Absolutely GORGEOUS venue for a wedding reception ... has to be one of the best in all the Twin Cities. I had one guest tell me that it was the most romantic wedding they had ever attended. The event coordinators are extremely well organized and take a lot of pride in their venue! I did not have an outdoor ceremony, but the amphitheater would be amazing if blessed with a beautiful, sunny day! It is worth serious consideration!

Wonderful, delicious, moist wedding cake! Loved it! We went with the Chocolate Lovers and Marble. We overestimated the size of our cake by about 30% so that people could have a generous slice. Buttercream considers a "slice of cake" equal to the size of a deck of cards. This seemed really too small. Cake was expensive but the results were amazing!

The Carlson Towers Rotunda is an absolutely magnificent venue for a wedding! My wedding reception looked like something out of a fairy-tale and exceeded my wildest expectations! The grounds are gorgeous and maintained immaculately. The catering/event salespeople were wonderful to work with and extremely well-organized! The food is good but not exceptional. My food was better during the taste-testing than the actual wedding day. A number of our guests admitted that the walleye fillet was served luke-warm, which was a disappointment. My husband and I also felt like it took too long for them to serve dessert, which became apparent when the guests started to become a little restless. The DJ took notice and decided to start our slideshow early. When I think about all the things that could have gone wrong that day, but didn't, these are relatively minor issues. Overall, I would choose the Carlson Towers Rotunda again in a heartbeat! It is truly one of the best places in the Twin Cities to host your wedding reception!

Exceptional, professional, reliable. They allowed us to customize our music, and they stuck with the itinerary. It was exactly as I expected. These are not over-bearing, cheesy DJ's. They are professional at what they do. We had a very elegant, classy wedding with music from all genres and for all ages. We received many compliments!

Diane is extremely professional and reliable. I listened to her vocals online and again in person. Once I decided to hire Diane, she took care of the rest. She showed up to rehearse on the wedding day, and she sounded exquisite during the ceremony!
