Beautiful venue with great staff

The Millennium Hotel was an incredible wedding venue! Mark and Fatima were great to work with, the food was good, and all of the staff did a great job ensuring everything went smoothly on our wedding day. Also, the views really are stunning. So many people took photos in the dome, and it was incredible to have our first dance under the open sky. I would highly recommend the Millennium Hotel, and I would recommend getting a quote, even if you think it may be too expensive. We didn't think it was going to fit in our budget, but we reached out just in case, and it actually did!

Wow! They did an amazing job and helped to coordinate everything! They were so detailed so on the day of the wedding we knew what to expect. One of the guests said if she ever gets married that’s where she’s having her wedding. Everyone said it was beautiful with nice views. The people who worked at the hotel were so nice too! They gave us complimentary parking during our stay at the hotel, and it’s normally very expensive because its downtown. Also, after the wedding they had complimentary champagne and chocolate covered strawberries when we got back. The food was delicious too, highly recommended!

We had our wedding ceremony and room block with Millennium and are so happy we did! Our ceremony was held in the glass dome on the 14th floor overlooking the Minneapolis skyline. The views were breathtaking, our guests were BLOWN AWAY. We had 75 guests and a custom built altar, the ceremony was intimate and exactly what we always dreamed. I started out working with Meghan, and when she left, I worked with Leslie for the block and Mark for event coordination. All were extremely responsive, helpful and accommodating. Our ceremony only cost $1500 for the space and they gave us complimentary parking and upgraded us to a large suite for our stay, only charging us the normal room rate. They also comped our wedding night! They sent us a cheese plate and bottle of wine our first night and then strawberries and a bottle of champagne the night before our wedding. Such a sweet and thoughtful surprise! We also had full use of the gorgeous Studios A/B with floor to ceiling windows as our getting ready bridal suite, which made for gorgeous pictures. I would recommend looking into hiring Dream Day Dressing Rooms to add chic furniture to make it feel extra special and cozy! The hotel is small and easy to navigate, rooms are clean but a little beat up, the hotel has obviously been around a long time. However, the glass dome and impeccable customer service made everything perfect. My husband and I felt like we got the VIP treatment from start to finish and are so thankful we chose the Millennium Hotel for this special event! Also, shout out to Dale for fixing our suite's AC and Scott/Wolfgang/Anita for being AMAZING in the lobby. You guys are great! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

The Millennium Hotel was a wonderful venue for our wedding. The view and convenience of downtown Minneapolis was unbeatable, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the prices were reasonable. We are very glad that we chose the Millennium for our big day!

I would HIGHLY recommend this venue!!

My wedding was absolutely everything I could have hoped for and more! Meghan and Tina were the two main contacts I worked with and they were both absolutely amazing to work with. The food is beyond delicious, their attention to details and overall thoroughness is beyond compare, they operate smoothly and professionally and I'm so glad I had my wedding with them. It's also such an amazing an unique location!!

From start to finish, the hotel and its staff went above and beyond. Planning was easy and seemless, and the wedding day was coordinated and went perfectly to plan. The space couldn't be more spectacular with the backdrop of the city from every angle, and the location of the hotel is ideal for guests. Our guests raved about the meals and beverage service. As for my husband and I, dancing our first dance under the stars in the dome is a memory we will always cherish. Thank you for making our wedding dreams come true.

We loved every last thing about our wedding at Millennium Minneapolis! And so did our friends and family! The staff in all areas of the hotel was beyond incredible. The prices were very fair. The lobby, rooms, and event spaces were perfection. We had the most amazing experience with them. The staff was timely in responding, we felt like we were part of a family, everything was personalized and professional, and we had amazing interactions with all of the staff...from the planners, to the careers, to the chefs, to the bellmen, to the front desk teams...you name it...it was exactly what we needed and wanted...in fact, they exceeded our expectations!!!! Highly recommend!!! Don't leave this one off your list to check out!!!

I would strongly recommend the Millennium Hotel to anyone looking for a wedding venue! Compared to other venues with amazing views of Minneapolis it was very budget friendly while still offering all the amenities you could want. Tina, the Senior Catering Sales Manager, made the entire experience from our initial consultation through execution on wedding day easy and memorable. She was very professional, knowledgeable and assisted with all the special requests we had. The Dome and Marquis Ballroom and Studios were excellent with floor-to-ceiling windows and the flow on wedding day from the Dome for the ceremony (and dancing later) to the studios for cocktail hour and the ballroom for dinner was a wonderful experience for our guests. The hotel has a lot of options for food and liquor options; we ultimately ended up creating a custom menu and getting the premium liquor bar and received a lot of compliments from our guests on the quality of the food and drinks. The hotel itself is in a prime downtown location, has been renovated top to bottom and has employees who were friendly and accommodating. We stayed in the Nicollet Suite which I would strongly recommend for anyone getting married at the hotel; it was really nice having the large penthouse space to get ready, gather with friends and family, etc.

Millennium Hotel hosted our reception after our wedding and it could not have gone better! The Dome and Marquis rooms have beautiful views of the Minneapolis skyline in both daytime and nighttime, and the room décor provided by Millennium accentuated the beauty of the rooms. Tina C., the Senior Catering Sales Manager, went above and beyond for us--she made excellent suggestions for food and ambiance and was flexible with our choices. When things became overwhelming for me, Tina jumped in with her grace and expertise to make things perfect. The appetizers and dinners we selected were exquisite, I am still hearing praises about it a week later, what an excellent catering choice! The service staff and manager (Renee) we worked with were very friendly and professional, and the people behind the scenes (Kathy and Kira) made the billing and room arrangements fair and easy to understand. All staff involved with our reception seemed very dedicated to making it a beautiful and memorable experience. I was very concerned about the music for the reception, as we did not have a band or DJ and my computer crashed while I was trying to connect it to the speaker system. Fortunately, Millennium had options available for background music that worked out great, what a relief. I truly feel that each person involved with planning and executing our reception made extra efforts to make it a very special event. I highly recommend using Millennium Hotel for a wedding/reception!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
