Our DREAM wedding!
•Verified review
•Liz B.•Jan 11
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
The BEST wedding venue and overall experience

The Van Dusen Team was amazing to work with and seriously made our day perfect. Everything ran smoothly; the staff was so helpful, organized and communicative leading up to and on the wedding day. We went with their Essentials Package and it was perfect for what we wanted - having catering/bar, DJ, floral, photography, and planning all centrally managed through the venue made the entire process low-stress and actually enjoyable. Not the mention, all of their in-house vendors absolutely killed it. Our guests were blown away by the entire experience, and it honestly the most beautiful, perfect day. I would choose the Van Dusen Mansion for my wedding again in a heartbeat.
Absolutely Amazing!

I had my wedding at the Van Dusen Mansion in November 2025 and it was everything I ever dreamed of. The staff were so helpful and friendly, they really took a giant weight off of our shoulders making sure everything ran smoothly throughout the night. I would 100% recommend this venue to anyone thinking about it!

Simply put, there is no better place to get married than the Van Dusen Mansion. The venue itself is stunning, seamlessly incorporating the beauty of the historic mansion that brought our vision of an elegant wedding day to life, with the natural immersion of the courtyard to deliver an unforgettable ceremony, with a perfect ballroom for dinner and carriage house for the party. The staff are incredible to work with- they're experts for a reason.
