I can’t stress enough how easy planning was. It was extremely nice to have the majority of things at Profile and didn’t need to contact outside vendors. Also, prices were very affordable compared to other venues in the area. Highly recommend Profile especially for smaller weddings and easy planning!

I don’t quite honestly know how to put it other than to say everything about Profile Event Center was absolutely perfect. I truly can’t imagine having our reception anywhere else and will continue to recommend this venue for the rest of my life...
. Our guests continually talk about how fun, beautiful, and unique our reception was and we have the Profile to thank for that. Sara, our coordinator, was unbelievable. She responded to all my ridiculous questions leading up to the day in record time, kept us on our timeline without being pushy, made sure that myself, my husband, and really much of my bridal party never lifted a finger, and checked in frequently to make sure that my husband and I were doing well and having the best day of our lives. I am a pretty controlling person but I felt extremely comfortable leaving the most important day of my life in Sara’s capable hands. When I forgot my veil at the Profile before the ceremony, Sara was even ready to coordinate someone to bring it out to me! It was too late but the fact that they were willing to try meant so much to me. Also, Profile took care of EVERYTHING for us including catering, bar, desserts, floral, decorations, and DJ. We opted to do a buffet for approximately 170 people and it went so smooth. Not only did everyone get their food quickly but people are still raving about everything- a month later! The food was hot, delicious, and tasted just as it had for our tasting. I didn’t hear a single complaint from any guests and I know a few people even went for seconds- even though the portions were huge! Following dinner we had a small wedding cake with strawberry shortcake, lemon, bailey’s chocolate, and dulce de leche mini cupcakes. We ordered over 500 cupcakes and came home with maybe 40 of them and the cake was completely gone.. Everything was delicious! Our floral was absolutely stunning as was the decorations. It was so nice to not have to worry about set-up and take down and everything was so reasonably priced. We couldn’t have DIY’d it cheaper. Also, the DJ was great too! He kept the dance floor going all night and had no problem with last minute requests. It’s true that no one cares as much about your wedding as you do. With that being said, everyone at the Profile Event Center made me feel like they cared just as much as I did, especially Sara.

nter pieces were wrong, they offered to change them out but the flowers were already cut to fit in the wrong ones. The bathrooms in the other event room broke and we agreed to let the guests be escorted to our bathrooms by security. That did not happen people just walked in at will. They had the wrong couples name displayed on the wall and floor. It was a fight to have them change it. Food was not served to all guests properly. A guest book for the photo booth was paid for then not provided without another argument. Found out after the wedding that the manager was aware of the issues from the start but never reached out to help. He could have made sure things went smoothly but failed to. Then we had to fight to get a refund for the unserved cake and the price difference for centerpieces. Sad that a couple pays for all inclusive and gets such bad service.

Whenever we had a question, she was available to answer and she even helped address items we had not considered. Never once did we feel pressured into buying more than what we wanted, as long as we met the minimum. Profile was an easy choice because of its competitive pricing and "one stop shop" feel. The food is tasty and you can customize your own menu. Having hosted wine and beer but liquor for purchase by the guests was a great treat. The photo booth was a hit and the florist made great arrangements for the church. Because of all the offered services, you can really style your wedding any way you want. We were very happy with our choice.

o booth, flowers, DJ, and décor all count towards the hall minimum – no hidden costs and, not to mention, the cheapest prices I found in the cities. In addition, it takes the stress off planning when you can easily add on these services AND they count towards the hall minimum. All of this made it extremely affordable. With the ceiling drapery and intelligent customized lighting, the only décor I needed was centerpieces and hallway candles – another bonus! Originally I had worried the hall would be too small. We had 180 guests at round tables and everyone fit perfectly (I don’t suggest any more than that, though). Michaela, our Event Coordinator, was awesome to work with! She was very responsive, organized and accommodating. She put me at ease and made sure everything ran smoothly on our night! From the lighting, décor, amazing food (guests still rave about it!), and great music – it was the perfect day! I DEFINITELY recommend the Profile Event Center!!

