Minneapolis Golf Club

by her, but I’m so glad I followed her advice! Plus our guests raved about the food. My fiancé and I couldn’t of been happier at this beautiful venue.

ll be well taken care of!

ll the staff were very friendly and helpful on the day. Our guests loved the champagne greeting and all our food was amazing (Petite filet and Tuscan chicken)! They were also very accommodating with different dietary needs. It is a gorgeous venue and I highly recommend MGC!!

Wellington and Walleye were both awesome)! The ballroom is at once spacious and intimate. We appreciated the MGC's "all inclusive" approach (no silly cake-cutting fees, etc). Definitely take a look!

We've received a lot of positive feedback from our guests about the food and the gorgeous club. After seeing other venues online that cost an ungodly amount of money just to rent the room, we were so pleasantly surprised by MGC's very modest room rental fee and food and beverage minimum. Especially because it's a stunning banquet hall and the food is amazing. And not to mention, Nancy Johnson (the Director of Events) and the whole catering staff are just wonderful and easy to work with. The day of coordinator, Dan, was great and ensured the day ran smoothly. This was the easiest part of wedding planning because of their team. Cherry on top: Nancy's communication is incredible. She is excellent at communicating with couples so you're never in the dark (example: she was going to be out of town for a week, and took the time to send a letter to all of her couples well in advance letting us know and reassuring us that we would hear back promptly upon her return.) Have your reception here. You'll be so glad you did!

couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. THANK YOU!

d and at ease. My parents were from out of state and met Nancy for the first time at the food tasting. After the tasting, my parents commented that this was the first time they felt comfortable having the wedding in another state because of how professional and prepared Nancy was. When it came to the wedding day, it was nothing short of a fairytale wedding. Nancy and her staff had the venue looking absolutely amazing! All night, I kept getting compliments from my guests about how beautiful the venue was (keep in mind, I only brought in a few flowers for decoration), how nice the staff were, and how amazing the food was. I genuinely didn’t have to think about a thing the day of my wedding because the staff was so prepared and took care of everything. If I were to do it again, 10 times over I would select the Minneapolis Golf Club as my venue.

t off - Nancy. She is the event coordinator at Minneapolis Golf Club and she is a true professional. She communicated clearly and was willing to work with us on everything. She provided excellent feedback and ideas to us, working to make sure everything was coordinated and setup. It felt almost like she was a mini Wedding planner for us, it was amazing. The meet-up a couple days before the reception really went smoothly and helped to keep both of us calm and collected that everything was in good hands. Food - MGC did a great job with the food. We did the filet and the Tarragon Chicken and they were both spectacular! Not to mention the delicious appetizers that were served to our guests via butlers. The social hour was a hit with the delicious apps and the wine station (plus bar). Timing and Service - Excellent service, everything moved very smoothly from course to course. The staff was well-dressed and very polite, making sure to keep everyone fed and keep wine poured. They also did a good job keeping an eye out to make sure no one was over-imbibing. They were also very helpful in directing traffic and helping some of our more elderly guests to each location. The venue itself was beautiful. The room for the social hour was very well organized and made for great times to chat and catch up with everyone. The banquet hall itself was also beautiful - well lit, clean, and elegant. We had about 160 people and the room felt spacious. The dance floor was in a great location and as night fell, the patio outside was lit with pretty string lights and the golf club had gas heaters outside for anyone looking to take a small break from dancing. The pictures outside are great, it has a really cool old-school golf club feeling with the covered entrance, foyer, and pillars in front. The rear side is also a great place for photos - we are so happy with how they turned out. As another small note, there is a bridal suite on the 2nd floor that was incredibly convenient to use - it was large and had a women's bathroom right across for privacy. It was a good place for the bridal group to catch a breath and store anything that might be needed through the night. We would highly recommend MGC to anyone looking to have an AWESOME reception. We only can hope we get to attend more weddings at this cool venue.

