We got married 8/3 and i will say the Grands is truly a great place to have your wedding. They take so much stress and work off of wedding planning and make everything extremely easy. From our first meeting we knew we were going to get married here. They help with a lot of vendors such as DJ, Shuttle, candles for centerpieces and all decorations, Day of coordination, food, dessert, late night snacks, and so much more that I know I am missing! They break down the prices completely and we didn’t feel like anything extra was added to our final bill. Weeks before the wedding we met with Joe and Larry to help with the day of coordination and the entertainment piece of coordinating. This helped with giving the DJ an idea of what we wanted for our entertainment and helped our day flow so much easier. The day of our wedding could not have been more great. We got married on the lodge side and used the bridal suite to get ready. It truly is such a beautiful venue that needs little decorations. The staff and Joe were so helpful throughout the day and night to make the day go smoothly and kept open communication between my husband and I. We had DJ Alli and unfortunately it was her last wedding which I think was meant to be because she truly did such an amazing job keeping everyone on the dance floor and taking requests. Truthfully our wedding could not have been more perfect and we have no regrets choosing this venue

I can't say enough great things about Wicked Wort. When we got engaged, we didn't give our venue a second thought. The inside of the brewery is so cool and unique, it made for some amazing photos. The day of, I didn't have to think about anything, they were all so great at taking care of what needed to be done. The best thing about having our wedding here? It was working with family. There wasn't a bunch of people running around who we didn't know- it was the same faces we had met with and planned with. Steve and Tracy are about the best business owners/runners, and having their family involved makes it even cooler. I look back on our photos and think about they day with so much joy- the pictures are as unique as the day was- and that's how it should be :) We wouldn't have changed a thing of how our big day went- and I will keep recommending Wicked Wort forever. Thank you all so much for everything and for making us feel like part of the family.

As a bride, I could not have been more happy with Machine Shop as a venue. Upon our initial tour with Sheridan, it was clear the Machine Shop team would be incredibly professional, accommodating, and organized throughout the entire planning process leading up to our event, as well as day of. Sheridan was so personable and a pleasure to work with. Having attended several weddings leading up to and after our day, I've gained a sense of appreciation for how important the staff is to the flow of the day. When I say there was not a single glitch in the day, I mean it. David could not have been more amazing ensuring from guest arrival to the final dance that the event stayed organized and on track. The venue itself could not be more stunning with the large windows and natural light. Our guests were so complementary of the venue and set up. I am so thankful and appreciative for the incredible team who made sure our day would be one we always remember.

When we began planning our 2024 wedding, Watson Block was the first venue we toured, and we immediately knew it would also be the last! Watson Block's intimate space and Art Deco vibes was perfect for our small (50 guests) wedding. Gaby was so easy to work with, being extremely communicative, professional, and patient with all the questions we had throughout the process. Watson Block's relationships with its partner caterers also made it a one-stop shop for our venue, food, and bar needs. Not only is the space gorgeous and the service top-tier, the price was remarkably affordable, especially given its location in the heart of Minneapolis! Watson Block made it possible for us to have our dream wedding, and we couldn't be more grateful. Thank you to Gaby and the entire team!

After touring multiple venues in Minneapolis, the Lumber Exchange was the perfect choice for us. Without knowing exactly what our "dream wedding" would look like, the team at the Lumber Exchange guided us through planning in a way that organically created the PERFECT day and night for our wedding. The venue's new chef, Ali, was so incredible and worked with us to make a few changes to an already-DELICIOUS menu (we asked for a lighter sauce to go with the salmon) and the guests said all night that it was some of the best wedding food they've ever had! The parking ramp attached to the venue was great for guests to easily access an otherwise-intimidating downtown excursion! The bridal and groom's suites were both beautifully maintained and secure for the day and evening making it so comfortable to get ready and celebrate! Also, between the parking ramp rooftop, the stunning staircase and light shining in from downtown through the massive windows in the Dylan Room, the venue provided so many amazing photo opportunities. We were so at ease for the entire process, and we would recommend this space to anyone looking for a classy venue that is SO well-run, all of the typical stressors one might encounter in planning a wedding are completely taken care of. A special thanks to Hannah Fox who was our assigned (included in the cost of the rental) coordinator and Shannon who was the manager of the building for both our rehearsal and the entire wedding day. They were a dream team one can only........dream of! Attention to detail, charming personalities and complete support of all ideas we had!

We had an unforgettable wedding at the University of Minnesota Campus Club in February. We had about 6 months to plan our wedding and working with the staff at the Campus Club made the planning process more fun than anything! They had great taste and suggestions for the wedding, responded quickly to questions, and were so kind. We were also allowed to have our dog at the ceremony! It made the planning process streamlined because we could have the ceremony, dinner, food, and the dance floor all in one place. The venue already had so much character that one doesn't need a lot of extra decorations (and extra work). The space is so large that it does not feel crowded to have the entire wedding at this location. What drew us to this location were the stunning views of Minneapolis, the incredible food options (the guests could not stop talking about the steak!), and the multiple options you had for room choices. We rented out the West Wing and the bar area, which proved to be a great option for guests to mingle after the ceremony and before dinner. With amazing views, delectable food, and a beautiful venue it made our wedding a perfect day!

Semple Mansion was an absolute dream venue. Our wedding was December 6, 2024. From the moment we first inquired, communication was fast and effective. We took swrveral tours and visits to nail down details - they were supportive and mostly transparent every step of the way. The staff went above and beyond to ensure it felt like our home for the day. The venue itself is truly a magical space - it feels like stepping into a fairytale, from the stunning murals and chandeliers to the intricate woodwork. There is so much character and a space for everyone to feel comfortable based on their vibe. They truly made the venue feel like our own for the day, and we are so grateful for the role they played in making our wedding day so special.

We have been left speechless about our big day for the last month. If considering FIVE Event Center for your wedding, let this be your sign. All thanks have to go to the amazing coordinators, Victoria and Robyn, and their staff who made the process oh so smooth! Their communication from the first inquiry to the day of was incredible. They are up front and honest. They are open to giving recommendations, but also open to hearing yours. They work with some of the most amazing partners. Be sure to check out their preferred vendors--everyone we worked with from this list was FABULOUS! Our guests have continued to rave about our choice of venue. From the bridal/groom suites, to the beautiful brick walls and cocktail space downstairs, and everything in between! With being in Uptown, parking can be tricky. Therefore, we recommend working with their top pick of valet service-Unparalleled Parking (Especially for a Friday Wedding). The photo options are endless and truly perfect surrounding this location as well. FIVE Event is there for you to ensure your day is perfect! Stop debating and choose FIVE Event:)
