Muse Event Center

anks to the Muse. From food, to space, to the service and staff - EVERYTHING about this place is the best. Starting with Becky, our main event planning contact with the venue during the whole planning process. She was kind, positive, prompt in her responses, thorough and on every detail. I was a little nervous when I found out she wouldn't be our day-of go-to (they assign someone else to manage the actual wedding day), but wow, then we got Kyle. Kyle was just as good! I didn't know how someone could seamlessly slide right into position, but the way they managed that hand-off without us being involved - still amazes me. They are professional to the n'th degree! We loved the Muse. We looked at so many venues - in and around the Twin Cities, and there are dozens of great spaces, but I genuinely do not believe a better space with better service / food / quality and value - could be found. We love the Muse and feel so grateful it was available on our day.

enter as well. We recommend!

ve item we could say about any of it. We loved the location (Minneapolis – great for nearby photo ops), and the flow of the venue including their lovely balcony that overlooks the main reception area. We did both the wedding and reception at Muse, so it is a perfect one stop shop. We also did get a little bit of competitive off-season pricing, which was very helpful and rare to find for twin cities venues. There was plenty of room for all our guests (we had about 220 and there was still plenty of space for more!), two full service bars, a bridal suite, a room for the groomsmen, a photo booth, "kids section", cornhole set and plenty of other fun tables. Becky helped us set up our day perfectly within our allotted time and was very helpful in supporting our timeline, figuring out how we could accomplish everything we wanted to do and making our dreams become a reality. They were flexible on many items, always tried to accommodate our needs, and were receptive to our ideas….if they could make it work, they would. They had a great menu (enjoy the free tasting!) for food and alcohol and they even looked into options from some of my favorite local breweries! They can do hosted packages, beer and wine, full bar, up to a set dollar amount --- whatever you need! We received (and still are 2 months later) about the food we had served, the service and the venue! They made everything as easy as possible, which is great when planning for such an important detailed day. Going with the Muse was probably the single best decision we made when it came to our wedding planning!

lighting used throughout the day really transformed the space. The North Loop location is awesome as well!

tive. Everything ran smoothly the day of the wedding, or if it didn't, the staff handled it without the wedding party or guests knowing! All of our friends and family agreed that it was a gorgeous venue, and perfect wedding space. Great overall experience!

wedding from another state. The venue is absolutely stunning and took little to make our day perfect. I couldn't imagine having our wedding at another venue.

s checking to make sure things were good. Great place overall!

eat experience with every staff member at Muse. Everyone was extremely helpful and determined to help the day run smoothly. Anyone who is looking for a central Minneapolis location with a modern all inclusive feel-- you have found the perfect venue!

a few unique requests and she was always on top of it with a huge smile! Andrew, our banquet captain, was a beast the day of, running around and directing everything without a single hitch! The food from Crave was phenomenal, we got a million positive reviews from people about how it was the best wedding food people had had! Even as the bride, I found it difficult to pick which entree I wanted because they were all SO GOOD. The space is beautiful and ran like a well oiled machine!! This was our dream wedding and we cannot find one single thing that we would fix or change. Thank you Muse for making it amazing!

e met Becky with Crave (Crave is the Muse's exclusive caterer), I just knew we'd book with her. Knowing we'd have a year long engagement and multiple meetings with our venue coordinator/sales manager, Becky was the perfect person to fill that. I'm beginning my review to mention my great experience with Becky because I truly believe that how someone makes you feel is what makes for the best experience. I had a LOT of meetings with Becky and we did a LOT of extra stuff for our wedding and Becky was so flexible and able to work with us, give ideas and options and made my dream wedding an absolute fairy tale. I still don't know how all the moving parts came together, but with Becky behind the scenes, we were so confident in her ability, that we never questioned anything and never felt like we had to double confirm / remind her of anything. She made me feel like I was her only client (and I know she had multiple weddings every weekend). Based on my experience alone with Becky at the Muse, I'd recommend booking the Muse (or at least reserving your date) prior to even touring. Onto the venue: Bridal / Groom suites: Included and LARGE. The bridal party ended up getting ready up in the club room because of the lighting, but the bridal suite was awesome, makeup lighting, shower, cubbies for all bridesmaids complete with LOCKS! Majority of the venues we toured either didn't have them or they were TINY. BAR: Two bar areas (one upstairs overlooking the first floor - great for anyone that wants a quiet spot during dancing - and one large beautiful built in bar visible from dance floor). This is important because you want your bar close to your dance floor and within sight. I've been to multiple weddings where the bar area is segregated from the dining area/dance floor - when you choose a venue with a separate bar area, your guests separate and your dance floor is empty; especially if they can't hear the band/dj from that area). KITCHEN: Something you won't think of, but almost all venues in Minneapolis don't have a kitchen, so your food is prepped at the caterer's kitchen and kept in coolers or warmers. Food is prepared on-site at Muse. This is HUGE and your guests will be raving about the food. Overall: We are so happy we booked the Muse. It was beautiful, the acoustics are PHENOMENAL for a live band and the staff at CRAVE / The Muse are wonderful. I couldn't have imagined a more beautiful wedding and we are beyond thrilled with how everything turned out. Becky was so accommodating and wonderful. Our wedding was so beautiful and we can confidently highly recommend the Muse to anyone looking for wedding venues!

