Best Day Ever!!
We couldn't have asked for a better experience at The Van Dusen Mansion. From the moment we started planning, Sicily and the team responded quickly to every question and made us feel supported the entire way. On our wedding day, the attendants went above and beyond, they were attentive and caring, even making sure our guests had water during the heat. The venue itself is absolutely stunning with its classy elegance and impeccable upkeep, and it provided the perfect backdrop for our celebration. The staff's genuine kindness made us feel like they truly cared about making our day special. We'd recommend The Van Dusen Mansion to any couple looking for a beautiful space with a team that treats you like family.

Perfect Day!
The Van Dusen was fantastic! They were very communicative and transparent, and most importantly, they executed the day phenomenally. Everyone was so helpful and we felt very taken care of throughout the planning process. It was a beautiful day and it went absolutely perfectly.

Beautiful Venue!
The VDM was a flawless venue. They were so organized and helpful, that we didn’t require any outside wedding planner. The venue was beautiful and so unique that every part of the night is in a different space, it helped with the overall flow and kept the entire night an adventure! It was fully blooming and green for our Memorial Day weekend wedding. All associated staff, including our day of coordinator, were easy to communicate with and helpful in planning. The day of coordinator was able to take my notes/decor and set everything up perfectly. We stayed on time the whole night. Would highly recommend!

Dream Venue in Minneapolis!
We got married here in April 2026. We fell in love with the venue the minute we walked through it. The staff were very professional, from scheduling our tour, helping us plan the wedding, and all the staff day of were beyond helpful. They helped us have our dream wedding and made sure we didn't have to think about any of the logistics; it was already covered. We could not recommend the Van Dusen Mansion enough. We truly loved our experience there.

Our DREAM wedding!
The wedding of our dreams! We are beyond grateful to have found not only a venue, but a staff that took such good care of us and our guests. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, the VDM team was incredibly responsive and available to answer any questions we had. They were flexible with us with touring the venue (several times) to make sure we felt comfortable leading up to wedding day. We planned our wedding from out of state and the VDM team made it so easy. On wedding day I was able to be in the moment without a care in the world because of our vendors, including the VDM staff, who took care of absolutely everything and I never had to think twice about it. They are top notch! I would highly recommend the Van Dusen Mansion to anyone looking for a classic, timeless, luxury feel wedding in the Minneapolis area. 1000/10
