413 on Wacouta Event Center Reviews

413 was a perfect venue for our wedding! We had our ceremony at Mear's Park and it was a perfect transition. Britty made everything as smooth and easy as possible. The 2 ladies she had there on the Big Day acted as wedding planners to make sure I had no responsibilities. The venue looked gorgeous and we couldn't have asked for a better location for our 4th of July wedding!

In short, 413 is BEAUTIFUL and the perfect space for our reception. The location is convenient, and it’s also VERY affordable! The coordinator, Amber, was there for us every step of the way, and never missed an answer to any question we had. We got a welcome tour, final walkthrough, as well as vendor referrals, making the planning process SO much easier! I had been wanting this venue since we got engaged and was patient through Covid in order to have it! Amber with 413, a huge thank you goes out to you for making this happen for us!

I first saw 413 at a wedding show 2 days after I got engaged on Valentines Day, 2020, and I knew right away it was going to be the perfect venue for us. We looked at others, but none gave us the same excitement! We specifically liked the location, many of our guests were coming from out of state and the venue is conveniently located to hotels, the green line, airport, etc. The Gilbert building was a beautiful backdrop for many photos & the chandeliers in the ceremony & reception space gave it that extra pop. It ended up raining on the day, so we did many photos inside & in the skyway. We haven't gotten them back yet, but the previews looked great :) We received many compliments on the beautiful & unique reception space & ceremony room- and we were also thrilled! Katie & Brooke were both amazing to work with. They were easy to get ahold of, flexible, organized, positive, and just awesome at what they do. Overall, a beautiful, convenient, & fun venue in Lowertown St. Paul & we couldn't be happier!

Our wedding day was beautiful and went off without a hitch because Britty and her crew at 413 on Wacouta are AMAZING!
From the moment we stepped into 413 on Wacouta and first met with Britty, my husband and I knew we would be in good hands. From advice about vendors to all of the behind the scenes schedule management - Britty was there for us 100%.
The space is beautiful and really speaks for itself. We made just enough decorations to accent what was already there. Otherwise, Britty's ability and willingness to adjust lighting and the floor plan to match our image of the day, made the space come alive.
Nothing can fully prepare you for the swirl of emotions felt on your wedding weekend, but my husband and I felt so secure and supported by Britty and her staff at 413 on Wacouta. We are beyond thankful for all they did for us and highly recommend them!

We needed a venue large enough to accommodate our group but with an intimate and elegant feel. 413 on Wacouta did not disappoint!! We had 3 months to plan and execute everything! The venue is so beautiful that very little decorations were needed. We chose Sterling Catering (Sarah) and we had Toni (413 on Wacouta) as our coordinator. Oh. My. Goodness. EVERYTHING went without a hitch. These people know their stuff and leave NOTHING up to chance! We were communicated with in a timely fashion during the planning stage. They all took notes on what we wanted and how we wanted it. We never had to wait to have a question answered. As the bride, I thought that there might be something that was required of me on my wedding day. But EVERYTHING was taken care of!! We would HIGHLY recommend 413 on Wacouta for your wedding and/or your event. Be prepared to be spoiled! -JackieRead Less

413 on Wacouta is the best wedding venue for all your needs. It's beautiful with a convenient location and affordable pricing options. Britty helps you every step of the way and is so organized, not to mention super fun to work with! We felt so fortunate to have had the best experience and would highly recommend this venue!!

We loved this venue! We looked long and hard for a venue that had the industrial vibes but also felt very cozy and this space was the perfect fit. Britty works very hard to make sure your special day is perfect and for the day of takes over all vendor contact so you can have the best day ever. Our favorite part was the reception space with the limestone walls. Our guests loved the space. We really wanted to have an open bar and were able to afford this with 413's BYOB bar option. You get to take really cool pictures on the rooftop, and there are a ton other spots for great photos. OH also, you can rent a nearby lot to make parking for your guests super easy! Overall it is an amazing fun space that you can add a ton of your own flair to if you want! You'll love working with Britty, and have a flawless wedding day!

We had our ceremony and reception at 413 on July 14, 2018, and we also utilized 413’s BYOB bar package. We reserved the space well in advance and Britty was consistently responsive and helpful in the over-a-year leading up to our date. The space itself was so beautiful that it needed very little added decoration, so we just added some photos and some flowers. Britty and Toni provided day-of venue coordination and were just fabulous. Everything went off without a hitch and Britty even tracked down a pliers when I had a shoe emergency calling for one! Our guests repeatedly commented on how cool the space was, and I couldn’t have asked for a better day. Thanks, 413!

