Our experience at the Holiday Inn & Suites in St. Cloud was nothing short of fantastic! From start to finish, everything went smoothly. We hosted a conference with a large meeting room, breakouts, a vendor show, as well as breakfast, lunch, and dinner — the whole package! The staff went above and beyond to meet all of our needs. A special thank you to the amazing sales team—Sarah, Amy, and Lindsey—who meticulously coordinated every detail. The banquet staff was top-notch, especially Nicole and Terry (they were phenomenal!), and Colin, who ensured the setup was flawless. Pearl at the front desk was always there to assist with any questions. Brad, the General Manager and Gina the Assistant General Manager truly lead a remarkable team, and it’s clear in the exceptional service they provide. Whether you're planning a corporate event, wedding, or kids’ sports event, this hotel will exceed all expectations.

Rolling Ridge was everything we wanted in a venue! When we first saw the venue we knew it was perfect for our day because there are many wonderful options to have your ceremony, dinner and dance. We knew no matter what that if Option A (having ceremony/dance outside) didn't work out due to weather, then we were perfectly fine with Option B which would be moving everything in doors because everywhere has great ambiance which put us at ease during the planning months. From day one they were so accommodating and truly let your visions come to life. They also were so organized and provided the best planning tools so you felt like you were always on track and they helped you think of all the little details it takes to hosting a wedding. I never felt stressed or overwhelmed when working with Rolling Ridge. All of our guests were blown away by the beauty of this venue and we can't recommend them enough to any future couples.

I loved the Regency Venue for my wedding on Saturday, May 18th, 2024! I was initially attracted to the Regency because it was a beautiful blank space, and it allowed me to be more creative with my decorations! Ashley & Katelyn were wonderful to work with and responded to my questions quickly during the planning process! Ashley was my DOC, and she was amazing! My hostesses & decorator said she was very helpful with a lot of the wedding day details! I also loved that we got the space from 7:00am - 12:00am and some additional time after to clean up! We stored a lot of the decorations in the bridal suite until Sunday morning, which was nice because we didn't have to be comepletely out of the space on the nice of our wedding, letting us enjoy the night! It was also great working with Short Stop Custom Catering for the Food & Bar Service! Theresa was there to answer any of my questions during planning, and the tasting experience was so fun! Their tasting room is beautiful & I loved being able to try their food with my family! The catering team was incredible & so friendly! We had stuffed sirloin for our entree, and it was delicious! I got so many great reviews from my guest about the wonderful food, great staff, and exceptional bar service! They handled all the set up and tear down of the tables, chairs, and linens & the room flip from ceremony to reception which was a life saver! I cannot recommend the Regency Venue & Short Stop Custom Catering enough! :)

Mel (events director) made sure we stayed on track with timeline and choosing all the details. Larry (entertainment director) made sure our guests had the best time - I don't think the dance floor was ever empty! And we can't forget about Alyssa (day of coordinator) - she made sure the team had us covered in ways we would have never thought. She made the day stress-free, which was a dream!

Reeds & Rushes is an amazing venue! When we first toured the place, it was still under construction, but we trusted Curtis and Maddy's vision. They truly impressed us with the final result. With the wood details and black and white accents, the venue provides the perfect backdrop for your special day. We were thrilled with the addition of the dock and the pergolas in the back patio. Our outdoor ceremony by the lake was beautiful. The Bridal & Groom suites were terrific, I loved that the Groom suite had a golf simulator – it kept the guys entertained while they waited! The Bridal suite was also gorgeous and spacious enough for 8 girls. Curtis and Maddy were excellent to work with, very responsive, and always helpful whenever we had any questions. I would definitely recommend them!

When it comes to wedding venues, being allowed the freedom to make decisions that are in the best interest of our shared couples is a MUST. I've handled several weddings at The Jerome Event Center. The Graunkes, as well as their team, have ALWAYS made me feel like a member. Accommodating of my needs, communicative of client expectations, I have always felt that the relationship that we've established is as important as the relationship that's been established with the couples that are in our care. Trust is HUGE in this industry, not just from the couples that choose us to take care of them, but from the other vendors that we work alongside. I appreciate the trust and faith that has been placed in me by the team at The Jerome Event Center.
