About this venue

The Capitol Room is located in the heart of down town Saint Peter, Minnesota. Originally built in 1913 as an armory; our ballroom proudly boasts the backdrop of exposed brick and plaster underneath the beautiful & original wooden barrel vaulted ceiling, showing off 20 vintage chandeliers and hundreds of Edison bulbs that create a twinkling aura for your special day. We have two amazing suites for the bridal party and an eclectic space for a social hour. These bridal and grooms suites have been carefully curated with a mix of modern and vintage furniture and the walls are covered in funky art that is flirtatious and nostalgic.

    Wedding

    From our first email, The Capitol Room's team got back to us right away and answered every question we had with clear, straightforward answers. They were attentive throughout the entire planning process and made sure we felt heard at each step. The venue itself is stunning—classic and elegant in a way that felt perfect for our wedding day. Everything about the space felt timeless. The staff was professional and smooth on the day of, keeping everything running exactly as we'd planned. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we'd recommend The Capitol Room to any couple looking for a venue that delivers on both beauty and service.

    Amazing Wedding Venue

    We used the Capitol Room for both our Ceremony and Reception and it was absolutely perfect! The space is stunning and holds a lot of character. We had plenty of space for both my wife and I to get ready in two separate suites. There was a separate space for everyone to enjoy cocktail hour while the room was flipped for the reception and dance. From the minute we toured the space we knew it was where we wanted to have our wedding. Sitting down with Megan was an absolute delight. We hired her for her day of coordinator services as well and she took care of everything. She made the room stunning and we didn’t have to worry about anything. She was extremely professional, she was in constant communication with us and even took our call the night before at 10pm when our officiant quit on us last minute. She helped us through the situation and calmed our nerves. The day of the ceremony it felt like we were working with one of our close friends by our sides. We can’t recommend Megan and the Capitol Room enough!!
