We had a great time, wouldn’t change a thing.

Kaylie was very accommodating and made this experience easy. She was very helpful with providing information and making sure nothing was missed. And the day of the event, staff was wonderful, food was great. I will definitely recommend. Rachel was also very professional and helpful as well.

Excellent team, location, & value

The Marquette was our hotel for our wedding block, & as the bride & groom, we were given a corner suite as our ready room & wedding night room. Tessa & the team were easy to work with to reserve & modify our room block. The staff was incredibly thoughtful & helpful the day of our wedding. They were prompt delivering extra waters, a steamer, & bar stools to use for hair/makeup. Adding parking to our rooms & guest rooms was seamless. As a local, I had not had a reason to stay at The Marquette in the past, but now that we live out of state we will definitely stay here when we're home visiting!

Windows on MN- Best of the Best

Kailey Levin and the Windows on MN event staff are top notch. Couldn't have been better in helping us plan and deliver a better wedding day than we could have ever imagined. The space is obviously unique, but the staff brings it all together. Everyone was extremely helpful and the pre-wedding stress was kept to a minimum with Kailey on top of everything. We would recommend them to anyone looking to have a wedding that exceeds expectations in everyway.

Dream venue!

Windows on Minnesota was a dream wedding venue. The views are spectacular, and bad weather won't ruin your day! We were lucky enough to have a clear, sunny day to fully enjoy the panoramic views, but going into my wedding without having to worry about a rainy day backup option gave me major peace of mind. The Marquette's team was also great to work with. They were helpful and communicative all throughout our planning process, and everything ran smoothly on the big day. The food was great, the bartenders were efficient, and everything went perfectly. They were also flexible and helped us to plan a multi-cultural fusion wedding, which was extremely important to us. Finally, having a hotel right there, across Crystal Court, made it smooth and easy for out of town guests to get to the wedding without needing to arrange special transportation. I can't imagine a better wedding venue.

Book using promotions for incredible views and F&B on your Wedding day!

First helpful hint-ask about the promotions they offer! We saved some money on a wine pour, get ready room, comp suite with parking and upgrade dance floor (white was so pretty!)

We had Amazing Wedding 10/15/2022 at Windows on Minnesota! Started the day with a get ready room prepared by the hotel and added on breakfast for the wedding party on the 3rd floor which was so spacious and made PERFECT get ready photos! Groomsmen used a suite to get ready in and we loved having our own spaces to keep the morning calm and special for all of us. Our ceremony was off site, but used Stars for a cocktail space for our 200 guests which had perfect views and LOVE the passed mushroom arancini appetizer!! My only recommendation is adding an extra bar (3rd bar for us) so the lines are not long for your guests.

Our reception was in Galaxy and the plated dinner options were truly amazing with our chosen options of Beef short ribs, asiago chicken, pesto salmon (thank you Chef Evan and Chef Mike for making this an option!) and the mushroom risotto! I continue to hear from our guests that each dinner and pear salad was so good! Special shout our to Angel in Engineering for helping us with a special request!

The banquet staff Michael, Diane, Melissa, Grace, Ricarda, Randy, Mohamud and Milton were so kind and accommodating to our guests. We brought in Sammy's Sweet Cupcakes which avoided the $5 per person cake cutting fee and loved each flavor.

Sydney, Sarah and Scott were awesome with all our details and set ups along with communicating and updates that occurred. my husband and I were very chill and organized during the planning process and I know they juggle so many events.

It was the best day ever and thank the events team for making so many details come to life and allowing us to be carefree and enjoy our day! -Nate and Kat

Amazing experience

He had an amazing experience with Kyle and the team at Windows on Minnesota. Kyle was always quick to respond even though he wasn’t in the office everyday due to COVID. The food was excellent. We had the short ribs, and the mahi mahi and it was delicious. Everything was perfect, and we would highly recommend using this venue for your wedding.

Such a great venue and great experience!

All I can say is WOW! The whole team and staff were so organized and on top of things I cannot say enough good things about them. They took away all the stress of my wedding weekend and I felt relaxed knowing that everything was being taken care of and the day running so smoothly. All the guests raved about how good the food was from apps to salads and meals. The views were so amazing and guests got to see sights of Minneapolis they have never seen before! It was so nice to have the hotel connected and so close to the event space and made everything less work. You wont regret going with this space!

Above & Beyond! Fabulous Wedding Experience

2020 Covid lockdowns created a lot of challenges, cancellations, heartbreaks and significant decrease in customer service across so many businesses, but NOT Windows-on-MN. This venue truly was 'celebration exceptional'. It has a stunning photographic location, beautiful/ elegant facilities with multiple venue options, and delicious variety of food/beverage options. Our wedding experience was absolutely positive for ourselves and our guests due to the excellent professionalism, flexibility and 'can-do' approach to making our event spectacular and flawlessly smooth. Particularly during CV19 lockdown, the ability for guests to stay local in the adjoining hotel space was a real benefit and staff interactions courteous/ professional/ friendly. Planning all the details was accomplished very effectively and responsiveness to last minute needs or changes was drama free and efficiently managed. Access to the planning staff seemed like almost having a full-time dedicated team catering to our needs and guiding us through the process. Top notch experience in every aspect from the big planning concepts down to the smallest detail such as which ornate napkin ring to use. Our experience was wonderful throughout every interaction point AND on top, all performed fully maintaining all CV19 safety protocols for personnel, facilities, supporting resources (quartet, DJ, photographer, etc).
Simply Wow and Thank You Windows on Minnesota!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
