Planning the wedding was a breeze with the help of Marisa and her clear/prompt communication, and her staff was excellent throughout the entire wedding day. We also had great reviews from our guests on the dinner buffet and bar service. I highly recommend Breezy Point if you want to have a fun, comfortable, "up north" wedding near the lakes!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better venue than Union Depot for our wedding. The venue manager was clear, communicative, and flexible throughout the planning process. She helped us with deadlines, floor plan adjustments, parking validations, access to getting-ready spaces, and being on-site the day of to support with our wedding coordinator. We also appreciated how affordable the venue and getting ready spaces cost for our budget. The venue itself was beautiful, and it was a relief to do a final walkthrough and drop off decorations the day before the event. The Waiting Room setup with digital signage, pipe and drape made it easy for guests to know where to go, and Union Depot offered stunning indoor and outdoor photo options, which was especially important given the unpredictability of the weather conditions. We can’t wait to visit Union Depot in the future to hop on the train/bus and reminisce on our wedding day there.”

Kelly was organized and responsive every step of the way, always thinking ahead about what we would need before we even asked. Her communication with us and our vendors was excellent and timely. Avalon's many rooms, staircases, three stories of books, columns, and proximity to Rice Park provided many beautiful photo settings. The getting-ready suites (two each) for the bride and groom are gorgeous and gave the wedding party the perfect space to prepare for the ceremony. Kelly was available throughout the day and handled any issue that came up with calm competence, which really helped this stressed MOB.

“Our wedding at Le Venerè was truly a dream come true. From the moment we first saw the venue, we knew it was something incredibly special, and it ended up being everything we could have hoped for and more. The space itself is absolutely STUNNING. The chandeliers, the architecture, the elegance of the entire venue — it created the most beautiful and romantic atmosphere for our wedding day. We wanted a venue that felt timeless, elegant, and magical, and Le Venerè was exactly that. Our guests could not stop talking about how gorgeous it was! One of our favorite things about Le Venerè was how perfectly the space flowed throughout the entire day. We were able to have our ceremony there, transition seamlessly into cocktail hour, and then move into dinner and dancing without ever losing the magic of the space. Every part of the day felt distinct while still feeling cohesive, and we loved that our guests were able to experience everything the venue had to offer. Our ceremony was beautiful, cocktail hour felt so elegant, dinner was absolutely magical under the chandeliers, and then the space transformed into the perfect place to celebrate and dance the night away. It truly gave us everything we wanted for our wedding in one incredible location. Le Venerè will always hold such a special place in our hearts because it was the setting where we officially began our marriage and created some of our favorite memories together. When we look back at our wedding photos, we are still blown away by how beautiful everything was. If you're looking for a wedding venue that feels romantic, elegant, timeless, and completely unforgettable, we cannot recommend Le Venerè enough. It was our absolute dream venue, and we are so grateful that we got to celebrate one of the most important days of our lives there.”

With the wood details and black and white accents, the venue provides the perfect backdrop for your special day. We were thrilled with the addition of the dock and the pergolas in the back patio. Our outdoor ceremony by the lake was beautiful. The Bridal & Groom suites were terrific, I loved that the Groom suite had a golf simulator – it kept the guys entertained while they waited! The Bridal suite was also gorgeous and spacious enough for 8 girls. Curtis and Maddy were excellent to work with, very responsive, and always helpful whenever we had any questions.

“If there’s one thing you should know about South Asian weddings, it’s that they’re not small. We estimated a guest list of about 300-400 people, and with us being Muslim, an additional factor that really came into play was ensuring that our catering was able to be made Halal, which you can think of as meal preparation similar in rigidity to Kosher preparation, but according to Islamic guidelines. I made a call to Brackett’s Crossing, and was greeted by Elizabeth (Liz) Revak and Kendra Simonis. They had informed me that Brackett’s can accommodate 300-400 guests for an event and that they accommodate a Halal menu, provided that it is still through Brackett’s Menu and their kitchen. Historically places that I’ve toured that did that, and weddings I attended where South Asian food is not on the normal menu usually does not hit expectations. Kendra and Liz had told me that if I was available, that they had an open house in the winter and that their full menu would be on display, alongside some of their preferred vendors- and that attending would give us a fuller picture of what the food would look and taste like. My family and I went, and were WOW’ed by their presentation, hospitality, organization, and of course, how delicious their food was! Speaking to Liz and Kendra and having tried the menu and knowing that it could be made Halal, we were super intrigued but not yet settled on having them do our event. What followed was me barraging the two of them with phone calls and emails, and them meeting every one of my questions with thoughtful, kind, respectful answers that showed a serious dedication to their craft, and conveyed the passion with which they do their jobs- and frankly, go above and beyond. They started by giving me several pamphlets worth of information on anything I’d ever want to know about hosting an event there, and when I started asking about requests like modifying the space/event to accommodate our cultural and religious values they were so beyond helpful, insofar as knowing the direction of Islamic prayer relative to their venue, knowing key customs in Muslim and South Asian tradition, being able to turn over spaces in the building for prayer time, accommodating our diets, and even being able to accommodate in case we needed a horse! The space itself is lovely, the ballroom is incredibly grand and very well lit from their wall to wall windows, and the outdoor gardens and photo areas are phenomenal. As a bonus, the patio space outside was perfect for cocktail hour and for guests to hang out at night. The organization of the event went really smooth, as they work very closely with all of your vendors and have spreadsheets/meetings to help you (should you choose to utilize them) and will make sure to provide you the exact appropriate amount of organization you want so as to not over or underwhelm you. When it came time for the day of, Kendra and Liz went above and beyond, and were personally on site to oversee the success of the event. The staff, both in the kitchen and the servers tending to the guests were all pros, and kept the event running efficiently- turning over the photobooth, dessert tables and dinner and making sure that my wife and I were not bothered at the sweetheart table (and had a plate of food!) GO WITH BRACKETT'S. You won't regret it.”

About wedding venues in Minnesota

Minnesota offers incredible wedding backdrops that span from the Mississippi River Valley to the North Shore. You'll find everything from historic mansions to modern industrial spaces and charming rustic barns; all ready to host your special day in this diverse landscape.

What Makes Minnesota Wedding Venues Unique?

Minnesota venues really shine when it comes to seasonal transformation. Take The Hutton House with its floor-to-ceiling glass that showcases lush summer gardens or pristine winter snowscapes depending on when you visit. PAIKKA in St. Paul features experimental plant walls and flexible spaces you can customize, while Legacy Hill Farm near the Twin Cities gives you climate-controlled areas that accommodate up to 295 guests with full accessibility. You'll find Minnesota venue costs typically range between $5,800 and $7,000; noticeably lower than the national benchmark of $6,500 to $12,000 which typically eats up about 25% of your total wedding budget.

How Much Should You Budget for Your Minnesota Wedding?

Your wedding costs will vary significantly based on how many people you invite: - 50 guests: $18,584 - 100 guests: $30,703 - 150 guests: $42,098 - 200 guests: $52,287 - 250 guests: $62,477 - 300 guests: $72,667

What Percentage of Your Budget Goes to Each Service?

Catering$5,11912%
Florists$4,62211%
Bar Services$4,09510%
