Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- The Center's stunning architecture draws inspiration from the Minnesota landscape, featuring wood and copper interiors as well as a 150-foot indoor water feature. This exquisite event space is so lovely, it requires little decoration.
- Two all-inclusive packages can accommodate weddings of almost any size. Room options include the gorgeous Memorial Hall and the window-lined University Hall—both which overlook a landscaped patio— and the intimate Johnson Great Room, with its its stylish fireplace, and a small room for wedding party storage. Plus, the Heritage Gallery museum is always open for your gusts to explore.
- The award-winning D'Amico Catering provides the delectable cuisine. Your menu options encompass a delicious selection of hors d'oeuvres, plated dinners, buffet options, and custom cakes.
