issa was a dream to work with. She’s incredibly responsive, organized, and generous with her ideas and insights from past events. Her guidance helped us feel confident and excited throughout the planning process.
The team on the night of our wedding was exceptional. Every staff member was kind, attentive, and made sure our guests felt cared for. Their warmth and professionalism added so much to the atmosphere and made the evening feel truly special.
The food and drinks were phenomenal. One of the biggest highlights for us was the ability to customize our menu. It allowed us to create a dining experience that felt personal and reflective of us as a couple. Everything was cooked to perfection, served warm, and beautifully plated. We chose family-style service, which added a cozy, communal feel to the evening that our guests loved.
Overall, we are so grateful to have celebrated our wedding at The Copper Hen. It was the perfect setting to gather with our closest family and friends, and we’ll cherish the memories forever.

and what to include. We can’t say enough good things about the planning process with them. They clearly have done this a ton and had great suggestions and did a wonderful job of listening to our wants while helping us fill in the blanks.
The day of truly went off without a single problem. The food was delicious, the dessert was so good, and the service was beyond amazing! We really felt like guests at our own wedding which was such a gift.
We HIGHLY recommend having your wedding here! It felt so special and was incredibly easy working with them!

The venue, food, refreshment, accommodations, and team were all top notch!
From planning the entire evening to executing on each of the small things, they were ready to help at ev...
ery step.
Given it's a restaurant, you might hope the food is good. Well not only did we design our own menu from start to finish, they also made amazing dishes. Every guest commented on their favorites and how full they were. Some guests went so far to say that they were surprised by which items were their favorites.
The process was simple and easy both prior to the event and day of. Communication was smooth.
We used the entire restaurant instead of just the smaller more private space which worked great to give us a small secluded space prior to the ceremony beginning. Plus, there's a bartender in there prior to the ceremony, so you can get some bubbly before you walk down the aisle.
Talking about the space, we basically customized our own table layouts based on the number of guests we invited. They were very accommodating and helped us to figure out what would work best based on our inputs.
Overall, great option for ceremony, reception, happy hour, etc. A whole wedding boxed in 1 place.
Only challenge is parking. You're in uptown, likely on a weekend, with only a small shared parking lot across the street that will not be enough for you and your wedding party/family. I recommend giving guests a heads up about a high likelihood of needing to find street parking.

s. Our guests said “it was the best wedding food they’ve ever enjoyed” and it was all served in an extremely smooth and timely manner. The package included all drinks, hors d’oeuvres, dinner, cake, cupcakes, and pizza during the dance… and it was all a fraction of the cost of most other venues. The staff cleared the tables quickly for the dance, and the staff was noticeably happy and engaged to the end. We invited them to the dance floor for the last dance, and it was the perfect finale to our dream wedding!! I could not have been happier.

ith, and the end result was out of this world. I'm a home baker and the cake REALLY mattered to me. Copper Hen had a really personalized tasting experience, and right off the bat it felt like I was working with a partner who cared as much as I did (not just another commercial baker churning out wedding cakes). Copper Hen worked with us to develop our dream flavor, and we even did a "practice cake" to ensure it was what we wanted. Everyone at our wedding was RAVING about our cake. I can't recommend Copper Hen highly enough! Minnesota couples, run don't walk. Go there for brunch/lunch while you're at it, the food is delicious.

We booked the Copper Hen Kitchen for desserts for our June 2023 wedding. Although we were coming from out of town, Marisa and the entire team were very accommodating and were able ...
to fit us in for a tasting when we came in to town for the holidays. Marisa patiently explained all the different cake flavors and options and never rushed us in our final order. We ended up getting a small 6 inch cake to cut, and served assorted mini desserts to our guests. They loved the different options and especially loved the chocolate chip cookies and seasonal hand pie, which we got in the blueberry lemon flavor! The delivery to our venue was seamless and they gave specific instructions for how to store the desserts until it was time to serve them later in the evening. Thank you for making our wedding event so sweet!

We worked with Marisa and The Copper Hen for nearly two years planning our wedding! First, it was an all-inclusive price which we loved as there were no hidden costs or nickel and ...
diming upgrades. The space itself is gorgeous and was perfect for our 75 guests. It doesn't need a ton of decoration which is an added bonus. We loved creating the menu and had rave reviews on the food. They also allowed us to create our own signature drinks which was a great touch. As we planned our wedding to be in 2020, due to COVID it was pushed out to 2021. Marisa and the team were amazing. I never felt like we were going to be screwed over or were in competition with other couples to secure other dates. The entire staff was beyond wonderful on the day - Marisa is the best at what she does and TCH is so lucky to have her. She always got back to me, always had a positive attitude, and treated us SO WELL! I can't rave about it enough!

red a LOT of cake). They were super flexible in helping us choose flavors and frosting, and they were able to do really awesome designs that were just what we had envisioned. I think the best part was that we had several guests with gluten allergies, and we had a whole cake in the gluten free chocolate flavor. This cake was seriously amazing. All of the gluten-free folks were over the moon that they could eat cake that tasted so amazing, especially one of my young cousins with an allergy who came back for 5 pieces and said it was the best cake she’d ever eaten :) I definitely recommend them for wedding cakes, you won’t be disappointed!

and amazing buttercream frosting. The tasting and ordering process was very smooth. Only reason I gave 4 stars was due to the pick up of our cake. It was a little bit of a hassle being they were hosting a wedding the day we needed to pick up and we did not receive communication on what to do when we arrived, and their sign said the were closed. We called a few times and no one answered. We managed to figure it out eventually. I would suggest having them deliver id your venue is close. Just a very minor setback- but the cake was delicious and gorgeous!

They answered any questions we had in a timely manner and helped make suggestions on our order without being pushy or over the top. We decided to have someone pick up our cake on the wedding day instead of getting it delivered and they worked with us on that, no problem. Overall, getting our wedding cake through the Copper Hen wedding met our dessert needs perfectly. I’m thankful we had some left over because it is seriously heavenly!

ampagne, chocolate and raspberry) so families could mingle and swap desserts. Our florist decorated each cake so floral coincided with its flavor, and the end result was nothing short of fantastic. Plus, The Copper Hen froze our cakes the night before so we wouldn't need to worry about any melting issues, and they delivered to our location a little over an hour from the cities! If you're looking for a quality cake that's a cake-cake, not a fondant mess, stop looking and start tasting. This place is where you need to land. And make a date out of it because their restaurant is divine and the perfect place to spend an evening out together amidst the hustle and bustle of planning. A+
