She came to my house and picked everything up the weekend before. Called all my vendors a few days out to make sure everyone knew where they needed to be and at what time. We only met once right after I got engaged and I knew she was the gal for me. After a short conversation I felt very comfortable that she knew exactly what I was looking for. She gave me all kinds of great tips and recommendations. Because of the venue I got married at, there was no dressing area for me to hide in, so I didn't arrive at the wedding until it was time to walk down the aisle. I hadn't seen the venue decorated until then. I could not stop looking around. She made my wedding more beautiful than I imagined it would. If she was stressed out, it didn't show. Every time she talked to me she was as cool as a cucumber. I can't sing her praises enough!

We cannot recommend Ty's Wedding Rental enough. Our original venue fell through due to covid, and…read morewe had no idea what we were doing. Ty called us just minutes after receiving our inquiry and from the first moment, brought an excitement, clarity, and calmness to wedding planning that we could not have done without. Throughout the whole process, he was quick to answer questions, extremely informative, and always so kind. The tent set-up process was incredibly smooth and Ty and his team communicated with us throughout the whole process. And the finished product was BEAUTIFUL! We couldn't believe how magical everything looked. And our guests LOVED the restroom trailers - people are still telling us about how much they loved using them. We would 10/10 recommend Ty's Wedding Rental to anyone!!!

Josie was the greatest and my friends and family all commented on how amazing she was! She was there for us before the wedding, getting us organized AF with resources she provided for us. She made sure we had all of our essentials organized, and that everything important to us was especially cared for. We had absolutely nothing to worry about on our wedding day. She was there to make sure everything was set up correctly, and everyone was where they needed to be for the ceremony. During the reception she was invaluable and made sure everything ran smoothly, and then she was there to organize everything we needed to take home. I can't recommend her highly enough!

One word sums up all that Rachelle brings to the table for planning your wedding - AMAZING! I knew…read morefrom the first day when we had hundreds, actually thousands of tablecloths to choose from that I needed her professional services and guidance. We had decided to plan the "wedding of the year" and Rachelle sure came through for us. We had a solid timeline and budget and needed to balance that with our dreams and desires and she helped us design the perfect event!!! We became so comfortable and confident in her capabilities, that we often just said "you decide... we trust you"... and she took it from there. Our wedding turned out to be an event of all events and one that our guests will remember forever. Just as we had hoped. From every detail such as a roaming oyster shucker, to a 5 course dinner complete with wine pairings for each course, a 3 day wedding that spanned multiple venues and an after party complete with a contortionist on top of an enormous disco ball... every detail was captured. A few months after the wedding, I had someone comment at a restaurant how the flatware looked like the ones at our wedding... The flatware? Who remembers the flatware at a wedding...?? The guests that come to a wedding planned by Rachelle do! All the partners/vendors she pulled in were excellent and knew how to work with her. I even loved how she pushed back when we started to get crazy ideas. The perfect balance we needed to make a perfect event. She is simply the BEST....

Joe was so easy to work with, organized, and made me feel at ease from the very first contact. We were lucky enough to have Ryan DJ our actual wedding. He was AWESOME. Professional, on time, and SUPER fun. Ryan met with us prior to the wedding to make sure he had the game plan down, and he definitely listened and delivered on every single request we had! We also had a wide range of guests, so we really appreciated that he kept the party going while still keeping everything family-friendly and appropriate. All our guests raved about him, and we've been really happy to be able to recommend him to some of our close friends with upcoming weddings. If you are on the fence about hiring Open Bar, don't hesitate - they are worth every penny! Our dance floor was literally packed for the entire duration of the dance, and it is 100% due to Ryan's mad party skillz!

It couldn't tell if she didn't know what questions to ask or if she just didn't care enough to ask them. Questions like; what's the event's theme? What look are you going for? What's the mood you're trying to set? How many people are you expecting? Here are my suggestions on décor for the space? Etc. For our first meeting, we walked the space; I told her my ideas and presented images of the things I liked from their website. Being that she was the pro, I was really looking for her expertise and guidance, but didn't get it. On the positive side, she was available and replied to emails/phone calls promptly. When I told her that my budget had been slashed, although she didn't offer many ideas on what to do with décor, she was receptive to ones I had proposed. When it came to the final list of items we'd be using, I'm grateful that she was willing to work with me on getting the cost of labor/delivery/set-up/take down reduced, because $400 for 38 pillows and 3 pop banners was way too high. Especially since the items was just $250-ish. Anyway, overall working with them was fine. The items arrived to the destination on time, they picked up everything on time and although the event planning service left much to be desired, I guess they fulfilled their end. They got me the items I asked for, on the date I asked for, on time. Just keep in mind that you may not get much direction and guidance.

Tour guide Doug Kline impressed everyone with his knowledge of the area and its history, as well as his ability to present the info in an interesting way. When our group decided to return to the Twin Cities for this year's reunion, we didn't hesitate to contact Renee and Linda. We asked for Doug to guide our tours and were thrilled that he was available, along with our Gray Line driver from two years ago, Stuart Ring, who was also available for one of the tours. Well ahead of both reunions, Renee provided excellent descriptions of each tour, including photos and prices, for prospective attendees. Linda kept us informed about deadlines and numbers of people who were registering. All the tours were outstanding. All motor coaches were clean and comfortable. All drivers, escorts, and guides were friendly and helpful. Our group especially enjoyed Doug. We highly recommend metroConnections!

The day felt like it went off without a hitch. I'm sure there were hiccups, but Kristin took care of them all before my husband and I ever heard anything about them. By the time we got to the wedding day, I was so comfortable with Kristin. We had emailed, talked a dozen times, and met in person as well. We lived out of state, and Kristin was very accommodating, often meeting when we were home around holidays. My husband and I are very organized, but it was wonderful to have someone with experience to bounce ideas off of and take a second look at plans. And all of this was before we even got to the wedding day! I loved having Kristin as a coordinator because she happily and promptly took care of anything we asked. On top of that, she ran interference and let us enjoy the day. Right before we sat down for dinner, Kristin let us know that she swapped two of the tables so a family member could plug in his oxygen tank. Kristin saw this need, took care of swapping the tables and informing the caterer, and then filled us in when we had a free moment. All of these little things throughout the day could have meant time my husband and I (or our close family members) would have had to take away from enjoying the event, but Kristin covered them all. At the end of the reception, I had asked my sisters to help my parents stay behind and clean up. Again though, Kristin had it covered, letting my exhausted parents go home to bed and my sisters out to party further with friends. The next morning, Kristin let us know that one of the groomsmen had forgotten to grab his suit when he left, and she offered to take it back to the rental store for us. Even though we did not hire them as a full wedding planner, Simply Elegant was there from the moment we hired them until the week after the wedding, always one step ahead of our needs.