I was very skeptical when we began searching for a venue for our wedding that we would be able to find a place that was both affordable and beautiful. When we toured 413 on Wacouta, my husband and I both knew that we had found our venue. We had been looking for a location where we could have both the ceremony and reception. All the places we had toured before that had offered this required the room to be flipped to get it ready for the reception. The set-up at 413 made the whole evening flow seamlessly by having a ceremony room upstairs and a room to have the reception downstairs. Both rooms are decorated elegantly and are ready to be used just as they are.

By far, the biggest benefit to choosing 413 was Britty. I felt so much pressure alleviated with planning everything because she was there every step of the way, listening to our wants, making recommendations, answering questions, calming our nerves. It was like having a built-in wedding planner who held our hand through the entire planning process. Britty not only helped with the planning of the wedding, but she was there on the day itself, making sure everything ran smoothly, ensuring guests knew where to go, collecting the gifts for us, moving pictures from the ceremony to the reception hall. We didn’t have to worry or even think about any of these tasks and neither did the members of our families.
We had the wedding of our dreams on July 1, 2018 and 413 on Wacouta is what helped to make that dream come true!

This was the perfect venue for our winter wedding. Ceremony and reception in one building, cozy fireplace in the getting-ready space, and an incredible, helpful team that was always available from scheduling our first visit to after the last song of the night.

We were so happy with how our wedding turned out. Britty and her team were awesome and made the process so easy. We didn't have to worry about anything on our wedding day! We had so many compliments on our beautiful everything was including the venue. It was great that hotels were nearby and guests could easily travel to the hotel and venue. The big things that sold us on the venue were the option to bring in our own alcohol which saved us a ton of money as an open bar was a must. There are two separate rooms, one for the ceremony and one for the reception which saved on the hassle of a room flip which we would have had to do at so many other venues. And there were plenty of spaces for taking photos. We didn't want to waste time traveling around as we wanted to be a part of everything as much as possible. Loved, loved, LOVED!

We chose 413 Wacouta after our first visit. The space (both ceremony and reception) were beautiful, intimate and perfect for what we envisioned on our wedding day. We were not let down - Britty and her staff were top notch - responsive to questions and very professional. We appreciated the direction during rehearsal and the ability ( due to the venue not being booked the night before) to set up the night before. We had a photo booth on the main level , which was the perfect space and allowed our guests to move around some. We received nothing but compliments on the space and people loved the location. We would highly recommend 413 for your wedding.

WE LOVE THIS VENUE!!!! Britty is amazing to work with, the venue is beautiful and we would highly recommend them!

My husband and I just got married this July and we chose to host our wedding at the 413 after looking at tons of other venues. The space is so incredibly warm and intimate, and is centrally located in downtown St. Paul, so most of our guests could easily walk from their hotel to our wedding. Britty was AMAZING to work with! She was not only extremely responsive and helpful during the entire planning process, but on the day of our wedding, she took charge and I felt like I didn't have to worry about anything. Toni was also fabulous on the day of our wedding! She took the lead after Britty went home for the night.
Overall, if you are a looking for an extremely intimate and beautiful venue with an owner/manager that is helpful, organized, and personable... then the 413 is exactly what you are looking for! Having our wedding there was the BEST decision we made.

Where do I begin... from the moment we stepped into 413 on Wacouta we could tell it was special. The entryway and vintage brownstone style was stunning. The ceremony space was perfectly intimate, charming, and upscale. The bridal suite was chic and the space for the groomsmen was huge. Once we took the elevator down to the reception space we knew it was our favorite. The exposed limestone walls, wood and steel beams, custom up-lighting, chandeliers, it all added up to the cozy, intimate, unique, formal and historical wedding we imagined. Beyond the stunning space, Britty and her staff were amazing to work with. Throughout the planning process, Britty was responsive as super helpful in answering my questions. During the rehearsal and the day of our wedding we felt taken care of. I don't think I lifted a finger on my wedding day which was important with my high anxiety personality. You cannot go wrong booking 413 on Wacouta for you wedding. You will not regret it and like us, you will experience the best day of your lives. We wish we could move in to 413 on Wacouta because it is our new happy place :)

Above and Beyond service...email responses and tips are extremely quick! Beautiful building with many features to really customize your wedding and how you want it to look. Britty, Owner and Coordinator, is amazing and very helpful and easy to work with. If you're not a planner and have no desire to be she will make everything very simple for you!