that included highly rated in-house catering (check), a space for ceremony and reception with a view (check), a large space for bridal party to get ready in (check) and a beautiful landscape for outdoor pictures (check). From the start, Nancy, the event coordinator was quick to respond to our inquiries and requests. We toured the venue during the off-season (February) and had our wedding on October 19th, 2018. MGC is a charming, elegant, romantic setting. It was cozy, welcoming and just hands-down beautiful - no matter what time of year! There were a few things my husband and I wanted changed or do differently than what MGC typically does, and Nancy was always supportive and accommodating of our wishes. There was one hiccup (on our end) of a family member that was trying to get information on our wedding that we were not comfortable with. Nancy handled the situation in a professional, calm and respectful manner. I was so thankful for her support and reassurance that we were her clients and she will do what we need for our day. Our tasting with Nancy was laid back and fun! We walked through all the details and my husband and I knew we were in good hands. Nancy really knows what she is talking about! Oh, and the food and wine were out of this world good!! Our final walk through the week of our wedding was nothing different. Nancy was able to answer all our questions and calm our nerves; it felt like we were working with a friend! All the waiting staff were also accommodating, respectful and made sure we had what we needed when we were on the MGC grounds. Where MGC truly shinned was on our wedding day. We truly felt like royalty on our day. Crystal, our day-of personal waitress was energetic, positive and attentive. She checked in while we were getting ready and made sure everyone in the room had what they needed/wanted. I was calm throughout the day, as my personal attendant was in communication with Nancy making sure all the décor and vendors were set up and ready to go. My PA told my Nancy had everything in control and there was nothing to worry about. After my husband and I walked down the aisle, Nancy was there greeting us with two glasses of champagne to congratulate us! Fun fact – it was her anniversary that day too! It was a small gesture that had big impact on us. Our photographers and videographer were able to take our pictures on the golf course, the picture-perfect grounds made for amazing backdrops for our photos. The evening went on without a hitch and all our guests continued to say how fantastic the food, drinks, service and venue were; we couldn’t agree more! While there was a slight mis-communication about our late-night snack, Nancy was very professional and communicated with us about the situation. If this was the only issue that happened on our wedding day – I’ll take it! After our wedding, we received our final bill and the estimates Nancy had were nearly spot on! She is amazing. As my husband and I look back on our wedding day, we would choose Minneapolis Golf Club again – 100%! We are highly impressed with their service, catering and willingness to accommodate to ensure our wedding was unique and personalized. Our wedding day was the best day of our lives, and we have MGC to thank for that. Must-haves about this venue: Champagne toast, hors d’oeuvres, gas lamps on veranda, and Nancy & Crystal!

ways prompt in her responses to questions and she seemed to always go above and beyond. She was born to do her job and it shows. Our wedding was beautiful and people are still talking about it. People raved about the food and I have to agree it was amazing! Wait staff were polite and courteous. Everyone let us have our day and allowed us to feel at home in the club. They weren't intrusive, more of a steady presence if we needed them. If you are in question pick this venue you can't go wrong!

e also was a mishap with the keg but Nancy took care of it and I was informed within 10 minutes of walking in the door. It was not a big deal but being told that, made myself feel better! The food was absolutely amazing!!! We were told by many guests that dinner was delicious, and the portions were huge! I LOVED that the venue has a separate area for social hour, so we could check everything out the ballroom before guests sat down. It was a nice feeling knowing we could change something quick before all our guests saw. MGC is beautiful and it is also very affordable! My husband and I shopped around and looked at over 12 venues! We had close to the max number of people and it still did not feel squished, lots of room! The large windows are beautiful and make for fabulous pictures on the dance floor! I am so excited to get the rest of my wedding photos from the venue and out on the golf course! The course in beautiful and being able to take some pictures out there, is an awesome perk! Cannot say enough good things about MGC and I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone and everyone!!!

way by the incredible staff. Nancy is outstanding to work with and a true expert! She had so many helpful suggestions and her impeccable organization truly made our day perfect! We were also so impressed with the delicious food and got lots of compliments on how good it was! Overall, this venue is best in class and has an event team that knows exactly what to do to make your day special!

red, and efficient. Nancy was absolutely professional, honest and provided us with information and advice to help make our wedding day flawless. The night of our wedding went seamlessly besides one issue, but the social hour, dinner, and reception were amazing. The bartenders, servers, and support staff kept things moving smoothly and the chefs prepared the most delicious meal. We received so much feedback from our family and friends praising the food, venue and the whole experience at the club. The only issue that took place on our wedding night was we were told by Nancy we could use the golf cart to go out and take bride/groom photos. When we asked for a golf cart the wedding manager (Nancy was out of town) that night told us the golf carts were closed for the year. Now, this was not an issue until we came back the next day to get a few things and saw people out on the course using golf carts. We still got amazing shots but being lied to was upsetting. Over all the Minneapolis Golf Club is an amazing venue and I highly recommend it to any couple. Nancy made all our choices a lot easier and helped make our day remarkable!

alone, we would recommend this place! The venue itself was absolutely perfect. It’s elegant but not over the top. The lounge area is very warm and welcoming. We barely used any decorations because their reception hall is already so beautiful. The food and appetizers were really good, and not just wedding food good, like “we were eating at a nice restaurant” good! They also give you a lot of food so your guests will be happy and full! The bartenders and service staff were professional, and the food came out exactly when they said it would. Also, my wife and I got great photos on the beautiful golf course. We had a fall wedding and the trees were turning colors. Combine that with the very green course and the scenic pond, and you are left with stunning views. It’s not just us that thought this place was great. We received many compliments from our guests during and after our wedding about this venue. I know I’m probably missing some other details that may be helpful, as the day goes by so quickly, but just know that literally everything went so smoothly! We were so happy with this place. We did lots of shopping around, and the price was very reasonable compared to other venues in the Twin Cities area. Before you make any final decision on your venue, you have to give MGC a call. Nancy and the MGC team will really help to make your day as close to perfect as possible! My wife and I cannot recommend this place enough!

azing! I would highly recommend MGC for your wedding!!

