Shoreview is a great location for a wedding reception on a budget! Kirby Ann did a fantastic job of communicating with us and making sure we had everything we needed. The fountain/garden area outside was a nice place for pictures. Overall, we had a very positive experience.

For the price, this site did a great job. The staff was helpful and made sure everything was how we wanted it. The space was gorgeous and accommodating for the number of people we ...
had (~200 guests). There is ample parking for guests. The down sides, you are not able to decorate the venue until the morning of your rental date, unless they have the day before open and you want to pay a fee. There are also other events that could be going on in rooms right next to yours (which they never mentioned to us in our tour).

My mom and I toured several places. What we loved about Shore view was the options. They have 2 different sized rooms. They let you use any caterer that is licensed (with the excep...
tion of one) and they partner with GreenMill for alcohol. GreenMill was great too and very professional. You also do not need to rent a cop as they have staff on hand. Beautiful place and great staff!

I loved this place because it was nicely decorated and simple. The staff I worked with were very kind, fun and helpful. There was a little problem with my setup but after I talked ...
to someone they quickly fixed it. I really picked this place because they allow you to make your own food, but then you aren't allowed to use their kitchen for anything.also they do not allow you to put anything into the ceiling or use a ladder to decorate, so do not pick this place if you plan on a lot of decor. Luckily I am okay with simplicity and at the end my guests loved that we made it more about us than about the decor.

Shoreview CC has a beautiful ballroom that does not feel like a CC at all. It's a very clean, lovely space. The staff is also very helpful, and they have great amenities (kitchen, ...

the grounds had some really great areas for pictures. They also let us choose and bring in our own catering rather than having "preferred caterers" that you have to choose from. We got so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful and comfortable the location was and we couldn't be happier with the way everything turned out!

I chose Shoreview for my reception because I wanted a nice venue with an open caterer policy. The price wasn't too bad either. The Shoreview room is very nice, big (holds up to 300...
, a little tight but still enough space to move around), and your pictures turn out great.
I didn't like the fact that you couldn't setup the day before but this wasn't a huge deal. My only complaint was that on the day of, it was very hard to find the person in charge. You would have to go to the front desk and then have that person paged. I still don't know who was in charge. I also wish that they had staff to clean up at the end of the night. This would have made everything perfect. Nonetheless, I wouldn't have done anything different. I would recommend Shoreview to any bride on a budget.

e very reasonable. You aren't allowed to hang things from the ceilings (luckily the rooms have natural beauty!) so you save money by not having to add other lights. The sound system is not the greatest so if you play your own playlist make sure to bring your own speakers :) Overall a great place to hold a reception!

Not many places in the Twin Cities area let you bring in your own caterer, so that was a real plus when choosing our reception location. However, on the day of the wedding, there ...
was trouble with technology and we needed to go and find tech support to be able to show our slideshow to our guests. Overall, we were satisfied with our reception venue location and would recommend the location to future brides and grooms when planning their wedding.

The main ballroom at the Shoreview Community Center was the perfect size for our reception and it was very reasonably priced. You do need to bring in your own caterer and beverage ...
service. This was exactly what we wanted because we could bring in our favorite BBQ caterers (Divine Swine). They even allowed my husband to shoot off MN approved fireworks at the end of the evening (my husband had to contact the local fire department to get approval). We had a great reception at the Shoreview Community Center and would recommend the venue to others.