Without a doubt the best decision we made was to have our wedding at 413 on Wacouta. Britty and her staff are simply the best. From the moment we met, I knew it was the right fit. All of the vendor recommendations that we received from Britty were amazing, they spoke so highly of their experience working at 413 on Wacouta, and were genuinely excited to return to the venue, such reassuring feedback. Our wedding day was beautiful from start to finish. The day was so stress free and flawless, I truly couldn't have imagined it any better. I have received so many compliments on the venue, and the staff from my guests. My only complaint is that I can't do it all over again! Thank you so much for everything, and making our special day so perfect!

We loved this venue from the minute we first walked in, and it was perfect for our wedding! The spaces for the ceremony and reception are unique-historical but with all the modern amenities. Britty and her staff are phenomenal!!! They took care of every detail, so we didn't have to worry about anything except enjoying the day. We highly recommend 413 on Wacouta!

413 has an amazing space and checks all the boxes. Where they stand out from the rest is the people! Britty and her team went above and beyond at every turn to make sure we were happy and things went smooth. We loved our event!

Britty and her staff are amazing. Every question we had, she answered in detail and made us feel like everything was taken care of for our big day and then some. She really goes above and beyond to make sure things go smoothly and help couples get more time to focus on what is important during their wedding day - all the love! We can't thank Britty and 413 enough for everything they did. We feel so grateful and fortunate that we picked 413.

Britty and her staff made our September 3rd, 2016 wedding day amazing. Everything went according to plan and we credit that to the 413 on Wacouta staff. The first time we toured the facility we knew this was where we wanted to have our Wedding reception. Besides deciding to get married, booking 413 on Wacouta was one of the best decisions we made :) Britty is an expert at what she does. She is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to Wedding planning and she responds to emails within 24 hours (usually it is within the hour). We had Green Mill Catering, Glam Doll Donuts, Muddy Paws Cheesecake, and Sweet Pea Floral as vendors which were all recommended by Britty. All of the vendors are use to doing weddings at 413 on Wacouta so it made coordination very simple. I could tell all of these vendors loved doing weddings at 413 and I would guess it is due to Britty and her staff. Thank you 413 on Wacouta for all your help and making our Wedding day perfect! -Lauren and Chad

Britty was amazing to work with! Throughout the whole process she was always there - she went above and beyond to help us organize our day! We were living in Rochester while planning and she worked with us and our schedules to make sure we were able to get in and see the venue. She was very responsive to our emails and was very organized and efficient. On our wedding day, Britty worked magic at getting things done. She was unobtrusive and unnoticeable, but left nothing undone. We received so many compliments from our guests about the beautiful venue (ceremony and reception space) and how smoothly everything ran. The rest of her staff worked just as hard to make sure that we had an amazing experience! I truly had nothing to worry about on my wedding day thanks to Britty and her amazing team!

413 on Wacouta Event Center was a dream-come-true wedding reception site. Britty, owner of 413 and the wedding coordinator, is outstanding! Her organization, efficiency, and passion for weddings made the wedding planning process a breeze. We highly recommend 413 on Wacouta for any couple looking for an enjoyable and gorgeous wedding. Our guests are still complimenting us on our reception site, and yours will too! Thank you Britty and 413 staff for making our June wedding more than we ever could have imagined.

413 on Wacouta was the first and only wedding venue we toured - after seeing the beautiful facility and meeting Britty, we immediately knew we'd get married there. The venue itself has the classic 'St. Paul' feel and is absolutely gorgeous inside and out. We had about 80 people at our wedding/ reception and the venue provided a very cozy and fun atmosphere. Working with Britty was amazing- she has so much advice about weddings which made planning a breeze. She was also incredibly responsive to the numerous questions we had. Having people like Britty and Toni who have worked around weddings for what seems like a century, provided so much peace of mind that it was impossible to not enjoy every second of our special the day. We look back to our May 2016 wedding with so many good memories and happiness. Thank you Britty and Toni!

I hosted my wedding and reception at 413 on Wacouta and the event was perfect. All 150 guests fit into the space for an intimate ceremony. All of the preparation space Britty has available worked perfectly for our group - we had a wedding party of 8 plus the bride & groom. Downstairs our reception was a seated meal all I received rave reviews from several guests. The atmosphere and lighting is intimate and beautiful, with a slight vintage feel with the exposed limestone and rustic wood ceilings. The dance floor next to the bar was a great set-up for our guests. Britty was an absolute JOY to work with and made the whole process stress-free and fun. She and her staff were professional, kind, attentive, gracious. Given another opportunity, I would DEFINITELY choose to host my wedding at 413 on Wacouta again. I would recommend this venue and Britty to anyone looking to have a classy, mid-sized wedding celebration.
