    A Dream to Work With

    Festivities was so wonderful to work with. From the initial meeting to communication after the wedding I was so impressed with Paloma and the Festivities team. Their showroom quality was better than others I had visited which calmed a lot of my fears. I'm big on organization I felt so much for confident in Festivities abilities with their showroom organization and cleanliness. Paloma was a dream to communicate with an rolled with so many punches in getting me adjusted estimates as our needs and guest counts changed. I will for sure be recommending Festivities to others and hope to use their services for other fun events in the future.

    Great experience! Created our vision perfectly!

    We highly recommend working with Festivities! It was a 10/10 experience from beginning to end! We worked with Rachel and Jennifer to create the wedding decor of our dreams! We loved the design process working with their team, viewing the options in the showroom and our decor on our wedding was exactly what we envisioned.

    Fair priced and ready to make your vision come to life!

    We worked with Festivities for chairs, linens, and other decor for our August 15th, 2020 wedding. I was extremely impressed with Festivities timeliness to respond to questions, fair pricing, and that they never pressured us to upgrade. Instead, they listened to our vision and found the decor needed to make it come to life! When a positive covid case forced us to reduce our guest count by 5 people last minute, they were very understanding and did not hesitate to adjust our pricing accordingly. If you choose to go with festivities, I highly recommend using their sheer drapes with string lights for ceiling decor. It transformed our venue into a beautifully romantic setting. I highly recommend Festivities for anyone who is looking for a reasonably priced and professional event decor company.

    Beautiful florals!

    The consultation was so helpful. I don't know the names of any flowers, but I had a specific vision for what I wanted. Audra helped by getting my comments on different pictures of flowers, and they totally nailed what I wanted in the end.

    wonderful!

    Very quick email responses, worked with me planning an out of state wedding at home and the few times that I was able to fly back here to have meetings, etc. and let us change things around as needed up until a couple weeks before. They set up everything up, and it was 100% correct, so no worries on site the day of. It is expensive, but I suppose all these event rental places are. (pics posted show set up night before, so no plates, etc.- just chair covers, twinkle lights/tuling in ceiling, head table backdrop from Festivities; ceremony arbor not pictured here)

    Amazing experience

    I truly believe that without the assistance of Caitlin from festivities, our wedding would not have been as beautiful as it was. She held my hand through the entire process and always made me feel like I was a priority; even during the Minneapolis Superbowl when she was undoubtedly extremely busy. Not only did she help me pick out table, chairs, linens, cups, ect., but she also helped me with the floor plans, adding and subtracting tents, and last minute adding side walls to the tents due to the weather. With getting married in a park, there were a lot of details I did not plan for, but Caitlin did. She 100% took care of setting up the fire inspection, making sure everything was up to "code" and cutting a check to the fire department for the inspection. Caitlin put up with a lot from myself and my father, and she was always professional, caring, and communicated with me through the entire process. If I ever decide to have any party, she is the person I will go to. Without a doubt, Caitlin is the reason everything at our wedding went perfectly. I cannot say enough great things about this company but mostly this wonderful employee. She truly loves her job, and it shows in her day to day interaction.

    This vendor was a homerun! We worked with Audra who was EXCEPTIONAL to work with! She was prompt with her responses, very creative with her ideas, but also made sure to stick to any budgets, likes or dislikes, etc. that we had. We used Festivities for floral and decor and it was the best decision we made having those two items come from the same vendor. I highly recommend it!

    I am so happy we chose Festivities as our linen/décor rental company! All the staff were so accommodating, pleasant, and helpful. On top of that, they turned our (kind-of-ugly) reception venue into a BEAUTIFUL room. My jaw dropped to the floor when I saw how lovely of a job they did!! I would highly recommend Festivities to any bride looking for amazing décor and rental services!!

    Festivities did fantastic work!!! We were so impressed by the absolutely stunning flowers that they provided for our wedding ceremony and reception. Debbie Seabloom was the main coordinator for the project, and she was easy to work with. The flowers looked exactly how we had envisioned them. We had sent Debbie several images of what we liked, and she successfully made our venue look like as we had imagined it would. We also hired Festivities to provide satin linens for our dining tables. We are very glad we added that to our package. We are so grateful for all the hard work she and her crew put into our big day. The venue looked breathtaking!! We highly recommend Festivities to anyone looking for a top-notch florist.

    I used Festivities primarily for linens. They helped me figure out exactly what I wanted by setting up a table for me and messing around with various options until I was satisfied. And when I needed a last minute item (a rather large podium), it was super easy to have them add it to the order. Also, if you are looking to save a few bucks on delivery and setup fees, they allow you to pick up the items (we did it the Wednesday before our wedding). They were always quick and responsive, and the linens turned out great!

