InterContinental Saint Paul Riverfront

fantastic and working with Jennifer the Coordinator was the best experience. If you are looking for an urban setting, you can't beat the IC in St Paul. We had several out of town guests stay at the hotel and we did too. Great experience. We looked around and I believe we got a good value for the dollar.

sy-going. She understood our vision and worked with our other vendors to make sure the day was perfect. If we didn't have Jennifer as our coordinator, I'd truly be lost and stressed. We can't say enough about her and the venue. Our guests absolutely loved the wedding and the services.

and environment were an absolute dream. I would highly recommend this venue for your wedding or next event. I couldn’t be happier with the service and support I received while trying to plan my wedding. We all know how stressful planning a wedding can be, but when you have the support of an excellent venue/coordinator, it alleviates a lot of the extra unnecessary stress on yourself. There was excellent communication throughout; she answered all of my questions, offered advice based on experience, and did anything she could to help me. 10/10!

lpful leading up to and through the day of the wedding. The ballroom we had our reception in was beautiful and had plenty of space. Our guests loved having everything be in one spot and made it easy for out of town guests. Jennifer went above and beyond our expectations and we would recommend her and the Intercontinental for anyone considering a wedding reception.

with! Any large event I would plan in the future my first stop will always be The Intercontinental St Paul River Front! I had the wedding of my dreams and would recommend anyone and everyone to call them!

se this venue for our daughters wedding!!!

We all also stayed at the hotel as well. The suite had amazing views and helped to make beautiful getting ready photos.

C and Jennifer (our contact person) were right there to walk us through our options and to enable us to have the wedding we were planning. It was Jennifer's encouragement that empowered us to make such a last minute decision! She told us to not worry about anything and just focus on being in the moment. She worked with her staff and the rest of our vendors to make it happen and take care of everything behind the scenes. When we walked into the reception we were simply floored! It was like magic; the day we'd been dreaming of unfolded in front of us despite the pandemic craziness! We were able to have the wedding were we planning a day early simply because of the support and effort of so many people spearheaded by the IC and Jennifer! We can't say thank you enough nor recommend them highly enough!!

staff at the InterContinental did everything in their power to move the event up by one day. Everything was perfect. We very much appreciate everything they did to make the day amazing. I highly recommend them.

more than amazing. They are so accommodating to work with. The response time to answer any questions we had or to inform of us every detail was quick and effortless. The space is beautiful. The setup for the ceremony, social hour and repetition is all so convenient and the staff to set it up is wonderful and efficient! All of our guests complimented how good the food was and our nice and informative the staff was. Jennifer coordinated everything with all of our vendors so we didn’t have to worry about the little details. We have nothing but wonderful things to say about our experience having our wedding at the InterContinental Saint Paul Riverfront. Everyone is accommodating, detailed oriented and makes sure the day is perfect for the couple. We highly recommend this Venue for anyone planning to get married.

ue (my wife's must have) and a booking that went past midnight (my must have)! The Intercontinental's rooms are very modern; the river room with 180 degrees of windows provided awesome scenery; the staff there responded and handled every predictable (and unpredictable) situation that came up -- exceptionally discreetly. All of this allowed us to enjoy out special day without hassle -- did I mention we partied until 1 am? They also comped us very nice suites the night before the wedding and the night of the wedding. The food was wonderful; that waitstaff was more than accommodating and Jennifer and Lindsey (wedding coordinators) helped plan everything and took care of the finishing details! We highly recommend the Intercontinental!

o the food tasting to the day of our wedding (9/14/2019), Lindsay was extremely attentive and made the entire process not only easy but enjoyable. She made sure everything was in place the day of the wedding so we could just simply enjoy our day! The venue is breath taking and the ballroom was perfect for our 200+ attendees! Everyone raved about the food and their beautiful views from their rooms. When we got to our room at the end of the night, Lindsay had chocolate covered strawberries and champagne for us! I can’t say enough about this venue, all the staff, and especially Lindsay! I highly highly recommend this venue for your wedding or any other big event!

an’t beat the views. Other than the aesthetic attributes, the services and hospitality were unmatchable. The food was delicious and we had compliments by majority of our guests about how great their meal was. We had a guest that has celiac disease and who is also vegetarian- the staff went above and beyond to make sure our guest was taken care of! Last but not least, Lindsay Wayne, the senior catering sales manager, is AMAZING!!!! She is the most organized person I know and helps make the wedding planning process a breeze! If you are looking for a spectacular venue with not only great views but stellar service- the Intercontinental is your place!

ding day! The food was fantastic and the service was indescribable. We are still getting comments about everything from the venue to this day.

