A DREAMER FOR DREAMERS
My name is Ranya Svoboda, and I founded Champagne Ivy with a singular vision: to create moments that linger in memory long after they unfold. In a world where stress is abundant, I aspire to curate magical events that people look forward to, mark on their calendars, and remember with a smile.
It all began with a simple date night—a surprise for my then boyfriend, now husband. Yet, the experience left me feeling underwhelmed, sparking a realization that Minneapolis deserves more. Thus, I began envisioning and creating my perfect evenings, only to discover that others shared my passion.
Our journey has led to numerous sold-out events across the Twin Cities, signaling a profound demand for innovation and a creative touch in our local event scene.
Because we love foodie experiences so much, we wanted to create a way to give back. In collaboration with Venture, we donate a portion of each ticket sale to provide meals for those in need. Working with local leaders, they distribute tens of thousands of meals daily to children & families in need.
