Dear Rush's
Wow! I have been in Rush's twice in the last month and been amazed by Katrice, one of your employees. I've shopped at many bridal shops in the last 6 months and the customer service Katrice has shown me is far better than any other I've seen. Please thank her for being an outstanding employee. She was far more helpful to me than the person I was matched with when I was in last week. The person helping me seemed to keep disappearing and Katrice was ready to help me find whatever I was looking for! She is friendly and doesn't seem frustrated like so many other bridal shop employees when asked for help. You're got a fabulous employee working for you at Rush's.
Thanks - A grateful customer

I LOVE Queen of Cakes! I was a very particular bride when I was planning my wedding two years ago, and Queen of Cakes was up the task! They created a beautiful, delicious cake that was exactly what I wanted. Their prices were the best from the numerous bakeries I had tastings with, too. My husband and I were so pleased with their quality and service that we can't go anywhere else! Thanks to Terri and her staff for their unforgettable cakes!
Pros: Beautiful, delicious cakes at great prices!
Cons: What are the drawbacks?

The Sofitel Minneapolis is a very nice hotel geared towards business travelers and conferences. It is actually in Bloomington, MN, which is a near suburb of Minneapolis and I was recently there for a work conference. The thing I love the most at this Sofitel is their beds. They are soft and luxurious and you can just wrap yourself in the wonderful duvet and never want to come out again! All of the staff was very friendly and helpful. The room service was quick and the food hot. The conference services were also good - the food was enjoyable. The fitness room was well-equipped with free weights, weight machines and four pieces of cardio equipment. Everything about the hotel has a French/European flair to it. I believe that this Sofitel was recently renovated, the only hints of the age of the building was a very faint moldy smell in some places. It is a little pricey at almost $200/night, but if work pays for it, I'll not need too much convincing to stay there again! ;)

I first went here with my daughter and we had a wonderful time.
This is a small ceramics studio where you can paint an item of you choice right there in the studio. Items they have to select from are: small/large plates, cups,large and small bowls, picture frames, decorative boxes/dishes and much more.
You only pay for the item you buy - prices start at $8 and can rise considerably depending on how big of a piece you select. Me and my daughter chose a cup and a plate and spent under $20.
There are many styles/colors of glazes to choose from as well as brushes of all sizes and other tools to create paint effects on your masterpiece.
They have actual tiles that have been fired of all the glaze colors, so you can get an idea of what the colors will look like (the paint looks very different fired than it does fresh from the bottle.)
You can take as long as you like to make your creation. When your done, you need put your name on the back of the item and will have to come back in a day or so to pick it up. If your driving a distance to get here, this can be a bother.
I really appreciate the help that we received from the staff on techniques using the paint/tools, it was very helpful. They also have examples of items that are finished out in the open and in books, so you can get more creative ideas of what you would like to create.
This is something that you can do alone, with a friend or with a group. They had a birthday party group of 6 girls while were there - they were having a blast!

We moved a bit over a week ago and are very happy with this company.
All the other places we called were either booked or ridiculously priced or had some evil "policy" about not renting a whole day to one person .....[cough cough uhaul.....].
When we called here we got a real person on the phone fast who was knowledgeble and friendly. They had great prices and easy to work with. The truck was serviceable and milage price nice. I was very happy with being able to have it a whole day from 7am to 7am the next. It made moving much easier and more relaxed.
5 stars!

Camelot Weddings has a variety of talented photographers to choose from. When you visit their location, you can sit down in one of their comfortable leather couches and thumb through book after book of portfolios. They started in film, which is still available, but now primarily work in digital format, so they can give you hundreds of shots to choose from. The best thing about Camelot though is their photojournalistic style of capturing the moments as they happen. They are not in-your-face photographers that make you pose in ways you are not comfortable... they are just there to highlight the special images of your big day.

If you are looking for a custom made dress you should see Kristen Olsen, the owner of this cute little shop. She is a joy to work with. She was so helpful in finding the right style for my wedding dress. Her office has so many pretty fabrics and embellishments to choose from. She is reasonably priced too.

More
When I got married last year, I was on the hunt for the perfect bridesmaid gowns. I knew I wanted the colors pink and black and could not find what I wanted anywhere. When I went to the Wedding Chapel for the first time, they helped guide me through the store and find exactly what I needed. I didn't even have an appointment and they were so helpful!
They had many gowns to choose from. Most of them had a choice in color as well. This way, I was able to customize the gown with the two colors I wanted.
When we went back for ordering, I had all my bridesmaids with me and we did make an appointment this time (it was a Saturday morning). The store was busy but we were greeted by our consultant right away and she got everyone fitted and ordered in a timely manner.
The dresses took a couple months to come in. I was not disappointed when I saw them! I was a little worried because the pink I chose was kind of bright but it look beautiful all the same. They also do alterations at the store but you do not have to use them. Besides bridesmaids gowns, they also sell bridal gowns, rent tuxes, and have all the accessories you would need on your wedding day---shoes, purses, veils, tiaras, guest books, candles, etc.

I stopped by this store to look for undergarments for my bridal gown. The store is very small and packed with merchandise. I inquired about the undergarment after being ignored by the sales staff (there wasn't anyone else in there). They informed me that they would have to order the undergarment and I having been turned off by their customer service opted to go elsewhere. Perhaps it was just a one off but I will say that the store had a lot of inventory so it still may be worth checking out, although I didn't get a good look at any of the designers that they carried.
