It's clear that Shade Tree Auto has come a long way from using old kitchen appliances to fix cars. 

Just when we thought we knew all there was to know about ribbon cuttings, a local event that we helped plan gave us a little cultural perspective on the tradition! 

February 22 isn't just National Margarita Day, it's also the anniversary of Golden Openings being incorporated! This year we are celebrating 20 years of successful business!

We are excited to share with you our newly revised mission statement!

Golden Openings offers annual and semi-annual paid internships as well as participates in Waukee High School’s "School to Work" program. We think it's imperative to teach the students working at GO the value of giving back and serving others, as we encourage them to participate in community activities, as well as do their jobs. Our 2016 summer intern, Maddie Huntley, a Waukee High School junior, had an extraorindary summer while working with us at our Iowa Headquarter's office. Read what she has to say about her fun and educational experience at Golden Openings!

We specialize in sculptures that are larger than life, cast in resin, bronze, aluminum, and other materials.

Congratulations on scheduling your ground breaking! When preparing for the big day there are hundreds of details to consider and with all the hustle and bustle, some of the most important aspects are often overlooked. Remember, you only have one chance to make a great first impression, and we want to help you make it count!

Add more WOW to your event, here's how!

If you want to take an ordinary event and add a little fun, balloons are a quick way to add an element of excitement. It is a proven fact that they draw attention to your event, too. Just look at the before and after photos in our flyers, and see for yourself.

We found this photo on a site that claims to be the premier source for ground breaking and ribbon cutting supplies. Clearly, they sell products, but have they ever really been to an event? Likely, no. To help ease the confusion may be out in the marketplace, we will provide definitions of all three events for you.  

At Golden Openings, we didn’t necessarily invent the Ribbon Cutting or the Grand Opening, but we certainly made them come to life! These meaningful marks in time have been happening for centuries. Surprisingly, before we started our business you couldn’t find any of the ceremonial supplies to accomplish your goals at your event. Since our grand opening in 1997, we have helped millions of business owners around the world get out of the starting gate in style and make history with their business and event.
