Leopold's Mississippi Gardens Reviews

Share your thoughts with other couples
Reviewed On 1/17/2018 by Brianna D
I highly recommend Mississippi Gardens for your wedding ceremony/reception! Besides the fact that it is an absolutely beautiful venue, the hospitality and service was 5/5. Our Wedding Coordinator, Erin, was extremely tentative and helpful. From...
the very beginning she was available to help answer any question I had and if she wasn't available at that time, she was quick to let me know when she could chat. She made me feel confident about every decision and talked me through the ones I didn't understand or wasn't sure about. Pre-wedding meetings were seamless and I always left them feeling more and more excited for our day. We had a winter wedding, so the ceremony was also at the venue and it was absolutely stunning. We got so many compliments from our guests on the layout and the detail. The chandeliers throughout are AMAZING. The help that we received from the entire Leopold family (Jordan, kids, wife, everyone!) + Erin the day of was truly impressive. Everything went so smoothly and any concern I had the day of was taken care of almost immediately. I could not be happier with my decision to go with this venue and would do it 100 times over again.

ade to feel like they were building the venue just for our wedding. Cathy, Erin, Jamie & Jordan are the most wonderful team to work with, so very accommodating & thoughtful, even up until the day of the wedding. Darren and I were one of the first wedding receptions at Mississippi Gardens and everything went so smooth, it felt like they had been doing this forever, and it was only one of their first events! Our 10/3 wedding was a paramount fall day in Minnesota, crisp & sunny 60 degrees. Being right on the Mississippi River and only a few minutes from our church, it was our ideal location for our wedding reception venue. Close enough to the city but far enough away to escape the hustle. The outdoor space is a beautiful lush bank on the River, (flowers, lush trees, plants, landscaping, etc). The golden lighting was stunning coming through the trees during social hour. It was a perfect outdoor space for guests to relax & children to run around up and down the granite staircase, and explore the beautiful area before sitting down for dinner. Also ideal for pictures outside, with many tall trees, hills, floral, calm river water backdrop, etc etc….so many fall colors and large lavish grounds to see. STUNNING indoor décor, we appreciated every little detail! Its elegant Cinderella meeting rustic chic, the chandeliers against the exposed wood ceiling, the Victorian damask wallpaper against the refurbished wooden mirror, “glamour in the woods” feel, WE LOVED EVERY DETAIL, and so did our guests! From the bathrooms to the window drapery, it’s amazing how everything coordinated and astonished new guests. The food options from Mintahoe were delicious and very customizable - we served the Short Ribs, Wingtip Chicken and the Butternut Squash Ravioli. Each choice was honestly delicious, prepared so well. The presentation of each plate was so intricate & beautiful; the detail was if there was only one plate being made, instead of 240. Our guests commented on the portion sizes being just enough food to have room for our cupcakes & candy buffet. Cathy & Erin blessed us with so many extras and truly made us feel like we were part of their family. They each possess attitudes of service, partnership & accommodation to every little detail when planning a wedding. They each have tremendous experience in the industry, and prepared us in a way in which we knew exactly what to expect the day-of. They gave us abundant confidence in their teams’ execution that we literally had no worries or questions when walking into our social hour the day of our wedding. Cathy, Erin, Jamie & Jordan made us feel that their venue was not just a place that we were renting, but as if it was our home. The hard work and dedication that was put into making this place a stunning venue did not go unnoticed. Mississippi Garden’s magnificence speaks to so much of the individuals that designed it & brought it to life.

y considering we had to move the wedding due to COVID and talked through various scenarios to keep our guests safe. Jamie let me take multiple naps in her office when I wasn’t feeling well and tried to find medicine for me. She also offered my pregnant friend more bread when she couldn’t eat anything else. Erin welcomed us for each site visit and was very accommodating with dropping off items ahead of the wedding. Jordan took guests up from the ceremony in his ATV, which was very helpful for grandparents and guests who were less mobile. Lastly, Steve the bartender was awesome and at the end of the night, he came up to us to give us the bottle opener he used throughout our wedding as a keepsake from our special day. It was so special and really appreciated. Leopold’s Mississippi Gardens is family owned, and we feel like we’re part of the family

