St. James Wedding Rehearsal
We were fortunate enough to have the Rehearsal Dinner and Welcome Party for our son and his bride in the Portside Room. We were blown away by how beautiful the venue was, and how fantastic the staff was! Not only was the venue incredible, but Shelly, Liz the staff were AMAZING the night of! Shelly was our coordinator from day one and she knocked it out of the park. Being from out of town in Tennessee we instantly built a relationship with Shelly, placing our trust in her, and she did not disappoint. Shelly was full of energy and expressed genuine kindness to our family. She was detail oriented, patient, organized, communicative, responsive, fun and a gem to work with. The front desk and bartenders in the Port Bar were great, super fun, and easy to work with. The kitchen staff created a fantastic Italian buffet for us, and the pastry chef created a fun, personal and delicious groom's cookie cake to serve late night. Clementines Florist helped create beautiful tablescapes with greenery and flowers that were perfection! Since many of our guests stayed at the hotel, spending time on the patio at Scarlet's Restuarant helped us create even more quiet memories with breakfast and lunches. If you’re considering booking the St. James Hotel, we would HIGHLY recommend it!
Perfect NYE Wedding Venue!
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.