ind, courteous, and efficient. Nancy was an absolute professional and a true life saver! Her mastery of event planning and organization was clear from the first day we met her and saw the venue. Nancy provided us with information and advice throughout the planning process to make our wedding day perfect. The wedding event booklet she provided is a resource that we referred to often leading up to the wedding. We want to say a huge thank you to the one-of-a-kind Crystal for keeping the Bride, wedding party, and family comfortable before the ceremony. She made us all feel relaxed and at home at the club, knowing that she was on top of anything we needed. At the social hour, dinner, and reception, the professional bartenders, servers, and support staff kept things moving smoothly and the chefs prepared such a delicious meal. In the past two weeks we've heard our family and friends praising the venue and sharing how lovely the whole experience was at the club. For those lucky couples searching for a venue this is one that you just can't skip!

ful through our planning as well as on the big day. They were very accommodating and helped everything go very smoothly. The food at this venue was fantastic, we received so many compliments from our guests. We did our ceremony and reception at the club. They were so quick with the room flip. We would choose Minneapolis golf club again if we did it all over again. We have no negative comments

on of our day. We were planning the wedding from out of town, so MGC was the perfect choice because they handle catering, day-of coordination, etc. The cost is extremely affordable, especially when we compared to other venues near downtown Minneapolis. They send tons of helpful materials to prepare for the day and help us stay on schedule. The tasting was delicious, and the food delivered during the wedding as well. Our guests raved about the food including appetizers during cocktail hour (cheese curds, scallops, spanakopita) and dinner (salmon/petit filet). Molly, the on-site manager for the wedding, kept the whole show running smoothly. The entire staff was cordial and accommodating. We got great feedback from guests on how awesome the bar tenders were and how impeccable the service was. Our wedding was a dream, and the team at MGC played a huge part in that.

nd is gorgeous on its own. We highly recommend the MGC to anyone looking for a classy wedding venue. You won't be disappointed!

s without any decorations. Not only was it beautiful, it was very reasonable compared to many other venues we looked at. The rental charge for the space was far lower than any other venue we toured and there were no extra charges or fees, which was amazing as wedding costs add up quickly. Nancy, the wedding coordinator at MGC, was SO incredibly nice and helpful. She was quick to respond to emails and always happy to answer any and all questions I had. The staff at MGC was simply incredible the night of our wedding! They kept things running exactly according to schedule and allowed us to just have fun and enjoy the night without worrying about any logistics. We went with an Italian Buffet for dinner and got so many comments from our guests how amazing the food was. The bar staff was great and super friendly and accommodating to our guests all night. The charge for food and alcohol was also a lot less than we found at other venues, which was an added plus. MGC even let us store flowers and some decorations overnight the night of our wedding so we didn't have to haul it all out immediately after the reception ended. I would recommend this venue to everyone! We can't thank MGC enough - it truly was the wedding of our dreams!

ts RAVED about our wedding for months afterwards. We recommend it to everyone we know who is planning a wedding, and especially with Nancy Johnson as our wedding coordinator - she really helped us plan and pull off the wedding reception of our dreams. Thank you to the MGC for our incredible day!!! Would recommend 10/10 to everyone for location, staff, food, venue decor and space, etc. Thank you endlessly! Great prices too compared to other venues in the twin cities area!!

went out during our dance because of a neighborhood outage. Molly and the rest of the staff went above and beyond to keep our dance going! They found wireless speakers for the DJ and used their uplighting to light the bathrooms. We couldn't have been happier with our choice of venue! Our guests raved about the beauty of the space and how much fun they had overall. We highly recommend MGC!

d tremendously! The food was amazing and the service was great!

irst, you’re not going to find someone as knowledgeable, professional, and flexible as Nancy, the catering director and wedding advisor extraordinaire at MCG. Nancy does a great job at making all of the options and decisions very clear and concise. We knew from the beginning exactly what to expect at all points of the timeline and when decisions would be needed. When we were uncertain or asked for her advice, she would confidently give us her opinion, but ultimately let us make all of our own decisions. She was very responsive to questions and accommodating to our schedules when we needed to visit the club. She is also insanely accurate when budgeting the food and beverage costs for the wedding. Nancy, Molly, and their whole team was always professional, smiling, and provided nothing but the best customer service every time we visited. They were extremely gracious with our vendors, allowing ample time for them to see the space, come in and drop off day-of items, etc. Secondly, the space at MCG is absolutely gorgeous. We used minimal décor because the rooms were just so beautiful, they didn’t need much more! The ballroom was the perfect size for our group and the two rooms used for the social hour were full of natural light and warmth. All of it overlooks the back of the golf course, so it’s just a gorgeous backdrop. Last, the food. Seriously the food. This is not your run of the mill banquet food. It’s incredible that they are able to maintain such a high quality when serving so many people. My husband and I both commented that it was definitely the best wedding food we’d ever had, but it would be great even for a restaurant! People raved about the braised beef short rib as well as the brat and cheese curd appetizers. The timing was great for 200 people. There were several other little things which made MCG the perfect choice for us as well. It really is a one-stop shop. They provide all the linens, table décor options, food prepared in-house at the restaurant, cake cutting, bartending, etc. The fact that they cover all of these services saves so much time and headaches trying to find and coordinate all of your own vendors! Leading up to the wedding, we were able to focus on the little details that were really important to us. Our wedding guests stayed at the Marriott West, which is about a mile from the golf club, providing a very easy commute for the guests in the rented shuttle. Some things to keep in mind- If you have a lot of your own décor and personal items, make sure you designate several people to remove these at the end of the night so you don’t have to worry about it. Also, when you go in for your food tasting, live it up! Going into it, we had our minds pretty made up, but ultimately wish we would’ve tried a few more entrees at the tasting as we ended up going with completely different options. MCG puts on such a beautiful tasting, it’s honestly more like a nice night out to dinner. So, enjoy! Honestly, it was a joy to work with Nancy, Molly, and the team at MCG and we wish we could go back and do it all again! While wedding planning seemed stressful at the beginning, it ended up being a great experience at MCG, so enjoy every meeting and decision along the way 😊