We didn’t have the stress of talking to a bunch of vendors at once. Profile handled it all and coordinated the entire evening which went off without a hitch and was an amazing day in our lives that we will always be able to look back on. We knew from the second we walked in that it would be a great place to have the reception, but surprisingly due to the travel we also had the ceremony there and it was beautiful too. The lighting and arches and flowers really helped to transform the room. I highly recommend it to any couple, but especially if you are in planning from out of state as we were. We were able to have most of our meetings virtually (after visiting in person), and lucked out in being able to have the rehearsal there as there were no weddings the day before!

Heather was able to make my flower vision a reality. Leading up to the reception I wasn’t concerned about everything as I knew the profile team could handle it. We had around 200 guests and the space was perfect. Throughout the evening everyone complemented the location, food, service, environment, really everything. Even several weeks after we are having our guests reach out to us and tell us how wonderful everything was. Thank you profile for helping make our wedding so perfect.

r places that don't always include food, decor, DJ, photobooth, etc. in the cost. It's much easier to have the venue help with most parts of the reception rather than having to coordinate with outside vendors. We only had to book our own photographer and we created our own decor. The only downside would be that you have to use their caterer and the chef can cook only what he's familiar with. We had a list of recipes for him to try and make since we like more Asian dishes. But it didn't work out and we ended up having to do mostly American dishes. The food was okay. Our DJ Keagen was also good. Just little hiccups here and there (e.g., slideshow video almost played again after it was over, a few "do not play" songs playing, fog machine broken).

Ashley and Patrick made my wedding perfect, from special requests to switching tables around the morning of because I forgot to email the final layout the night before. Absolutely everything was perfect. I even got a bit of a bonus with them because I got to have my wedding after they did a bunch of remodeling in the Casablanca Hall, which made it even more beautiful.

They have two rooms to get ready in. One has a tri-fold floor length mirror and a long vanity to get ready at. The second room is smaller and has a television and Wii in it. They both have couches and other seating in them.The hall has 3 levels in it which gives it a really cool open feeling. The option to have an open bar at a great price here is really nice, you pay a flat rate per person as opposed to per drink. The bartenders were awesome. They were very friendly and knowledgable. The DJ (Matt) was really good. He played all the songs I wanted and was able to get the songs that he didn't already have. We chose to have a chocolate fountain instead of the traditional cake - this was a HUGE hit! The not so good: Parking here can be tough, especially on a Gopher game day. Our wedding was at 7pm, we got there at 10am to set up and were surprised to see that they sell spots in their already very small parking lot to people going to the game. We were allowed to place cones on four parking spots to reserve them. The profile event center has two halls, but also houses numerous band practice studios. Through out the day and night, random people would just be walking around. They also use the same restrooms as guests and wedding party. At one point we could smell weed coming from the area where they practice. The restrooms for the Diamond Hall could use a refresh. We had and hors d'oeuvres only cocktail reception. The food was great, but our guests had commented that their tables were often missed or that the food was cold when it reached them. Overview - We would definitely recommend the Profile Event Center to anyone who is planning a wedding and doesn't want the typical ballroom or church setting. We had tons of comments on how beautiful the hall was and everyone was very kind and helpful.

g less from us. I apologize for the issues raised in your review. Regarding charging for game day parking, we never charge our guests for parking and have an abundance of complimentary parking spaces in our lot and in the huge ancillary lot located directly across the street from our main entrance. The Gopher game in question was an 11 a.m. start, ending at 2:30 p.m. The reception reviewed began at 6:30 p.m. We reserved ample spaces for rehearsal and setup. Parking should not have been an issue (as is the case with all of our events). Regarding our entertainment business, we are the premier facility in our region for recording, rehearsal, and production space. A sampling of our past clients include Carrie Underwood, Jason Mraz, Carlos Santana, The Time, Five for Fighting, Wyclef Jean, Cirque Du Soleil, Jennifer Hudson's Band, Sara Bareilles, Owl City, Jonny Lang, and auditions for the NBC television show The Voice. We utilize our experience in the entertainment world to produce the best possible wedding receptions. Band members have a private restroom which they are required to exclusively use during receptions. All rental agreements prohibit any type of smoking with a violation resulting in immediate eviction. We have hundreds of testimonials regarding our business with this never being an issue. With the help of your constructive review, we will proactively ensure that our studio business does not interfere with another couples' perfect reception. Thank you again so much for sharing your special day with us, providing helpful feedback, and for recommending us to engaged couples.

