At FIVE, customer service is the most important aspect of your experience there. From the moment you walk in the door, to when you sit down with one of their fantastic event managers you will be treated as a person, not as just another event. Their goal is to make your wedding unique and special and won't use high pressure sales tactics to make you book. Just a good old fashioned smile.

Their flexibility is one of their greatest strengths as well. They don't have strict rules about which venders you bring in to their marvelous venue. From Caterer's to DJ's, all are welcome at FIVE to showcase their craft and make your "dream" wedding day a reality.

Looking for a great place to have your reception? Prestwick Golf Course!

Traci Meyer has been an absolute joy to work with over the years and we know that you will be in good hands at their magnificent facility. Want to learn more? Here is a little more information about Prestwick golf club and why it is the perfect place for your wedding reception.

Classic Elegance for Your Perfect Wedding

Our beautiful 250 seat ballroom provides classic elegance that can be found only at Prestwick Golf Club in the prestigious Wedgewood Community of Woodbury. We have designed the room to illuminate with the natural light from outside by day while crystal chandeliers and beautiful wall sconces add soft ambiance for evening events. The wrought iron and stone terrace provides a great place for guests to enjoy lush views of the 18th green & fairway.

In addition, we offer a private retreat for the bride and her bridesmaids in our Bridal Suite on our lower level. Full service décor is available for any type of event whether it be more casual and traditional or upscale and elegant. Fresh florals, ceiling swagging, guest table centerpieces, theme decor and more are just a few of the things that set us apart from other facilities in the area.

All food & beverage is provided by Axel’s at Prestwick. We offer a wide range of classic and fine cuisine, but can also customize any type of menu for your special event or needs. We offer sit down dinners, buffet dinners, food stations, butler passed and buffet appetizers, chocolate fountains and more.

New to our facility is the recent addition of The Jillian Room on our lower level. This beautiful new banquet/meeting space was designed to be a miniature version of the main ballroom upstairs and will accommodate groups of 30 – 80. The room includes a full bar and built in dance floor so it is perfect for a holiday party, anniversary or even large business meeting.

More Premium Trasportation!

Renee's Royal Valet is the ultimate limousine experience. Ride in style on your wedding day with this elite transportation option!

Renee's Royal Valet Limousine Service has been providing luxury limousine transportation for the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul since 1992. They pride themselves on providing impeccable limo service with attention to detail for every special occasion.

Renee's Royal Valet would also like you to keep in mind the 10 Most Common Errors:

1. Reserve Early

~Certain months and weekends are in higher demand and require longer minimum rentals

2. Understand the Reservation Policy

~The Majority of limousine companies have a minimum number of hours when making your reservation. We encourage you to consider extending your reservation in advance, since we cannot guarantee that the vehicle can be available to you beyond the reserved time. The standard industry practice is a non-refundable deposit to put toward your reservation for your limousine and the balance due the week of the wedding.

3. Method of Payment

~Do they accept credit cards? If not, they may be only a part-time company

4. Know What You Are Getting

~It is your wedding, be specific regarding your objectives. Quality limousine operators can make suggestions, but you should always make the final decisions. Ask what the standard uniform attire is for their chauffeurs. At Renee’s Royal Valet, our chauffeurs are dressed in tuxedos and must maintain a professional, courteous demeanor at all times.

5. Ask If the Company Is a Member of Their Local Association

~Minnesota Chauffeured Transportation Association, (MCTA) and National Limousine Association (NLA). You can feel safe to know they are properly licensed and insured.

6. Ask About Insurance and Licensing

~Limousine Companies are required to carry "livery vehicle" commercial insurance and registered with MN Motor Carrier. The chauffeurs meet all state driving requirements and back ground checks.

7. The Cheapest Is Not Always the Best

~According to the National Limousine Association, the inexpensive option is by all means not always the most reliable and efficient

8. Ask What Comes Included

~In the Wedding Package Red Carpet, “Just Married” Sign, Glasses, Ice and Non- Alcoholic Champagne are included in our Royal Package. You may drink alcohol in a limousine, but by Minnesota State Law, Limousines Companies are not permitted to provide alcoholic beverages

9. Request to See One of the Company's Vehicles

~You do not what to be surprised on your wedding day by an older stretch limousine when you are expecting a newer model.

10. Ask For a Signed & Valid Rental Service Contract

~ First class limousine operators will provide you with a written agreement assuring you that you are securing the exact service and limousine you requested. This will ensure no surprises on your Wedding Day

I looked outside the window today and noticed the white, soft, fluffy flakes fluttering down from the heavens. Snow has arived and all out winter will be upon us before we know it. But before you pass over the winter months when setting that special date, keep in mind that winter can also be a great time to tie the knot! What is more romantic than a peaceful blanket of fresh powder?

Here's a video of a couple that found a way to really embrace the snow for their big day.

Enjoy and stay creative!