nd many guest commented on how amazing everything tasted. It is a beautiful venue and we'd highly recommend it.

to! It meant so much to us that everyone had such an unforgettable time, & we can’t thank everyone at MGC enough. The venue fit our guests perfectly, & you have an onsite coordinator & staff for the day of & throughout planning. The food preparation & presentation are great, & the stunning venue & golf course gives a beautiful setting without needing much additional decoration. Nancy is the best wedding coordinator in the business. She was so helpful throughout the entire planning process, provided a wonderful list of vendors. Her recommendations were spot on when it came to meal planning & decorations. Her attention to detail, her follow up with vendors, & her terrific staff assured us that everything would run smoothly on the big day. Nancy’s expertise & her responsiveness made the weeks leading up to the wedding worry free. It was amazing to see how her staff transformed the ballroom from a ceremony setting to a dinner reception in under two hours, & all the while hosting a beautiful cocktail hour for our guests in the adjacent Fireside room. The whole day went perfectly, & we couldn't have been happier. The food was absolutely amazing. I am often disappointed with “banquet” food. Not at MGC! We received so many compliments about the dinner from our guests. For the cocktail hour we offered: Shrimp Cocktail, Tuna Lavosh, Coconut Chicken, Scotch Eggs, Caprese Bites. For dinner, we offered our guests a choice of filet or walleye. The steaks were cooked to perfection & absolutely delicious. The walleye was a great option for our out of towners to get a taste of MN. It was prepared perfectly, not overly breaded, & crispy just the way it should be. The presentation of each course, & the service was amazing! We offered late night snacks with a MN State Fair theme, & they were a hit. Mini corn dogs, cheese curds, mini donuts, & pizza to top it off. Everyone loved the snacks & got another taste of MN. We had an early June wedding & we were so lucky to have a perfect day. The golf course was green, flowers were blooming, & we were able to take pictures in many settings around the grounds which gave us many beautiful photos to capture the day. The girls & I were able to use a large room upstairs to get ready together before the ceremony. There was plenty of room to have our hair & makeup done, & we kept our personal items there throughout the day. Breakfast, lunch, & mimosas were catered in, which made preparations relaxing! The ceremony was in the ballroom, & we used mostly flowers & greenery to decorate. The ballroom is so beautiful, you don't need much else. Just outside the ballroom we used pictures, a guestbook, & several flower arrangements & had placed small flower bouquets & pictures in the Fireside room for cocktail hour. Decorations that you bring in yourself (not from vendor), need to be set up yourself, so make sure to have some friends/family available to help. We got a sneak peek of the reception/ballroom before they let everyone in for dinner, & I was in awe. Between the MGC staff & my vendors, they were able to create my vision & give me the most beautiful dinner reception I had ever seen. We were so happy with the venue we chose & wouldn't change a thing about our wedding day!

s hospitable, prepared, professional, and kind. They truly made our vision for our day come to life. In the months following our wedding I have continued to hear stories from our guests and vendors of the big and little ways this venue went above and beyond. Each time I went in for a tour, planning, or tasting I left feeling at ease about the day and all the planning. They would give great recommendations on how to schedule the night, what to offer as far as food and drinks go, how to arrange the seating chart, and also gave great vendor recommendations (I used every single one of their recommended vendors and was so happy with them). In addition to doing a great job and running everything smoothly, the cost estimates were very accurate, there were no hidden fees, we knew exactly what we were getting. The central location was also a huge bonus, guests were able to find it easily, have accessible parking or drop off, and easily able to Uber if they would like (also nearby west-end and hotels making it a great experience for out of town guests). I cannot recommend this venue enough to couples seeking a great venue for their special day!

gh, we knew we would be in great hands throughout the entire process. If you are lucky enough to have Nancy as your right-hand gal and the beautiful MGC as your backdrop for your wedding, I guarantee you will think back on your big day with so much Joy (and peace!) because they do all of the heavy-lifting. The service was amazing, the food was delicious, the space was magical...and it was the perfect place to celebrate the start of our life as Mr. & Mrs!

