The Luminare

What is The Luminare:

The Luminare is a brand new Wedding + Event Venue located in Minneapolis, Minnesota that offers a minimalist, industrial modern warehouse vibe that is the perfect customizable blank canvas for any event. With over 11,000 square feet of a totally open flor plan, the venue can host a number of different types of nuptial events including ceremonies, receptions, engagement parties, wedding showers, day after brunches, and rehearsal dinners. The space can accommodate smaller more intimate gatherings, or larger parties of up to 275 guests seated, or 500 reception style.

Interior aesthetics are driven by the abundance of beautiful natural day-time light throughout from the many windows and skylights, and at night, the interior glows from the overhead cafe lights, colorful accent up lighting, and of course the tabletop candles. The 26 foot tall ceilings and white walls add to the illumination effect, which is what inspired our venue name, The Luminare.

Why book at The Luminare:

The day is all about you, celebrating something ultra special with your significant other, families and friends. We are here to provide you with exceptional service, and help you have the best event possible from start to finish. Our team has many years of experience in wedding planning, and will offer guidance not only about the venue details, but of the entire wedding process, if you should need it. You can bring in any licensed caterer or Food Truck, so you get just the culinary experience you are looking for, be it formal or fun. Also, you can also bring in your own alcohol (it is just served from our preferred bartending company), but will save a bunch of time and money and give you full control of the items provided to your guests.
