The Courtyards was GREAT! We had a larger wedding and needed the larger room, which is really a great value if you have a need for that big of a space. We had some non-traditional entertainment (bouncy castle for the little kids in one corner) and the staff was VERY accomodating of us on the night of our reception, even if they were a little hard to nail down some of the details before hand. They did eventually confirm everything prior to the date, and they were very open to what we wanted to do. Most prices were reasonable, some high for the area, but overall a good value.

Joy was great, she was very flexible while still making sure that she got all the photos we had agreed upon ahead of time. Our photos are definitely the treasured memories that we had in mind when we planned out wedding, and they will be for years to come.

Ah, it was flowers. They were OK, not spectacular, Not Terrible, just OK. We were looking for a deal, and we got what we paid for.

We received our Tuxes from the Coon Rapids Riverdale Location (not on the list?) I've seen other reviews that said they thought Men's Wearhouse was expensive, but we received a discount for signing up with them at a Wedding Fair. This discount made them very competitive price wise. There were the usual errors/mistakes with the sizes, but between having enough stock locally, and the adjustments they made in-house while we waited everything was taken care of pretty snappy.

Obviously this is more DIY than other invitation places, but the cost we paid for our invitation reflected that. After clawing through their bins of halfway organized samples we came across a few that we liked, the staff helped us work up samples in our colors and prices for the number we needed. When we came back and purchased all the paper and envelopes they basically opened the door to their workroom for us to use their equipment. We ended up with a fairly complicated cut/fold system that resulted in a very neat invitation, but would not have been possible without their cutters. My only complaint is that their stock of other supplies (non paper stuff) could be a little bigger, but they are a small mom & pop shop. Service was great every time I went here.
