I would do my wedding here again in a heartbeat! The venue was absolutely gorgeous and staff were incredibly patient and accommodating! I've been to the venue before it was redone in 2020 and when George came in to gut it all a redo it, he spared no detail! I would heavily recommend Royal Cliff to anyone looking for a worthwhile venue to get married. Not to mention, we were able to have our ceremony outside in their newly created pavilion area and we LOVED the way it turned out!

Royal Cliff remodeled their outdoor area to create a beautiful ceremony space. It was perfect for our guests to enjoy the outdoors and take photos. Jessica, Lori and George were exceptionally helpful during our wedding process and accommodated all of our requests! Jessica made sure our wedding day was a success and we couldn’t have asked for a better day of venue coordinator!

The Royal Cliff staff was amazing from day 1. They were super accommodating with tours and appointment scheduling. They made the whole wedding process a lot less stressful than I anticipated, and actually made it enjoyable. We booked out DJ through the Royal Cliff, and he did not disappoint! The staff was amazing and willing to do whatever it took to ensure we had the best day ever. Our wedding day could not have been more perfect, and it was all thanks to George and his crew! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone and everyone.

Royal Cliff (Fab! Weddings) made our wedding the best day ever. Super easy and reasonable to work with. I have Been to 3 weddings with this team before our special day and they never let you down! I would recommend this place to anyone, especially if you want a kick-ass dance floor.

We could not have chosen a better venue. George was so helpful and flexible to allow us to have the wedding we always hoped for. We too were affected by covid having to reschedule and they were very helpful in the process. The food was great, service was perfect and everything came together for one perfect night. The Royal Cliff venue after the remodel is amazing. Thanks again George.

Words cannot express how truly grateful we are for Fab Weddings! We booked our wedding for September 26, 2020 right before the COVID quarantine went into effect. George and the Fab Weddings team made sure to keep us updated throughout the whole process, which provided a lot of comfort during a very uncertain time. Thankfully, we were still able to have our day as planned (with masks and a few other safety precautions in place)!
George helped us so much along the way with the planning process, always being available to answer our questions. He keeps in mind the little, yet important things, for example: he helped us to practice our first dance, so we felt comfortable when all eyes were on us. The services that were provided through Fab Weddings made the planning process so much easier!
Catering – the food was provided through Brianno’s Deli, which was delicious! I love pasta, and the pasta bar was above and beyond what we could have asked! We were also able to have pizza served a little later in the evening, which our guests went crazy for! My only regret is that I did not eat more!
DJ – through Fab Weddings we were provided a DJ, one less thing we had to worry about finding. DJ Johnny made the music process so much fun! He gave us a playlist worksheet so we could list the songs that we wanted played for various parts of the evening – from cocktail hour, dinner, and the dance! Wedding dances are my absolute favorite, and DJ Johnny did not disappoint. He did a great job reading the crowd, playing all our favorite songs, and adding additional songs to the list that the crowd loved! The lighting system and fog machines added a whole other layer to the night that our guests really enjoyed!
Day of Coordinator – Jana went above and beyond to make sure that our reception looked exactly how we wanted it. The fact that we did not have to worry about setting up or tearing down the reception hall was a huge stress relief! It allowed us to focus our attention on each other and our loved ones instead of having to worry about decorating. Jana made sure to listen to all our requests and set everything up exactly how we asked. She was also super flexible and rolled with the flow when we had to make a few last-minute changes to our seating chart. Jana helped to keep our evening running smoothly, adjusting our schedule as needed to make sure that we were able to enjoy the whole night.
You would think that with all these great amenities and services that a reception through Fab Weddings would be crazy expensive, but it was super affordable, which was another huge plus!
We cannot thank the Fab Weddings team enough for everything that they did for us on our big day. They all strived to make our day perfect, and they far exceeded all our expectations. We highly recommend Fab Weddings venues and their services to anyone who is starting out on their wedding planning journey!

Our wedding night was literally perfect. George and his team are amazing, and we could not recommend them more. George was amazing from the start. He knows exactly what he is doing, and he was there every step of the way. He was willing to do whatever it took for us to have an amazing night. He truly cares about his couples and wants them to have a stress free, fantastic night. When Covid hit, George was very good at letting us know what was going on, and he was very flexible about moving our date with no charge. Despite the new rules, it was still the magical night I always imagined.
Jana was our coordinator, and she was absolutely amazing as well. She made sure we didn’t have to worry about anything the entire night. If she saw us or our parents without a drink, she made sure to ask if we needed anything. She even jokingly reprimanded me when I tried helping clean up at the end of the night.
We had SO many compliments on the food and the GEORGOUS venue. George took advantage of the pandemic lockdown and people postponing their weddings in order to make a beautiful venue 10X more beautiful. The up lights, dance lights and the dry ice fog were amazing. The price George charges is definitely a steal for how beautiful the venue is and the quality of service you get.

Our wedding at Royal Cliff far exceeded our expectations!!!
When we first decided on Royal Cliff, we picked it solely because it could host our large wedding guest list without breaking the bank. However, the work that has been done to the venue in the past few months made it both functional and absolutely beautiful! The amount of compliments that we got on the beauty of the venue itself was amazing. Royal Cliff was the perfect space for a stunning wedding. We had many wedding guests that had been to Royal Cliff prior to all of the renovations, we heard multiple times throughout the night "I cannot believe this is the same place, it is so beautiful".
Furthermore, we can't say enough good things about the staff at Fab Weddings and Royal Cliff. People often ask us how we planned such a wonderful wedding in only seven months and our answer is always the same, it was because of George and the rest of the Fab Weddings/Royal Cliff staff. From our first planning meeting, to the final song at our reception, everyone made the entire planning process and the entire night so easy and enjoyable for us. The night of the wedding was TRULY stress free because of George, Jana, our incredible DJ and photographer (both provided by Fab Weddings), and the rest of the amazing staff! Furthermore, we heard from many guests that the food was the best wedding food they had ever had!
We could go on and on about how much we love Royal Cliff! We could not recommend it more to any couple that wants a beautiful, stress-free wedding and planning process.

