We had the pleasure of working with The Emery Hotel for our wedding on New Year Eve (12.32.25) and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! From start to finish, they were supportive, professional, responsive, organized, and SO incredibly helpful. Sheena, Nick, Josh, and all the rest of the staff went above and beyond by helping us ensure the event ran smooth, that our guests felt welcomed, and were so attentive throughout the entire process. Their catering, event arrangements, décor, bar services, hotel service was stunning, delicious, beautifully executed, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about it! They said it was one of the best weddings they’d ever been too. It’s all because of the amazing vendors we had the pleasure of working with, like everyone at The Emery Hotel. Communication was easy and they made the entire process seamless. If you’re looking an event venue and staff who listens to your vision, brings creativity, delivers exceptional service, we highly recommend The Emery Hotel! Thank you, Emery and team, for making our wedding day so special!

From the moment we began our journey with the Lumber Exchange, every staff member was flexible, friendly, helpful, and kind. Everyone we worked with truly wanted our day to be special. The food is incredible, and the chefs were so attentive to dietary needs—during our tasting they sat down with us, and the head chef even came out during the reception to make sure everything was perfect. The entire team puts their best foot forward. The value of the service, food, beverages, and overall experience is absolutely worth the cost, and compared to other venues, it’s not overpriced in my opinion. The Lumber Exchange offers several beautiful event spaces and is conveniently connected to a hotel, which made everything so easy for us and our guests. Our day was magical, and the Lumber Exchange team was truly wonderful. We look forward to hosting another event there someday and will always hold our wedding day close to our hearts!

My husband and I got married here in June and loved everything about it! The venue itself is perfect for smaller-medium size weddings and very affordable compared to other places we looked it. Also, most of our guest were coming in from out of town, so it was important to us to have a fun area with lots of restaurants and accessibility without a car. This location couldn't have been better. Gabby was so helpful with answering any questions and assisting us through our wedding planning. She even helped navigate the rehearsal since our coordinator couldn't be there. Overall, we can't recommend Watson Block enough for its price, aesthetic, and service!

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!
