Beyond perfection

My husband Alex and I cannot stop talking about how amazing our venue was. We got married last weekend and JX blew us away! Emily was SO great to work with every step of the way. Especially during these unprecedented times. Being a bride is stressful but planning a wedding during 2020 is even worse and Emily had so much patience with me and was flexible and supportive all while she and JX were figuring out this new world as well! Everything honestly was so seamless and everything came together so well. All of our guests and family were so impressed by how beautiful the venue was. We are so, so happy. JX was always a dream venue and we are SO happy we made the choice to have our wedding at JX. Thank you Emily and team!

I love working at JX

As a florist - I love working at JX Event Venue in Stillwater, MN. It is a beautiful, simple, elegant space and a perfect backdrop for a wedding (and our flowers.) The rooms are beautiful. Exposed brick and crystal chandleiers have transformed the the old factory into an elegant beautiful setting.The staff is so professional and willing to help - working there is a pleasure! The spaces decorate beautifully or look beautiful just as they are. As a florist, JX is a great backdrop for whatever the Bride's vision is for flowers.

As a wedding planner/coordinator, we LOVE working at the JX Venue! This is one of our favorite venues to work at. The venue is gorgeous and truly one of a kind. We are excited to be a preferred vendor with the JX Venue and One23 Events. We also recently helped Eliza at JX plan a styled shoot which turned out to be absolutely stunning! Eliza was great to work with as she was professional, friendly and stayed on top of the shoot and organized all of the vendors throughout the process. We can't wait to be back in September and December to work with the JX team again. Looking forward to working even more weddings and events there in the future! Highly recommend. xo, Melody (Events by Melody)

JX is the best venue. I don't know what else to say beyond that. It's the best actual venue, has the best staff, and is in the best location. If JX is available, your venue search should stop here. I'd book asap, because it's highly sought after. Highly, highly, highly recommended.
