encourage you to be you and that’s when you end up with photos that really emulate what the moment was like! Could not say better things about their work and them as humans. So glad getting married allowed our paths to cross ❤️

Emma Gislason: I can’t say enough amazing things about these two!!!! They were a highlight of our wedding day. Not only are our photos and videos absolutely stunning, but their energy on the day of added to the event. They keep you on your timeline day of without being pushy! They are truly incredible artists and people. Cannot recommend them enough for your wedding day!!!!!! Love you two xoxo- Emma & Brett

Ashley & Matt Muenzberg: Photo, video, DJ — we're pretty sure they'd officiate if we asked. Not only does their do-it-all attitude makes planning easy, but they're also great at all of it. The engagement and sneak peek photos have been stunning, and we can't wait to see the video. Plus, the thing we wanted most for our wedding was a full dance floor — and boy did we get it. Rick and Jenny know how to have fun and how to capture it.

Gabriel Flaum: We can't even begin to thank Jenny for filming our wedding. Jenny went above and beyond to make our day special and get every moment perfect. She was professional, kind, and most importantly fun. We are so happy to use her services and looking forward to using her in the future.

Michaela Liesenberg: So incredible to work with! We originally hired Flow to DJ our wedding reception, but when Covid forced us to cancel the big reception and have a small elopement, they worked with us to convert our DJ package to a videography package. Rick & Jenny worked with us to make the package conversion so easy and seamless! They were one of the best vendors we worked with in navigating covid changes!My husband and I weren't going to have a videography, but we are SO happy we ended up using Flow! Rick & Jenny were so much fun to have with us on our wedding day and they captured the most intimate and fun moments of the day. The final product is incredible. I cry literally every time I watch our video.I highly, highly recommend using Flow Event Group for any/all of your wedding needs.

Cate Nieveen: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueFlow Event Group kept our wedding dance bumping the entire night! We had such a memorable and amazing wedding dance and Flow made it so much better! Our guests still haven't stopped talking about how fun our dance was and how great it was to have everyone on the dance floor the entire night! Couldn't recommend them anymore!

Ann Hartwig: Rick & Jenny - wow. You two simply have amazing talent and I'm so glad you share it with the world. I had multiple friends use Flow Event Group for their day and I was constantly blown away by the video and images they captured. I knew right away we wanted to reach out to them to film our day.. plus bonus they do music too! They are a one stop shop! We were in tears reliving our wedding day through the video and little moments they captured. Worth every penny having this to look back on. I may be biased but they were one of the BEST wedding DJ's I've experienced. He played hit after hit, it was impossible to sneak away to mingle or grab a drink! We had SO many friends tell us how amazing the dance was. Thank you for making our day so memorable and bringing so much fun. We couldn't have done it without you!

Jeff Long: Exceptional for any event!

Tim Keseluk: I've attended several events at Minneapolis Event Center. Always a wonderful experience. Food and service are excellent. The creative flair never ceases to impress. I highly recommend Minneapolis Event Center.

Cheng Lo: hosted our first Ferrari Owners Club dinner. I have to say that I was blown away by how excellent the service was. From the knowledgeable greeters to the wait staff to Tom the bartender, everyone worked so well as a team to take such good care of all our club members. They truly made our event memorable with how they served us. Appetizers came out fresh, tasty and nonstop. Our main course was served simultaneously to all table members which was really neat!!! I highly recommend MEC for your next event! You will NOT be disappointed! These guys are top notch and know what they are doing.

Rickey Foggie: Great venue to host our arena league media day

Tom Gitaa: Great place to host an event. Bern there s few times for a few events and highly recommend. Was there for Minnehaha Academy's annual fundraiser.

Andrea Cox: Organizing our corporate event at the Minneapolis Event Centers was a seamless experience. From the venue's aesthetics to its state-of-the-art facilities, everything was impeccable. The staff was attentive, ensuring our event was executed without a hitch. A gem of a venue!

Rachel Rockwell: We had our wedding here in January 2023 and were very happy with how everything turned out! The staff was great with helping us both plan and execute our special day. The facility was accommodating to our needs and the food was stellar! I would have another event here in a heartbeat.

Aubrey Rasmussen: Sterling was excellent! They worked with our menu selections and were professional, timely, and fairly priced. We used them for our wedding and everything was delicious! The food was hot when served and the serving staff did a fabulous job of organizing the delivery and removal of food throughout our event.Our menu consisted of steak, chicken, and fish options and each were prepared and cooked perfectly. We will use them again for future catering needs!

Lily Hansen: ! Pre-wedding they are so attentive and prompt at responding, they guide couples through menu planning, and their day-of staff is so kind and always ready to jump in and help. Highly recommend Sterling for weddings & any events!

