About Golden openings

Golden Openings was founded in 1996 by Kimberly Baeth, who recognized a need for grand opening and ribbon-cutting services while working at the North Hennepin Chamber of Commerce. What started as a local business quickly grew into a nationwide enterprise, providing event planning and ceremonial products. By 2003, Golden Openings revolutionized the industry by inventing and mass-producing the first stainless steel ceremonial scissors, along with a growing array of custom event products. This innovation propelled the company to serve major clients such as Oprah, Disney, the White House, and Fortune 500 companies.

Over the years, Golden Openings has invested in its people, infrastructure, and community, fueling its rapid expansion. With a strong commitment to customer service and innovation, the company earned national recognition, winning the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Small Business of the Year Award in 2017. Beyond business success, Golden Openings actively gives back, leading impactful initiatives like "Cutting Out Cancer" and the Central Iowa Blue Ribbon Campaign. Today, Golden Openings continues to be the premier provider of grand opening and ceremonial event services, dedicated to helping businesses celebrate milestones with excellence and community spirit.

In 2024, Golden Openings was acquired by Front Row, an omni-channel consumer goods sales and digital marketing agency dedicated to scaling businesses. With a seasoned leadership team and a nationwide network of market-immersed experts, Front Row has been cultivating record-breaking growth for nearly five decades. In addition to its sales and marketing expertise, Front Row provides a comprehensive suite of digital marketing services, including Web Development and Design, SEO, Ecommerce Migration, Social Media, Paid and Email Management, Amazon Store Management, Video Production, and Photography. The acquisition allows Golden Openings to expand its reach and continue its legacy of excellence while benefiting from Front Row’s extensive resources and expertise.
