Minneapolis Event Center

Have a great night at Mill City Whiskey Review. What a beautiful location for an event.

Came here for the Mill City Whiskey Review! Beautiful classy venue, great atmosphere, vendors and services l. Would definitely recommend for any events, weddings of over 100−200+ people! Thank you for a beautiful evening!

This is an excellent venue with wonderful service. I attended a Halloween wedding. Each table was decorated with an eye for detail. The staff was friendly and prompt, and kept the appetizers coming. The caprese sticks were yummy and so were the bacon-​wrapped figs. The butternut squash ravioli (my entrée) was heavenly. There was plenty of room to dance the night away. Great job!

Where do I start… Minneapolis Event Center, Wendy and Kerry should be your go– to venue and go-​to women!
We found out our wedding venue was destroyed in a storm about 2 months before the big day. With tears in my eyes and feeling the loss of my out-​of-​town dream wedding, my now husband, called MEC and they let us tour the space the same day.
Walking through the venue and talking with Wendy I was still in shock that we were not getting married at the place we had been planning to for over a year, however I quickly got over it when I saw how amazing this venue was.
Wendy and Kerry were in constant contact with us, making sure we felt comfortable– that they were going to take care of everything and make sure we had our dream wedding! Not only did all our dreams come true, but the MEC staff, venue and last but not least the food was spectacular! … I swear Wendy and Kerry don’t sleep… they just plan amazing events!
We had our wedding in the West side of the event center. Our ceremony was upstairs, followed by cocktails downstairs while they flipped the room in record time for dinner and reception.
People raved all night about how «stunning» the space was and how the food was to die for. I have been to many weddings where the food is terrible and its such a bummer after all that money you spend on one night. We are foodies and I went to culinary school and this food was nothing short of amazing. Chicken, Steak and Asparagus were cooked perfectly! The vegetarians RAVED about the Risotto.
MEC Staff, Kerry and Wendy really took care of us. I never thought of our other venue at any point that day… maybe this is where we should have planned our wedding all along.
If you’re planning a wedding or a corporate event, you would be stupid not to book this space and work with these fantastic people! I wish I could relive our wedding night again. I was really sad to walk out of the space that night.
BEST. NIGHT. EVER!

Our wedding venue was going to be flooded and we had one week to figure it out. It was big time scramble mode. Most of our guests were from out of state we had some major re-​coordination to take care of.
My wife came across The Minneapolis Events Center on the Knot. I figured I was wasting their time because we only had seven days to find a new venue! I talked with Wendy and some way, some how they had an opening the next Saturday. Wendy was wonderful to work with as was Clare, the Coordination Manager. The really went above and beyond. They stayed in constant contact with us and were all about making it the perfect day.
MEC has both outdoor and indoor options for wedding ceremonies. We ended up choosing to have it indoors. The crowd all faced the large glass windows. About five minutes before the ceremony it started raining. It was a perfect backdrop. It really couldn’t have been imagined any better.
If we were to plan everything again, we would chose MEC. If you are looking for a classy venue with exceptional customer service, please check them out!

This space is kiddy corner to the large parking ramp in the St. Anthony Main area. Don’t use the address on Facebook as that will confuse the heck out of you and your friends, for most people, it should be an easy find.
The entrance was open and well lit. If you were to use a valet service at an event, there was a spacious horseshoe that would help to minimize the line of cars.
I was lucky enough to be invited to the VIP Grand Opening Party and got to be one of the first ones to see the space and let me tell you, it is GORGEOUS! They didn’t skimp out on the décor of the place. It was modern, clean and sophisticated.
They had an array of food to try from (that I assume if from their catering menu). The stars of the show were the roast beef, cocktail shrimp, steak bites and prosciutto wrapped scallops. The service staff that night were very accomodative and friendly.
After seeing the space, I’m excited to book it for a couple events I have in mind for 2014.
