Venue considerations

  • Best for events with big guest lists
  • Not for you if you are looking for something nontraditional
This was the most impressive venue for the money. Looking back at all that was included you would’ve thought our budget was triple what we spent. I loved how customizable the day was, we were able to omit things that weren’t important and add more of what we loved and wanted to highlight (like drinks). I truly felt this was a “boujee” wedding and very High class which I didn’t even think was possible with our budget. We had so many compliments on how elegant but also rustic our venue style was. Being able to utilize the space the night before for the grooms dinner was also a huge plus! We loved everything about tattersall and I would recommend this to anyone!

Quincy Hall was an incredible venue for our wedding! We had around 200 guests for our September wedding and it felt simultaneously spacious and cozy. The QH team was very responsive and helped with planning every step of the way. They were also super accommodating and helped fine ways for us to meet out budget while still getting the experience we were looking for. The venue and surrounding area had a number of spots for stunning, industrial vibe photos and we couldn't be happier with the look and feel for our day. Our food was also outstanding. We knew the food at Crave would be delicious, but we received so many compliments from guests about their meals. They have some of the most reasonable prices on the market and the catering staff were super professional and polished. Overall, we had a great experience and would highly recommend Quincy Hall!

Hollywood Theater 
Minneapolis, MN

The Hollywood Theater is an iconic Art Deco landmark in Northeast Minneapolis. When it opened in 1936, the theater was described as “the incomparable showcase of the Northwest’’. After years of decline, the theater closed in 1987 and was purchased by the city of Minneapolis. Twenty-five years of inaction and neglect followed until 2014 when the National Park Service recognized the building’s historical significance and listed it on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2015 the theater was sold to Northeast-resident and entrepreneur Andrew Volna, who saved the building and restored its original Art Deco splendor. Today it is ready to host your event.
