The Landmark Center was the most perfect setting for our ceremony and reception. It is incredibly beautiful, the staff is organized, professional, and easy to work with, and our guests were impressed with the beauty of the building. We used courtrooms for our get ready rooms and they were perfect for elegant family photos. The turn over time from ceremony to reception was flawless while we had cocktail hour on the 2nd floor. Honestly, we barely needed any decorations because the setting is just so wonderful. It couldn't have been a more perfect venue. The value is amazing. The whole night was simply magical. We highly recommend The Landmark Center!!!!

My daughter recently had her wedding at Town and Country Club, and there was only one word to describe the event ..... PERFECT! Their special event and catering director Emma was so wonderful to work with. She was very organized and helped take the stress out of wedding planning. Everyone we worked with at Town and Country Club was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The chef was amazing! When we went to the tasting, he presented such beautiful and tasty plates of food, and he promised every plate served on the wedding day would look just as wonderful. And he was right! The food was amazing!! We chose walleye, boneless short rib, and parmesan chicken as our main entrees. All three meal choices were excellent, and people are still talking about how delicious and generous the food was and how beautifully it was presented. It was definitely not your typically wedding food. The other compliment we have been hearing over and over from our guests was how beautiful the venue and grounds were. We were fortunate to have gorgeous weather so we had a wonderful outdoor social hour. The lush green lawn and colorful flowers made everything look that much more festive and were a perfect backdrop for wedding photos. The indoor area was just as wonderful. The room was spacious, had a generous dance floor and bar area, and lots of beautiful woodwork and large chandeliers. The whole west side of the room had huge windows that overlooked the river and downtown skyline. The only decorations we added were some flowers, candles and greenery on the tables. I am so glad my daughter and son-in-law chose Town and Country Club for their wedding venue. It was so much easier to have a venue that provided everything, rather than having to coordinate separate catering and alcohol providers, rent linens, tables/chairs, lighting, sound systems, etc. I give Town and Country Club my highest recommendation.

We truly could not have asked for a better wedding reception experience. From start to finish, everything was phenomenal, and we loved every part of working with this venue. The ballroom was stunning — elegant, spacious, and beautifully set up with gorgeous décor that made the entire room feel warm and elevated. The views were incredible and created the perfect backdrop for both photos and the overall atmosphere of the evening. The food deserves special recognition — it was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and our guests are still talking about how good it was. Every course was served seamlessly and right on time. Our coordinator was phenomenal. She was organized, calm, and attentive, making sure every detail was handled so we could fully relax and enjoy our night. The staff overall was professional, kind, and incredibly attentive. From a value standpoint, this venue exceeded every expectation. The level of service, quality, and attention to detail we received made the experience feel incredibly worthwhile. Between the beautiful space, amazing food, and seamless coordination, it truly felt like an investment in a stress-free, unforgettable day—and I would choose this venue again in a heartbeat. This venue played such a huge role in making our wedding day unforgettable. If you’re considering hosting your reception here, I cannot recommend it enough — it was truly perfect in every way!! :)🤍

The food was out of this world! The chef did an outstanding job! I received exceptional comments on the portions, taste, and overall quality from at least 3/4 of my guests - we had a 260 person guest list that evening. The venue was large enough for us to have 8-person tables, so everyone was comfortable, the decor was beautiful, and the facility was equiped with everything we needed including several bars, numerous restrooms, a wonderful house sound system, and plenty of servers/personnel to keep things running. On top of all that, the price was very reasonable as well :-) WHAT A WONDERFUL PLACE!

We loved having our wedding at the DoubleTree! From the food at Axes, to the shuttle service for photos, everything went extremely well. I was worried due to a little rain but Kim (our coordinator for that day) was outside wiping tables and making sure my husband and I had everything we needed to have the most perfect event. The bar was excellent and everyone who served food was timely and professional. I would 100% recommend having your big day here ❤️

Our wedding reception was beautiful here. The ability to be so close to downtown St. Paul was so much fun and there was a great backdrop for pictures. For us it was important to have a great venue that didn't need extra draping or uplighting, which we got here. The venue was beautiful all on its own. In addition to the great space, the team was fantastic. Every time I had a question Brittany was willing to chat it through and make adjustments when needed. The day of team was also great. Would definitely recommend this venue.

My husband and I are beyond grateful for everything the team did—both on our wedding day and in the weeks leading up to it. When you're planning a wedding, everyone tells you to expect that something will go wrong. But, I can honestly say that nothing went wrong. Jessica and the entire day-of team were absolutely incredible. She handled every detail seamlessly and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran perfectly. I didn’t have a single moment of stress—any issue that came up was immediately taken care of by Jessica and her team. We truly feel so lucky to have found Fab Weddings @ Royal Cliff and are so thankful we trusted the company with our big day. It was perfect, and we owe so much of that to all of them. and p.s the food was so good. People are still talking to us about it ☺️

The Mermaid doesn’t look the grandest from the outside, but it has an event center with two ballrooms. We chose the Coral Bay Ballroom since it had been recently remodeled, and it was BEAUTIFUL. Perfect spot for a wedding reception that didn’t break the bank! They did have a food/beverage minimum that we were required to meet with their catering company, but we didn’t have an issue with that. Natallia worked with us, and despite some email delivery issues, and having a LOT on her plate due to COVID, she made sure everything worked out well for us. For instance, the menu prices had been raised from the time we booked to the next spring when we were choosing the buffet, and she gave us the old prices without a problem. She created a room layout plan for us so all the tables, easels for signs, card/gift tables, etc were right where we wanted them. The room also came with linens, silverware and napkins which was helpful, and we were able to order some appetizers for cocktail hour. They had a bar available, which we didn’t use, but I know there were plenty of options. The food was delicious and I know the guests enjoyed it!

The Mendakota Country Club is a beautiful venue and we had the vision for how beautiful the course would be in the early fall for our wedding when we toured in the dead of winter!! Our photos throughout the day in multiple locations throughout the venue are stunning with beautiful greenery and waterfronts. MCC checked every box for what we looked for in a venue, including (but not limited to): the opportunity for an outdoor ceremony and flexibility in having both indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the event including cocktail hour, onsite getting ready spaces, onsite catering with a variety of dinner options and a cohesive, one-level space (helpful and easy for family members with physical mobility issues) Adena was very responsive and by the end of our year and a half engagement, had responded to 200 emails, discussing details and answering questions for our big day! Jessica and Adena in partnership with our Day of Coordinator were able to manage many moving pieces and make our big day come together beautifully, and the waitstaff and barstaff were wonderful to work with. While we had a good experience overall with MCC, there were two day-of notes that did detract from our Big Day: We were told that the staff will “stop golfers” from teeing off at certain holes during the ceremony, however we had numerous golfers walk right behind our officiant during the ceremony and even one golfer approximately 15 feet from us saying our vows yelling to someone in the parking lot. While we understand it is a country club/golf course first and foremost, MCC charges couples a $1,200 onsite ceremony fee that should come with the expectations of no members on the first few holes of the course during the ceremony. During the reception, the temperature was not well maintained and by the time the dance floor was fully opened, all guests were profusely sweating. While there were industrial fans to help keep the room cool, it was not as effective as we would have liked, especially during an unseasonably warm day in mid-September.

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!
