    Cannot recommend FIVE enough!

    We held our wedding reception at FIVE on 10/12/19. We booked the venue in August of 2018 after seeing a number of venues in the Twin Cities. Nothing compared to the modern/upscale industrial feel that FIVE has. Their price is unbeatable and they are so easy to work with. They have a lot of fantastic vendor partners and are willing to help you with any crazy or unique ideas that you may have (please see more details below). We originally did our planning with Shauna but after she moved we began working with Renee who was absolutely fantastic. She made us feel so calm and secure that our day would go just as we had hoped for. Cannot recommend FIVE enough!

    We had 175 guests, 20 guest tables, a pizza buffet, a photo booth, a dessert table and a popcorn bar table. FIVE did a fantastic job helping us coordinate all of our special requests (we had a mobile wood fire pizza oven for dinner and individualized MN craft beer flights).

    My husband and I had both our ceremony and reception held at FIVE Event Center, and we could not have asked for a better venue!

    FIVE is such a unique and beautiful space. The classic brick held over from the building's days as a police precinct provided a wonderful backdrop for our ceremony and pictures, and the architectural updates helped create a hip, modern atmosphere our guests absolutely loved. We wanted a venue that could host both our ceremony and reception, and FIVE handled it with ease. The upstairs accommodated our 140 guests for the ceremony, dinner, and dance, while the downstairs had enough space for guests to socialize as the staff quickly flipped the upstairs from ceremony to dinner. The on-site bridal suite was large enough for my bridesmaids to get ready, and had space for a makeup artist to be brought in.

    The area surrounding FIVE is amazing, also. Our guests loved exploring the neighborhood nearby, and our photographer found wonderful places for pictures right outside the venue.

    The staff at FIVE were absolutely amazing, especially our event coordinator Shauna. My husband and I never felt like a burden to the staff, and everyone was super helpful and friendly. Shauna responded to my many (and random!) questions in a timely fashion throughout our wedding planning process. Shauna and others were true professionals!

    My husband and I went with FIVE's preferred vendors for catering, DJ, and bar, and did not regret any of our choices! Green Mill Catering was absolutely delicious, everyone loved our Buttercream Bakery cake, bar services were fantastic, and Instant Request did a fabulous job entertaining our guests.

    You will not go wrong choosing FIVE Event Center for your wedding!

    We were so happy to have booked the FIVE for our reception and would not have chosen any other location. Danielle, Shauna, and everyone we encountered exemplified professionalism. Our needs we well addressed throughout the planning process. On the big day, Shauna was well accessible and made sure the entire evening flowed as seamlessly as possible. We simply cannot express how impressed and thankful we were about our time with Shauna and the FIVE. The beautifully renovated space is so well styled that it stood out on its own, requiring minimal added decor. The top floor housed our 200 guests comfortably. And above all, our guests loved being at the FIVE and we had so many inquiries about the space. Every aspect was perfect. We will always think fondly of this location and hope to return for any future event.

    We had such a wonderful experience in having our wedding at the FIVE Event Center! The space was absolutely stunning and Shauna, the event coordinator, was helpful every step of the way! Our guests loved the fun area as well as the multiple amenities the event center offers. Could not have asked for a better space or a better person to help us with this monumental day!

    FIVE event center totally nailed everything we wanted and more for our wedding day! I was an oddball bride as I have never been one to dream of a wedding day or be super into the planning process - yet I still had a vision and some important aspects I wanted our day to encompass. FIVE event center staff were beyond awesome, the ease of the planning and making changed up until the last minute was so amazing, and our guests loved the space just as much as we did! It is such a beautiful space that it needs minimal decorations - and the bars downstairs and upstairs are so convenient (especially upstairs - right by the dance floor!!). I cannot stress enough how great and easy Shauna made it leading up to the big day - and on our actual wedding day her and her assistant were so awesome as well! I will always recommend this place for events!

    This is an amazing wedding venue! We had our cocktail hour on the main level and dinner and dance upstairs. Our guests absolutely loved the venue and thought that it was a beautiful space. Shauna and the rest of the staff at FIVE were very responsive to all of our questions and extremely helpful on the day of our event. We had a wonderful experience!

    The staff there is very knowledgeable and thorough. They make your day your day. Shauna helped us get a keg of my husband's favorite seasonal beer. She also helped us make our day our day. I'm glad that we worked with them. They're rock stars.

    Our reception was flawless at FIVE. Shauna was so great about answering all my last minute questions, was so knowledgeable about bar service and in general was everything we could've asked for in a venue coordinator. We have received so many compliments on how gorgeous the space was and we had the most perfect night at FIVE. Thank you!

    FIVE Event Center was the perfect spot for our wedding reception! We fell in love with the venue the first time we walked in - the space was exactly what we were looking for. The wood floors, brick walls, modern décor, the two huge bars, the fact that we got to use both stories throughout the night, and the reasonable price made our decision pretty simple. Shauna was awesome to work with and helped us out a ton when last minute changes popped up in our schedule a week before the wedding. All of our guests absolutely loved the venue and we got so many compliments on the space. We couldn't have imagined having our wedding anywhere else and would highly recommend this venue to anyone!

