Hyland Hills was so easy to work with. At the time before and during our wedding we were living in Texas and didnt have a ton of time to devout to wedding planning, but we still wanted it to be classy and elegant. Hyland provided us with a vendors list that made planning a breeze by giving us contact information for other approved vendors. I didn’t really know exactly what i wanted as far as layout went and i was provided with options, suggestions, and observations. Everything was made so easy for us and i couldn’t have asked for more care from a venue. Thank you guys so much!!

Awarded Best of Zola
When we began planning our 2024 wedding, Watson Block was the first venue we toured, and we immediately knew it would also be the last! Watson Block's intimate space and Art Deco vibes was perfect for our small (50 guests) wedding. Gaby was so easy to work with, being extremely communicative, professional, and patient with all the questions we had throughout the process. Watson Block's relationships with its partner caterers also made it a one-stop shop for our venue, food, and bar needs. Not only is the space gorgeous and the service top-tier, the price was remarkably affordable, especially given its location in the heart of Minneapolis! Watson Block made it possible for us to have our dream wedding, and we couldn't be more grateful. Thank you to Gaby and the entire team!