I was really surprised by our experience because there are some good reviews on here. I called Royal Cliff to get in contact with Brian, who I was told handles weddings and events at Royal Cliff. I called when they said he would be in, but he wasn't. It took about 3 weeks just to get in contact with Brian. I left my name and number and he did reach out once but I missed the call. It was another week and half before I was able to get back in contact with him. When I finally spoke to Brian, I told him I was interested in setting up a time to tour the venue because I am a bride and told him my wedding date. He said he had a wedding on Saturday and could show me the venue then. I apologized and told him that I had to work, but asked if another day or time would be available. He stated that he was 60 years old and tired of accommodating brides whenever they would like to see the venue. I asked if he could just give me a time that would work for him and we could try to accommodate it. He said we could meet on Tuesday at 6:00 pm. I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt. I went to Royal Cliff tonight, Tuesday. I was 10 minutes early even and the doors were locked. I went into Brionnos deli and they said Brian had left for the day. I would not recommend anyone use Royal Cliff, because Brian was hard to get in touch with, was very rude, and forgot about our appointment. Thank goodness I found all of this out at the beginning.

Dear Taylor,
Please accept my apologies for how you were treated! No one should ever have...
such an experience.
The company changed ownership and only people who love wedding work here now.
Please forgive our trespasses, as we promise no one else will ever have such an experience here.

We would absolutely recommend Royal Cliff to anyone for any event!
Though our evening flew by, everything went smoothly... So smoothly, everything appeared and happened on time! We had no worries all night.
Before our wedding, Royal Cliff was accommodating, quick to answer all our questions and flexible with allowing us to stop in. Their expertise was appreciated and so helpful. They worked to accommodate any special request we had.
The food was Amazing! We had their signature Chicken in White Wine Sauce, Mosticolli with Meatballs, baby reds, green beans! It was all excellently prepared! All our guest raved about the food! One piece of advice for the bride, groom and wedding party - take a decent portion your first time through the line. I thought I would have a chance to get seconds but time flies.
We had late night pizzas which was delicious.
A blast was had by all our guest!
We would recommend Royal Cliff - hands down!
Thank you for making our day perfect!

Working with Tracy & Brian was a great experience! They were so helpful and willing to answer any questions throughout the entire process. We had a 300 person reception with a buffet service dinner. We have heard nothing but GREAT responses about the food. Brianno's is the attached small Italian deli that makes all the food and the food is OUTSTANDING!! The room is simple and open with no pillars or things to obstruct any views. The dance floor was spacious and they work very hard to make sure no seating tables are placed on it that need to be removed. There was beyond ample space between all the tables. There was a large coat room, and lots of parking available. They are very willing to work with you and with what you need!! HIGHLY recommend using them!!

Thanks Amy (and Tom!). The kind words were so nice. We had such a great experience working...

There is nothing else to say. These people treat you as if you are the only couple to have a wedding there. Prices are outstanding. They have some of the best food for weddings. You are the only event there that night. They are willing to work with you on anything and everything.
Tracy, the wedding coordinatior there understands it's YOUR day and whatever she can do to simply they will try and do.
I was afraid of hearing horror stories here and there about weddings, but I never experienced one.

The Royal Cliff in Eagan was a perfect spot for our wedding reception. We had about 300 guests and everyone was seated comfortably. For all of the pre wedding arrangements we worked with Tracy and she was great! She answered all of our questions and made the process so easy. We had an initial meeting and got to know the basics about the venue and when we made our final decision to go with the Royal Cliff we only had to give the room deposit. I loved how we could customize everything eith the meal and bar. Their prices are so affordable and the food was amazing! We had the chicken with white sauce, au gratin potatoes and green beans. The service for the dinner was so good. I mean I tried to watch the staff serving our guests and they were quick and polite. Overall the night was amazing!

We had a wonderful time at the Royal Cliff. The staff there put my mind at ease, took care of every little detail! The food was amazing, the room was beautiful, and completely affordable. The only bummer was I must have forgotten they don't take credit cards - which was brought up at the end of the night when we went to pay the final bill. This put us in a small sticky situation. But other than that - no complaints!

Everything at Royal Cliff was wonderful! Brian and Tracy have been extremely helpful and accommodating from the beginning. They were very easy going with us! For example, we were at a loss for how many kegs to order, so we told them we wanted three and then if we ran out of those three they were to come to us and ask us if we wanted to tap another one! It worked out perfectly! The food was delicious and their prices are very reasonable! Also they can seat 500 people!

We loved Royal Cliff. The food was great especailly their Pizza they brought out at 10pm!! Staff was very helpful and Diane and Brian (managers) were always available to answer any questions we had and take the time for us to stop by and visit. Everything comes in the package with no hidden fees! Beer and wine are very reasonable. There are no kids meals but we had families if they had 2 childen split the meals becuase no 5 year olds can eat a whole steak! Great place would highly recommend!

I loved that it was a complete package, place settings, linens, food, centerpieces. One stop shopping made things less hectic.;If there will be a lot of children attending; the kids eat for the same price as the adults. It is a per plate charge.