Having our wedding at Leopold’s Mississippi Gardens was a dream come true. When we first toured I knew this was where our wedding was meant to take place in July 2020. Unfortunately, COVID hit and attempted to destroy that dream. However, Jamie...
and Erin were great! They worked with me to reschedule to a new date in April 2021. Then in February they called me and suggested I move the wedding once again. They had my original wedding weekend (just in 2021) available. They knew I was a high risk and thought this was my best option to have the safe wedding of my dreams. This blew me away and made me even more appreciative of working with these amazing individuals. Leading up to the wedding they were always available to answer my questions and listen to my concerns. On the day of the wedding, they were amazing. Jamie, Jordan, Erin and the LMG staff were there to take care of any issues that arrived and calmed me when a few items outside of their control were going wrong. Steve the lead bartender was also amazing. I cannot say thank you enough to Jamie, Jordan and Erin for making planning a wedding during COVID a little less stressful. I am so grateful to everything you did to make us feel special and our day feel like a Disney fairytale.

My now husband and I were a “covid” couple and let me just start by saying if we would’ve been able to have our wedding in May 2020, I would have nothing but great things to say about LMG. Unfortunately for us that was not the case and we had t...
o postpone. So covid hit (which is nobody’s fault) and the biggest let down was that we were told we couldn’t pick another “peak season” Saturday date. So we had to settle for an April date, which we didn’t want, and we’d already paid for peak season.. which isn’t April but of course we didn’t get refunded anything but I guess at least we didn’t have to pay more to move it. But you would think that they’d want to make sure the couples that were already booked took priority when all of this started happening. And then when we mentioned to them that we were irritated about the date, which happened when we were a month out from the rescheduled date, they offered to change it last minute and let us have a date we wanted. Why couldn’t that have just been an option from the beginning and not when it’s a month away? Another issue we had was that in the time we had postponed the venue made some changes (the venue took over alcohol service) that resulted in us paying an additional fee of almost two thousand dollars for 30 LESS guests due to something that was out of our control. And I don’t know if it was on the Leopolds side or the Mintahoe (catering) side but we actually had less guests than we had originally paid for but had to pay more out of pocket due to this change that they implemented that we had zero say in. Again, if we would’ve had it in 2020 as planned we wouldn’t have run in to any of this. The last issue we had was that when we arrived on the day of, they had several venue tours scheduled. And maybe it was a bridezilla moment but that really bothered me! We’ve had this day scheduled for over a year and in my opinion there shouldn’t have been any tours while a wedding was going on. They were going to tour the bridal room while we were all getting ready but I asked them not to because it was frustrating that we’ve paid all of this money to rent this place for just our people and then there’s 3 tours scheduled to be running around in the midst of us getting ready and taking our photos. Other than all of that, the venue is absolutely beautiful, the owner Jamie put in a ton of effort to make it nice for us, and it did end up being a wonderful day that was managed well on their end. It’s a very gorgeous ballroom and ceremony site that we instantly fell in love with and it ended up being perfect.
Response from the Vendor on 05/26/2021
We are a family owned and operated company that takes great pride in what we do. We were extremely disheartened to see a post like this come through the Knot. In all honesty, it feels like a punch to the gut. We are passionate about what we...
do and dedicate our heart and soul to every event. It does feel personal when something like this is posted. 2020 was a devastating year for so many people; our couples, family, staff, and business all suffered. While we completely understand the right of a couple to post their thoughts and feelings on a public forum, we do not agree with the complaints outlined above. If any prospective couples read this and ever have any questions, we would be happy to discuss in person rather than post an argumentative or negative response here. We wish Mallory and Mark all the best, and hope that the many, many positives of their day ultimately outweigh the feelings they’ve outlined here.

reviews while looking into wedding venues, and one thing that came up time and again while looking into Mississippi Gardens is how every person on the team treats you "like family." This statement couldn't be more accurate! Not only is the venue absolutely stunning, but the owners and staff are top notch. Jamie, Jordan and Erin went above and beyond, especially when it came to my mother who has Multiple Sclerosis and is confined to a motorized wheelchair. Weeks before our wedding Jordan reached out to our family to ensure my mother's wheelchair would be able to get down to the riverside ceremony. Knowing how busy the Mississippi Gardens team during prime wedding season it's impressive and appreciated that they remembered and wanted to ensure their team had a plan in place, so my mother could get down to the ceremony smoothly and safely on our wedding day. These are those seemingly little things, that really are big things. It was amazing to see owners Jamie and Jordan Leopold actively involved on our wedding day, their commitment doesn't go unnoticed. And Erin made the planning process - from meal planning, day-of details, rehearsal and ceremony run-of-show - fun and easy. Erin has this wedding day thing down to an art. I had a lot of questions throughout the process, and Erin was quick to respond and never made me feel like a nuisance. We've received endless comments from multiple guests on how beautiful the venue was, how delicious the food was and how kind every staff member was - from the bartenders to the servers. Weddings are expensive in general, but I can so wholeheartedly that Mississippi Gardens is worth every penny. It's a true gem of a venue in a great Twin Cities location. Thank you to the entire Leopold's Mississippi Gardens and Mintahoe team for ensuring we had a flawless, fairytale wedding day! We're proud to be part of the Leopold's Mississippi Gardens Family!