e that the staff has organized keeps you on track and tells you exactly what you need to have completed along the way. Leading up to the big day, the staff were quick to respond to any questions and were flexible and accommodating with any changes we had. We received many compliments on how great the food was and how courteous the staff were the whole night. We appreciated how the event manager communicated with us during the reception and kept us informed of everything that we needed to know along the way. Overall, my husband and I would highly recommend the Minneapolis Golf Club and were so thrilled with how amazing our reception was!!

allroom. Our guests were on the dance floor all night. Nancy and her staff are so amazing at their jobs. Even our guests agree! The food was delicious, we had the filet mignon and crispy tuscan chicken. Everything went so smooth and it made our day so perfect. Thank you MGC!!!

d about the food and event space. Working with Nancy was also wonderful. She always answered my emails promptly and was very helpful. I am so happy we had our reception here and I can't thank Nancy and her staff enough! You guys do an amazing job! My only suggestions would be fans or something for the dance floor and the option to clean up the next day. But neither of these things were big deals, and maybe we were all just dancing too much :)

s on the incredibly elegant (but not stuffy) venue. The food was also a huge hit as well! Exactly what I wanted with a country club wedding. Cannot recommend Nancy and Minneapolis Golf Club enough!

s as well. Great place.

ite coordinator is clutch. Nancy and her team made sure that we knew exactly how our tables would be laid out, advised on how many people comfortably can fit at each table, allowed us to drop our décor off early, and were always available for questions during the planning process and the day of. We didn’t have to worry about a thing! 2) Having an on-site coordinator is great, but having one who knows this business like the back of her hand is pricesless. After we gave Nancy our estimated headcount, she gave us a ratio of how many beef vs. chicken plates were likely, how much beer and wine our friends and family would consume, and the right amount of appetizers... after it was all said and done, for our wedding of 200 people, she was $154 off! My husband and I are still stunned at how dead-on she was. We saved the final bill just because we’re nerds who love numbers and we were so impressed by her skills. 3) The space is stunning. A piece of advice: try to amplify the vibe of the place, and your look will be elevated beyond your dreams! We’ve seen a few people try to fight the décor, but if you choose colors that compliment the taupe walls, warm lights, and brown chairs, you can really transform it without even having to bring much in. We did gold chargers, lots of greenery, and candles galore and the space was drop dead gorgeous. I cried when I walked into the reception hall and saw it all. In addition to the aesthetic appeal, you get lots of space for your guests, and you will LOVE the food. Which brings me to my next point…. 4) …THE FOOD IS AMAZING. A friend of mine texted me afterward (unprompted) and said "your wedding food ruined me for all other weddings". Even at our tasting, we were shocked at how delicious it was and how big the portions were. We chose the stuffed mushroom caps, cheese curd and sausage, caprese, and meatball appetizers. For main dishes, we went with the Tuscan chicken and beef short rib. We received sooo many compliments on it all! The only drawback I would caution about is that it can be a little hard to try to host your entire day here. We originally booked the space because we wanted a location that fit our budget (MGC was actually the most affordable of all of the locations we looked at!) and allowed the day to be hosted all in one location. After planning to do the ceremony there, we ended up changing plans quite late in the game because it was going to be really hard to get quality photographs at the venue with our family and wedding party due to the restrictions on photography. While we knew this going in, my husband and I weren’t going to be able to go onto the golf course until about 3pm because it was a Saturday in summer and a busy golf day. Obviously, with a wedding timeline, 3pm is waaay to late to start portraits, so we ended up booking somewhere else. Overall, I cannot recommend this venue enough for a reception, but would potentially advise somewhere else for ceremony if wedding party / family photography is really important to you. Thanks again to the MGC staff for making our reception absolutely wonderful! ☺

ning process when I had random questions. Our guests just loved the food! Everything ran so smoothly and the staff was amazing the day of. This venue is a great value. We would highly recommend the MGC for your wedding reception! -Briana & David

om the venue work? How is the food? How is the price? The questions go on and on. However, between you, me, and the internet, the biggest reason we picked the Minneapolis Golf Club as our venue is one that I feel is often overlooked. My wife and I took all of these factors into consideration before choosing to get married at the Minneapolis Golf Club. As soon as we walked through the front doors we knew we liked the style and class of the place. The over 100 year old building exudes a feeling of class and elegance the second you walk in the door. A person could spend hours looking at all of the intricacies within the design of this venue (and it feels like we did). On top of that, the food was spectacular and the size was perfect for our event. All of that being said, after looking at about a dozen different venues, my wife and I were stuck between the Minneapolis Gold Club and one other venue that also met all of our qualifications. The reason we picked the MGC was one that we did not expect, and that reasons name is Nancy Johnson. Nancy is the catering director at MGC and I cannot imagine a person who is a more perfect fit for her job. From the second I first shook Nancy's hand, two things were very apparent. First, that my wife an I both instantly felt a connection with her, and second, that this woman really knew what she was doing. She could instantly answer any questions we had for her (even some of the weird and less common ones). Therefore, after hours of pro and con charts and discussion, my wife and I put all of our marbles in the MGC basket because of Nancy, and we never regretted it for a second. Time after time Nancy went above and beyond what was expected of her to help us get to and through our special day. If ever there was an issue with the planning process (drapery for example), Nancy personally walked us through the problem to make sure we were comfortable with the solution. She truly made everything easier. On the actual day of our wedding, we learned that another thing Nancy shines at is hiring her support staff. While we were lucky enough to have Nancy at our event personally, she can't be everywhere at the same time. That being said, her support staff was never too far away to help with anything that we needed. The few minor bumps that we had to deal with were resolved quickly and seamlessly. All of that being said, our wedding night was as close to perfect as it possibly could have been, and we have Nancy and the Minneapolis Golf Club to thank for that. I would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone who asks. It truly was an amazing night. -Bryan and Emily

e in Minneapolis!

