AZ Planned MN Wedding Reception

My wife and I got married in AZ where we live and were planning our wedding reception in MN to be able to celebrate our new chapter with all of our family and friends. We initially thought this was going to be an impossible task until we met Leslie at the Banquets of Minnesota. She was really good about communicating with us about everything we wanted and made our wedding dreams come true! They offer catering services and have other vendors they routinely work with that really made this a one stop shop for our reception. The food was incredible, as well as the DJ company she recommended. Leslie truly made planning this event easy for us and took care of everything the day of allowing us to relax and enjoy ourselves. Highly recommend!

Absolutely Incredible!

I'm not sure we can put into words how grateful and impressed we were with Leslie and the entire staff at Banquets, but we will try. From start to finish they made the entire process so incredibly easy and comfortable. The venue itself is so affordable and they set up a ton of the decorations for you. Leslie, the venue manager, is a complete professional. She knows exactly what she's doing and we had total trust and confidence in her. We received ENDLESS compliments about the space, the staff, and the FOOD (which is incredible). They also have so many established relationships with cake, DJ, photo booth, and hotel vendors that the rest of your wedding planning essentially is done. They have two spaces - one larger and one smaller. At first I was worried about them having two weddings at once but to be honest we didn't even notice the other party so it felt completely private. If you are on the fence about anything, absolutely book the Banquets. You will not be disappointed. We weren't and I fully believe that the Banquets was central to us having the best day of our lives. Thank you to Leslie and the amazing wonderful staff at Banquets!!!!

Thanks to Banquets of MN our reception was incredible! First, we received many compliments from our guests about the food, the gorgeous set up of the banquet room, the wait staff and their attention to detail, & did I mention the FOOD which was delish! Secondly, by using vendors that had a relationship with Banquets it made planning effortless. The one stop shop is the way to do it. Last but definitely not least, Leslie was awesome to work with. She responded in a timely matter to our texts and our many questions. She is a true professional and this shows by being organized, friendly, and helpful. She truly loves her job and wants to create a beautiful experience for the wedding couple.