I had to plan the entire wedding from a different state and Lindsay made it very seamless. The wedding turned out beautiful. The only small complaint I would have is that their dinner staff was way too efficient. We had some guests say their food was cleaned up too early and I also didn't get to eat most of my cake. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend everyone to choose this venue!

ntil the day of the wedding! She supported us and guided us to have one of the best day. We made our decision based on the great customer service we got and of course by the beautiful ballroom. Our wedding day is beyond what we expected. My guest loved the food and how everything was organized. What an amazing memory!

had perfect lighting because of those windows! We were able to take our photos inside the ballroom and just across the hotel is a beautiful fountain and a small park, perfect for pictures. Our coordinator, Lindsay, is the best! She's super sweet, responsive, and informative. She always responded to our questions in detail and was very patient with us. There were no surprises and we had a very positive experience with this venue. The food was delicious, the staff was friendly, and all of our guests had a great time! We would recommend this place to everyone!

o achieve with minimal decorations because of the beauty of this room and the lobby where our cocktail hour was. The suites we had to get ready in were beyond anything I could have imagined, while we did upgrade one because of the number of ladies getting ready together it was worth the extra room, the views and decor for pictures were perfect. All of the staff were amazing and made you feel as though you were the only person they were concerned about, and they ensured everything was just how we wanted it. All the guests were raving over the food and desserts, everything came out looking 5 start and tasted as much as well. They were very willing to accommodate diet needs and did so without a ripple in dinner service. The surrounding outdoor areas are perfect for pictures as well as locations inside the lobby. They truly made our day special!

vision and provided an exceptionally experienced insight to our planning process. Jennifer took over for her while she was out on maternity leave and no details were missed. I was very impressed with every aspect of the whole process. The venue itself was stunning and everything was so streamlined. We had both our ceremony and reception here. We had many complimentary surprises and we were treated so well. They checked in on us on the day of, and they were able to exceed our expectations with anything we needed. I would 10/10 recommend having your wedding here. We are so thankful for everything they did for us and had the most amazing day with the best memories.

y was extremely organized and kept everything on track. The planning went so smoothly, and we were not worried about a thing! The reception dinner and the ballroom were delicious and elegant respectively! The bartender and serving staff were so professional and friendly!! The rehearsal dinner was equally wonderful! Also, many guests stayed at the hotel and had a wonderful experience-the rooms were clean and comfy with beautiful views of the river. I would highly recommend the Intercontinental for your wedding reception!

to work with! She helped us through the whole process, answered all of the random questions we had, and was genuinely excited for us. Lindsay even went above and beyond on the day of to help get something printed and delivered it to the getting ready suite. We really appreciated that the venue made it easy to have gluten-free and other allergen friendly options available. They were even able to bring in a preferred cider! The day of was amazing! The venue was beautiful, the food was great, and the staff were phenomenal! The wedding definitely wasn’t cheap, but we could not have imagined it any differently! If you are looking for a venue that truly wants to help make your day everything you want it to be then we definitely recommend this venue!

s and worked perfectly for our day with 160 guests. We toured about 30 venues before deciding that the Intercontinental was perfect - big space, gorgeous dance floor, in-house coordinator, delicious food, windows overlooking the river, and guest rooms for our guests. I highly recommend meeting with the Intercontinental staff and touring this venue - it is more than a standard hotel ballroom but really is a complete package for a beautiful wedding. We had so many compliments from our guests on the cocktail space, reception, and organization of the whole event. Thank you, Lindsay, for your dedication and top-notch coordinating!

