We recently had our wedding reception at the Water Street Inn (May 2015), and we couldn't have asked for a better venue. The location was absolutely perfect, the vintage/antique feel of the hotel was great fit for our vintage themed wedding, the staff was friendly, and the Event Director, Allison Young, was absolutely fabulous! Allison was there was every step of the way for planning our wedding, and was always on top of things. She should have had another title of Wedding Planner, because she was so helpful and had great recommendations and tips for us. She also had everything planned so that in case we couldn't have our wedding outside at the Lowell Park Gazebo, that we could easily move it indoors to the ballroom at the Water Street Inn. All of the staff was always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that our wedding was successful and that all the guests were comfortable. The wedding party, among others, enjoyed having the pub located right in the hotel, and the bartenders at the pub were friendly and accommodating. We had so many compliments about how great the food was, including salads, steak, chicken and walleye.

Overall, the venue was beautiful, accommodating, and charming with great food, a wonderful staff, and fabulous view of the St. Croix River. We couldn't give the Water Street Inn anything less than 5 stars, and we would recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married in Stillwater, MN!!

We had the best time planning and having our wedding (ceremony & reception) at the Water Street Inn. Allison was very helpful and straightforward throughout the process. She was always quick to respond to all of our questions, and it was great to have someone who knew the process and the venue so well. The space was beautiful, and the food was great. All of the staff were friendly and accommodating. Both my new husband and myself would highly recommend the Water Street Inn as a wedding venue!

This historic inn was an amazing backdrop for our special day. The team was awesome -- they were responsive to our needs, including helping us with our meat raffle! The reception hall at night was prettier than I could have imagined. The soft lighting was perfect. We also got so many compliments on the food -- the steak and walleye were cooked perfectly. All of our guests were extremely impressed as too often, when cooking for 180+, the quality isn't there. Plus, it was a great value. For the rental of the reception hall, we also received the six rooms above it including the bridal suite. It was so wonderful that my husband and I could put our grandparents and parents up for the night.

We would recommend the Water Street Inn to anyone looking for a gorgeous backdrop with an attentive staff along the picturesque St. Croix river.
