About

Big City Feel. Small Town Pricing.

You don't want a barn. You don't want a downtown Minneapolis venue charging $25,000 just for the room. You want what is in between: historic, urban, original architecture, real space, real pricing. That is The 3 Ten.

The building at 310 Central Avenue North in Faribault, Minnesota has been standing since 1895. For decades it sat unused. In 2017 we bought it and spent years bringing it back. Original pressed tin ceilings salvaged and cleaned. Hardwood maple floors refinished to their original grain. Brick walls uncovered from behind decades of drywall. A handcrafted bar built from reclaimed wood pulled out of the building during the restoration. We did not build a wedding venue that looks old. We brought an old one back.

The 3 Ten has two independent bookable spaces, each with its own character.

The Ballroom, at street level, seats up to 430 guests for a reception under original pressed tin ceilings and crystal chandeliers. Exposed brick on every wall. A private alley patio just outside. A customizable lighted marquee sign with the couple's names out front on Central Avenue.

The Rooftop Loft, on the upper level, holds up to 150 guests for a reception and opens onto a 1,700-square-foot open-air rooftop patio with views of the Faribault skyline. Own street entrance. Own handcrafted bar. Two fully furnished private getting-ready suites. A brick-lined Atrium at street level for ceremonies or cocktail hours. Elevator access.

The people who will answer your inquiry are the same three people who own this building and restored it. No call center. No account rotation.

Pricing starts at $3,500. Thirty-five minutes south of Minneapolis. Open vendor, LGBTQ+ welcoming, pet friendly. A Knot Hall of Fame venue.

Ballroom wedding

We had our wedding at 3 ten in September and absolutely loved it! The space is modern and beautiful. Our coordinator, Emily, was amazing and took care of everything for us. Everyone who worked our event was kind and professional.

BEST Wedding Venue in Minnesota

We got married at The 3 Ten Event Venue Rooftop Loft in September, 2024. Let me tell you - it was absolutely perfect. We are so glad that we picked The 3 Ten for our wedding. The Loft space is perfect for a smaller group (we had about 75 people at our wedding), especially with three distinct spaces all included in the Loft space. We loved having the ability to use the rooftop patio, so much that we held our ceremony, cocktail hour, and part of our reception outside. In addition, The 3 Ten offers reasonably priced add-on's to your base charge. We included a set of nice lounge furniture for guests to relax during the reception and cafe lights to create a cool vibe throughout the whole venue. What really blew us away was the staff. Our day-of-coordinator, Tina, truly went above and beyond to make our wedding perfect. Before our wedding, she was super responsive to our many questions and communicated with all of our vendors to ensure everything would run smoothly on the big day. She also met with us for nearly 2 hours a few weeks before the wedding to ensure we were on the same page with all the little details. On the wedding day, Tina (and Sammie) spent all morning setting up our decor and configuring the space just as we had agreed. Throughout the day, Tina helped to make sure we were on schedule, that the ceremony went perfectly, and that all the moving pieces (e.g., room flips) were happening as expected. Tina stayed late into the evening (around midnight) to help pack everything up after guests had already left. Wedding planning is insanely stressful and Tina brings such a calming presence to a busy and stressful time of life. Tina absolutely rocks - and you should 100% request for her to be your day-of-coordinator too. You won't regret working with her! If we had to go back and plan our wedding all over again, we would absolutely be choosing The 3 Ten for our venue!

Amazing Wedding Venue!

The staff at The 3 Ten Event Venue was amazing throughout the whole planning process and the event. It made the planning process extremely easy. We were able to ask a million questions and tour the venue multiple times to make sure everything would be perfect. All of my guests were saying how beautiful the venue was! I'd highly recommend this venue to anyone.

The 3 Ten is beautiful!

The 3 Ten was the perfect place for our wedding! The brick walls alone are reason enough to love the venue — as they make the perfect backdrop for wedding photos. The wooden tables, bridal and groom’s suites, outside alley, vintage lights, high ceilings — and the beautiful brick walls —all help create a timelessly classic ambiance that is sure to be memorable. We loved having our wedding at The 3 Ten, and we will cherish our memories at the venue forever. The wedding industry is expensive. It’s unfortunate, but that’s the way it is for anything nice nowadays. The only critique we have for The 3 Ten regards extra fees. It seems funny to ask couples to pay hundreds of extra dollars (on top of the thousands and thousands and thousands we already pay) to keep lights up behind the head table and curtains on the windows when they are already set up. They will literally pay someone to take them down if you don’t pay the extra fee. Once you get past that — because I think that’s common everywhere — The 3 Ten is wonderful. Our wedding day was perfect and having our reception at The 3 Ten made it even more special. So many venues are just large spaces with tables and chairs. The 3 Ten has character and charm — and we loved that!

Professional, transparent, beautiful

If you want compliments for weeks about having to most beautiful wedding venue, pick 3ten. They are transparent about pricing and answer all questions so you know what you will get and how much it will be. The staff was professional and things went off without a hitch.

Industrial & Chic!

We got married at 3Ten in November! Jenny, Tina and their staff were phenomenal in communication, professionalism, and care!

Tina was our day of coordinator and we were so well taken care of!

The venue itself is BEAUTIFUL, from the exposed brick to the details they have in their “getting ready room” we were not without a spot to take pictures on our wedding day!

I suggest you tour this beautiful space, you won’t be disappointed ♥️

Can’t recommend enough!!!

Can’t recommend the 3 Ten Event Venue enough! We rented out the 3 Ten Event Venue to host our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception of ~350 guests. The 3 Ten is beautiful and is great for wedding party photos onsite, or in the surrounding area of downtown historic Faribault, MN. The staff made our wedding day a breeze. Definitely worth checking out!

Wonderful Experience: The 3 Ten Event Venue

My husband and I couldn't be happier with how our day went. The 3 Ten Event Venue was the perfect space for us. We got married in the smaller venue of the two - the rooftop loft, and it was absolutely beautiful. The space itself had so much character, we hardly needed any added decor. We opted to pay a bit extra for the string lights and it made such an impact. Jenny was so communicative and helpful with all of my questions throughout the time leading up to our big day. We paid extra for a day of coordinator and we were assigned to Tina and she was amazing. She was so organized and made our day so seamless. She handled anything and everything and we couldn't have been more pleased with our experience. I initially found The 3 Ten Event Venue on The Knot and one reviewer said it was a "hidden gem" and I couldn't agree more. Highly recommend this venue.