nce in me that she would ensure our day was perfect. Because of Lindsay, I did not feel the need to hire a wedding planner (which I was considering before). She always kept us on track with "next steps" and what we should be working on. The InterContinental's preferred vendor list is great. They really do know the best people to work with. The staff the day of the wedding was amazing. My now-husband and I were constantly being waited on and asked what we needed, which is so nice when you are so busy talking to people all night long. I can't speak highly enough of Lindsay and the staff. The food, service and ballroom were all amazing!!

ne! Lindsay is INCREDIBLE to work with. She is so kind, so professional, and you can tell she really loves her job and wants to do a good job when it comes to your special day. She is so quick to responding to texts/emails/and calls. Everyone loved the wedding and the venue, and I will forever be grateful we chose the Intercontinental in Saint Paul!

questions before we could even ask them. Would absolutely recommend them to everyone!

ery meeting was timely and productive. She always answered any questions we had and we always felt confident in our decision. The night was magical!

e reception location outside of the main ballroom. Lindsay was fantastic to work with, especially for food allergies. They were also accommodating when it came to dropping off items for the wedding a few days before and allowing us to store them until the next morning.

got married in the Great River ballroom. The space is so beautiful that you don't need a lot of decorations. We kept it simple and space spoke for itself. It was truly a dream come true! Wedding planning isn't easy. Thank goodness for Lindsay Wayne! She made the process so much easier. Lindsay was so helpful and answered my many questions. All the stress that I had leading up to the wedding was eased with each meeting that we had with her! The night went smoothly thanks to Lindsay! All of the hotel staff are really friendly! Customer Service is exceptional!! I recommend this venue 100%! You will be taken care of throughout your whole stay. My experience with this hotel was amazing! I couldn't be happier. Thank you for making our wedding so effortless and amazing!

ve staff. But mostly we have Lindsay to thank for going above and beyond what is asked of her as our wedding coordinator prior to our event date, but also on the day of the event! She alleviated most of my stress as a bride throughout the planning process and the week of the wedding. I couldn't recommend a better venue or coordinator to help with your special day!

ur wedding -- and that love carried through for our special day. It was perfect. Again, Lindsay and the staff at InterContinental made everything SO smooth. I didn't worry one bit, and nothing was out of place. Leading up to the event, the planning was easy, calm, and professional. Our guests loved the venue, too, which made us even more happy. I can't say enough about this wonderful venue. Thank you!! Special shout out to Lindsay W., you personalized our wedding and made us feel so special and happy on our wedding.

took really good care of us and we felt very welcomed. We actually made a few friends at the venue! Lindsay did an exceptional job at making sure everything was well planned. Her organized planning is on point. Our guests raved about how great the food was. The pot roast was delicious!!! The venue was beautiful and we didn't need any extra decor. This experience makes me we want to go back for future events!!!! We plan on going back to eat at the Citizen because of the wonderful memories we shared with everyone there. My heart is full!!! We love you guys!!!!

We were also impressed by what is included at the hotel and it was by far the best deal compared to all other venues we looked at. I have absolutely nothing negative to say! Best venue for our perfect day.

g was beautiful and our guests couldn't stop raving about the amazing venue! The food was also very delicious.

ur family now! We also loved the event space, the wait staff (especially John), and the food. We had multiple people come up after the wedding saying the venue and service was amazing. Thank you again Intercontinental!

ed event we had leading up to and on the day of our wedding. As the bridal party arrived to the reception (hotel lobby) Lindsay was waiting in the lobby for us and was prepared for us to enjoy the evening, stress free. We loved all of the hotel amenities, location, views from the suites and getting ready rooms and the wonderful staff! We would recommend this venue to anyone getting married or hosting a large event.

er fast and went to the extra mile to make sure our day was exactly what we wanted!

es and vendors and the customer service that Lindsay gives is AMAZING. I could not have pulled together this wedding without her! The day of the wedding was so smooth, the food was delicious and everyone was so accommodating.

answered and every email was responded to in record time. We loved having our wedding in the Minnesota Ballroom and the staff there made sure it looked beautiful!

