Northern Stacks Events is a wedding reception venue in Fridley, Minnesota, carved into a pre-World War II brick building. Featuring large stacks and double-height windows, this historic structure blends components of the industrial-era with a contemporary style for a stunning backdrop. As a blank canvas, the venue boasts potential for ambitious decor plans and colorful wedding themes. Couples are sure to enjoy putting their mark on their special day.
Facilities and Capacity Adjacent to the Forgotten Star Brewery, the Northern Stacks Events venue is a large open-plan space ideal for gatherings of up to 150 guests. The 3,100-square foot hall boasts ample room for dining, dancing, and DJing. Wedding parties have access to the facility for the whole day and can organize their timeline to suit their needs. Flooded with natural light through the large windows, the venue is bright and inviting at all times of the year. Views of the train station next door, and the seasonal elements outside, really add to the industrial ambiance of the building. Inside, wagon wheel-style chandeliers and string lights are warmly lit to cast a cozy glow over the banquet scene below. The layout possibilities are endless and couples can opt for round tables or enquire after long farm tables with wooden cross-backed chairs. For couples who choose to make their vows in one location, a ceremony wall featuring a wooden beam and lights is an attractive background. With a brewery next door, cold brew enthusiasts are sure to enjoy the benefit of fresh beverages nearby on their special occasion.
Services Offered Northern Stacks Events offers a range of services to accommodate couples planning their wedding. Couples can avail of all-inclusive bar services, complete with professional bartenders, service staff, and a fully stocked bar with a range of beverage options. Tables, chairs, and day-of management is included in the package along with support for outside vendors such as catering, music, and entertainment. Ceremonies can also be held on-site for the convenience of the happy to-be-weds.
I wish I could give Jesse/Northern Stacks Events more than 5 stars! We originally planned our wedding at a different venue. In light of COVID-19, we were in a tough situation. My husband and I knew from the start of the pandemic we didn’t want to wait another year to get married, so we quickly found an alternative. We found Northern Stacks Events online and within a week ended up changing our venue to be more accommodating with restrictions/be able to still proceed with geting married on our original date!
This ended up being the perfect venue for our wedding and more! We had our ceremony and reception both take place there. The space is beautiful during the day and night!
Like I mentioned before - Jesse (the owner) is amazing and helped throughout the whole planning process and answered all the questions I had until the day of. Trust me, after switching venues, I had a lot of questions, and he emailed/texted them back and forth always in a timely matter. He was very professional, nice, and easy to talk to. We didn't hire a day of wedding coordinator, so Jesse stepped in and took place of that as well to make sure the day of my wedding went smoothly, and it did!
The day of my wedding could not have been more perfect. Jesse and his staff took great care of us. Right after the ceremony, they made sure we had some food and drinks before the reception started. My husband and I had the best day of our lives, and we got so much great feedback from our guests. Some even said it was the best wedding they’ve been to!
Just want to say a big thank you to Northern Stacks Event (especially Jesse and the staff) for making our wedding perfect. I recommend checking out Northern Stacks Events for weddings or even parties! They are amazing!

A hidden gem
I’m SO thankful we found Northern Stacks Events for our wedding. We originally planned to have our wedding at a different venue but decided to switch gears to Northern Stacks two months before our big day. Jesse and Kim are so easy going, yet organized and helpful. They are quick to respond with answers to any questions or concerns during the planning process.
The space is absolutely stunning and they give you the freedom to make it your own. We really valued the super convenient parking as well as the ability to utilize both indoor and outdoor space. Our guests were blown away, many said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to!

Thank you Jamie! It was great to work with you, Erik, and your family throughout the process. We loved your use of greenery throughout the space, it really stood out against the brick.
