Hey Knotties, I just want to let you know about a ceremony and reception location that has come back on the scene under new management. The Van Dusen Mansion is in Minneapolis on LaSalle Ave near Franklin (on the same block as Semple). I am having my ceremony and reception there next summer and have had a great experience so far working with Matt Anderson and Lisa Brenna (who is in charge of the Mintahoe side of it-their catering partner). They both respond promptly to emails. The building is beautiful and romantic. Tell Matt that you heard it from me and he will get you an appointment right away.

Have fun planning!
Rochelle

    I agree!! Van Dusen is beautiful!! Ditto on Matt & Lisa - both have been super friendly and helpful so far. 

    FI and I are actually getting married there next year as well. Super excited they re-opened the venue for events again
