North Garden Theater

(down to the jalapeno margaritas that Tina and Ryan prepared!). 2. So reasonably priced! Security was included with our rental, they helped with parking, set a beautiful ambiance of the space, included tables and chairs (and helped with setup and tear down), did a custom marquee message, and so much more. We had the venue from early afternoon all the way to midnight. We were able to reserve the space the night before to host our rehearsal dinner and complete the setup (pro tip: get late night pizza from Joe and Stan's - you will not regret!). 3. Customizations all around! I've eluded to this already a little, but it was so great it deserves a second mention - every time I came to The NGT with a hope to customize something they said "no problem!" and made it happen without adding a bill unto my tab, which is so incredibly rare in wedding planning. 4. Beautiful space with room for everyone and everything. We had our ceremony and reception at The NGT - it was perfect because there was a space for the bridal party and groomsmen to get ready separately, a seamless transition from ceremony to dinner, and the venue itself allows for beautiful lighting and sound. Thank you again Ryan and Tina for everything - you two are A W E S O M E!

rous and detail oriented. The space is upscale, flexible, tech forward, and inviting. And the intangibles like parking overflow, local catering referrals, and family inclusion are just icing on the cake. We’d recommend the Theater to anyone planning a Twin Cities event to remember.

ustry people who wanted to get married, this was perfectly within budget. My husband and I are queer, so it meant the world to me that they were so understanding and accepting immediately. The venue was personalizable every step of the way, which let us go wild with our forgotten circus themed wedding. They have a list of preferred caterers, but allow any caterer you'd like with a license, and the bar was completely customizable. We love a family business, and that's exactly what this theater is. I cannot recommend them enough for any event. (Not to mention we've loved every theater production we've seen here!)

!

ad to plan another wedding, I’d do it here again lol. I will be recommending them over and over again!

nse of the word, and just plain cool. Also? As far as venues go, this place is definitely more affordable than you might think. You won't be sad you booked this place.

l Bride’s room to get ready and take photos in. The venue has a great sound system, lights, disco ball, and everything you could need for the reception so we didn’t even hire a DJ we just made a playlist - very budget friendly. The whole day was perfect and all the guests commented on what a great venue it was. Thanks again to Ryan and Tina!

gracious and still allowed us to use the space for our rehearsal dinner, which was absolutely perfect. The space is stunning and they were so thoughtful and attentive to all of our needs! We absolutely loved that they put our name on the marquee sign as well, such a fun touch! If you are looking for a space to host your next event, we cannot say enough good things about the North Garden Theater…you will be in excellent hands with Ryan and Tina!

s MN regulations changed over and over. Ryan & Tina were so easy to work with and planning the details was a breeze. They made sure all our tastes were accommodated. On the day of the wedding, Ryan, Tina and their son were on top of everything. They helped so much with decorations, sound, lighting and last minute tasks. The venue itself is unique and hip. So many of our guests commented on how much they loved the vibe of the theater. All the costs were up front and straight forward. So many of the other venues I looked at had extra hidden fees and requirements. NGT has dance lights and sound system built in, bar built in, great parking option, beautiful uplighting, tables, table cloths, and chairs all set up perfectly before we got there, etc. So many details that helped make the day go smoother. We really can’t recommend them enough.

oughout all of this, Ryan was very communicative and flexible with our up-in-the-air plans. One of Ryan's top priorities was making sure that I was as stress-free as possible. Ryan and Tina are truly amazing at what they do and offer some of the best customer service I've ever experienced. I feel so lucky to be able to look back on my wedding day and have nothing but awesome memories! For folks who are still not sure if NGT is the right venue for you, let me ask you this: If North Garden Theater was able to give us a flawless wedding during covid, then can you imagine how amazing they are with everything else?

nuinely care about the couples they work with, as is shown in their amazing communication and attention to detail—I got to experience this first hand on my wedding day when our officiant was late and nobody could get a hold of them. Ryan and Tina immediately jumped in and offered suggestions for how to delay the ceremony without making it obvious something was wrong, and had a family member on standby to drive in and perform the ceremony if our officiant didn’t show. They truly went above and beyond. I recommend the North Garden Theater without hesitation, and hope to host another event there in the future!

