Minnesota Boat Club
Holds ceremonies and receptions
This is a great location for a medium size wedding. We had 75 people and it was plenty of space. We were able to do our own decorations and hang garland ourselves with no issues. The venue was awesome to work with and has everything you need. Everyone commented on how unique and perfect the location was for a wedding. It is within walking distance of downtown.
We were recently married at the Minnesota Boat Club in May 2019. With a guest count of 90, this space was perfect. Our photos along the river with the St. Paul skyline turned out beautiful. Guests enjoyed spending time out on the veranda overlooking the river during the reception and we were able to take beautiful photos on the bridge as well. The staff were responsive and professional. We highly recomend!

Some venues feel made for weddings. The Minnesota Boat Club feels made for yours.
Perched on the shores of the Mississippi River in Saint Paul, this is Minnesota's oldest rowing club — a place that has watched the river flow and the seasons change for well over a century. The stone building with its red-tiled roof, its arched verandas, and its warm lit ballroom carries a quiet kind of beauty that never goes out of style. Step outside and the Saint Paul skyline rises across the water. It's the kind of view that makes people stop mid-conversation just to take it in.
For couples who want their wedding to feel genuinely intimate — not a crowd, but a gathering of the people who matter most — the Minnesota Boat Club is one of the most perfect places in the Twin Cities. With up to 110 seated guests, this is a venue that lets every person in the room actually feel present for your day. Conversations happen. Moments linger. The celebration feels real rather than managed.
Two outdoor verandas open out to sweeping river views, offering a natural place for guests to breathe, toast, and wander. The outdoor ceremony lawn, set right along the riverbank, gives couples the option to say their vows with the Mississippi as their witness and the city as their backdrop — a setting that no one who witnesses it will ever forget.
Mintahoe Catering & Events — a family-owned, award-winning team — handles every food and beverage detail with the same care and personalization that defines the venue itself. Your wedding at the Minnesota Boat Club is more than a celebration. It's the kind of day that gets passed down as a story.
