Above and Beyond

I was very impressed with Mintahoe and highly recommend them! Erin did such an amazing job doubling as our Day of Coordinator for our wedding on August 15th at Leopold's Mississippi Gardens - it turned out even better than I imagined! She is very organized and detail-oriented, which made it super easy/stress-free to plan a wedding while out of state (even during COVID). She was so responsive and flexible during the pandemic - she kept us updated on the changing requirements and the corresponding adjustments they were making to allow us to celebrate safely. The food was amazing and the staff was so friendly - our guests commented on how impressed they were. Erin went above and beyond to ensure our day went perfectly - she always set up time for us to come on-site and talk through things/see things in person whenever we were in town visiting. She even set up a private tasting for us at Leopold's to try out a few dessert options we were debating between. We couldn't have pulled off our wedding without her - she took care of all the little details and kept everything moving smoothly, all while maintaining a positive/energetic attitude that was contagious. Couldn't be happier with our day!

Mintahoe Catering & Events at Solar Arts

We had a great experience working with Mintahoe Catering & Events for our wedding! One of their venues we initially wanted to look at was going to be way out of our budget, Mintahoe offered other options within our budget and we ended up going with and loving the Solar Arts building in NE Minneapolis. It was such a great space! Mintahoe was helpful, responsive, professional, and fun to work with throughout the entire process. I loved having a venue/catering company that included everything (food, bar service, tableware etc). It made the planning process so much easier. We got lots of compliments on the food and everyone loved our bartender and the staff!

Overall good experience for having to use a company exclusively contracted by our venue.

I will start my review by saying I had to choose Mintahoe because they are contracted by the venue I chose - the Van Dusen Mansion.

Morgan was absolutely wonderful to work with, nothing but great things to say about her - very responsive, friendly, understanding, accommodating.

We had to have the champagne and beer ordered ahead of time for the bridal suite and club room while getting ready - you can’t bring any of your own alcohol at any time during the day (this wasn’t an issue, however it’s just more expensive to have to buy theirs).

I was happy with the food, I didn’t receive any complaints from my guests about this. The sea bass was the meal I ordered and it they cooked this perfectly (very easy to overdo this dish).
The wine during dinner could’ve been better, however I do enjoy more expensive wines so I wasn’t expecting top tier wines to be served anyway.
I can’t comment on the bartending portion of their service myself because I was too busy (I’m the bride) during the day and I barely had anything to drink and never visited the bar.
Several of guests reported a few things about the bar tenders for the evening that they thought was worth mentioning to me after the wedding, however I did not experience it myself so I can’t comment on that.
Unsure if the late night pizza was good or not - I didn’t get to try it, but we had that option for our guests.
The desert table looked great! I also was clearly too busy to try this, but the venue attendants were nice enough to pack up the extra deserts and send that home with me at the end of the night! (I had the tres leches tulip cups for breakfast the following morning and they were delightful!)

They are an expensive company, they had price changes which is understandable, but were accommodating for the extra things I wanted (signatures drinks, imported Ting, outsourced cake, champagne wall). Budget wasn’t an issue for us, but had it been, I may have had to chose another company/venue.

We had 4 entrees, 4 butler passed hors d’oeuvres, table side wine pours during dinner service, 2 signature drinks & imported NA soda, 3 desert options, late night pizza, a champagne wall, and we selected the complete premium bar package. I would say all of went smoothly from what I heard - I just wish I would’ve had time/been able to experience/try all the things we paid for! The chef/team made sure we had a plate of hors d’oeuvres at our sweetheart table for dinner so we could try them, which I was pleasantly surprised by when I sat down!
The signature drink of mine (espresso martini) apparently was a huge hit - I wish I would’ve ordered more to start (I had no idea 50 of them would be finished during the cocktail hour alone!).

Overall a great experience for a company that I didn’t have an option to choose from due to a venue I signed a contract with.