on the day of the wedding she made sure everything ran smoothly. Highly recommend you check out MGC for any event!

ions! The classic elegance of the venue suited our sparkling winter wedding perfectly. My whole family was able to relax and enjoy the day because we knew that everything was under control. You can't ask for anything more than that!

d and drink. Great experience!

ecuted. All of our guests raved about the incredible food was and the attentive and polite the staff. They turn the ballroom into the most elegant environment. Every aspect of this place is gorgeous and classy. Nancy was a dream to work with every step of the way by laying out her recommendations and taking our ideas and making them a reality. She took a tremendous amount of stress off of me. If anyone is even remotely considering the Minneapolis Golf Club, please do not hesitate to meet with Nancy and tour the club.

urb appeal the the feel of the space. Besides my husband, the best decision I made was to have our reception here! The details are just impeccable. Could not be happier.

e was going to be fun to work with. It is clear to see that Nancy has a passion for this. Molly, the manager on duty that weekend, did a fantastic job keeping things organized and running smoothly. The bartenders were friendly and very personable to talk to. The wait staff was diligent about getting food out in a timely fashion. We can't say enough great things about the level of service we received this past weekend. Thank you again, Minneapolis Golf Club, for making our wedding weekend one to remember!

room well and the sound was great. Our guests continue to tell us that we had the best wedding food they've ever tasted! The pork was superb! Thank you MGC for making it a day we will always cherish!

he moment we stepped foot through the double doors. At 100 years old, it gives off a classic, historic, elegant, timeless vibe—exactly how I wanted my wedding to feel for our guests. The venue coordinator, Nancy Johnson, and her team were incredible to work with. They answered any and every question I had throughout the planning process, recommended some great vendors, and were constantly offering suggestions to make our big day as special as possible. And the food! Our guests could not stop raving about the appetizers (the cheese curds and Philly cheesesteak egg rolls were favorites) and entrées (walleye and filet mignon) we selected at our tasting. Everything came out hot, on time, and perfectly cooked. They also provided mimosas in the morning and deli trays for the gals while getting ready. The day was more perfect than we could have imagined, thanks to this team. When we returned from our honeymoon and realized they had gifted us a certificate to come back for dinner, I nearly broke down in tears remembering how perfect they made our day!

les should be prepared to deal with what we went through. First, the capacity states 240, but Nancy said 220 would be more comfortable. We had 203 total and it was insanely tight. There was about 2 feet between tables, including the head table (along the windows). No room to breathe or move around! It was awkward and we and our guests felt very cramped. Second issue - we were arriving in a limo after an hour long cocktail service and wanted everyone seated so we could get inside and freshen up before the grand march without being seen by everyone. It was Nancy's idea for her or her assistant to run out to the limo and personally let us know once we were in the clear to come inside unseen. After arriving exactly when we said we would and sitting in the limo for about 25 minutes waiting for everyone to be seated and for them to let us know, we finally had to send a groomsmen inside to see what was going on. Nobody was seated and literally nothing was happening. We were behind schedule, so finally he started forcing people to sit which was NOT his job. Nancy and Paige were nowhere to be seen (Nancy ended up being out of town). It was so tacky and tasteless for us to have to do this ourselves. Third issue, the dance floor. We had a large band performing and they were to set up at the end of the room by the windows overlooking the course. The band needed more space apparently than the staff expected, so they had to set up their equipment on half of the dance floor. Keep in mind this is all happening the morning of, while I'm preparing to get married and am not at all worrying about the reception venue as Nancy and her staff have assured me that all of our plans are nicely in place. We arrive to find that half of the dance floor is covered by the band itself, there's about 6 x20 feet for guests to dance on. It was ridiculous and SO embarrassing. Our party wanted to dance, but most people couldn't fit and had to dance on the carpet instead. When I brought this to their attention while following up after the wedding, I was told I should have approached them to move the dance floor. Really? I told them that they could have moved the dance floor out so the band would not be on it at all and just put tables on the dance floor if necessary (that would later be removed), but apparently that idea didn't come to mind when setting up. Nancy and her team took zero responsibility for our reception setup looking like a joke (besides our flowers from Richfield Florals and Events - those were amazing). Even people who weren't at the wedding have commented on how small the dance floor looks in pictures. The food was decent, not as good as during the tasting, but good enough. Oh yea, our head table was not served anything to drink until AFTER the welcome toast. I expressed all of this to Nancy and was met with denying they did anything wrong. Nancy and her "team" made us feel so confident and that everything was under control. We had read great reviews and thought we had made a great choice, but I would not use this venue if I could and do it all over again.

