The Perfect Space for your Wedding Day!

I can not say enough nice things about The Jerome! The most professional and friendly staff that goes the extra mile to help. They had everything we were looking for not to mention, GORGEOUS! A perfect balance of unique, rustic, and perfectly arranged space to keep your wedding day organized and on time! Thank you so much Raleigh and your amazing team! We had the best experience.

The absolute best!!

We definitely would recommend The Jerome to anyone and everyone! The modern industrial setting was perfect for us and we especially loved the layout of the building. Having everything we needed in one space without worrying about transporting guests was perfect. Also, having a coordinator to work closely with was a life saver! Raleigh is flexible, knowledgable, and creative, and the day truly would not have gone as smooth as it did without her. With a hotel and bar close by, preferred vendors listed, and an airbnb for us to stay in the night of, The Jerome checked all of our boxes and we are so glad we chose to have our wedding here!

The jerome is the best!

I could not recommend The Jerome Center more!! Lynn and Dale were SO EASY to work with. There were no hidden fees and everything was communicated up front and clearly. I could tell right away that they wanted what was best for us and our day. They emailed me often with updates and helpful tips. They gave us many local recommendations. The Jerome Center is a newer venue and definitely a special place. As they renovated the space they kept so many beautiful historic pieces as well as making it new- it is the perfect combination! The layout of The Jerome Center is the best! It is one large space divided with doorways separating the dance floor and tables. My husband and I had never visited Delano, but after touring The Jerome we soon found that it is such a special and beautiful city. If you’re looking for a budget friendly venue west of the twin cities- check out The Jerome Center!

Highly Recommend This Venue!

My Husband and I only have great things to say about The Jerome! We had our wedding ceremony and reception there and loved every second of it. We fell in love with the history, interior details, and overall feeling that The Jerome creates. It was a pleasure working with The Jerome team and we would highly recommend this venue to anyone getting married! The team is very kind and you can feel their passion for this business. They will not disappoint!!

Truly the best day ever

Words can't describe how happy I am that we chose to have our wedding at The Jerome. It really was the best day ever - thanks to Lynn + Dale and Abigail! We couldn't have asked for a better venue.

Honestly, finding a venue was the hardest part of wedding planning for us. I think we looked at 7 before finding The Jerome. Everything was either way out of our budget, not in a good location, didn't fit our style/vision or we felt like they were going to charge us with a bunch of hidden fees. The Jerome checked off all the boxes.

We got engaged in Oct 2018 and our wedding was July 17, 2021 so we had a long engagement which was nice that we so much time to find the vendors we wanted. We toured The Jerome March of 2020 (literally right before everything shut down due to COVID). I firmly believe everything happens for a reason and I'm so thankful we toured and booked with them when we did. Right when we walked in the doors I could tell it was the venue I wanted to get married. Lynn and Dale are two of the sweetest humans ever and the venue is STUNNING - they did such an amazing job at renovating the building. Plus it's in a great location - I love the small-town feel. The best part was my now husband loved it so, so we were sold!

Communication was great throughout the whole wedding planning process and leading up to our big day. Having great communication was important to me so I could feel stress free while planning. I was blown away with how beautiful the venue was set up with all of our decorations and centerpieces and with the ceremony and reception at the same location, it made it super easy for guests and they were quick at getting the room ready for dinner. Our guests all had a blast! Even with a few wedding crashers (which makes for a fun story to tell) I wouldn't have imagined our day going as perfect as it did.

I want to get married all over again just so we can go back to The Jerome! Highly recommend at least setting up a tour, you will fall in love like we did!

Truly Stunning Wedding Venue

We had our June 2021 wedding at the Jerome and could not be happier with how the event turned out! The space is beautiful and we absolutely fell in love with it from the first time we walked in to tour. The Jerome offers a gorgeous space that made the perfect back drop for our elegant day but is simple enough to fit a number of wedding aesthetics. We also absolutely loved all the historic details! Throughout the day we got SO MANY compliments on the venue. It was beautiful, comfortable, and functional. Finally, Lynn, Dale, and Abigail were excellent to work with. They were very communicative and super helpful during set up and tear down. The Jerome is a stunning venue and the ease of the experience of planning our wedding there really was the cherry on top of our big day. We 100% recommend having your wedding or large event here!

P.S. There were no hidden fees or surprises either. Very transparent contract. So great on that front as well!

Gorgeous Venue, Phenomenal Service!

My husband and I got married at The Jerome on August, 29th 2020.

When we started the venue search a year prior, we were having trouble finding exactly what we wanted in the Minneapolis area. The moment I walked in to The Jerome, I knew it was something incredibly special. The rich history, unique original details and the modernized touches create the perfect balance for a beautiful wedding space. It is warm, inviting, spacious and breathtaking! There was no question The Jerome was the spot for us.

The owners, Lynn and Dale are the kindest and the most hard-working people you will ever meet. Planning a wedding from out-of-state could have been very challenging, but they made the entire process a breeze! They showed professionalism, kindness, thoughtfulness, and phenomenal assistance. Our original wedding date was May 23rd, but we ended up postponing due to COVID. They were extremely flexible, helpful and accommodating during and after choosing our new date.

Our wedding day was beautiful! I am still hearing from our guests how impressed they were with The Jerome. My husband and I still can’t get over how truly perfect it was for us. Thank you, Lynn and Dale, from the bottom of our hearts! You made our dreams a true reality and we will forever be grateful.

Fabulous Owners, Gorgeous Venue

Lynn & Dale were so fantastic to work with! I was the planner for my friend’s wedding. I work as a Private Event Sales Director in Colorado as my full time job so I’m used to being on the venue side of things. They were so communicative. When the photographer fell through and we had to find a new one last minute Lynn was walking around Delano taking photos on her iPhone texting me all the best locations around to show the photographer. When a guest fell outside on the sidewalk she was quick to get me the first aid kit and help out. The renovations are stunning, the owners are fabulous. It was such a great event from start to finish! I couldn’t recommend the Jerome more!

The Jerome Review

My wife and I recently got married and had our reception at the Jerome Center, it was such an incredible experience. The Jerome is a beautiful venue, and the restored building with modern touches made it astonishing. Every guest was amazed with the venue and all the decorations supplied by the Jerome, family members, and other vendors such as Phos Lighting. My wife and I only heard positive comments from guests!

It was a pleasure to work with Lynn and Dale! They were very accommodating to my wife and I’s wishes. They made sure that everything would go as planned, whether that meant stopping into the venue or talking over the phone, they were there willing to help! If an issue arose on the day of the wedding, Lynn was always there to assist.

My wife and I were extremely pleased with the venue and we would definitely recommend it to anyone in the area!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
