Watson Block was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, their team was prompt, thorough, and incredibly friendly in their communication. The venue itself is beautiful, with clean, elegant spaces for the ceremony, dining, dancing, and bar. We loved that it was essentially a one-stop shop, making the planning process so much easier. The venue coordinator was amazing to work with and ensured our special day went off without a hitch. The quality of the space and the value we received was truly outstanding. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue.

Michael was fabulous to work with and always communicated promptly. His calm, get-it-done attitude was such an amazing tool to have on our side. We had our groom's dinner, ceremony, reception, and guest block at The Graduate. It was an amazing experience and such a beautiful hotel. All of the staff was helpful, courteous, and made us feel welcome. The vibe at The Graduate is super unique, the best of kitsch and class. It made for the best backdrops for our wedding photos and their food options are unique and fun.

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.