ly worth it! We worked with Becky for months prior to our wedding, planning every detail and she was absolutely amazing! She always responded to my emails quickly and answered all of my questions. She gave us a tour of Muse, took time to discuss the menu with us when we went to the happy hour Muse has each month (hosted by their caterer - CRAVE), and then met with us about a week before the wedding just to go over all the final details. Becky was such a pleasure to work with! Overall, we are very pleased with our experience at Muse!

h Becky and Sam, who were AMAZING people and so wonderful and helpful throughout the process. We paid extra for the cafe lights, but they went out halfway through the wedding so we received a refund. Overall we had a great experience with the venue and are extremely happy with our choice!

cooperative with a "can do" attitude! Our guests commented favorably on the beauty of the facility, the fantastically delicious food and accommodating staff throughout the night and continue to rave about it. I would highly recommend you consider The Muse Event Center for your wedding or any other event!

nded up going through 3 separate people when it was all said and done. The communication during this time period was pretty poor, but I supposed understandable when people are either leaving or being fired. After we finally had someone who was not leaving or being fired everything went pretty smooth. The venue looked amazing when we arrived on our big day and the reception was better than I even expected. It's an amazing venue that a lot of people still don't know about and I would certainly recommend it to anyone looking.

was, there were many decisions that I went back and forth on. Samantha was all too patient with my indecisiveness and constant flood of emails and phone calls. Towards the end I needed someone to really help point me in the right direct and she was there to do just that. The evening of our event, the staff was on top of every detail. I felt like I didn't have a worry in the world than to focus on my new husband and all our guests. I cannot thank Muse and their entire staff for making a special day so memorable.

oth the 1st & 2nd floors. I loved that my guests had somewhere to go during cocktail hr while they were flipping the ceremony space into the reception space. You also get a lot of nice additions with this venue, they have curtains that seperate the spaces, they have a really nice white ceremony curtain, chandeliers that make the space look romantic, and one of my favorites was the lighting. They can pretty much do whatever colors you want which makes it really fun. The food was a hit. I highly recommend the garlic mashed potatoes which everyone raved about, as well as their selection of apps. Really good food. Also, shout out to Andrew who was on point the day of my wedding. He was fantastic! The only downfall is the parking situation if you don't do the valet option. Thank goodness it was a beautiful Oct day for us so we didn't hear much about the parking.

cious and all of our guests were raving and saying it was the best food at a wedding they have ever had. Love Love Love all the cool colored and moving lights - gave us a completely different look after dinner. I would highly recommend Muse.

d and friendly! They helped with small requests I needed as a bride. The food was also delicious! Thank you for everything Muse and Crave Catering. I recommend Muse as perfect, magical place for a wedding!

making changes. (MANY, MANY CHANGES) to our invoices so we could make our minds up on what we wanted for the reception. My husband and I are so grateful to have worked with Crave for our wedding and our guests loved the food!

to move freely and enjoy the night. Sam was in constant communication and coming to us with tons of ideas to make the day even more special. I could not recommend this venue enough, they will not disappoint.

mazing job setting up and doing the room flip - fast and done well. Samantha was very helpful and accommodating. She gets things done and will address any/all concerns. We couldn't be happier with our wedding here!

pace, with multiple floors, high ceilings, windows and great lighting. It was beautiful! One thing that I didn't notice until it was later, was that we were under the impression there would be multiple house beers on draft and it wasn't later I realized it was one house 16 oz canned beer. But our party had such a great time, it didn't matter! Would definitely recommend the Muse Event Center for any wedding event!

nd made me as the bride worry-free!!!! The bridal suite was stunning! It was the perfect place for us to get ready while my goom and his side were on the club room level. Perfect day, sad it's done!

en! We were able to use the entire space, which let our guests feel like they could just hang out and enjoy the ceremony, social hour, and reception. Our guests raved about how cool the venue was - all within our budget. The team and service worked hard to give us, our family and guests a care free event. I didn't have to worry about one detail - we knew Allegra and the team were all over it. I would absolutely recommend the Muse Event Center as a venue for your wedding or other celebrations - you won't regret it!

vested in our big day as well, taking a ton of stress of me and my wife. The venue's flexibility in making what was stuck in our heads as an idea, actually come to life, was remarkable. We would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a venue + a team of people that just simply want to make you happy.

was going to be perfect. Would recommend for anyone looking for a beautiful venue in the North Loop area of Minneapolis.

wedding. She made the rest of the planning a breeze and made us feel comfortable. The other staff at Muse Event Center set everything up perfectly for our reception and ceremony. They had great service, were warm, welcoming, and kind. The sound system made it feel as if we were at a concert with the live band we had. Everything was absolutely perfect and we would recommend Muse to anyone that asked. Sara and Jonathan Confeld