ncy was able to resolve the problem right away for us. She also knows several vendors and those recommendations were also a joy to work with. Nancy will go out of her way to make sure your day is nothing but perfect!

ancy and her team of Molly and Paige, were absolute professionals in planning out and discussing the ideas we had to make our day special. All of the food was exquisite (especially the late night pizza) and I heard so many wonderful compliments from our guests about how beautiful the reception site was. If we ever had any questions or concerns, Nancy was there for us every step of the way to assure us that the question was answered or she would have a solution to the problem. The only sad part was that we couldn't take wedding photos on the golf course due to the rain that fell earlier in the day, but you cannot control the weather on your wedding day and you just need to do the best you can to make it extra special. We we're still able to get photos on the 10th hole and use the beautiful landscaping around the venue as a background. The skies cleared up at the end of the day, so we did get some wonderful sunset photos that I'm sure will turn out amazing. Overall I would highly recommend the Minneapolis Golf Club as a wedding reception site especially if you are looking for a once in a lifetime event for your special day.

d every question I had promptly and professionally. The in person meetings we had went wonderfully. I couldn't say more good things about all of the people we were in contact with. Nancy knows her stuff! The prices are definitely fair and are actually much better than most places. We loved knowing how much it would cost and we didn't have to worry about extra charges popping up. On the day of the wedding, everything went according to plan. We used the upstairs room to get ready in. It is so spacious and beautiful. It was perfect for our hairstylists and makeup artists. The staff was so sweet and fun. Everyone was extremely professional. Our pictures turned out great and there were a ton of cool places in front of the building to take pictures. Our guests were blown away by the beauty and uniqueness of a club. It is definitely not a typical golf club and has a different feel that we loved. I loved having my wedding at MGC and would recommend anyone to have their wedding there!

absolutely amazing! Nancy took care of everything and had suggestions for everything that I had questions on. She is extremely organized, but very flexible. The reception planning process was far less stressful knowing that everything would be taken care of. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful location and wonderful employees that ensure everything runs very smoothly.

aving us worry free. The guests particularly loved the butler passed hors d'oeuvres and the steak and shrimp entree!

h was great because I was NOT a DIY bride). We got tons of compliments on the venue. The MGC was affordable and had very straightforward pricing - which is huge if you have looked at the pricing at other venues that have many hidden costs. The food was delicious - we had the Pasta Primavera and Wild Rice Cashew Chicken - and we had great service. Molly who works with Nancy is also great! Nancy Johnson answered all my questions in the months leading up to the wedding and had great suggestions for vendors and other tips. She even called and clarified an order with one of my vendors during our final meeting so I didn't have to. I highly recommend the Minnesota Gold Club! They know what they are doing.

he wedding things went so smoothly I didn't even have to think about what was going to happen next, they had everything covered! The food was very good and everyone was raving about it. HIGHLY recommend this as your wedding ceremony/reception location. Katie and Jacob

cluded a checklist leading up to the big day - this was so helpful to reference throughout the planning process to make sure we had everything in order. The staff is very responsive, which left little to worry about leading up to our wedding. We highly recommend this venue to others, and will forever remember our amazing reception and experience thanks to this incredible team! Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing in our special day!

e kept me calm throughout the entire planning process, even helping with a few creative decisions and vendor recommendations. Many guests complimented me and my husband on the service provided by the golf club staff as well as the appetizers and food served. We were very pleased with how quickly the plated dinner was served. Everything ran very smoothly logistics and time-wise. Molly, a staff member, was attentive to our every need... thank you Molly!!! Nancy and her staff certainly have weddings down to a science. Thank you Minneapolis Golf Club for a wedding we, and our guests, will not soon forget.

and she couldn't have been more responsive with all the questions we had (emails, calls, etc. with random questions that came up throughout the planning). We had a live band, dessert bar and photo booth and the set-up was beyond perfect. Not to mention, the food is so delicious and would recommend the Chicken Wild Rice, especially for a fall wedding. The MGC is the real deal and package, especially when it comes down to value and trying to stay within a reasonable budget. Nancy is honest and upfront and will make sure to work with the vision you want to bring to life. There is so much charm and elegance to the MGC, perfect for any wedding. We would recommend to anyone!

