THREE CHEERS FOR AMY ZAROFF AND HER EXCEPTIONAL TEAM!…read more My younger sister got married last weekend and for the past 9 months or so the gals at Zaroff have taken care of her, and my family's, every need and executed a huge 400+ person wedding without a hitch and really added to the positive experience for the bridal party and my sister, the bride. These girls think of everything and they execute A+, 100%. From detailed hair and makeup schedules to the actual set up of an event, if you work with Zaroff you know that everything will be taken care of and you can really experience your event as a guest -- without worry. From small garden parties to bar/bat mitzvahs, individualized stationary and invitations or large scale events I wouldnt hesitate to strongly recommend Amy and her team for anyone throwing an event or needing design help in the MPLS/St Paul metro.

We cannot say enough about how amazing Allie was on our wedding day. She literally handled…read moreeverything. No task was too big or too small. From set-up, to the flow of the evening, she kept us on track and allowed us to enjoy ourselves at our own wedding. Thank you for everything!!

I had the good fortune of working with Hannah Hegman and Do Good Events on a nonprofit fundraising…read moreevent they recently produced. Over the duration of the event, I had occasion to meet and chat with several other staff members of Do Good Events. It's been my experience that companies that hire people like Hannah Hegman tend to hire good people in general. Everyone on her team was creative, gracious and consummately professional. They all worked together to make that event a smashing success. Guests had a blast. Event staff got to participate in an event that would really make a difference in their communities. I was, and continue to be, thoroughly impressed by their organizational prowess. It's hard enough to throw a good party, it's an entirely different beast to throw a good party with a mission. Hannah Hegman and Do Good Events possess that special combination of skills that sets them apart. If you're going to be hosting an event in the non-profit world, here's a life hack: Call Do Good Events. Ask for Hannah. Rest a little easier.

If you are going for a breathtaking WOW factor this is it! I do believe weddings are their main…read morebusiness and they have the decoration and space set up organized and down to a science. Your event will probably go off without a hitch. If you are a bride that likes glamour and things done in a big way---this will probably be a venue you will want to check out. I am more about quality and substance vs. quantity and showiness therefore I can only give it a three stars based on my likes and dislikes. I recently attended an event there and for the money that was spent a few things I would have been disappointed in was the sound quality indoors and outdoors. --How close the chairs were outside--they are small seated chairs and unless you have the ass of a child they did not need to be touching because most adults need the room on the side of the chair for some overflow. The food---I had steak and others had the chicken and fish and one vegetarian had pasta...the feedback on all of it was not that good! These plates are all right around 32-38 per plate so at that price you would expect delicious food. I think the quality of the food was there and it had more to do with the preparation vs. the product itself. The staff was a little snippy with the wedding party in the afternoon when one asked if there was anyway possible they could get coffee or water--apparently this is a money making business and that was not part of the deal so they were shut down with a curt response of No-but nice try!!!! The open bar selection was boring and standard--and the glassware was not upscale. I would have expected a martini glass to be available and perhaps a few more exotic liquors and mixers just for fun. These are all areas that you can address beforehand if you choose to use this as your venue --I feel like if you are aware of some of this it can easily be enhanced for a five star experience.

I cannot tell you how AMAZING Paul/DJ Sticky was for our wedding. We interviewed about 5 different…read morecompanies and DJs as music was one of our top priorities for the day. Paul was recommended to us by a friend - he was responsive, a clear communicator, his contract was simple and justified. He took time to understand us and what our vibe was, took care of all the details, made sure everything flowed perfect throughout the evening. We got married at The Whim, and he had great advice on where to place speakers during cocktail hour, the dance floor, etc so that everyone could hear well throughout the night. He honored our playlists we provided for cocktail hour and the dance party while still adding his own flair. He read the dance floor and kept it packed ALL NIGHT. The Sessions photo booth was perfect for what we were looking for and we loved being able to look through them all the next day! You MUST use DJ Sticky for your wedding, you will be in the best hands!!

The gym smelled like feet, like it hasn't been washed properly. There was a lot of free play time at first, which isn't terrible, but they didn't really communicate when the festivities and organized activities would start. Cool concept, kids love ninjas and obstacle courses, but for sure room for improvement.