Lindsay Wayne was more than we could have asked for! She really went above and beyond to make our day the greatest. She was so helpful throughout the whole planning process and made it as stress free as possible. Also, she made the wedding day run smoothly. I felt completely confident that she would take care of anything that went on that day. Each time we visited we felt so welcomed by all the staff and were well taken care of. We really appreciate all the work the Lindsay and her staff did to make the planning process and wedding day so enjoyable. We couldn't thank you enough!! I would recommend this venue to anyone.

s very pleasant throughout the planning process and was quick to respond to e-mails. She is very organized. Using her list of preferred vendors as a starting point and her planning spreadsheets we did not need to hire an additional wedding coordinator. It was very nice knowing that she was doing last minute communications with our vendors checking the final details. The food was good and the chef was flexible allowing us to make changes. They allow for a variety of meal choices and were efficient making sure meals were served quickly. Allergies and dietary restrictions were easily accommodated. There were a few areas which could be improved. When reserving a room block they only release a few rooms at a time. Thus, when guests would book over the weekend often times a specific type of room would be full. Multiple times we had to contact the Intercontinental to add rooms to our block and sometimes this could not be completed until Monday morning. We ended up being charged at the top end of our estimates. This may be because we suspect were charged per drink for every bottle of liquor opened and not the number of drinks consumed. When our uncle left the bar tender gave him a half bottle of liquor and told him that we had already been charged for it. We were also planning to use a voucher system for breakfast the morning after and were told we would only be charged per voucher used. However, the vouchers were never collected so we ended up paying for every guest that stayed at the hotel even though some of our guests had early flights and never came to breakfast. I guess these could be canceled out by the fact that we had room upgrades for our parents and a champagne toast included. Overall, this was a good location to accommodate our large group and the evening went as planned.

food. Not only were the staff extremely accommodating and polite - they were ready to help and do anything I needed for set up and decoration. Our wedding planner Lindsay Wayne was knowledagable and accommodating. She was so helpful and kind to my My husband and our families. Anything we needed or wanted to make our day great, Lindsay found a way to do it. We are just blown away with the beauty and class of this hotel and their staff. Our day couldnt have been any more perfect. I recommend staying a night in the hotel to experience the beauty and eating at their restaurant. If you decide to go with this hotel for your wedding reception or ceremony- you won’t regret it!

re I fell in love with the dance floor- a beautiful marble compass medallion. We worked with Lindsay Wayne, who was professional, accommodating, and kind. She truly made our experience easy and rewarding. I am not the most organized person, so I really appreciated Lindsay keeping us on-task and up to date on everything we needed to provide. Our meetings were always pleasant and we had the opportunity to eat at the Citizen restaurant on a few occasions- always serving delicious food! Out of all of the drama and frustration that can accompany weddings and planning, working with the InterContinental was perfect and completely drama-free. Lindsay even kept track of our vendors and spoke with them before the wedding to get everyone on the same page. The hotel is beautiful and the views are perfect. Many of our guests said our wedding was one of the best they attended, and we are so happy with the way that everything turned out. I highly recommend anyone who is considering the InterContinental to jump right in because you will not regret it!

preciated that our saleswoman (Lindsay Wayne) was with us every step of the way. She was thorough, organized, understanding, sweet, and thoughtful. Lindsay even saved the day when my dress strap broke 30 minutes before the ceremony. She came running up with a sewing kit and had it fixed in no time! We loved the experience and cannot day enough great things about the InterContinental!

we were going. Once inside there was water, chocolate, and wine waiting for us. The hotel was very grandeur and elegant. We were pleased with the space and natural beauty of the hall and rooms. There was no bad view of the place. Having it over look the river made the views that much better. Lindsay Wayne, the event planner was more than helpful. She went out of her way to make sure we felt taken care of. Lindsay would answer any questions we had on a timely manner. Even if the questions came at night or on the weekend Lindsay would respond. We had quite a few meetings with Lindsay and each time she reassured us that she had everything under control. She personally worked with our other vendors to get them on the same schedule. Lindsay made many accommodations for our friends, family and ourselves. We highly recommend the Intercontinental for any wedding.
