Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- At the heart of Minneapolis’s Warehouse District and just blocks from the river, you’ll find this gorgeously restored turn-of-the-century office building, retaining all of its vintage charm but boasting all the essential modern amenities needed for the perfect soiree.
- The luxe interior features lightly-toned brick walls and a ceiling of exposed rafter and ductwork that’s hung with glittering crystal chandeliers. There’s a lovely permanent bar with tile detailing, and one entire wall of windows overlooking the skyline and bustling street below.
- They’ve got an awesome list of trusted local vendors who not only deliver stellar service, but are familiar with the neighborhood and this unique venue. Plus, it’s within walking distance of several top-notch hotels, making things extra easy for your out-of-town guests.
