History
Built in 1892, this “castle-like” mansion has rich history but also a progressive style. Mr. Van Dusen was an entrepreneur who founded the first and most prosperous grain firm in 1883, and the estate remained with his family for decades. After being abandoned around 1940, a heroic investor saved the mansion from being demolished and restored it back to its original splendor.

Reviews of The Van Dusen Mansion
Review summary
The Van Dusen Mansion receives glowing reviews from various couples who held their weddings there. The venue is described as stunning, with a fairytale-like atmosphere and rich historical charm. Multiple reviewers praised the exceptional service provided by the team, particularly Monica, who is commended for her professionalism, attention to detail, and assistance throughout the planning process and on the day of the event. Guests were impressed by the beautiful decor, romantic ambiance, and seamless execution of weddings at the venue, making it a highly recommended choice for couples seeking a stress-free and unforgettable wedding experience.
The Best Wedding Venue For Your Perfect Day
They also helped throughout the entire day—needed a steamer? They had it. Help setting up decorations? No problem. Were they able to execute our dream wedding? Absolutely. When you have family and guests still talking about how great it was weeks afterward, you know you made the right choice. Any stress I had was immediately eased after connecting with them.
Monica, in particular, went above and beyond to ensure our day was a success. As an out-of-town bride, I was worried about how the logistics would play out. Monica and the rest of the team worked with me every step of the way to make sure we had a perfect wedding. Beyond the venue being absolutely stunning (you feel like a princess!), the service and amenities were above and beyond.
I can't thank them enough and would highly recommend the Van Dusen for any couple looking to host a beautiful and stress-free wedding

Jennifer and her staff at the Van Dusen Mansion are an absolute joy to work with. I've done many events in many spaces and the Van Dusen is by far one of the most pleasant to service. Beautiful spaces and the staff is on top of every little detail from start to finish of the event. While there are many beautiful event spaces in the Twin Cities, the event staff can make or break your special day. Rest assured you'll be well taken care of if you should choose to host your event at the Van Dusen!