. We received many compliments on the venue and the food. Would highly recommend this venue to others.

food was awesome too!

ent without a hitch. The staff working the wedding was awesome!! We had multiple people tell us how great the service was. I wouldn't change anything!

make for great photo opportunities. And the food was out of this world - our guests were raving! We could not have done it without the amazing coordination and attention to detail that Nancy has - it was the most perfect day in every way. We would highly recommend the MGC to anyone who asks and would give anything to relive our day there over and over again!

g to be there on the day of eased my Type-A crazy mind completely. We had a couple of meetings with Nancy (including some last minute drop ins so additional people could see the space) and a great food tasting. We couldn't taste the appetizers but all the food was fabulous and we have received wonderful feedback about it. We took all of Nancy's suggestions (uplighting, food counts, etc) and she was spot on. Our estimate only ended up with us owing another $125. It was great not to have surprise expenses to throw off the budget. I know there's more I should mention but I can't remember enough details even anymore even though it was only two weeks ago. The day was a blur as everyone said it would be and I am so glad I was able to enjoy it mostly because I had so much confidence in the venue!

ate a wonderful evening for our guests. The day of, everything was executed according to plan. We had many compliments from guests on the food, the staff and the elegance of the golf club. I could have not asked for a more perfect way to begin our marriage!

wife to make everything perfect and to coordinate with all of our other vendors. The food at the Minneapolis Golf Club was delicious, and I mean delicious! That and the service were mostly what our guests had to complement us on. The inside decor is beautiful and did not require much additional decoration for the ceremony or the reception. The turnover of the room from the ceremony setup to the reception setup was perfectly timed as well as it allowed our guests to visit and have a few drinks and appetizers in the other two rooms. The staff was very professional and diligent in their work and made everything perfect. We could have not asked for a better venue to celebrate our wedding day! Thank you all at the MGC!

to work with. Whenever we had questions she gave us suggestions that ended up being spot on. I would definitely recommend this venue for those getting married in the future!

al meeting, menu tasting, final walk through and the day of the wedding. She provided us with a list of vendors, which was especially valuable and helped us make decisions that were within our budget. The food was amazing. - we received so many compliments from our guests. Nancy and her staff took care of everything. We had no worries and knew we were in good hands. Our day was everything we hoped for and we would highly recommend the Minneapolis Golf Club!

s. She met with us multiple times and assured all of the important details were addressed. Nancy was great at listening to our ideas and gave us great advice, including vendor recommendations that fit our taste and style, to make our reception perfect...and within our budget! When the big day arrived, MGC took care of everything and it was better than we could have imagined. We had several guests go out of their way to tell us how much they loved the food, the staff, and the beautiful venue. Nancy and her experienced crew had all of the details worked out and we were able to relax and enjoy the celebration with our guests. That was the biggest relief for us, we did not have to think about any venue-related details. It was truly a perfect evening and we highly recommend Nancy Johnson Ewald and the Minneapolis Golf Club. Anne and Reed

asting made it a great way to plan from out of state and have it all fall into place. Nancy assured me, all we had to do was show up and they would take care of the rest; she was absolutely correct! I also can't say enough things about her banquet staff and the manager for the night, Molly. She answered all my questions, kept the place running smoothly with hot food, cold and full drinks, tables set, and deadlines met. My husband and I had a wonderful night and the guests had nothing but positive "oos and ahhhs". I grew up coming to MGC as a little girl, and to cherish such a special day and memories I will never forget, and a place that was top notch is amazing. I highly recommend this as your wedding venue if you want somewhere with easy highway and attraction access, beautiful grounds, and staff that are trained well at what they do. I can assure you, it will be the best day ever, as it was ours! Amanda and Tayton Eggenberger

ur budget and the food was phenominal. That is the one thing that everyone brings up to us was how great the food was! I would highly recommend this venue and their staff. Everyone was great to work with. The venue is beautiful so you dont need much decorating! I am so happy we chose the Minneapolis Golf Club.

the dinner to the desserts. We did the ceremony and the reception at the Club. The venue is stunningly beautiful and it helped carry on the Great Gatsby theme my daughter and NEW son in law wanted for their wedding. The staff worked efficiently along side our florist and wedding day cooridinator to turn the room over for the reception! Our guests were impressed with the ease of parking and the general overall experience they had at the Minneapolis Golf Club. I highly recommend prospective brides and grooms visit Nancy and get a tour and taste the food. You will not be disappointed! You will be impressed with the professional way you will be treated and the value cannot be beat! Please Nancy Johnson Ewald, Catering Director and get your tour. I promise you will be impressed.

! Nancy was absolutely AMAZING to work with! She had awesome suggestions and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. Nancy knows what looks good together and helped us make decisions on what tablecloths and napkins would look best with our centerpieces. She is able to visualize the whole look, and her insight was extremely valuable. We asked her questions about her thoughts on things like flip flops by the dance floor and kid bags, and she gave her honest opinion on both-kids bags are a nice thing to have, and flip flops often don't get used. I can't say enough good things about Nancy. She was absolutely wonderful!!!! There were a couple of things that I wish would have been a little different. For the food tasting you have to pay for the entrees that you are try and the maximum you could try was 4. We also weren't able to try any appetizers or late night food. They also don't put the centerpieces on the table for you, so our wedding party had to miss half the cocktail hour placing centerpieces on the tables. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better place to get married and have our reception. Knowing that the staff knew what they were doing and took care of the flow of everything the day of was a huge relief. I highly recommend anyone that is looking for a venue to take a tour here!

ions timely. She has much experience running wedding receptions and it was apparent! The package includes everything and there are no surprise fees like many of the other reception venues in the area. The reception ran smoothly and the staff was gracious and helpful. We were very impressed with the venue and would recommend to other wedding couples without hesitation.
