Cold Feet? Not With These Beauties!

Wedding Footsies!
Today we will be talking about a rising trend we have seen at the Garden Room regarding feet!~ 

Have you noticed that while women are keeping the traditional outfits at the wedding consistent ( the white gown, the tuxes, the matching or close to matching outfits in the bridal party) they are starting to jazz up the one thing that has had less of a traditional attachment... their feet!

As we have seen with women, there is a stigma around shoes and shoe shopping! Most of the time there probably is, but when it comes to your big day its not about $$$ or diamonds or the size of your heel or what compliments you think you will get- its about your idea of a perfect shoe for you!    

Keeping it fun with creative looking heels

Some women have chosen to go with the traditional heels, but instead of keeping them neutral or matchy-matchy with the outfits some women have found ways to spice out their outfit with more interesting color choices of heels.

Check out these black heels! They really do add a certain kick to the outfits don't they?! 

Adding Some Personality

Some women look at the shoes as a way to add some personality to the wedding! Women have worn styles ranging from rain boots to cowboy boots to no shoes at all! 

These women have chosen rain boots that each match the individual's personality! Isn't that awesome!?!

We had another bride at the Garden Room who wore these relaxing, cute toms! Talk about a night of easy dancing on your feet! 

Keeping it traditional

While some women use the shoes as an opportunity to spice up their style and show their personality, others see them as a time to give their feet a luxury ride for a night! 

Some women choose to keep the white wedding shoes and feel like Cinderella on their magical evening of bliss. They want a glass slipper and luckily for these princesses... the night doesn't end at midnight!

No matter what the shoe- these brides have all chosen the perfect fit for them!

You may have heard of the Garden Room through the grapevine, but we will tell straight from the source who we are! We love new guests and we love it even more when our guests tell others about us! So read on and share what you learn about our venue with your friends. 
What is the Garden Room?

Our Garden Room is known as the 'best kept secret' of the Twin Cities. We are an indoor event venue that is located on 8080 Mitchell Road in Eden Prairie, MN.

What Is Our Catering Service?

Gharwal Food Group, previously known as Sky Food Catering, is a catering company that serves guests at every event at the Garden Room. It recently is looking to branch out and cater to any other event outside of the Garden Room in and near the Twin Cities.

What does the Garden Room look like?


A picture is worth a thousand words. 


The Garden Room's amenities include:accommodating  up to 300 guests for a sit-down event or 400 for a cocktail/social reception, our catering services, a full service cash bar, a large dance floor area, draped ceilings, patio area to use, a wall of windows for natural lighting, Purgatory park close by (great place for photos), a room for the bride/bridesmaids to get ready, bathrooms, an area where catering takes place (however, many brides like to drape over it and keep catering in the kitchen), a very quaint and open walkway to the Garden Room, and an outside walking path. 

Inside there is foliage that adds to the room's majestic qualities.  Just outside our wall of windows,  you'll find a view that boasts Minnesota's beautiful wildlife and natural beauty in every season. 


What is the Garden Room staff like?



Our staff is top of the line. Cindy Walker, the event coordinator, will be there for you every step of the way and is very passionate about making each event special, perfect, and unique to the clients' needs. She is very good at what she does and gains very close relationships with each client to make sure they are comfortable and happy throughout the whole event planning process. 


Garden Room Recommendations:

Cindy ~
I wanted to write a testimonial about the great experience I received from you and the stuff at the Garden room during our wedding!You were awesome and you really made our day a very special one. We still talk about the Garden room and what an angel you were to us. And oh my goodness the food, we still dream about it :) We keep saying we should have asked you to wrap some for my husband and I to take to our hotel room :) lol since we couldn't eat much during the ceremony. But we still get great great compliments about the food, venue and service. 


~We had a fantastic wedding at the Garden Room in October 2011. We chose the Garden Room because we wanted to have our ceremony and reception at the same location. We loved the Garden Room itself with its wall of windows and interesting floor plan. We also really liked the atrium space for the social hour between the ceremony and reception as the room was changed over.

The best part of having our wedding at the Garden Room was the wonderful staff there. Everyone there was an absolute pleasure to work with, from kitchen staff to wait staff to bartenders to set-up and take-down crews. And of course we couldn't have had such a lovely wedding without the help of Cindy Walker, the coordinator of the Garden Room. She had so many good ideas and a can-do attitude. We felt so comfortable with Cindy in charge--we just knew every detail would be taken care of.

Our guests gave rave reviews to the Garden Room as well, especially for the food. They loved the angel chicken and walleye. They also liked being able to step outside onto the patio area that is connected to the Garden Room.

We had an unbelievably beautiful wedding and we are so grateful to the staff at the Garden Room for making it so!
