The Georgian Revival-style home was purchased by the American Association of University Women (AAUW) in 1949 and remains under it’s ownership to this day, continuing to welcoming guests for private events and weddings. To honor AAUW, a portion of the proceeds from every event is donated to support their mission.

Our dream venue
The St. Paul College Club was a total DREAM. We toured a lot of venues around the Twin Cities, but nothing compared to St. Paul College Club. It is a GORGEOUS house, with many areas for guests to spread out and talk to many people, versus just having to be at their tables all night. The location is stunning - right on historical Summit Avenue in St. Paul. There's also a beautiful backyard you have access to (it snowed on our October wedding day, so we weren't out there much) that is a gorgeous extension of the house. This venue is stately while also being extremely cozy, and feels secluded, even with being less than 10 minutes from downtown St. Paul.
A big reason we chose St. Paul College Club was the ability to make our reception exactly how we wanted. I did not want a band or DJ, just a playlist. They have an awesome audio setup you can bundle in, including a projector. You can also bring all of your own alcohol for the bar, which was another way for us to really make it our own, by only bringing the items we wanted to serve. The staff was also just flexible with how we wanted the rooms setup, the schedule to run, and how the decorations were done (sidenote: they have a decorator who will setup everything for you, you just drop it all off!). Their in-house chef is incredible, (and took out the necessity for us to choose a caterer) and I got SO many compliments on the food.
Meet with them - their schedule fills up quickly!

Beautiful reception space
The Saint Paul College Club was the perfect reception venue for our wedding!! I can’t say enough good things about them! The space was beautiful, we received multiple compliments from our guests on how delicious the food was, we were able to bring in our own liquor, and the staff was amazing. It was fun that the event space is a mansion, our guests loved exploring the variety of rooms. We were able to drop off our decorations a few days before and they were able to set up for us, which was a huge help! Jenny P. the event coordinator, was wonderful to work with and helped make our day so special!!
