3rd Annual "Get Your Jingle On" - Client Appreciation Event

We're just coming down from the high of an AMAZING event that we were privileged to host last week. You may remember our Client Appreciation Event that we were thrilled to share from last year; well, we were at it again!

Last week, Woolley's, along with our sister restaurant Chez Daniel as well as the Embassy Suites Bloomington and Embassy Suites Minneapolis Airport, was privileged to host so many of our wonderful clients and their associates right here on property.

A great way to not only thank all of our current clients for their patronage, but we also got to showcase new trends (and our capabilities) in the meeting, events, and catering arenas. Last year's event was held at Chez Daniel, but this year we got to welcome everyone to our home turf as we took them on a trip "around the world"!

Each and every guest was presented with a passport that allowed them to "travel around the globe", as they visited different meeting spaces, each uniquely themed for the event. We even incorporated our food truck, Craft Mobile Kitchen, into the fun! Guests were rewarded with delicious, expertly prepared cuisine and activities/entertainment that matched the "location" of each area.

We're so thankful that Andrews Photography captured the whole event for us. To review the full gallery, we invite you to CLICK HERE.

Thank you also to all of our wonderful clients who were able to participate, the Craft Catering/Craft Mobile Kitchen crew, our Embassy Weddings team (and the rest of our Catering and Sales managers), as well as all of our super awesome vendor partners.

What a great event! We just can't wait until next year.
