My wife and I had just the most delightful wedding this past New Year's Eve at the St. James Hotel! The venue was immaculate and looked so perfect in all its holiday splendor for a big winter party. We took advantage of multiple spaces over the course of our wedding week, including the Port speakeasy, the Historic Lobby, and the breathtaking Summit Room--each of which provided a unique and memorable backdrop for our festivities. The service we received from the staff at the St. James was second-to-none! Shelly and her team were responsive, communicative, and able to help with all of our numerous questions. In fact, we were so well taken care of by the St. James team, that we did not even need to hire a wedding planner and we were still able to have a perfect ceremony and reception. The food and cake also exceeded all of our expectations and were the cherry on top of a perfect wedding venue experience. We would recommend the St. James to any couple looking for a convenient and affordable wedding venue for a large wedding near the Twin Cities, but especially to any couple planning a New Year's Eve wedding--the hotel is the perfect combination of elegant and spacious to throw a perfect party to ring in the new year.

Soulaiman and his crew at The Marriott were so easy to work with and made our wedding reception perfect! From day one, Soulaiman was very attentive and prompt in answering any questions we had. He was easy to get ahold of whether it was via email or a phone call. He was always available to meet in person as well. He was very accommodating to our requests for decorating our reception. For example, we preferred chairs that were in The Kahler for our color scheme. He went above and beyond and had the chairs brought over from The Kahler to the Marriott per our request. We would recommend Soulaiman and his crew to our friends, family, and anyone who is considering booking The Marriott for their celebration!

The Radisson Blu Fargo was amazing to work with for our wedding reception! We ended up moving our wedding date due to Covid and they were extremely accommodating for not only us but for our guests and their rooms as well. As we got closer to the day, their communication was very kind, clear, responsive, and detailed, making our reception go very smoothly. All possible planning details were considered and they did everything they could to make our day very special! On the day of our reception, the wedding coordinator made herself very available, made sure we had everything we needed, and made sure everything was going according to plan.

From the moment we toured Cotton Mansion we were smitten with its beauty and knew it was the ideal place to hold our ceremony and reception. We received so many compliments from guests on both the gorgeous venue and Kirsten's fantastic coordination and execution. We couldn't recommend Cotton Mansion Events more highly for couples seeking a vintage, elegant, one-of-a-kind wedding location with a consummate professional overseeing the event.
