“We truly could not have asked for a more perfect wedding venue or experience. The venue itself was absolutely stunning - intimate, beautiful, and the perfect backdrop for both our celebration and our photos. Brad and Louise were incredible to work with and supported us every step of the way, taking the time to walk us through each part of the day and keeping everything running smoothly and on schedule. Brad also served as our MC and did an amazing job keeping the energy up and the party going all night. The photos they captured are absolutely breathtaking and are memories we will cherish forever. Our wedding day was one of the best days of our lives, and we are so grateful to have had such an amazing venue and team be part of it.”

In 1910, President Taft signed the bill to establish Glacier National Park as the country’s 10th national park. Mr. Healy was given a plumbing contractor for the train depot here in St. Paul, where he met Samuel Bartlett, the architect of many of the railroad depots and Glacier National Park Lodge. Healy then commissioned Bartlett to renovate and enlarge the house. In 1914, the farm was sold to John Healy, the owner of Healy Plumbing and Heating Company of St. Paul. Mr. Healy’s company became closely tied to the Great Northern Railroad, as it provided the heating and plumbing for many of the train depots that were being built around the country at that time. The farm was named Hope Glen Farm, the name of John Healy’s mother’s maiden name of Hope, and the house settles in a Glen, thus Hope Glen.

“Hope Glen Farm is truly an exceptional wedding venue, and we cannot say enough about the incredible team behind it. From the very beginning, communication with the venue manager, Eryka, was outstanding. She is the definition of professional — organized, responsive, calm under pressure, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. Her guidance made the entire planning process feel seamless and stress-free. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking. The grounds are beautifully maintained, offering a romantic, storybook setting that feels both elegant and welcoming. One of the highlights was the stunning treehouse where we stayed on our wedding night — complete with a cozy fireplace, jacuzzi, and full kitchen. It was the perfect, private retreat to unwind and soak in the joy of the day. What truly sets Hope Glen Farm apart is the thoughtful layout of the space. Each area — from the ceremony site to cocktail hour to the reception and dance floor — flows effortlessly into the next. Our guests were able to move comfortably throughout the celebration, and everything felt natural and well-paced. The entire property creates an immersive experience rather than just a single event space. The value for what you receive is unmatched. Being able to bring in our own alcohol saved us thousands of dollars without sacrificing quality, and their catering options were phenomenal. Our guests are still talking about how incredible the food was — which says everything. If you’re looking for a venue that combines natural beauty, flexibility, professionalism, and an unforgettable atmosphere, Hope Glen Farm exceeds every expectation. We would choose it again in a heartbeat. Plus it was only 20 minutes from the airport our out of town guests really loved that.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding day - thanks to the incredible team at Nicollet Island Pavilion and our amazing event manager, Morgan. From the very first moment we reached out, Morgan was a pleasure to work with—attentive, organized, and always ready with helpful advice and solutions. She made the entire planning process feel seamless, and we knew we were in great hands. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. We were blessed with perfect weather for our outdoor ceremony, which was set against a gorgeous backdrop that made for unforgettable photos. The location is breathtaking, and it truly felt like a dream come true on our big day. We enjoyed the fun and informative group tasting event. It gave us a chance to experience the venue fully set up for a larger event, and it was so helpful to visualize everything in action. Plus, the food was great! We also did a walking taco late for our night food and it was a big hit with our guests! The staff at Nicollet Island Pavilion were also amazing. The servers and bartenders were professional, kind, and went out of their way to make sure everyone had a great time. They made sure every detail was taken care of so we could enjoy the day without worry. All in all, our wedding day was everything we dreamed of, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible venue and the wonderful team that made it all happen. We highly recommend Nicollet Island Pavilion and Morgan to anyone looking for a beautiful, stress-free event. Thank you for helping us create memories we’ll cherish forever!”

