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.

Steak & Date Night

We can't believe that it's almost time for back to school with all of the shopping, organizing, schedules, getting the kids to bed earlier (wishful thinking, right?), and everything else it brings. This year, why not take advantage of the last few days of summer and plan a Steak & Date Night (that includes a trip to the MOA and an overnight) with your special someone.

Since Woolley's is located within the Embassy Suites Minneapolis - Airport, it's the perfect way to shop, dine, and stay. With our close proximity to the Mall of America (and not to mention FREE shuttle for hotel guests), you can spend the afternoon browsing (or indulging your inner child and going on rides at Nickelodeon Universe). Then, swing back to the hotel to drop off your purchases and relax poolside until dinner.

Before dinner, enjoy snacks and complimentary beverages during our nightly Managers' Reception in the atrium, available to all hotel guests. Then, sit down for the perfect ending to a great day, a relaxing meal at Woolley's. Peruse our award winning wine list and see why Chef Peter is a celebrity in his own right.

After dinner, don't worry about making the trek home, retire to your suite and get a good night's rest. Breakfast in the morning is on the house and cooked to order to boot! You'll love watching our chefs prepare your omelet to your exacting specifications. After a great day and a great stay, you'll be ready to greet the new day (and the new school year).

Off-Site Catering at Our Client Appreciation Event

Guess what? I know we've mentioned it before, but we felt it was worth saying again: Here at Woolley's, we are both happy and able to do off-site catering! For weddings, graduations, corporate events, reunions, and any other reason you could dream of needing a caterer, Woolley's is your go-to source. We have a truck, a catering truck, mind you, and we're not afraid to use it.

Earlier this month, we participated in a fantastic Client Appreciation Event with our sister restaurant Chez Daniel as well as the lovely Embassy Suites Bloomington and Embassy Suites Minneapolis Airport. Not only did we get a chance to thank all of our current clients for their patronage, but we also got to showcase new trends and all of our capabilities in the meeting, events, and catering arena. While the event was held at Chez Daniel, we got to get out the truck (can you tell how much we love that thing?!), and send Chef Peter on over to do an off-site, outdoor catering demonstration.

Here in the biz, we like to call 'em "cater-outs". Below are some pictures we got of our catering demonstration as part of the event. Pig Roast, Corn on the Cob Display, Specialty Linens, Chairs, and Tents from Midway Party Rental, Cocktails in Mason Jars, and yes, of course, our truck.

  

   

  

   

Even if it's not on-site, we'd love to be a part of your next event! And don't worry, weather is not a deterrent, just check out our photos from our rainy cater-out earlier this summer. 

For more information or to book a cater-out, please contact Woolley's today at 952.854.1010. We can't wait to hear from you!

Back to School Shopping - Make a Date of It!

We can't believe that it's almost time for back to school with the shopping, organizing, schedules, getting the kids to bed earlier (wishful thinking, right?), and everything else it brings. This year, why not make a date of the whole back to school ritual?


Since Woolley's is located within the Embassy Suites Minneapolis - Airport, it's the perfect way to shop, dine, and stay. With our close proximity to the Mall of America (and not to mention FREE shuttle for hotel guests), you can spend the afternoon stocking up on clothes, shoes, and other back to school essentials. Then, swing back to the hotel to drop off your purchases and relax poolside until dinner.

Before dinner, enjoy snacks and complimentary beverages during our nightly Managers' Reception in the atrium, available to all hotel guests. Then, enjoy the perfect ending to a great day, a relaxing meal at Woolley's. Peruse our award winning wine list and see why Chef Peter is a celebrity in his own right.


After dinner, don't worry about making the trek home, retire to your suite and get a good night's rest in. Breakfast in the morning is on the house and cooked to order to boot! The kids will love watching our chefs prepare their omelets to their specifications. After a great day and a great stay, you'll be ready to great the new day and the new school year.


This year for back to school, don't just make lists, make memories!
