Great venue for a wedding reception.

We held a wedding reception at the Campus Club on August 26th. The planning process was easy, the food was great, the wait staff was professional and friendly and the coordinators were patience and very helpful from beginning to end! Most importantly our daughter was very happy! She said the night could not have gone better-literally everything was perfect!

Campus Club was an excellent choice!

We held our wedding at the Campus Club in October 2022 and couldn't be happier. They did an absolutely amazing job running the event and working with our vendors - I was genuinely impressed! The space is also beautiful - we didn't really do any decorations for this reason and it 100% worked out. The terrace, floor to ceiling windows, classy bar and simple linens looked perfect. I would definitely choose the CC again. Highly recommend!

Wonderful wedding 2022

Mollie and team were fantastic to work with. Planning sessions were quick and effective, and Mollie asked great questions which really helped me think and plan with her. The tasting was fun and delicious! The day of staff were great and communicative. Loved having the entire floor rented as it allowed for privacy for us and our guests, multiple getting ready and/or quiet rooms, and space to move about. Food was absolutely delicious (highly recommend the chicken skewers and the ribeye steak!) and came out quickly! We had a few musicians amongst us, so the on-site piano was a sweet touch. Very thankful that we chose the campus club for our wedding venue. Thank you Mollie and team!

Best decision of our wedding

Choosing the Campus Club as our wedding venue was easily the best decision we made all wedding! We loved that we had the entire 4th floor to ourselves and there were so many places for guests to enjoy themselves, from the beautiful patio, to the large reception room with amazing views of downtown Minneapolis, to the bar and various other nooks and crannies. Mollie was absolutely fantastic to work with and quickly answered any little question that we had for months leading up to the wedding. She also kept us up to date on the latest COVID restrictions (and it was very easy to pick a new date when we needed to postpone for a year due to COVID). They also coordinated pick-up and drop-off times with all the external vendors, so much so that we felt that we didn't need a day-of coordinator.
Finally, the food! They do internal catering and feature farm-to-table food from local vendors. We and all the guests were blown away by the quality of the food, and many guests commented that it was the best chicken (the mustard-crusted chicken) or best steak they've ever had. The food tasted just as good on the day of the wedding (serving 100+ people) as it did during the tasting, and came out quickly and consistently. All in all, we had an amazing experience and would highly recommend the Campus Club to everyone!

12/10 recommend Campus Club

We are so pleased that we selected Campus Club for our October wedding. From the first email inquiry we sent to the Campus Club, we were impressed with the diligence, competence, and experience of the staff. The space worked well for us and our guests. There is plenty of space for everyone to spread out - the terrace, the dining room, the lounge area, and the bar. We had a variety to guests from kids to my 90 year old grandparents and everyone was comfortable. The views are stunning from every single one of the spaces! We had hoped that our ceremony would be on the terrace but it was unseasonably cold (and snowing) on our wedding day so we ended up having it indoors. We were initially disappointed but it worked out great to have guests sit at the dining tables and was really pretty. The space is nicely finished and requires very little decor to look pretty for a wedding - we only did centerpieces and cafe lighting and it looked great! This saved us a bunch of money too. The food was excellent and all of our guests’ dietary limitations were accommodated. Leading up to our wedding, we worked mostly with Jenn who is very organized and responsive and takes care of all the details we hadn’t thought of. She responded to every one of our (million) questions right away. On the day of our wedding, the managers and staff made everything run absolutely perfectly. These people really know what they’re doing. We couldn’t be happier about our wedding day. Thanks Campus Club!

Spectacular Winter Wedding

My husband and I were married at this event in February and it was just a fantastic experience. We were very new to planning a wedding and did not really know where to start. The event manager Jenn at the Campus Club was very helpful in guiding us through our event, providing multiple options for layout of the venue, and what all to include/do ourselves. We could even include our dog during the ceremony! The staff was professional and friendly at the event. The food was incredible! All people could talk about after the wedding was the steak. Highly recommend! It is a great price for the food, the view, and space. Many places to take pictures around as well, with the columns in front of Coffman, the view off the terrace, and more. Cannot say enough how gracious, helpful, and accommodating the event managers and staff were.

