Today we’d like to introduce you to Dakota Plaisted.
Hi Dakota, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I’m Dakota Plaisted, the Creative Owner of All Things Goods. I started All Things Goods after styling and creating custom backdrops, signs, and walls for my own wedding. I quickly realized there was a lack of custom event decor rental where you could either pick through inventory or work with builders to create your vision piece and be able to rent it, skipping the hassle of owning, storing, transporting, and building the items yourself. It wasn’t even a thing here in Minnesota, so I set out to transform the event rental industry. Since then, All Things Goods has been working with a variety of clients creating and renting custom signs, backdrops, walls, bars, shelves, and more. But we don’t stop there, we’re also balloon and event stylists. You could say we’ve become a one-stop-shop event builder. After all, we’re here to help you bring your event dreams to life!
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
The Minnesota winter has definitely been my biggest struggle, It takes a bit longer to build when you can’t feel your fingers! But I don’t think you can ever say building a business from the ground up is a smooth ride. I am consistently working to streamline All Things Goods as a whole, making it an enjoyable, simple, and beautiful process.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Again, I started All Things Goods after styling and creating custom backdrops, signs, and walls for my own wedding. I quickly realized there was a lack of custom event decor rental where you could either pick through inventory or work with builders to create your vision piece and be able to rent it, skipping the hassle of owning, storing, transporting, and building the items yourself.

We pride ourselves on our seamless, clean, and beautiful rental items. They are truly one-of-a-kind and you are more than likely not able to find them anywhere else.
All Things Goods as a brand is just that. We are all things good, from our people to our goods.
We are here to transform the event rental industry with our custom decor items and the most special part, our ability to BUILD your dream items and bring our clients’ vision to reality.
We’d love to leave your readers knowing that we’re ready to help them achieve their event goals through event rentals, custom event rental builds, and balloon and event styling.
We love surprises, fun facts and unexpected stories. Is there something you can share that might surprise us?
Something surprising that most people who know All Things Goods might not know is if you have an image of your dream event from a magazine, Pinterest, Instagram, etc. we can recreate that look for you! We can take a picture and make it your reality, bringing it as close to the image you have as we can or changing things up and making it more YOU! We love a good challenge.