The largest downside is the Inflexibility. I feel like this category is a Zero, but they were flexible in some areas. This is likely common for other venues, but seemed too rigid in our opinion. These were the 2 areas that stood out: Only 1 Caterer Option (otherwise a buyout plus fees). Only 2 Options (and our DJ was pretty bad).

From our very first meeting with the manager of operations, we felt like family. We were given all the details (and then some) and offered deals and gifts right away. Every idea we had they listened to and worked to accommodate. For example, when we asked if we could bring in a pool table they said yes and even came in to help set it up and build a structure that could hold up a pool light. It was incredible! Every person there was friendly and so helpful, and I was never afraid to ask for something, or worried about timeliness; communication was effortless and they tackled the actual wedding night effortlessly. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and they are adding new details and pieces all the time. I only wish we could do it again in ten years, because I know they will have evolved into an even more stunning and capable venue.

e turned out any better. The large windows, chandlers, bridal & groom suite and open floor plan make this venue the best in the state! The staff at Mississippi Gardens are also amazing to work with. From day one, they make you feel like family and give you comfort in knowing that the day of you will be in good hands and stress free! I can't say enough good things about this place and am so incredibly happy we were able to have our wedding there!!

From the very beginning, I was sold on Mississippi Gardens. It's in a beautiful setting, right on the river, with a huge deck over looking it. It was perfect for our social hour and got many compliments on how nice of a place it is. The inside ...

The Mississippi Gardens team was the best to work with. They were extremely communicative, accommodating, and professional throughout the entire process. They are truly willing to go above and beyond for your special day. Not to mention they ...
have an absolutely GORGEOUS venue that they keep improving week to week. During our ceremony, we forgot the candles for the candle ceremony. The owner, Jordan Leopold, ran and found the candles then crawled behind the stage to pass them to the groomsmen to set up. It was hilarious, awesome, and just goes to show that they are really there for you on your day.

ul in every step of the planning process. The staff is extremely flexible which helps a lot because we don’t live in the state and had to do a lot of the planning through emails. But any time we were in town they always made time for us to tour the venue, do food tastings and help us with any planning/questions that we had. We got so many compliments on how amazing the food was and how beautiful the venue was. I would recommend this venue to anyone. The Leopold’s and there staff treat everyone as if they were family and will do anything they can to make your event perfect in every way! Hands down best venue in Minnesota!!!

The best planning decision we made was booking Mississippi Gardens. I've worked with a lot of different vendors and the staff here are unlike anyone else I've done events with. Jamie, Jordan, Erin and Courtney might be some the hardest working...
people in the wedding business. But what's even cooler about them is that they are so fun to be around! They can make you feel like you're a part of their family (which, when you're a stressed out bride, is just the best feeling). We had a few hiccups during the ceremony (including a sudden rainstorm) and they handled it so smoothly that the guests couldn't even tell there were changes! Furthermore, the space is gorgeous and so functional. You could do as much or as little as you'd like in terms of decor and have a beautiful wedding either way. Whether you're a low-key couple who doesn't want to have to think about much or someone looking to create a dramatic event, the skilled staff and beautiful space will be exactly what you need.

g of our dreams. Being an out of town bride and groom, we were initially concerned about planning a wedding from a distance, but working with the team at MG was such a wonderful experience. They were attentive, proactive, and overall just amazing group of people to work with. The Venue itself is gorgeous! Nestled near the Mississippi river, it provides breath-taking views of the river and the beautiful landscape surrounding it. The hall itself is magnificent with large chandeliers, floor to ceiling windows, and classy design. The set up, the attention to detail, the servers, the food, everything was phenomenal and beyond anything that we had ever imagined! We are still buzzing from the experience and our guests are still raving about the place. We couldn’t have asked for a better team of professionals to help make our dream wedding come true. Our wedding day felt like a fairy tale and the decision to have our wedding at MG was by far the best decision we’ve made throughout the entire planning process. Worth Every single penny!!
