This is an ideal wedding venue! Nancy and her team at the Minneapolis Golf Club are PHENOMENAL. I had booked a wedding venue in downtown Minneapolis amidst all of the civil unrest, and I was so nervous that the previous venue was going to be burned down that I decided to switch to the Minneapolis Golf Club, and I could not have been happier with the decision. The golf course and landscaping provided a BEAUTIFUL backdrop for the ceremony, reception, and our photos. The staff was prepared, efficient, and quick to respond to email inquiries. I literally had no stress because Nancy and her team were so on top of everything - very professional and experienced with great advice for brides like me who need all the help they can get! We ended up having our rehearsal dinner at the venue as well, and the crew was so accommodating. We just made sure to serve a different entrée and salad for the rehearsal dinner than the day of the wedding so people didn't get sick of the food. Speaking of which - the food was absolutely amazing. The day of our wedding we served the Filet Mignon & Poached Shrimp and Crispy Tuscan Chicken with the mashed potatoes and asparagus with each. My guests and I all agreed that the food was superior to any other wedding meal we have ever had. We had the ceremony in the same space as the reception, and our guests went and had a cocktail hour in the bar/main hall area while the staff flipped the room. Honestly, the cocktail hour (technically it was an hour and a half because we hired a crew to set up linens and flowers so it took some time) was perfect and went by so quickly. The staff served all the delicious appetizers of our choice to our guests and had champagne ready for everyone as soon as they exited the ceremony so as not to overwhelm the bartender during the cocktail hour. It helped avoid lines at the bar, and people were able to continue mingling while butlers passed the horduerves around on trays. The reception space had a dance floor in the front of the room in front of the huge windows for a lovely backdrop, and the Club has a lit-up balcony that guests could cool off and mingle on during dance breaks. Our guests had a great time hanging in the bar area, balcony area, and dance floor all night long. The staff helped to make sure we had everything wrapped up by 11:30. One tip: the bridal get ready room is awesome, and I highly recommend paying for the package that includes the vanity mirrors, breakfast buffet, and mimosas. It was SO much fun for all of us, and we really got pumped for the walk down the aisle. Choose this venue! You won't regret it!! Thanks Nancy & the Minneapolis Golf Club crew for making our special day better than we could have ever expected!
