  • Beautiful venue in the city

    I have photographed multiple weddings at Semple Mansion. It is a gorgeous venue with lots of places to take photos. One of my favorite spots is the grand staircase - it's beautiful and has amazing window light! The ceremony space is beautiful - to capture the beauty a skilled photographer can balance the lighting in the space filled with window light from many directions. The getting ready room is fantastic with the separate space for storage of items, helps keep the space tidy.

    Semple Mansion is an utterly GORGEOUS venue with lots of charm and character. Our guests were in awe of its beauty. The venue is also affordable and comparably priced to other venues in the Twin Cities area, but comes with more style and built in decor. Katherine, the on site coordinator, was also very responsive, accommodating, and extremely easy to work with!! I wouldn’t change a thing!

  • Beautiful Venue!

    From the moment I stepped on the stairs or Semple I knew it was it for me. But after seeing the inside and meeting Katherine I was certain, but once I visited the wine grotto I was completely sold! It’s such a beautiful venue that was perfect for my wedding. Katherine is such a joy to work with. Communication was great and she was so accommodating. I can go on and on. I would recommend Semple to anyone looking for a beautiful vintage mansion venue! Definitely top notch!
