Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- The stunning architecture draws inspiration from the Minnesota landscape, and features wood and copper interiors as well as a 150-foot indoor water feature. Its exquisite event spaces are so lovely, little decoration is required.
- Two generous all-inclusive packages can accommodate weddings of almost any size. Venue options include the gorgeous Memorial Hall, the window-lined University Hall which overlooks a landscaped patio, and the intimate Johnson Great Room with its stylish fireplace, smaller rooms for your wedding party, and a University heritage museum for guests to enjoy.
- The award-winning D'Amico Catering is McNamara's exclusive on-site caterer. Your menu options encompass a delicious selection of hors d'oeuvres, plated dinners, buffet options, and custom cakes.