    Working with Festivities was great. They were very helpful and patient, and they really listened to what I wanted. It was also very convenient to have flowers and decorations done by the same place.

    I knew the decorations were going to be beautiful, but I was surprised at just how lovely they were. And if I was impressed by the decorations, I was amazed by the flowers - the bouquets they made for me and my bridesmaids were truly stunning. I would definitely recommend them.

    We rented table runners from Festivities for our wedding -- they had tons of options to choose from, were in great quality and also very affordable (considering we needed about 30 of them). The service was extremely professional and flexible; allowing our wedding planner to pick up everything opposed to paying for delivery and taking payment over the phone the day before the wedding. Needless to say, they worked with our last-minute, scatter-brained minds! Can't go wrong by choosing Festivities!

    Our wedding planner recommended Festivities and she was spot on! At our consultation they put together a table showing me our colors in different table settings and it helped me decide what I wanted. They let me get in there and play with the settings until I found exactly what I wanted. And even on a budget the decor was prettier than I thought it would be! They were flexible and even contacted my planner when a vase broke leading up to the wedding. They wanted to make sure I was ok with the replacement! I appreciated that very much. I would recommend Festivities to others!

    Festivities did an abosolutely beautiful job decorating my wedding. We used them for linens, chairs and a pergola. They did an amazing job draping the pergola and ceiling, they were so beautiful. They were very patient when I was making decisions and allowed me to come in multiple times when I wanted to make changes. They answered my many questions and gave me lots of advice. They were very responsive and did everything on time the day of the wedding. They also worked well with all my other vendors! I would recommend them to anyone!

    We got married in the backyard of some family friends which meant we had to rent everything from power to the bathrooms. Festivities did a great job of taking what could have been a very overwhelming process and made it easy. We really feel like Debbie and the Festivities team did a great job and went above and beyond for us!

    Festivities was wonderful - we were able to go to their showroom and experiment with vases, flowers, colors, etc. and had a good idea of what we were going to do with our centerpieces and decorations once we left. They gave us a good deal on what we rented and worked with our Reception site to coordinate the delivery and pick up of the items. We also had a few tweaks to our #s and items on our contract and they were extremely accomodating, sending us updated contracts each time making it easy to track our changes.
    Our reception was beautiful and all decorations were in perfect condition. Would definitely use again for any upcoming parties!

    Festivities worked with our reception location and was part of our package. I didnt get to see the final display of the centerpieces, but the day of the wedding everything was beautiful. Payment details, flower details, and questions were so easy and answered on the spot. I would highly recommend festivities to anyone.

    One of my favorite vendors we worked with! I was just in awe of the beautiful flowers and how they made my vision come true. We had Festivites do our flowers, rented chargers, and votives. They were beyond helpful and easy to work with. We had originally met with Katie and she was amazing. I didn't find out until two weeks before the wedding she was no longer with Festivities and I had a hard time getting a hold of someone just to confirm everything for the day-of because I hadn't any other contact besides her and the emails I was sending to her were going unanswered. The flowers I received were absolutely beautiful but there were some specifics I had talked to Katie about my bouquet that was missed. I still give them 5 stars because those were just small things in the whole picture. I'm also so glad we rented the chargers, they made a huge difference and were cheaper than any other place we price checked AND they were easy to return. We pretty much told Festivities to pick whatever flowers that fit our colors/vision and wow were they perfect. They sent us a really beautiful mix of flowers that withstood the HOT HOT HOT day and didn't wilt at all. Can't say I would recommend them enough and again one of my favorite vendors we got to work with.

    Festivities is my dream wedding vendor! They offer everything from floral, décor, lighting, draping - you name it and Festivities can provide and exceed your expectations tremendously! I am getting married next May and have already had a consultation with Jackie and she was so helpful and such an expert at her job. I thought it was amazing that I could help design my own wedding bouquet and really be vocal about every step in the process, yet still give me great advice and help me cut costs. I can't wait to continue to work with Jackie and the Festivities team as I plan my wedding. If you're looking for a one stop shop for the best wedding décor and flowers, you NEED to call Festivities!

    I had an amazing experience with Festivities! I hadn't originally planned on using rental services like theirs, but the week OF the wedding I freaked out and needed something. I called, they said they could help, I ran to their showroom and got just what I needed. I was SO grateful that they put my mind at ease and were able to accomodate me so late in the planning process. The linens and centerpiece mirrors really helped the room come together like I had invisioned it.

