Reasons why I love The NGT: Ryan and Tina were AWESOME to work with - very quick to get back to emails and answer questions. Super accommodating with all the vendors I was working with and I felt like I could customize EVERYTHING with them (down to the jalapeno margaritas that Tina and Ryan prepared!). So reasonably priced! Security was included with our rental, they helped with parking, set a beautiful ambiance of the space, included tables and chairs (and helped with setup and tear down), did a custom marquee message, and so much more. We had the venue from early afternoon all the way to midnight. We were able to reserve the space the night before to host our rehearsal dinner and complete the setup (pro tip: get late night pizza from Joe and Stan's - you will not regret!). Customizations all around! I've eluded to this already a little, but it was so great it deserves a second mention - every time I came to The NGT with a hope to customize something they said "no problem!" and made it happen without adding a bill unto my tab, which is so incredibly rare in wedding planning. Beautiful space with room for everyone and everything. We had our ceremony and reception at The NGT - it was perfect because there was a space for the bridal party and groomsmen to get ready separately, a seamless transition from ceremony to dinner, and the venue itself allows for beautiful lighting and sound.
Thank you again Ryan and Tina for everything - you two are AWESOME!

Read more2020 has taught us to have flexibility and patience. Ryan and Tina are stewards of both. We were supposed to have our 145-person wedding at the North Garden Theater in April of 2020 – but like the rest of the world – everything was turned upside down due to Covid-19. We chose to dial back our guest list to just immediate family, and hosted a much smaller version of our wedding and reception at the North Garden Theater in August of 2020. Not only were Ryan and Tina incredibly flexible in allowing us to move our date – they were eager to provide creative solutions on how to make a smaller event work. Throughout the entire process they were extremely easy to work with and were timely in all their communications. They were very accommodating during our set-up and tear-down; and even provided a few extra special touches to really make this an unbelieve experience for us. We cannot recommend the North Garden Theater enough – especially for anyone looking for a beautiful, safe venue for their weddings/receptions during this pandemic. The North Garden Theater encapsulates St. Paul; the venue space is beautifully renovated to represent historic St. Paul. It’s simply gorgeous. Now because our overall experience was so fantastic working with Ryan and Tina and with how beautiful the venue is; we plan to have them host our larger gathering in May of 2021. We are very much so looking forward to working with the NGT again next spring! We highly...
Read moreMy husband and I recently got married at the North Garden Theater, and it was a great experience. Ryan and Tina were great to work with, and helped us have an amazing wedding. For the price it was an incredible value. They include a lot of things for no extra cost, including tables and chares, tablecloths, photo booth backdrops, microphones and sounds system, and have a built in bar that the owners run, so you don't have to hire bartenders. I also highly recommend using the marquee out front, it was a great addition to our wedding and some of my favorite photos are us under it. There is list of preferred venders, but they are willing to work with others as well if you would prefer. They were very responsive to our emails, usually getting back to us within a day or two even when the wedding was still months away. They were incredibly flexible, and happy to listen to our ideas on how things could be ran, but also gave us great advice when we needed it. On the actual day of he wedding everything looked amazing. We did the option where you could come in and set up the night before, and we are very glad we did since it meant a lot less stress on our wedding day. Our guests loved the venue, and we got a lot of compliments on it and questions about how we found such a great place. If you are looking for a great wedding venue in the Saint Paul area I can't recommend...