de down due to Covid-19. We chose to dial back our guest list to just immediate family, and hosted a much smaller version of our wedding and reception at the North Garden Theater in August of 2020. Not only were Ryan and Tina incredibly flexible in allowing us to move our date – they were eager to provide creative solutions on how to make a smaller event work. Throughout the entire process they were extremely easy to work with and were timely in all their communications. They were very accommodating during our set-up and tear-down; and even provided a few extra special touches to really make this an unbelieve experience for us. We cannot recommend the North Garden Theater enough – especially for anyone looking for a beautiful, safe venue for their weddings/receptions during this pandemic. The North Garden Theater encapsulates St. Paul; the venue space is beautifully renovated to represent historic St. Paul. It’s simply gorgeous. Now because our overall experience was so fantastic working with Ryan and Tina and with how beautiful the venue is; we plan to have them host our larger gathering in May of 2021. We are very much so looking forward to working with the NGT again next spring! We highly recommend them!

are so glad we did! What the North's have done with the space is magnificent. Ryan and Tina are so accommodating with any customization we needed and they run the bar, and much of the hospitality themselves, which comes complimentary with the rental. All of our guests were so surprised at how unique and fun this space and reception was for our purposes. If you're looking for both a unique and reasonable venue, this is your place!

vent YOURS. The best thing with this venue is the team. Ryan and Tina were always quick to respond to emails. They were so kind and attentive, and perfect at calming a stressed out first time bride. They answered every question with ease, and whenever a problem came up - they quickly helped find a solution. I would do my wedding all over again many more times because of them. Thank you Ryan and Tina, for everything. For making my day the best day ever.

sure things would go smoothly for our big day. We loved making the NGT our own; there are lovely spots for photos, the bar is conveniently all set to go, and the space allows guests to feel comfortable and experience the party you’ll be creating! We loved the option of choosing our own caterer and DJ, and customizing the marquee and background during the ceremony. Ryan’s expertise with lighting made everything even more beautiful. He has a great crew and I would recommend the NGT to anyone hosting a wedding, or any other event where they need a beautiful space to gather.

teously. They pay great attention to detail, making things run smoothly and keeping everyone comfortable and happy. My husband and I couldn't be more pleased that our son and daughter-in-law chose NGT for their wedding reception!! It is a very special, attractive, private space, has wonderful ambience, beautiful lighting and great acoustics. We especially loved the large screen for the slideshow and the unique, roomy bar area. The layout felt very comfortable and spacious with plenty of room for dancing into the night!! Ryan, Tina and their staff made everyone feel welcome and comfortable. We send our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to you for making the newlyweds' reception so special, memorable and fun!!!!

e. On the day of our wedding, Ryan was readily available and flexible with last minute, small variances that came up. We got a lot of compliments from our guests on how great the venue was and we cannot recommend The NGT enough!!

cially pleased with the option to personalize the marquee, and the colored uplights on the indoor brick (we chose not to bring any additional decorations, and we didn't need them). They have a sound system all set up, so we just plugged in a phone and played a spotify playlist - wonderfully easy. The bar was well-stocked with a good variety of beer, wine, liquors, sodas, and juices. Arranging event details was done easily via email, and Ryan was quick to answer any questions we had. I highly recommend North Garden Theater, and I look forward to attending more events there!

have fun at my wedding because they were on top of everything. The venue itself ended up looking so much better than I could have imagined--especially with Ryan's help getting the ceiling decorations up and Tina matching the lighting with our wedding colors. The North Garden Theater exceeded our expectations left and right. I can't recommend it enough.

ul venue, close to many caterers and venders (they let you use any licensed caterer, another plus), and just a beautiful space all around. Highly recommend!!

ly restored historic building. In addition to impeccable customer service, the theater's ambiance includes exposed brick, a lush velvet curtained backdrop, and tailored color-specific accent lighting which all add up to an event photography dream! There is simply nothing this high in quality for such an affordable price in the 'Cities.

had. They helped us to make the space feel like a warm and welcoming festive celebration. They worked hard to ensure everyone had a great time. Communication was clear, emails were returned quickly which was helpful to us! The space is flexible and gorgeous. I highly recommend the up-lighting option!!

of the theater and that we could use our own food vendor (we went with awesome food trucks). Ryan and Tina helped us order our specialty wine and even our vendors said that this venue was one of the coolest they had ever seen. My only disappointment was that we had to eventually leave, I could have stayed there all night.

ting ). It was a local venue for me so it worked out perfect! Right on the strip of west 7th st so great spot for pictures! Ryan was always prompt with answering my emails. My day turned out perfect! <3