    Five Event Center was a perfect venue for our daughters wedding celebration! Initially I worked with Danielle and could not say enough about her. She was very professional and knowledgeable, yet she was very personable. I left our first meeting feeling very confidnet in her abilities. A couple of weeks prior to the wedding, Danielle told me she was going to pursue other opportunities and I would be working with Shauna. I was a little nervous at first since I had not worked with Shauna, but she proved to be just as capable and professional. Everything went smoothly and the wedding was beautiful! I really appreciated their flexibility to our requests. All of the staff that I have worked with there are so nice and friendly. I loved having the 2 seperate floors (one for cocktails and the other for the ceromony, dinner and dance). On the day of the wedding, we had a lot of snow and icy roads. Five Event Center provided us with complimentary valet parking due to the weather. This was so appreciated and not expected. I would highly recommend this venue.

    I have so many good things to say about FIVE. We had our wedding ceremony and reception in the space and the whole day was pretty much seamless. Danielle was amazing to work with and went above and beyond expectations, answering every question and call with so much patience and detail. Our Sunday brunch wedding was incredible, and we owe a lot of that to Danielle’s thoughtful coordination. I would recommend FIVE to anyone.

    We recently had our wedding ceremony and reception at Five and it was amazing! Danielle our point of contact was great at answering all of our questions really quickly and she was great to work with the day of the wedding! Everyone that we worked with there was great! The venue itself is perfect! It is really pretty and it already has some decorations and lighting and so you don't have to add a lot more. From first time we saw the venue we could not imagine going anywhere else!

    Everyone at FIVE Event Center is so personable and fun! They made us feel like our wedding was the only one they had been planning for the last year and we couldn't be more grateful! Not only did FIVE help us with the details for the venue, but they provided us with a list of recommended caterers, photographers, bands/DJs and so much more! The staff at FIVE made the entire wedding planning experience so much easier and any time I had a question about anything pertaining to the wedding, my coordinator Kelly, was right there to help me and responded promptly to all my needs. Again, we are so grateful and I would tell anyone who is planning a wedding in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area to definitely consider FIVE. We had so many positive comments from our guests and they loved the intimacy of the venue. It's the perfect place for the modern bride and groom to have a traditional wedding with their own personal style added in!

    We loved using FIVE for our cocktail wedding reception in June! Danielle was amazing - so helpful, friendly, and reassuring. The venue itself has great character so decoration is easy. We used them for our bar as well and Danielle was helpful in choosing what we wanted and was spot on with quantity. So happy we chose FIVE!

    My husband and I were married last Sunday at FIVE. We had our wedding ceremony and reception there. Danielle was wonderful to work with in helping us plan, and in making our wedding day so special.

    She is fabulous to work with! She has a very upbeat attitude and would always get back to us right away when we had questions. My sister in law was intricate in helping us organize things from our end, and Danielle was very willing to work her as well. She helped us coordinate the valet (which was a big hit with our guests), worked with our cake and flower vendors, and even put up some decorations for us. No matter what we needed, Danielle was always willing to help.

    Our wedding day was everything we had wanted and imagined, and Danielle was a huge part of making that happen! FIVE is a great venue and worked perfectly for what we wanted.

    February 10, 2016 we had my daughter Kelly's and her wonderful husband Dan's wedding celebration. Danielle our event planner from FIVE helped us every step of the way. When we saw the venue we were blown away by how beautiful the space was. Danielle helped us plan from start to finish. Our photographer called 3 hours before the event to cancel because of illness and Danielle helped us find an awesome husband and wife team from 85Photography to step in. I only had 2 months to plan and expedite the event and couldn't have done it without Danielle. She went out of her way for several meetings we had and was always available to help. She accommodated our budget restraints and made costs very clear and affordable. Our 200+ guests continue to rave about the space and how much fun it was. I will continue to recommend this space to others. We will miss you Danielle. Wishing you continued success in all you do.

    FIVE Event center was the perfect spot for our intimate, cozy and urban winter wedding. We absolutley loved working with Danielle and all of the staff at FIVE. They went above and beyond to make our wedding just what we wanted. They were professional, always in communication and allowed some flexibility for us to make the event just the way we wanted. We loved the space, both floors, the amount of bar space and really everything. FIVE is so beautiful already that we didn't need to bring in many decorations to make it look fantastic. I would HIGHLY recommend FIVE event center for a wedding or any party. Thanks for an unbelievable night!

    Our wedding day experience was beyond our expectations. Our family and friends were delighted. From helping envision our wedding from the first visit to the venue, to helping plan the big day, to helping bring all of it together, and making our big day more then memorable, Danielle and the Five Event Center staff were spectacular. I would highly recommend them.

    I found FIVE Event Center on TheKnot.com and it was the only venue my husband and I chose to see. Krista was great at showing us around the venue and extremely helpful in answering all of our questions (and the many emails I sent her afterward, very promptly). We loved the history behind the building, and thought it was unique compared to other wedding reception venues we had been to for other weddings. We also loved that free parking was offered to our guests. Since we had a destination wedding, this reception was going to be a celebration of a marriage that had already taken place a few weeks earlier. We had dessert, a candy bar, photo booth, DJ and Video of our Wedding playing. We loved that there were two floors, and it's perfect for a mix and mingle type of wedding, but can easily be made to fit any event. We also loved that we didn't have to bring a lot in to decorate since the ambiance is perfect the way it is. We did not have one issue with this location and would do it all over if we could :) Definitely recommend this event center.

    We were so happy we chose Five Event Center as the venue for our wedding. We liked the fact that it could host both the ceremony and reception easily. It was perfect as guests could head downstairs for the cocktail hour while they transitioned the upstairs space. The building is unique, has a cool history, and is in a great location in uptown. Krista and the staff at Five were wonderful! She was always so friendly and happy to answer my many questions. They accommodated everything we needed and helped to make the day go super smoothly. It’s a beautiful and fun space with excellent service that made the night perfect!
