Question

Have you reserved blocks of rooms at one or more hotels

Answer

No, we will not be reserving any blocks of rooms at hotels. The Minneapolis Club is conveniently located in the heart of downtown Minneapolis. There are a number of hotels with varying prices in that area to choose from, many of which are a short walking distance or Uber away from our venue. Here are some hotel recommendations in downtown Minneapolis: The Westin Hotel Indigo The Marquette The Rand Tower Hotel The Hyatt Embassy Suites There are a number of other stay options as well if you prefer not to do a hotel (i.e. - Airbnb, Vrbo, etc.)

Question

Will there be a time gap between your wedding ceremony and reception?

Answer

Yes, we will have a cocktail hour between the ceremony and reception. We will absolutely be joining everyone for this! It will be an outside cocktail hour on the venue's patio, so please dress accordingly. We will also be hosting a cigar bar at that time, for those who wish to partake.

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

No (we know our friends too well to punish ourselves with that choice), instead we have chosen to host a signature cocktail. The rest of the bar will be a cash bar. There will also be non-alcoholic beverages available for those who choose/are underage.

Question

What kind of music will I be dancing to?

Answer

We are so fortunate for the groom's father, Stuart, who introduced us to the Big Stoop Big Band Jazz and Swing! Stuart has been playing the trumpet for them for years. It is a 15-person big band joined by two singers. They will kick off the dancing before we switch over to a DJ later in the night.