    We had a great experience with Jackie at Festivities. She helped us with our vision for the décor at our wedding. We also rented items for our rehearsal dinner. The delivery was made on time and pick up was on time and made out life so much easier. It was worth the delivery fee.

    I came into festivities with pretty much no idea what I wanted. I told Samantha I liked pink and bling and she had tons of ideas and created beautiful bouquets and centerpieces. I also emailed her back and forth a million times making changes to my order. She was always responsive and super nice. The only reason I didn't give a five out of five for responsive is because I would have liked a phone call the week of the wedding saying that everything will be ready to go on the day of the wedding. I also got my chair covers from festivities and it was really nice to have one vendor for both chair covers and floral. I would definitely recommend them!

    They did an awesome job decorating. However, their selection of colors are not broad. My wedding party color was not anywhere near the color of linens used at the reception. I was a little disappointed that there was such a big different.

    Festivities was awesome!! They helped me brainstorm ideas for centerpieces with the decor I already purchased and were great visionaries for my theme with my colors. We ended up renting chairs for the ceremony and they were delivered and everything went smoothly. Remember to update your numbers 2 weeks prior, for there was some confusion between festivities and my venue when it came time to pay the bill...my venue wasn't updated by festivities with the new bill...so I'd be mindful of your guest count.

    We had Festivities do the Ceiling Draping at the hotel for our wedding reception. It was BEAUTIFUL! The hotel was flexible and let them setup the day before, making it very easy to work with their timing. Only mix up was with the chairs. They said they were going to deliver them when we had someone go to pick them up. Either way, they were there ahead of schedule. The cost definitely was worth it! They provided the perfect additions to our day!

    What is great is they are a one stop shop and your good to go which with everything is so nice. They did a great job setting up and making sure everything was in the place we had asked for. The florist they worked with did a fantastic job very fresh and well placed floral. Plus having someone take care of set up and tear down is something I couldn't have done without and they delivered.

    Festivities did our ceiling draping. Our reception was at The Chalet at Elm Creek, which has large timbers across it. They're nice enough on their own, but they were beautiful with the draping. Festivities did a very nice job, and they were very friendly to work with.

    We also had an arbor that we rented. It was beautiful! I only wish it hadn't been quite so windy outside so we could have gotten more pictures with it, (it was our intention to take pictures of the guests there, but everybody wanted to stay inside, instead).

    They also had so much neat stuff available to rent! We found them late in our planning stages and already had most of that kind of stuff covered; we pretty much only needed the draping, and couldn't resist the arbor, too. I would suggest going there a bit sooner for other brides, so you can get an idea of what they have available to rent.

    Overall, my experience with Festivities was great. Our deliveries were on time and exactly what we had ordered. The customer service was great and all staff we interacted with were very helpful! The only thing that was a bummer for us was there were so many surcharges added to our bill because we requested delivery and pick up and we were married on a Sunday (outside of their normal business hours). I am glad that we payed to have the work done for us, it just got to be expensive. Overall, great vendor!

    We used Festivities to do the decorations for our wedding as well as be our florist. It was so fun to look through the different options of flowers, chairs, arches, etc. with Debbie. She was very knowledgable and had great ideas on how to cut costs where possible without cutting style. I wasn't even sure what flowers to use, but I was able to give her the idea I was going for and they put together the exact look and feel of what I had in my mind. They also worked with our baker to put real flowers on our cake. Everything turned out absolutely beautiful and I would definitely recommend them!!

    I worked with Festivities through Oak Ridge Hotel for our centerpieces. I had some specific ideas in mind that went outside the packages they usually provide. I appreciated that Festivities was open and willing to work with me and my vision. Sometimes I felt they were short with me in communications, which doesn't calm a nervous bride. But the flowers in the end were gorgeous and just as I had hoped.

    Overall good with a few small issues

    Had them for a wedding this past weekend. Flowers were beautiful. They hit the delivery setup window but by minutes and thus were rushed which caused the breakage of a few items and one item that was forgotten. Responsiveness in email was always good. Caitlin was easy to work with. Ultimately...better supervision during setup could have helped.

    I was promptly contacted by Festivities after the review was posted to discuss my concerns. I appreciate the follow up

    Festivities provided us with many beautiful rental items to transform our dull reception site into an elegant space! They have a wide variety of items to choose from, and the staff will take the time to meet with you to discuss the style you are aiming for! We were very pleased with how our room looked that night. It was breathtaking!

    They were able to get me what I wanted just 3 weeks before the wedding, unlike other linen companies in the twin cities. They also price match!

