Best Restaurants For Weddings In Minneapolis Near Me

TCWEP Network: Incredible space for events with excellent staff. We had our Venue Tour + Vendor Meetup held on the 50th floor Windows at Marquette in downtown Minneapolis.We were so high up in the sky, one of the tallest skyscrapers in Minneapolis, the IDS building. You can seriously see for miles and miles out into the suburbs. Gorgeous spaces inside for any event with sweeping views outside with ceiling to floor windows.Marquette served a wonderful spread for brunch that included: toasted bagels slathered with cream cheese, capers and smoked salmon. Lots of fresh fruits, cantaloupe, melons, honeydew, melon, strawberries. And with the brunch theme there was wonderful toasted hashbrowns, and yummy quiche. It was delicious.Highly recommend Windows at Marquette for any special eventPhoto credit: Adrian Steinbach PhotographyTwin Cities Wedding & Event Professionals

Kevin Engelhardt: for the quiet, well-kept bar that is a hidden gem, and an occasional dinner/meal, when we lived in Northeast Minneapolis. So, when we were returning after a 4-year absence, we HAD to stay at the Nicollet Island Inn. We met friends and family for an afternoon and evening of dining, drinks and fun. We received superb service, unsurmountable attention to detail and delicious, splendid meals. Wow! NII sets the new gold standard for hotels and restaurants. All of us who travel regularly were amazed at the professionalism, genuine care and alacrity that we enjoyed with every encounter, every meal and every conversation. A huge thank you to Issa at the front desk, Brad in the NII bar, and Lillian and Rebecca in the restaurant. Everything was perfect. You impressed everyone who had the pleasure of interacting with each of you.Nearby activities: There is too much in the way of activities that are nearby. You are a 10 minute walk to downtown Minneapolis. You are in the famed Nordeast Minneapolis - just look up Nye's Bar or St. Anthony Main! Interstate 35W is 5 minutes away and the University is a quick drive or bike ride. Centrally located and yet quiet and tucked away from the wild life.Safety: The island is well protected and well-lit. The area is always busy with foot traffic and runners/joggers. The inn does a great job of securing the parking lot and managing their outdoor patio to buffer you from the passers-by. You forget you are in a metropolitan area. They still use physical room keys!! It is classic!Walkability: You can walk anywhere at anytime from the Nicollet Island Inn. The area is constantly "afoot" with St. Anthony Main at your doorstep and downtown Minneapolis just 10 minutes away. Everyone walks in this area no matter the season.Food & drinks: The menu at NII is amazing. Each menu offers great selections with a good range for all appetites. The staff does an excellent job of accommodating food allergen requirements without skipping a beat. The wine list is very well curated and the bartender has years of mixology experience to make you the perfect iteration of any alcoholic beverage. The NII should be at the top of you dining list when in Minneapolis!

slothrescue 0: Incredible staff and food!Highly recomended

Stephen Anderson: One of my favorite venues to perform at! I’m a DJ with Complete Weddings and Events and whenever I’ve had an event here I’ve found the staff to be incredibly on top of it and flexible, and it’s a gorgeous space.

Rachael Schmitt: We hosted a work event in the fountain room and from start to finish the AV and Hospitality teams were great. Our event could not have gone better.

Heather Kaiser: This is one of our special occasion places! The food and ambience is always so great. If you have friends visiting from out of town, this is the place you want to take to impress them. We like the bar side, but went for a date night recently and ate on the dinner side. We had an impromptu four course meal that was curated by our server. We took out time and didn't feel rushed. Every server and staff seem to be in a good mood and polite, whether they are bringing you food, cleaning your table, or passing you on your way out. I definitely recommend going about an hour before sunset. PS the setting in the former monk's quarters is beautiful.

Mike Boardley: Beautiful, old school, dinner club. The outdoor patio is gorgeous as well. Jax Cafe is a Minneapolis institution. Dinning here harkens back to the days of old where men were men. They wore suits dinner jackets.The food here is quite good as well. My wife got the pork chop and I got the smothered ribeye. Both entrees were delicious and well portioned.On our next visit we plan to try their fish. One reason is you can choose which fish you want from their outdoor stream and pond. You are given a net and can scoop out the one you want.Jax is an excellent place to have a romantic dinner. So if you’re looking for a warm, intimate atmosphere, this is the place. We highly recommend Jax Cafe.

Callison Olson: I have always been one of those people that think wedding food is pretty underrated, until D'Amico did our wedding at Ashery Lane Farm. We had the best experience. They were so professional, helpful, and the food was delicious.I had guests coming up to me all night saying it was the best wedding food they have ever had. We had people say how amazing the food was even weeks after. It was memorable and left great impressions on all of our guests. I did wish that they had a few more options for the bar as we have a crowd that likes different types of drinks but that is okay there was still something for everyone!I would recommend using D'amico over and over again!

Danelle: We enjoyed a wedding reception here. Odd shaped configuration but we had a separate space for appetizers and drinks and then the sit-down meal and dance in another space. Decor was nice, the appetizers were yummy, main course was good, band was great. A good time was had by all. Free Valet parking.

Jordan Anderson: Had a perfect wedding experience here! The staff and the planning process was great, and all the day-of staff were friendly and amazing. We also got a ton of compliments on the food, which was also incredible. Thank you all for everything, it was a perfect day!

Revel & Flourish: Sterling Catering is wonderful! The staff is kind and professional. The food is delicious! We can't wait to until we can work with them again.- Revel & Flourish

Drake Friesen: Great brunch spot!

Eric Townsend: Thai food was exactly what we had a taste for, and Sawatdee Thai Restaurant was the perfect place to eat on a laid back Sunday afternoon, also such an Asian inspired design that it felt like we were in Thailand experiencing the culture and spices, all the food was delicious and even made made a great lunch the next day. See pics and video.

Jesse Borchardt: The staff were amazing.

Linda Hipp: Charming Cafe with fun music

Elisabeth Clemans: We just got married at Day Block and it was wonderful. Chris and Jeff are nice and professional. The space is absolutely gorgeous and they were so accommodating to our plans and set up. Our bartender for the night, Jessica, was wonderful and personable! I definitely recommend Day Block for your wedding or event!

Paul Dahlen: Very good place for a wedding, or banquet

Morgan Fox: I can’t begin to describe how incredible it was to work with Semple Mansion. Katherine was absolutely incredible and so helpful. The venue is just breathtaking and all of our guests were amazed with how beautiful it was! If we had to do it all over again, we would pick Semple again and again. Thank you for everything!

Rajiv Gupta: Good spacious
