Mansion Wedding Venues in Minnesota

The Minneapolis Club is the perfect choice! Ceremony, reception, dinner and dance. All in one stunning location with attached parking ramp for guests and hotel rooms for family. Jodie in catering is creative and easy to work with. Chef Hakan created the most amazing plated dinners (served hot!) to 200+ guests. Many guests told us it was the most fun and best food they've ever had at a wedding.

My husband and I recently used Summit Manor Reception House for our wedding reception. It was wonderful!!! The staff was friendly, helpful and professional! They did a great job keeping the events of the night flowing and moving along and we didn't have to worry about a thing! Also, the food was delicious, and they had a great variety of menus to choose from. Most of all, the owner, David, was SO accommodating, flexible and helpful!!! We had several special requests and he helped us with every one of them. Also, he was very helpful in planning the entire evening and helping our vision of the evening come true!! This is a beautiful place to have a wedding reception or any special occasion. It was perfect because people could be and do whatever they wanted throughout the evening. They could be outside or on the front porch talking and enjoying the beautiful weather, in the main room dancing, upstairs playing games or downstairs at the bar enjoying a drink! Absolutely EVERYONE enjoyed themselves!! Also, the cost is VERY affordable! There are several perks like they don't charge you to cut and serve the cake, you can bring in your own alcohol and they provide all the center pieces. Plus, you don't need to decorate because it is already such a beautiful setting. I would HIGHLY recommend using Summit Manor reception house!

The venue itself is gorgeous, but the incredible staff is really the reason to book here!! Tracy was amazing from the start, offering quick responses and timeline help as soon as we booked. Day of coordinators Mary Pat and Keelia did an amazing job executing my wedding vision. In addition, they only asked the absolutely necessary questions during the wedding day. Otherwise they just did their job creating no stress for me!! We had both our ceremony and reception in the Great Hall, and everything went smoothly because of the amazing staff. We had a hot chocolate bar during social hour and the turnover. I truly did not worry about a thing day of! So grateful to the staff. The food was delicious, and the wait staff was amazing at their jobs. They were both effective and kind! I also really appreciated that everything was through the venue! Food, linens, some decor, day-of-coordination, and even dessert. Mary Pat did an awesome job on our tiramisu! It was helpful that SPCC had table number holders, dessert stands, card table, etc. SPCC truly was a huge help in wedding planning and made the wedding day amazing!

Simply put, there is no better place to get married than the Van Dusen Mansion. The venue itself is stunning, seamlessly incorporating the beauty of the historic mansion that brought our vision of an elegant wedding day to life, with the natural immersion of the courtyard to deliver an unforgettable ceremony, with a perfect ballroom for dinner and carriage house for the party. The staff are incredible to work with- they're experts for a reason.

I am so happy I chose Equestria West as my wedding venue. All of the staff was so attentive and helpful. I always got fast responses while wedding planning and any concerns I had were immediately addressed. My wedding turned out more beautiful than I even imagined. So many of my guests told me how much they loved the venue. I wouldn't change a single thing!

When we first walked in this venue, we KNEW that this was the one. We had an outdoor ceremony and even though it rained, it still turned out amazing. The staff was amazing, and the venue was so accommodating. The suites are beautiful and it really made the wedding experience amazing!