    We used Festivities for rental linens for our wedding. Festivities was absolutely great to work with in all respects (price, responsiveness, and selection)....until our wedding day. Part of our order was delivered late, some of the items we ordered never arrived, and a couple incorrect items arrived. When you spend so much time (and money) planning your wedding, and verify the order the week-of, you expect it to be correct. Festivities did refund us for the missing and incorrect items, which we appreciated, but the experience did not boost our confidence in their services.

    Festivities provided the rental decor for our venue, as well as my flowers.

    They have just about everything available for you to rent. We were able to get supplies for a Rehearsal Dinner - BBQ at our house, flowers to decorate at the ceremony, and our centerpieces and table coverings at our venue. We went to see them, not really having any idea about what we wanted - but were able to talk to our consultant, tell her about what we envisioned, and she was able to translate that into a beautiful setting.

    In the end, everything looked beautiful - thank you Festivities!

    Overall I am happy with our experience working with Festivities. They provided our flowers and linens. I worked with 4 different people over the course of our selection, quoting and order process and it was sometimes frustrating to not know who to turn to with questions. With that said, the staff is friendly, accommodating and worked with me to stay within our budget. Ask to work with Ellie if you can!

    I LOVED our linens and our reception was gorgeous. I also really loved the bridesmaid bouquets - they were exactly what I wanted.

    I was a bit disappointed with my bouquet. We had all white flowers but my bouquet had a bit of a light yellow tint - this was not noticeable to anyone else and the color discrepancy iis probably more my fault than theirs. I asked for white garden roses. Instead, I should have probably asked their recommendation on a flower that would look bright white, but being my first time ordering bouquets I just didn't know to pay attention to that. Overall I am satisfied with our experience but thought the delivery and installation charges were a bit steep. Those fees made up at least 40% of our contract. I am not sure whether this is typical or not.

    I would recommend them for linens but if I had to do it all over again I would probably look elsewhere for flowers. With that said, I know almost nothing about flowers so take that recommendation with a grain of salt. :)

    Festivities did a great job with the florals for our wedding, however it would have been nice to have contact with them the day of - to explain/show what flowers were for who as they were not marked.

    I rented tablecloths, chair covers, and sashes from Festivities for my wedding reception. The initial consultation with Rachel was great - she gave design suggestions and set up a sample table so we could envision how the rental pieces would come together. I was really excited to work with Festivities after that first meeting. But from there it went downhill. I requested that the flowers and centerpiece rentals be removed from the first draft of the contract (we decided to use a separate vendor for those), and from then on I had a hard time getting responses when I wanted to sign the contract, make my final payment, and make small adjustments to what we had reserved (including making additions to the rentals). I had to contact Festivities' main email a couple of times because I wasn't getting responses from Rachel.

    The contract got held up by us trying to set a delivery time with the reception venue, and during that time period (about 2 weeks), some of the linens I had wanted were reserved by other people. Festivities had been clear with me that this might happen, but I wish they would have given me the option of signing the contract right away and filling in that detail later. It was frustrating to be told that the items I wanted were no longer available.

    Out of all of the vendors I worked with, Festivities gave me the most anxiety. In the end I was pleased with how the linens turned out, but if you are considering working with them, I would suggest having a consultation with at least one other vendor to be sure.

    The final product (flowers) looked great very happy with the outcome; however, the communication with our sale assistant was horrible, she never returned our phone calls or took weeks to reply simple questions emails. The communication tree was completely broken with this lady. The flowers and the party supplies were at the venue on time the day of our wedding but we never got an update of how everything was going was made us uneasy. We would recommend the vendor but not the same sales person

    I wish I had a better experience with festivities. Our centerpieces were extremely underwhelming and honestly, I was embarrassed. For the amount of money we spent, they should have been way more impressive.

    I am so disappointed with Festivities. We rented our tables and chairs from them for our wedding, and also threw in four space heaters at the last minute. The set up time for the event was very tight - because the event space was a public museum. They arrived almost an hour and a half late because their truck broke down. They told our planner that they were going to be 30 minutes late and then failed to provide any other updates, and just showed up almost 90 minutes late...and they didn't bring the space heaters until someone made them go back and get them (oh...and one didn't even work!).

    When they got there, everyone went into a tizzy to get things done in time. Our dinner ended up being served thirty minutes late because the set up couldn't get done on time. We weren't able to start our dancing on time and as a result we didn't get the band's full set in before the venue closed.

    When I spoke to the event staff after the fact they said that everyone had done their best. If they had even admitted how much they had messed up then maybe I wouldn't feel so bad, but they don't even have the courtesy to say when they are in the wrong.

    If this is their best, please try somewhere else for your own piece of mind on your event day. Their prices are competitive, but Ultimate is similar and it's worth paying more to make sure you get what you need WHEN you need it.
