A Hewing Hotel hello! Our elegant wedding venue is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota and is situated in the historic North Loop neighborhood.

With our exceptional service, delicious regionally inspired menu, and well-appointed guest rooms, the Hewing Hotel is the ideal place to host the wedding celebration of your dreams in the heart of the “Twin Cities".

Facilities and Capacity

The Hewing Hotel can accommodate up to 176 for a seated dinner or 225 cocktail reception in our largest event space, Andrews Ballroom. Once a farm implement warehouse, the newly refined hotel features exposed timber and brick, tall ceilings, and original industrial elements combined with high-end interiors. There are several locations within the hotel where couples can host their wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. The Andrews Ballroom is the perfect location for grand gatherings, featuring large windows along an original brick wall and modern amenities.

The Northwoods Room - formerly Large Private Dining Room - is ideal for both intimate and large celebrations, like micro weddings, rehearsal dinners or family-style receptions for under 48 guests.

Best decision ever

Hosting our wedding at the Hewing Hotel was the absolute best decision we made in the planning process. The catering team, especially Nicole, was informative and responsive. Nicole went above and beyond to make sure our day was exactly how we envisioned it. Every server, bartender, and member of our catering team were genuinely so kind and excited for us, which made us feel at home for our big day!

Amazing, mini wedding at the Hewing!

Due to covid-19, we had to change plans for our wedding no less than 3 times. The Hewing was amazingly helpful and flexible every step of the way, and we ended up with a day that was far from the original plan, but still so beautiful, special, and safe. Their staff goes above and beyond to give you a great experience and tailor everything to you, the event space (and hotel rooms) are gorgeous and unique, and the food and drinks are superb. The hotel took care of so many elements of the day, allowing us to relax and enjoy. Could not recommend more highly!

Incredible venue with amazing service!

I'm a wedding planner and plan weddings and events all over domestically and internationally and the Hewing Hotel was one of my favorite teams to work with. I had the pleasure of working with the staff at the Hewing Hotel for one of my client's weddings. We were requesting a large amount of unique details that hadn't been done before (customized food, drinks, setup, etc) and they welcomed every idea (AND challenge!) with open arms and a happy heart! They were incredibly delightful to work with and went above and beyond to ensure the day was perfect for the couple! I would like to call out Sam and Heidi specifically because they were so wonderful, but all the staff was incredible. It's hard to find vendors that truly deliver top notch 5 star service and they absolutely do!

Hewing Doesn't Have a Bad Angle

We had our wedding and ceremony in the Andrews Ballroom. I fell in love with the Hewing Hotel because of the photographs of the Library in the lobby. To be honest, I had never been there in person, I just saw their profile on Wedding Wire. It was blind faith that paid off! We had a wonderful experience – great libations, delicious food, dog friendly and beautifully designed interiors! The best part (outside of marrying the man I’d been waiting over 20 years for) was the background for the photography. The Hewing does not have a bad angle. Our photographer was able to use the backdrop in the lobby for some of the most beautiful photos I have ever seen. Overall, the Hewing staff was great to work with and responsive to our requests and questions.

Our perfect wedding venue

I cannot say enough good things about the Hewing Hotel. The service from every single person leading up to and during our wedding weekend at the Hewing was beyond exceptional, and we were on a first name basis with most of the staff by the end of the weekend.

We had both our ceremony and reception at the hotel since we had many out of town guests. Friends from New York, Boston and LA all raved that it was one of the best hotels they'd stayed at. We were treated to a surprise April blizzard the weekend of our wedding and I wouldn't have changed it for the world. Guests cozied up by the fire with cocktails from the adjacent bar, enjoyed the roof top hot tub with snow falling around them, and explored the (very immediate) neighborhood. A year later, our friends still talk about it. Thank you, Hewing Hotel team, for making our wedding better than we imagined!

We had our wedding at the Hewing Hotel -- both our ceremony and reception. Rachel and the rest of the hotel staff were OUTSTANDING. They made so many accommodations, and handled everything the day of with ease. They took care of everything I asked. Food was amazing --everyone was raving about the venue, the food and drinks. Would 100% recommend. Amazing team of people to work with and by far the best venue in Minneapolis with an industrial, rustic ambiance that could not be more welcoming and breathtaking. Reasonable/competitive pricing for the area with easy access for your guests and valet parking. We had 145 guests with a seated dinner, and it was very comfortable. They gave us plenty of food -- no one left hungry and everything went as promised.

Event perfection!

The Hewing is THE perfect place to celebrate your wedding or any special occasion! We just had the pleasure of celebrating our son's wedding in the Hewing's Private Dining Room. The 5-course chef's choice dinner was magnificent as were the wine pairings. The staff went out of their way to make sure it was everything the bride & groom hoped it to be. Special thanks to Heidi who navigated everything to perfection!

We worked with Rachel at the Hewing for our hotel block and hosting our rehearsal dinner in one of their spaces (behind Tullibee). She was great to work with throughout the process, super easy and always willing to work with whatever we needed. All the staff that we came in contact with were incredibly friendly and happy to be around. They were so amazing and definitely helped us feel special the entire weekend. I would absolutely recommend staying with them and trusting them to go the extra mile to make your events feel extra special.

Great Venue

We absolutely loved getting married at the Hewing Hotel. It is so beautiful, and you really don't need much decor at all! The staff was incredibly friendly and responsive. Selena was so awesome to work with as well! I would say the only thing is we weren't totally prepared for how much the taxes and fees would be, so read your contract!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