Samantha Huberty: Sterling Catering was amazing to work with! They were reliable with communicating their plan and helping us lock in details for our special day. They worked with us outside of a venue event and it went seamlessly. Their team was professional and worked hard throughout our day to ensure that everyone had what they needed. Special shout out to Cole who even stayed after to help with clean up, boxing up cupcakes and setting aside table decor. Thank you Sterling team!

Anna Binkovitz: Still in the midst of working on our wedding, but had to come and rave about Sarah, who drove out to Lakeville with the food for our tasting when we had car trouble and couldn’t make our appointment in St. Paul. And even after sitting in our car for the hour drive home, the custom menu they set up for us was delicious. Made it an easy choice and I can’t wait to enjoy the good hot on our wedding day.

Jessica Hauerwas: Sterling catered for one of our corporate events. The menu was delicious, the staff accommodating, and no cleanup for us. We would use them again in a heartbeat.

Lindsey Smit: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueIf you are thinking about going with Sterling Catering, stop thinking and go with them. From our tastings to our big day they were top notch. Sterling provided a better experience and tastier food than more expensive options. Highly recommended!

Casondra Duckworth: Sterling Catering & Events was GREAT to work with for our September 19 wedding at The YARD! The food was greatly priced and delicious! Sarah worked with me to get everything set up just right, accommodating last-minute guest reductions as our guest count dropped due to COVID. They were even able to simply accommodate several gluten-free/vegetarian options for members of our bridal party. Sterling was great to work with!

Sydney Bauer: , and the mimosas were PERFECT! The hot chocolate was delicious! But service is what puts Sterling. Sarah--our main point of contact after the first tasting--was on point with every detail, and always responded quickly to our emails. She was invaluable during the final walk-through. Our entire wedding was fairly last minute

Nadia Benavidez: I used Sterling for my wedding this August at the landmark center. Katie was wonderful and reliable to work with. Every request I had made she executed and made me feel at ease. All of my guests talked about how much they enjoyed the food and compared to the other caterers in Minneapolis Sterling is one of the most cost effective I had found. I 100% recommend using sterling at your event!

Alexis Reece: We just had our wedding at Watson Block and used Sterling Catering. It was AMAZING!! All of our guests enjoyed our food, every plate was perfect and Sarah was so great to work with. You can tell they truly care about their work. I am already craving the Pasta Carbonara. Great people and great staff!!

Andrew Truax: We used Sterling for our bar service at our wedding. Their offerings were exactly what we needed and they treated our guests well. Both Renee and Katie were helpful in the time leading up to our day and helped make the day run smooth. We highly recommend using Sterling at your wedding or next event!

Rose Heaphy: We used Sterling Catering for our wedding. The planning process was easy and the staff was very responsive, especially in the days leading up to our event. We picked the meal choices during a meal tasting - the hard part was narrowing it all down! At the reception, the food was a big hit! We went with a buffet - bacon crusted chicken and a vegetarian penne pasta. Our sides were roasted potatoes, brussel sprouts. The buffet also included a salad. The servers kept the buffet moving and were quick to clear plates or get what we needed. We were also able to order a la carte meals for our guests with specific dietary needs. There was plenty to go around. Affordable, professional and tasty.

Anna Brezny: My husband and I had a great experience with Sterling Catering for our wedding! The food was excellent and the price was really fair. We got a lot of compliments from our guests! Their service was unobtrusive and efficient. We had a buffet, but a few plated meals for people with allergies, and they took care of everything perfectly--everyone got the food that they needed. The waitstaff were all friendly and knew exactly what they needed to do and when they needed to do it. We were so busy on the day of our wedding, that it was wonderful to not need to worry about anything.

Daniel Anderson: We had a fantastic experience from the planning stages to our event. Great selection, high quality, excellent service. Our guests raved about the food. We would definitely book with Sterling again.

Rylie Hougo: Not only was the food we had catered inexpensive, the team was so helpful in working with us on items that we wanted but weren't necessarily on the menu. Wonderful working with the staff day of as well! They definitely went above and beyond our expectations.

Brittany Maloney: I’ve meet a lot of cool people and there are a ton of great events to do!

Josh Nelson: Great place to find people that enjoy going out to do the things you like to do. Plenty of options, events local and afar. Having a group you know to try new things and experience things you want to do more is reassuring.

Jennifer Hruska: Joining this group 6 years ago was one of the best things I’ve done in my life. I’ve had so many wonderful adventures from Kenya to Alaska to Sky diving to glassblowing. The list goes on and on. The dear friends I’ve made will be with me for a lifetime. I love being able to just check the calendar and have something to do whenever I want. Last year I got a personal best and attended 110 events for the year 😎

Joan Lindblom: suggest events, attractions and ideas to a very receptive event coordinator. They go out of their way to make sure every idea suggested is considered and tried.TLDR: I recommend this club to anyone trying to find new ways of meeting people and trying new things!