I had been dreaming about having my wedding at ASI ever since I was a little girl and saw the Turnblad mansion for the first time! My dream came true on October 12, 2024! Our wedding day was everything we had hoped for and more. We booked our date 2 years prior because almost every date in the fall was booked out a year in advance for the 2023 season. We really enjoyed the tasting event we attended in February 2024, but after that we didn’t hear back from the venue about planning until just under 2 months before the wedding. A bit stressful, but once things got going we got it all done in time. Kim (catering director) was fabulous- she took the time to sit down with me to answer all of my questions, listen to my crazy ideas, and alleviate all my stress! She had so many wonderful suggestions for vendors to use- Buttercream Wedding Cakes, Mirror Me Perfect (photo-booth & audio guestbook), and Ignite Lighting (Go JD!). We had an A+ team and we were thrilled with how everything turned out. We unfortunately ran a bit behind schedule due to some miscommunication with our party bus company, but Kim had the brilliant last minute idea of having our first dances during cocktail hour before we went upstairs for dinner. My husband and I weren’t sure at first, but decided to trust Kim and just go with it! We are so glad we did!! Everyone was already outside in the courtyard, it was golden hour so the lighting was just perfect, and after dinner we were free to start the party! Thank you Kim for that suggestion and helping to ensure all of our wishes were met and everything ran smoothly. We cannot thank you enough! The best part about ASI is there are so many options and spaces to use, and they are extremely flexible with whatever you want to do. We got married at St. Constantine Ukrainian Church, which worked out great because we couldn’t access ASI until after 3pm (we were able to set up the ballroom around 12pm and the Fika cafe around 2pm) because of the museum hours. We had our cocktail hour in the Turnblad mansion and outside in the courtyard (we lucked out with an absolutely gorgeous Oct evening!), our dinner was upstairs in the Larson Hall, and cake/dancing was downstairs in the Fika Cafe. Many of our guests actually went back outside after dinner to continue enjoying the beautiful weather. Everywhere you went there was a party! We had over 200 guests, but it never felt cramped as people were mingling all over. Our guests were raving about how beautiful and unique the venue was. They loved getting to experience different parts of the venue rather than being stuck in one big banquet hall the entire night. If you’re thinking about booking a wedding at ASI-just do it!!! Autumn, Winter, Spring, or Summer- it’s the most magical venue in Minneapolis. The best part is we get to keep going back to experience the magic whether we’re having dinner at the Fika Cafe or touring the museum for the hundredth time :) We love you ASI! Thank you for making our Big Fat Ukie Scandi Wedding a success! C&J

My husband and I had our wedding at The Blaisdell in December 2022, and it was absolutely beautiful! When we first went to the venue for a tour, Janet was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and did a great job of helping us envision our wedding in the space. We decided to book the venue immediately after our tour, and we are so glad we did! It has the bright, clean vibe that we were looking for, and was more affordable than comparable venues in the area. It’s also really customizable to make your dream wedding vision come to life! Working with Kaira on the details for our wedding was also great! She was very helpful and responsive. I came to the walkthrough that we did about a month before the wedding with a ton of questions, and she answered them all before I could even ask! It was such a smooth, easy process on our end. We also loved that security was included, so we didn’t have to worry about anything! The venue is so beautiful for a winter wedding, very cozy but still spacious. We took a lot of photos outside, and it looked so beautiful with a little bit of snow on the ground! We also loved the mural on the side of the building for photos. We had our ceremony and reception in the ballroom, and the room flip during cocktail hour was totally seamless. We had a bar on the main floor and on the second floor during our cocktail hour, which was so nice to have more space for our guests and shorter lines for them to get drinks. We got so many comments from our guests on what a beautiful venue it was, and we were very happy with our choice to get married at The Blaisdell! Thank you Kaira, Janet, and Blaisdell staff for everything!!

The kind staff, the clean space & the option for indoor/outdoor ceremony is a win for me! A huge bonus is the amazing glam space- its large & they have space for everyone to get ready. The attention to detail & the organization that Julia puts into each event blows my mind! She is an absolute gem & I highly recommend booking this event space!

We got married at Semple, and there are so many great things to point out about it. It's a beautiful, historic mansion that's very cool and has lots of space. I think the best thing though was that everything could be done there. We got in at 9 AM and had it until 12 AM. That meant we got in right away to get the ballroom set up for dinner, had the hair stylist come on site to do hair and make up in the bridal suite, were there for pictures, ceremony in the foyer, cocktail hour in the lounge, and then dinner in the ballroom upstairs. Everything flowed so smoothly, and there's a lot less room for error when you don't have transition between sites. I think it made the day more enjoyable for me too and I got to be more in the moment. Overall communication was good. Katherine definitely knows her stuff and was willing to work with us on our vision for our day. There were little things that got dropped in communication. For example, I asked for an extra high top table in the ballroom for our favors and an extra 6 foot table in the lounge to display games. Those were confirmed in writing, but neither appeared the day of. Thankfully, Darek was the venue coordinator present in the morning when I caught it, and he promptly brought those where I needed them and helped me reorganize the ballroom a bit when I realized some of our original floor plan didn't work so well. Overall then, highly recommend, especially if you can make a Friday or Sunday work in a less peak season. You will absolutely get your money's worth and have an enjoyable day!
