The most beautiful venue

I highly recommend having your wedding at Mendakota Country Club! The staff was extremely helpful in planning a wedding especially during a pandemic. They communicated clearly throughout all the changes and made our dream wedding come true. The grounds and golf course make a beautiful backdrop for pictures. One of the major reasons we went with Mendakota is the ability to have the entire upper facility for our guests. There are 3 rooms and a patio area that guest socialized in all night long. The food was delicious and everyone spoke highly of it! If you are looking for a venue that all your wedding events can be held, I highly recommend Mendakota Country Club!!

You must book here! Gorgeous venue and fabulous to work with!

Our Wedding at Mendakota County Club was everything we wanted and then some! Trying to plan a wedding during a pandemic was stressful to say the least. Cutting back on the guest list, deciding what to keep and not for food service and everything in between was made a little easier by this team. Not only were they super supportive and helpful through our constant back and forth but they made us feel at ease with their current safety measures in place. After learning about all they do to help ensure guest safety and satisfaction we made the decision to move forward with our wedding! It was perfect! The outdoor ceremony space was amazing and the food Chef Mike prepared was so good. Thank you Mendakota for making our day so great.

Excellent quality!

We had our wedding reception at Mendakota, and we can't recommend it highly enough! We looked at a number of venues, and Mendakota was by far the best value around. It is a beautiful country club, with immaculate grounds and classic detailing throughout. It wasn't necessary to spend much on décor, as the venue itself is already so lovely. The staff is very professional and easy to work with - Perry was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. He had excellent advice for us in planning our reception, and we were confident that everything would be handled well. We were so delighted with how everything turned out - we could not have chosen a better venue for our reception. We still hear compliments to this day; from the elegance and beauty of Mendakota to the excellent service and food (the food here is incredible!), everything was superb. We also hear rave reviews from everyone about the friendly bartenders and the high quality of the drinks they made. All in all, everyone had a wonderful time, and we could not be more pleased with Mendakota Country Club.

We toured about 10 venues in the Twin Cities when we moved here last year and decided to get married in our new home town. We were looking for a place that was classic, connected with the ourdoors, and personal. Mendakota Country Club was all of these items and more! The clubhouse itself is simple and beautiful with high wood ceilings which is a lovely backdrop for any decorations. The grounds of the country club and the golf course were absolutely gorgeous, especially in August, when all the flowers are blooming and the sunshine is warm. Perry, the coordinator at Mendakota, was so fun to work with - that man has personality and is VERY good at what he does! He gave us great suggestions on how to best spend our budget to maximize the vision we imagined. He knew the important things to do to support traditions, like a wine pour and a signature drink, and he was also very flexible to let us decorate the way we wanted. He helped us to determine the layout of the room to hold our 130 guests, a big harvest table for the bridal party and their dates, and a band with a ample dance floor. It turned out absolutely awesome!! Also the food was very good. We had salmon and filet mignon, and we received so may comments from our guests on how perfectly cooked they were! The waitstaff were exceptional and did so many small things to make the day special, including opening doors for guests, caring to small decoration details, cleaning plates/drinks in a timely manner, and helping guests with random requests. We were extremely impressed with everything!!!! Highly recommend this venue.

Our August 13th wedding was a perfect day! We can honestly say that we are so happy we chose Mendakota Country Club for our ceremony and reception venue. Paige and Perry were easy to communicate with and helped us to personalize our day. On our wedding day Paige was so helpful, we cannot say enough about how great she is! A special shout out to Alan, one of our bartenders, our guests loved him and went on and on about how personable and friendly he was. We would not change a thing about our day! Thanks to everyone at Mendakota!!!

The service is topnotch from start to finish. My guests could not get over how incredibly beautiful everything was. I was planning on an outdoor wedding but mother nature had other things in mind. Paige, the coordinator for our big day, was able to take my planned outdoor ceremony indoors within 15 minutes. My guests raved about how beautiful the ceremony was and how impressive the service was. The food was a huge hit and everything was ready right on time. If you want a place for both ceremony and reception with great places to take photos, an amazing dinner selection, PERFECT service from start to finish, and a price that is actually affordable in the twin cities then you NEED to be at Mendakota Country Club. We even had friends who are looking at venues ask for the info they were so impressed!

We had our ceremony and reception at Mendakota in the summer of 2016 and hands-down it was the best day of my life not only because I was marrying the man of my dreams but because Mendakota had a huge hand in making the day so special. It was on-and-off raining and Perry and Paige did such a fantastic job at keeping everything coordinated and organized that I felt so comfortable knowing everything was going to go smoothly because they were the ones I got to work with. The staff was so friendly and attentive. Huge thanks to barkeepers Debbie and Alan; people were telling me how awesome the two of you were! The food was also so good, I mean who doesn't like cheesy potatoes with their chicken?! Overall, I couldn't of asked for a better experience for my guests - all thanks to Mendakota. I highly recommend this venue due to the friendly staff, cleanliness, beautiful views, delicious food, supurb service and attention to detail. Thank you, thank you!

Sundays are a great value at this location. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the venue was. The food and staff were great. We had a lot of food allergies that they needed to accommodate and they did a great job with that.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Mendakota Country Club is a beautiful golf course in Mendota Heights and we love the opportunity to head out there. From a DJ's perspective, they have a house system and microphone which makes it easy to hear speeches and announcements, while still easily hearing the background music. Then once the dance starts, the DJ is right in front of the dance floor which is on the far side of the room. The set-up works perfectly and the staff is always very helpful and kind.

Class Act DJ's & Officiants Class Act DJ's & Officiants Wedding DJs

Class Act has played her many times over the years and they consistently do a great job. They have been recommending us to their clients because we can do the ceremony including officiant and reception dance to the highest of standards.
