The Woman's Club Of Minneapolis — Local services in Minneapolis

My new husband I were blown away by the beauty and convenience of Women's Club of Mpls when we were choosing a venue for our wedding ceremony and reception -- and we are so glad we chose them! Tim and the entire staff was delightful to work with and made the planning so easy. Tim really helped me know what elements I needed to provide ahead of time so that everything would go smoothly the day of -- this was a huge help! The tasting dinner to choose our meal options was so elegant and so delicious we knew our guests would enjoy it. We had created a special cocktail while dating, and the bartender sourced the ingredients and infused vodka specially for us so it could be served as our signature drink. On the day of the wedding, the staff was wonderful and assisted to making the day go smoothly -- I'm sure this was tough to do with the number of events they had scheduled for that weekend! Yet they made us feel special. I had lunch served to my ladies while we were getting ready upstairs and it also was delicious -- they made sure we had everything we needed -- even adjusting the room temperature, etc. and making sure we had enough water. It was a magical day, and many of our guests told us how much they loved the space, the food and everything about our wedding. It truly is a gorgeous building. There are so many lovely spots for photos, plus Loring Park is just across the street.The wonderful catering director Tim and the entire staff all helped ensure the day went well and was fun for everyone. My husband and I are looking forward to returning occasionally for events at the Women's Club in remembrance of our...

The first event I attended at the Woman's Club Theater was the SG Blackheart Burlesque show. While other parts of the facility seemed quite pretty, and the show itself was fun, I have to admit I was disappointed with the theater. This kind of an event would have been more fun at a venue like First Ave.

The theater lighting was both age and event type inappropriate. It was hard to see the stage or enjoy the show when the house (particularly the balcony) was illuminated for most of the performance. It clearly threw off the audience experience. You're not in a position to relax and disconnect when everyone is waiting for the lights to go down like in any other venue, whether that be a concert venue, a movie theater, or a traditional theater show. The generally reserved and polite Minnesota crowd took longer to show enthusiasm than I think the performers were hoping for.

While having a bar is a nice addition, non alcoholic beverages (beyond just drink mixers) are an appreciated option for those who are driving or don't drink.

Finally, particularly for cold weather performances or disabled patrons, while the venue address is on Oak Grove, you may want to be prepared to enter the theater off Loring Park on W. 15th St (opposite side of the block...

We recently attended a show here of Tom Segurra's. We sat nearly all the way at the top (btw, there was only two prices of tickets.. One option was $20 and some change per ticket the other was $50 per ticket.) eventhough I paid the higher price I some how ended up in the second to last row on the balcony. Let me just say, on a cold winter night you'd hope to not need your coat in the building. But, that was not the case. I was so uncomfortable because there was a constant air flow of colder air blowing on my ear (too bad I didn't have a winter hat on hand). Other than that, the show was great and I appreciate the age and character of this building. If you're going to a dinner show and want drinks, I recommend going out somewhere else first.. But, I do have to say you hardly can have a bad seat in the house. Very...