“My husband, Josh, and I got married at East Town Ballroom on 10/10/2026. Because ETB - unlike other places - does not charge a room rental fee on top of the food and beverage minimum, we went into the tour knowing that we would REALLY have to dislike it in order not to book with them. But we were absolutely blown away with how much we loved it. We had a pretty ambitious goal for our venue food budget, and Emma worked hard to help us attain it. For full transparency, we paid about 10,700 for a wedding of 120 people, decorations, three kegs, and covered parking for vendors. Most other venues we looked at would have had STARTING prices at 14K. Over the course of the year we spent working with Emma, we asked her about 10,000 questions. She answered every one with generosity, patience, and grace and never made us feel like a burden. Even when we changed our minds on some details, she was extremely receptive and always quick to respond. She went above and beyond in every way and made the planning process a true breeze with how organized she was. I also want to speak about the staff - it is the understatement of the century to call them kind and professional. Whether it was with welcome bags, making sure our floating candles were lit during cocktail hour, or doing the final cleanup the next morning so we wouldn’t have to worry about it, they lifted so much of the last-minute stress that happens in the 24 hours before and after the ceremony. They made us feel so taken care of and celebrated and showed us that they genuinely cared about us having a wonderful day. Part of the reason we were so excited about ETB is because neither my husband nor I are from Minnesota, so we had a lot of travelers coming in. Having the hotel block, ceremony, and reception all in one location was so convenient, and we were even able to hold welcome drinks and the after party in the hotel lobby due to its spaciousness and bar. It felt amazing not to have to worry about traveling to other locations with all of the guests and so relaxed to just come back inside and get off of our feet for a debrief after an awesome sparkler sendoff. It was especially nice for our grandmothers and family members with very young children because they could easily make their way up to their rooms when they were finished partying without needing to work with a shuttle service or call an Uber. Some random recommendations/things to note: - get the wedding drapings. It’s 1K-2K, but so so worth it. The ceremony/reception are in what is basically a giant meeting room, and when it’s not set up for a wedding, you can tell it’s a meeting room. The drapings completely transform the space and make it super dreamy and romantic! - This is totally a personal opinion, but I was not a fan of the carpets in there. We got an aisle runner (6x40) and this worked great. - If you’re wondering how long your aisle song should be - my dad and I took about 25 seconds to walk down the aisle. - rooftop for pictures looks out over downtown Minneapolis and is perfect for golden hour! - The food is great! There were a lot of GF options and even a kid’s meal (chicken tenders and fries), which I haven’t seen at other venues. All in all, we can’t recommend East Town Ballroom enough. Everything about it was absolutely amazing, and I encourage every engaged couple looking to get married in the Twin Cities to check it out!”

“We were so pleased that we selected Campus Club for our October 2019 wedding. From the first email inquiry we sent to the Campus Club, we were impressed with the diligence, competence, and experience of the staff. The space worked well for us and our guests. There is plenty of space for everyone to spread out - the terrace, the dining room, the lounge area, and the bar. We had a variety to guests from kids to my 90 year old grandparents and everyone was comfortable. The views are stunning from every single one of the spaces! We had hoped that our ceremony would be on the terrace but it was unseasonably cold (and snowing) on our wedding day so we ended up having it indoors. We were initially disappointed but it worked out great to have guests sit at the dining tables and was really pretty. The space is nicely finished and requires very little decor to look pretty for a wedding - we only did centerpieces and cafe lighting and it looked great! This saved us a bunch of money too. The food was excellent and all of our guests’ dietary limitations were accommodated. Leading up to our wedding, we worked mostly with Jenn who is very organized and responsive and takes care of all the details we hadn’t thought of. She responded to every one of our (million) questions right away. On the day of our wedding, the managers and staff made everything run absolutely perfectly. These people really know what they’re doing. We couldn’t be happier about our wedding day. Thanks Campus Club! Even 5 years later, I'd choose Campus Club again and again. 5/5!”

“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.

“From the moment we began working with FIVE Event Center, we felt supported, and that feeling only deepened on our wedding day. The space itself is stunning, with a romantic industrial feel that feels both elegant and warm, but what truly sets FIVE apart is the people. Robin and her team took an incredible amount of stress off our shoulders. They handled the flow of the day with such calm confidence that if anything was frustrating or unexpected, we never felt it. Their professionalism and quiet reassurance allowed us to stay present and actually enjoy every moment. We even had a last-minute oversight and forgot our cake cutting supplies - and somehow, without hesitation, Robin completely saved the day (and our photos) by magically having exactly what we needed. It was one of those moments that could have caused stress, but instead became a reminder that we were in the best possible hands. We had initially worried about parking, but it ended up being a non-issue - not a single guest mentioned it. Everything flowed smoothly, the space photographed beautifully, and our guests consistently commented on how welcoming, beautiful, and well-run the venue felt. We are so grateful to Robin and the entire FIVE Event Center team for creating an experience that felt seamless, thoughtful, and genuinely cared for. We would wholeheartedly recommend FIVE to any couple looking for a beautiful space paired with a team that truly goes above and beyond.”

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. Hollywood Theater can seat up to 250 guests, but can welcome 500-600 guests with a mix of seating and standing room. In addition to the theater space, there is a private courtyard, complete with grass & string lights. Perfect for an outdoor ceremony, your cocktail hour, or just a breath of fresh air. We look forward to connecting!
