We had an unforgettable wedding at the University of Minnesota Campus Club in February. We had about 6 months to plan our wedding and working with the staff at the Campus Club made the planning process more fun than anything! They had great taste and suggestions for the wedding, responded quickly to questions, and were so kind. We were also allowed to have our dog at the ceremony! It made the planning process streamlined because we could have the ceremony, dinner, food, and the dance floor all in one place. The venue already had so much character that one doesn't need a lot of extra decorations (and extra work). The space is so large that it does not feel crowded to have the entire wedding at this location. What drew us to this location were the stunning views of Minneapolis, the incredible food options (the guests could not stop talking about the steak!), and the multiple options you had for room choices. We rented out the West Wing and the bar area, which proved to be a great option for guests to mingle after the ceremony and before dinner. With amazing views, delectable food, and a beautiful venue it made our wedding a perfect day!

Quincy Hall was an incredible venue for our wedding! We had around 200 guests for our September wedding and it felt simultaneously spacious and cozy. The QH team was very responsive and helped with planning every step of the way. They were also super accommodating and helped fine ways for us to meet out budget while still getting the experience we were looking for. The venue and surrounding area had a number of spots for stunning, industrial vibe photos and we couldn't be happier with the look and feel for our day. Our food was also outstanding. We knew the food at Crave would be delicious, but we received so many compliments from guests about their meals.

Glass House is a unique event space in the North Loop of Minneapolis located inside the facility of Hennepin Made, a local company founded in 2011 drawing on traditional glassblowing techniques to craft hand-blown accents that blur the line between everyday object and modern art. The space’s original concrete floors, cinderblock walls, and steel beam construction have been re ned and accentuated by modern elements to create a beautiful backdrop that blends past and present. Our building at 147 Holden Street was constructed in 1955 as a glass warehouse and mirror manufacturing plant for the Ford McNutt Company. Hennepin Made acquired the property in 2016 from Brinn Glass in order to expand their operations and grow their vision to connect people through craft. Thus, Parallel Cafe + Holden Room were created.

The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with an aesthetic that perfectly fit our vision. They were also flexible in the required minimum charges, layout and flow of our smaller guest count. The transition between rooms went seamlessly, and the bar service was well-organized. While the staff may have been a bit too casual, and it was unclear who our dedicated day-of contact and security were, overall Glass House provided excellent value and contributed greatly to making our special day a huge success.

We have been left speechless about our big day for the last month. If considering FIVE Event Center for your wedding, let this be your sign. All thanks have to go to the amazing coordinators, Victoria and Robyn, and their staff who made the process oh so smooth! Their communication from the first inquiry to the day of was incredible. They are up front and honest. They are open to giving recommendations, but also open to hearing yours. They work with some of the most amazing partners. Be sure to check out their preferred vendors--everyone we worked with from this list was FABULOUS! Our guests have continued to rave about our choice of venue. From the bridal/groom suites, to the beautiful brick walls and cocktail space downstairs, and everything in between! With being in Uptown, parking can be tricky. Therefore, we recommend working with their top pick of valet service-Unparalleled Parking (Especially for a Friday Wedding). The photo options are endless and truly perfect surrounding this location as well. FIVE Event is there for you to ensure your day is perfect! Stop debating and choose FIVE Event:)