The staff is amazing, I basically felt like I had paid for a wedding coordinator because the profile staff is so helpful and informative. My wedding was in May 2014 and guests are still talking about how great the food/cupcakes were and how great the venue was. Not to mention the free parking and hotel across the street so my out of town guests could walk to the reception.

hat this venue needs to work on the communication between the staff memebers. To start with during the process they hired a new pastry chef and did not tell me. When I contacted the pastry chef she had lost my order from the previous pastry chef. This was about 2 weeks before my wedding. Not only did she loose the order but she didn't reply back to my email until I called and complained about it. I tried giving the pastry chef the benefit of the doubt however, on my wedding day the miscommunication did not end there. I order 4 different cupcake flavors and only got 3 different ones. I also was told that all my cupcakes would be displayed around my small 3 tiered cake I ordered but that was not the case. After asking about 5 times where my cupcakes where I had to get upset before I actually got an answer. I was told that they were waiting for me to cut the cake. I wanted the picture of all of it. Needless to say I did not get that picture. They made me cut the cake first. After cutting the cake it took over 40 minutes for the servers to bring my cupcakes out and serve the tiered cake to the wedding party. I was very upset. I also noticed that the frosting on the cupcakes was still partially frozen. This did not look bad on the venue because I had people asking if I even ordered more than the small 25 serving cake. Also people left early complaining about not being able to have their dessert. The miscommmunication did not end there either. I emailed about my disatisfaction they said they would refund me the money for the cupcakes and that I could contact anyone in the office for this. They ended up refunding me $100 less than originally promised. I would say that it was a good experience just make sure you watch what is going on and keep up on communication!!

What an incredible experience my husband and I had at Profile Event Center. We got married last weekend and couldn't have been more happy with the experience. Our reception was held at Profile Event Center, and it wasn't simply the date of our ...
wedding that was such a great experience. From the moment we made our first payment securing the date of our wedding to the last song of the night -our wedding coordinator (Michaela - incredible!), the food, DJ Kyle, the centerpieces, the cake, the set up, everything was more than we could have asked for! What sets Profile Event Center apart from other venues is the all inclusive set up, along with the most personable and incredible staff. Everything was handled for my fiance and I throughout the process. We didn't have to worry about setting anything up on the day of the wedding, or taking anything down... we didn't have to worry about coordinating for caterers, flowers, a DJ, centerpieces, etc. it was all in-house! My husband and I could go on and on about how great of an experience we had and would recommend this venue to anyone preparing for their big day!

My husband and I had an amazing wedding here! We were told by guests it was the "best wedding" they'd ever been to. The atmosphere was such a fun and inviting place, and we really enjoyed how the PEC worked with us on any details we wanted. Our...
guests said the food blew them away. We had the buffet with Walleye and Steak. The Walleye was to die for! We had a mustache & lips themed wedding, and the baker was able to decorate our cupcakes half with mustaches and half with lips, and our cake had them all over. It was perfect! The DJ followed our playlist to a T and played great music during dinner. Sari was really great at her job and helping me with any questions or details I had. I also loved that they just got a Photobooth, and we didn't have to pay for it to be there! Guests could decided if they wanted to spend the $3/strip or not. And many of them did! Highly recommend getting married here! SUPER AFFORDABLE too!!!

a and her team provided an elegant and inviting feel for our dinner and a spectacular and exciting one for our dance portion of the evening. They worked so well with all of our other vendors and helped us so much with critical decisions, planning and preparations. And always with the utmost professionalism and cheery demeanor. My husband and I only wish we had another event planned in the near future that we could hold here so we could experience it all again. We absolutely recommend the Profile Event Center to anyone scoping out a venue!!
