• Dancing withe the Public Arts All-Stars was Public Art Saint Paul's most successful fundraiser ever – thanks to the Dancers Studio and DS Event Center in so many ways! Our guests proclaimed it was the greatest arts fundraiser of the year! With our thanks and very best wishes, Public Arts Saint Paul.

  - Christine Podas-Larson, President of Public Arts St. Paul

• Thank you for helping to make our business event such a success! In spite of numerous challenges we presented to your staff during the planning process and several last minute requests, they consistently demonstrated professionalism, responsiveness and flexibility. While the facility is elegant enough for celebrations such as weddings, anniversaries and parties, it lends itself perfectly for business functions as well. I would highly recommend DS Event Center. You won’t be disappointed.

• We were so, so pleased from beginning of planning through to the wedding reception itself with your professionalism, helpfulness and kindness to us! This is our first wedding and sometimes we just didn’t know what we were doing, but with your help we made it through! Thank you, Katie, for answering every question and thank you and all involved for the beautiful hall set up. Thank you too for all your hard work that night, we noticed all of it and appreciated it greatly! We also thought we had the best dressed people helping us as well! You all looked great and you go above and beyond what you need to and take a lot of pride in DS Event Center as you should! Best wishes!

• Katie, this is not even close to enough to show you how thankful I am for having you help plan our wedding. Our special day was everything I could have asked for and so much more, all because of you. The location, food, DJ and overall atmosphere was all perfect and we continue to get compliments from our friends and family! The time and effort you put into helping us plan our wedding will never be forgotten. I'm still shocked that you were able to teach us our first dance too! I will never forget the way I felt during our first dance. Thank you again Katie and DS Event Center!

Thank you for being so good at getting back to us whenever we had questions and for always being so pleasant. We have been raving to our other law friends about your venue, despite knowing that we run the risk of no longer being the only student organization that holds their event at such a wonderful location! Thank you again for your wonderful service and support! See you on the dance floor!
