Awarded Best of Zola
We booked The Graduate for our wedding in December and it was awesome. We had a lot of guest in from out of town so being able to do everything at one venue was very convenient for everyone. We worked with Michael W. and he was very helpful throughout the entire process. We had a couple of hiccups but Michael was able to get things squared for us. All in all we had a great experience and so did our guests. I would highly recommend.

Hollywood Theater 
Minneapolis, MN
  • Up to 260 guests
  • Raw space

  • Starts at $800

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.

The 6,817-acre system consists of local and regional parks, playgrounds, golf courses, gardens, biking and walking paths, nature sanctuaries, lakes, and a 55-mile parkway system.