Awesome Experience-Elegant and Classy

My daughter's wedding took place at Campus club. This was the best decision of the entire wedding decisions. First, communication with Jenn was great in regard to planning with vendors, etc.
Food was fantastic including appetizers and desserts. All our guests were pleased with their meals and that doesn't happen often.
Further, You can't ask for a better location. The building is beautiful and at the sights from the 4th floor are amazing especially at night. Staff were professional and attended to our guests and their request. Brent and Nick were Awesome! We were able to use the entire 4th floor and all the rooms for bride and bridesmaids getting ready. The salon staff did the bride and bridesmaids hair and makeup in the Shephard room which couldn't be better. There is plenty of light in that room and Jenn provided us with full length mirrors. They were willing to provide us lunch. The ceremony took place at ABC room which is perfect for such an event. I recommend this place for any major event!

Moua-Kieselbach Wedding

One of the best decisions my husband and I made while planning our wedding was to use the Campus Club as our venue. On one side of the reception room, you could see the Minneapolis skyline, on another side, the Mississippi River. We had 230 guests who were present and the venue had more than enough space to accommodate all guests.

Moreover, Campus Club has a restaurant and bar, lobby, various rooms that you could use for whatever purposes, and of course, the terrace looking over the Minneapolis skyline and beautiful courtyard on the U of M campus. We had guests in all spaces of the Campus Club throughout the night. Many of our guests made comments of how much they loved our wedding and choice of venue as 1/3 of our guests appreciated a space just hanging out and away from the loud music during dance time.

Jenn and her team were responsive, accommodating, and extremely flexible. We made changes to our wedding planning constantly, up to the week of the wedding and still, Jenn did an AMAZING job giving us what we wanted. In addition, Jenn worked closely with our vendors and made sure everything was set for the day of the wedding. We are so thankful that we found a location that worked for us and would recommend the Campus Club to any bride and groom to-be!

We had our wedding at the Campus Club last weekend, and I must say it was a success with many thanks to the staff there! We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all at this location, which made it easier for out of town guests so they would not have to move once they arrived. Jenn, our coordinator, was so helpful with the details and made sure we were taken care of from the moment we booked this venue. Everything was flawlessly and all of our guests loved the gorgeous view from the terrace and the bar room for conversation throughout the wedding as well.
In addition, the food was absolutely amazing. It tasted great at our tasting but honestly it blew us away at the reception. I highly recommend this gorgeous venue along with the great staff that will make sure you're set for the big day! Thank you to the Campus Club!

We had our wedding at the Campus Club in early May and we were so happy with it, we wanted to do it all over again. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception at the Campus Club. We worked primarily with Jenn but I think I probably spoke, emailed, or met every person there at some point because they were all so helpful. Jenn was amazing. I probably emailed her nothing short of 100 questions and she answered them quickly and was also so nice and happy to help. She did a great job of sending me updated confirmations when we made changes and she had a lot of insight/suggestions/etc. She truly is a pro at what she does and our wedding day went perfectly because of her planning and help. Sadly she was on vacation the day of our wedding, but everyone that was there that day was so professional, helpful and friendly. We just could not have asked for a better experience in planning on wedding. The venue and the food and drink, etc are such big decisions with so many little details. And Jenn made sure we covered each one. The other great thing about this venue is the space itself. We got so many compliments on the amount of space, the amazing view, the variety of places for guests to mingle. Don’t want to dance? Grab a drink at the bar. Too many shots? Get a breath of fresh air on the terrace overlooking downtown. It’s a beautiful venue with an amazing team of people there to make your day everything you wanted and more. I have to stress the ‘and more’- we went back two days after to collect our gifts and things and my handkerchief from my grandma was missing. I thought I left it on the head table but it was not with any of our stuff. What did Jenn and Jane and company do? Put on rubber gloves and actually looked through linen bags and the garbage bin looking for it. I’m embarrassed to tell the story, because the hanky ended up getting tucked into one of our toasting glasses, but they deserve the credit for being the definition of going above and beyond.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