I enjoy the extensive variety of events and the great people I have met so far!UPDATE 12/2023: I have now been a member of the group for a year. I have met some great people and enjoyed all the different types of events I tried!

Amanda Albertson: Our relationship has developed and strengthened over the last few years over multiple in-person fundraising events, and two all-virtual events. Their expertise in audio visual services is unmatched and we go into each event knowing we are in good hands. Even with experience executing two virtual events now, each event presents it’s own challenges and is a new opportunity. The team at EideCom is knowledgeable about the technology needed for livestream capabilities and willing at adapt based on your needs and location. We have done both a 9-hour livestream event on short notice, as well as a 3-hour Gala fundraiser program – both programs were executed seamlessly, the EideCom team is always prepared to pivot at moment’s notice if needed, and handles every minute of the program with confidence. From the graphics and transitions, to the video content and live-host setup, we were able to pre-rehearse the entire evening and make sure everything was aligned and working properly prior to going ‘live’ which allowed us to execute a polished and professional looking event. Choosing to work with EideCom on our past in-person events, as well as our virtual live-stream events has been our best decision – and we value their partnership immensely.

Patricia Cumbie: We hired Eidecom for our first virtual event and they were absolutely fantastic. They carefully listened to our needs and executed a beautiful event. Our first foray into virtual fundraising was a smashing success, and we appreciate their professionalism and responsiveness that contributed to making it so great.

Samantha Maroney: Positive:Professionalism,Quality

Sonja Moseley: I've hired EideCom for a number of projects and they've always done an amazing job with video production. They have a great team of talented individuals who truly care about you and your company.

Elizabeth Warmka: . They have also provided all of our event audio/visual needs since 2013

Dee Gee: Mr.Bill is the Best

Sadonia Myers: Beautiful venue, look up.

Sarah Jones: Our company threw a massive party at the Lumber Exchange, renting out the 3rd floor and Pourhouse. It was a nearly year-long process, and we were beyond thrilled. Hannah and Barbara worked with us to ensure every last detail was perfect -- It was especially beneficial to have their expert advice while planning from out of state.The day of staff was terrific as well. The entire team was professional and had a fabulous vibe -- really made the party. Thank you to the entire team. Amazing!

teresa guthmann: We loved the Lumber Exchange. Wonderful staff and everyone raved about the space itself.

Mackenzie Reing: The Lumber Exchange was the absolute best!!! The attention to detail was exceptional. They went over and above to make sure every aspect of our celebration was exactly how we wanted. Our day could not have been more perfect!!! I have no doubt that the team at the Lumber Exchange will provide nothing but the absolute best for their clients.

Kelly Duncan: Day Block was the perfect venue for my daughters wedding. The space is just beautiful and was exactly what we were hoping for - the decorations fit perfectly. Chris was very accommodating and responsive. It was all so wonderful and magical - the memories we have are priceless.

Ty Ebert: Like most people sharing here, I was at the venue for a wedding. I moved out of downtown before this opened a while back and had only been downstairs for the pizza and music. The event spaces was well put together and appropriately sized for a 100 to 125 person wedding. There was room to get away from the dancing and chill on the balcony facing US Bank Stadium. As it happens, there was live music in the restaurant patio itself and we got to enjoy that too!The food was good and the staff seemed very responsive to moving tables around when it came time to dance and cleaning up the occasional spilled drink.

Ross Reinhiller: This is a great venue, the staff was so helpful

Patrick Keys: .

Kay Marie Dennis: Very interesting space for an event.

Laura Guzman: We used Day Block for our ceremony, reception, and used their bar services. We picked them primarily because they had an open catering and bar policy and the space is really naturally beautiful. Brittany was our main point of contact and she was responsive to our questions and helped us figure out different options to help the day go smoothly. We ended up renting their first floor auxiliary taproom to move people downstairs during dinner for a cocktail hour and it worked great! It was also really nice that they had tables and chairs we could use for free. The space is beautiful and much more affordable than similar spaces in Minneapolis. We did hire a day-of coordinator to help manage a lot of the details of the day and would recommend others do the same. Also, we were so glad we used their bar services! The selection was great and well priced and the bar tenders managed our rowdy crowd well!

Josh Anderson: Great wedding venue!

Rhonda Tirevold: .Everything seemed to go perfect

Kristen Jakobitz: Great venue to host a wedding, holiday party, or any other event. Unique atmosphere located in the heart of downtown Minneapolis.

Ashli Theis: Day Block provides a very “hands off” experience, which is what we were looking for. We were able to bring in our own caterer and bar and that saved us a lot of money. It is a stunning space and they allow you to make it your own. We were sold on all of its natural elements: brick walls, hardwood floors and natural lighting. We had about 125 guests and we all fit pretty comfortably. Their event manager Brittany was really lovely to work with – she was kind and quick to respond to all of our questions. Ethan, the person we worked with on the day of, was very helpful with all of our needs.

