About this venue
When you choose the Rochester Art Center, you will get more than just a unique and historic venue. Rochester Art Center is located along the Zumbro River in downtown Rochester, MN, with easy access to the Skyways, hotels, and restaurants. The modern architecture of the Art Center features panoramic views of the city to the West, Mayo Memorial Park to the East, and the river to the South. This open space allows for dynamic design customized to your taste. If your guest list is long, the Mayo Civic Centers ballroom is the ultimate place in Rochester to host your wedding. Located on the skyway, acoustical panels for quality sound, and high-end finishes to complement any decorating scheme. Mayo Civic Center was modernized and expanded, making it an even more picturesque and stylish venue for weddings. The center’s new design features a spectacular pre-function area outside the new ballroom, and a two-story glass wall with dazzling views of downtown Rochester and the Zumbro River.
