We got married 8/3 and i will say the Grands is truly a great place to have your wedding. They take so much stress and work off of wedding planning and make everything extremely easy. From our first meeting we knew we were going to get married here. They help with a lot of vendors such as DJ, Shuttle, candles for centerpieces and all decorations, Day of coordination, food, dessert, late night snacks, and so much more that I know I am missing! They break down the prices completely and we didn’t feel like anything extra was added to our final bill. Weeks before the wedding we met with Joe and Larry to help with the day of coordination and the entertainment piece of coordinating. This helped with giving the DJ an idea of what we wanted for our entertainment and helped our day flow so much easier. The day of our wedding could not have been more great. We got married on the lodge side and used the bridal suite to get ready. It truly is such a beautiful venue that needs little decorations. The staff and Joe were so helpful throughout the day and night to make the day go smoothly and kept open communication between my husband and I. We had DJ Alli and unfortunately it was her last wedding which I think was meant to be because she truly did such an amazing job keeping everyone on the dance floor and taking requests. Truthfully our wedding could not have been more perfect and we have no regrets choosing this venue

I loved the Regency Venue for my wedding on Saturday, May 18th, 2024! I was initially attracted to the Regency because it was a beautiful blank space, and it allowed me to be more creative with my decorations! Ashley & Katelyn were wonderful to work with and responded to my questions quickly during the planning process! Ashley was my DOC, and she was amazing! My hostesses & decorator said she was very helpful with a lot of the wedding day details! I also loved that we got the space from 7:00am - 12:00am and some additional time after to clean up! We stored a lot of the decorations in the bridal suite until Sunday morning, which was nice because we didn't have to be comepletely out of the space on the nice of our wedding, letting us enjoy the night! It was also great working with Short Stop Custom Catering for the Food & Bar Service! Theresa was there to answer any of my questions during planning, and the tasting experience was so fun! Their tasting room is beautiful & I loved being able to try their food with my family! The catering team was incredible & so friendly! We had stuffed sirloin for our entree, and it was delicious! I got so many great reviews from my guest about the wonderful food, great staff, and exceptional bar service! They handled all the set up and tear down of the tables, chairs, and linens & the room flip from ceremony to reception which was a life saver! I cannot recommend the Regency Venue & Short Stop Custom Catering enough! :)

Reeds & Rushes is an amazing venue! When we first toured the place, it was still under construction, but we trusted Curtis and Maddy's vision. They truly impressed us with the final result. 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. I would definitely recommend them!

Just got married at Brookview and had the most amazing experience. Kailyn was great to work with, answered all of our questions (we had a lot!), and made sure all of the details were ready to go. There was rain right before the Ceremony and the staff was so proactive about wiping off chairs and helping us make the decision to move our cocktail hour indoors. With unexpected rain on my wedding day, I was so appreciative that they were on top of these sorts of things and I didn’t have to worry. We catered the Taco Bar from Three One Six and got so many compliments on the food. Guests were so happy and it is truly a beautiful venue. Overall, if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing. It was a perfect day and a perfect venue. Thank you Brookview!

We had an Amazing Wedding 10/15/2022 at Windows on Minnesota! Started the day with a get ready room prepared by the hotel and added on breakfast for the wedding party on the 3rd floor which was so spacious and made PERFECT get ready photos! Groomsmen used a suite to get ready in and we loved having our own spaces to keep the morning calm and special for all of us. Our ceremony was off site, but used Stars for a cocktail space for our 206 guests which had perfect views and LOVE the passed mushroom arancini appetizer!! My only recommendation is adding an extra bar (3rd bar for us) so the lines are not long for your guests. Our reception was in Galaxy and the plated dinner options were truly amazing, we chose Beef short ribs, asiago chicken, pesto salmon (thank you Chef Evan and Chef Mike for customizing) and the mushroom risotto! I continue to hear from our guests that each dinner option and pear salad was so good! Special shout our to Angel in Engineering for helping us with a special request! The banquet staff Michael, Diane, Melissa, Grace, Ricarda, Randy, Mohamud and Milton were so kind and accommodating to our guests. We brought in Sammy's Sweet Cupcakes which avoided the 5 per person cake cutting fee and loved each flavor. Sydney, Sarah and Scott were awesome with all our details and set ups along with communicating and updates that occurred. My husband and I were very chill and very organized during the planning process as I know the Sales team juggle so many events at Windows. It was the best day ever and thank the events team for making so many details come to life and allowing us to be carefree and enjoy our day! -Nate and Kat P.s. Our Vendors were AMAZING too!!

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!

Hands down, the BEST place to host a wedding in Minneapolis! The staff was amazing and soooooo accommodating - quick to return calls and emails and to answer any/all questions related to my son's wedding. 10 stars!! We hosted the groom's dinner, wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing all in one space and it was the best wedding set-up ever! Guests are still raving about the food and ambience! We had an amazing room block rate. Michael worked with the bride on pricing food, open bar, late night buffet, Topgolf, etc... which made the entire process stress-free. The parking ramp is connected directly to hotel via skyway, which was a huge boon for guests when they arrived for the wedding. We were able to bring in our own furniture, accessories, cake and rentals. We were also able to set things up as we wished with the help of Michael and his amazing team of energetic, hardworking and overly kind staff!! We had the pleasure of enjoying the outdoor patio space, which was absolutely perfect for the cigar bar. I highly recommend the Graduate to all brides & grooms!!! My family is still raving about the wedding and it's been almost a month since the big event. THANK YOU GRADUATE TEAM FOR GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR MY SON AND HIS NEW WIFE!!!