Monica Thiegs: Beautiful event center. Attended for a conference and it was a refreshing change from hotel ballrooms!

Elin Richey: Great place for a wedding ceremony and reception! Beautiful venue with responsive staff! We are so happy we went with Day Block Event Center!

Taylor Bryant: , unique and historical aesthetics, size accommodations, and being available for all external vendors including alcohol. Day Block delivered on all fronts and we had a seamless set-up, beautiful event night, and excellent help from the staff before and during the actual event.A few things to consider based on our actual event...Our wedding had 180 guests and there are two main rooms in the Day Block. The East Room

Yakiria Goldsmith: Victoria and team were very professional at all times. We appreciated her transparency throughout the entire process. “They understood the assignment.” Our guest were so pleased and impressed with the venue, catering and staff. I highly recommend FIVE Event Center for your next celebration. Victoria made planning seamless. Thank you FIVE.

Kaitlyn Worner Kueppers: FIVE hosted our wedding recently, and we could not have had a better experience. Victoria was phenomenal. She listened to our needs, was quick to respond to our questions, worked well with our day of coordinator, and helped bring our vision to life. Several of our guests commented on how smoothly the day went. The space itself is beautiful, close to several places for guests to explore, and near many lakes for photos. We highly recommend FIVE Event Center for any event!

Hannah Rohlinger: Our wedding at FIVE was everything we imagined and more! The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and my favorite part was it really speaks for itself, doesn’t need much added! It was important to us to have our wedding in the city. I still can’t believe how affordable FIVE is compared to other venue. Our guests and family loved it! We had 155 people and it was spacious for everyone. We truly could not have had such of a great wedding without Victoria, the venue coordinator. She was responsive and quick to answer all my questions! She went above beyond in every single aspect of the day. Anyone would be so lucky to have her there for their special day!

Vicki Kueppers: We just had a wedding in October of 2023 and everything could not have been more perfect. Victoria from the venue was so organized, helpful, and executed our plans perfectly... going above and beyond all day, even helping with some decor. This space is so beautiful, clean, and spacious. Both the cater and bartenders were wonderful as well. Five Event Center made the wedding day truly low-stress and we would do it all over again with them. Thank you!!

T'mone Kleindl: This was a fantastic space for our wedding reception.The speaker system could use an upgrade, but it is by no means a deal breaker.There was some difficulty with communication on the day of the reception, but we are partly at fault for this.The staff takes themselves seriously, which can be both good and bad, and they very clearly take pride in their work

Megan Jeddeloh: - spacious enough not to feel crowded but still intimate and inviting. Their catering partner DECO was awesome and the venue manager Victoria was fantastic to work with. We couldn't have imagined a better day and we would absolutely hold another event at FIVE!

Brityn Thompson: We loved our experience at The Five! This venue had everything we needed, room for getting ready, downtown feeling, a nice inviting space for our guests, and it was affordable! We loved working with their staff and felt well taken care of and listened to. The photos were STUNNING in their space. Can’t recommend it enough!

tim Purtle: Parking is a little challenging!!

Stephanie Friedman: . We had a lot of guests compliment the beauty of the space. 10/10 would recommend FIVE Event Center and their team!

Momolu Cooke: I never experience anything like this before Geiselle runway fashion did this year amazing people showing new wear for new millennium the vibes blow mine mind we do this every year so be in tune with Geiselle Fashion we bringing only the best from Liberia.....

Bradley George: Bryant lake bowl pride block party, Minneapolis Pride on the Friday during pride week is a must. Crowd is alternate, fun, and there to have a good time! Local bands, djs and drag performers that are lined up to perform are local top talent. One of Minneapolis pride weekend best kept secret.

Demetra Williamson: The space has a main and second floor. There were big windows that let a lot of natural light it which was nice. They had family style restrooms upstairs and a men and womens on the main floor. There was a bar/sink area in the middle of the front of the upstairs area which could be great, unfortunately for the event I went to the middle bar made it a bit difficult for people on the other side of the room to seem what was going on. Overall great and I loved the giant mirror they had on the stair case landing.

Madeline Yanz: I can not recommend this venue enough! I recently took part in a fashion show hosted at FIVE Event Center, and I was blown away by the beautiful space, the atmosphere they created there, and their wonderful venue manager Victoria. She was SO kind and helpful throughout the evening. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Edi Hesser: Absolutely beautiful venue, great service. Elegant and chic decor.

Scott Sitron DJ: What an amazing wedding Five is and everything is perfect. The bathrooms are clean and all of the windows look like they had just been washed. Every detail was taken care of perfectly.The management and staff are beyond friendly and the layout is perfect! The acoustics made the sound of my speakers. So delightful. I received two compliments about the quality of the sound.
