The APT is the BEST small venue for ANY occasion one can dream up!!!
I found The APT in my search for a wedding / reception venue to host our intimate party of immediate family-only, consisting of a mere 10-15 guests. I was panicking, nothing I was finding online was meant for so few people, nor did those results have the appropriate pricing for such a small party… then I came across The APT!
The site was clear in pricing, what The APT offered, and how you could customize your event. I initially emailed Chris Villegas, the owner ( a gem to work with!), prior to us meeting to discuss what I had in mind, however our meeting was the best! Seeing The APT in person, I could see my wedding laid out before me, as Chris showed us all the different LED colored lighting options to add ambiance (our wedding was during the early afternoon, and it still made a huge difference!), his various decor options he could add for us, so many special touches he could provide as part of choosing The APT for our special day, and we wouldn’t have to do any of it ourselves, as one may expect from a smaller venue, but don’t let the size of The APT fool you, it’s BEAUTIFUL and SLEEK on its own, and whatever vibe you envision, Chris will make it come to life!!!
The day of our wedding, my now husband and I walked in, and were speechless… it looked so beautiful! We had purchased minimal decor as we wanted to spend a bit more on food (which we could have catered ourselves by a friend, a HUGE plus for us!), and attire, however, what Chris had provided for decor, along with his “green wall”, and our combined vision that we discussed during our meeting… it was GORGEOUS!!!
I have to laugh and out myself for a moment; I’ve been married twice before this, and both times my in-laws demanded I have a larger event than what I wanted. By FAR, this, my third wedding, the smallest, was the most lovely!
I will be posting my review everywhere I can, as Chris / The APT deserves it, and people need to know of this great space!!!
Definitely a 5/5 ⭐️, A++, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
As a wedding planner, I absolutely love working at The APT. Not only is it just a gorgeous, versatile, and fun backdrop for an event, but the owner Chris is just so friendly, helpful, and attentive to your needs (hands down, he makes my job a million times easier)!
Whether you're using the space to get ready to head to a larger event, hosting a small wedding, or just spending an afternoon hanging out, The APT is such a perfect place for you!
The APT is truly a unique and beautiful venue nestled in Minneapolis! Chris has created a space that can so easily become the venue of your dreams for your event or wedding! From the original brickwork to the fabulous windows, it’s so dang beautiful! Having worked with him in the past - I can tell you with total sincerity that he cares so much about his client’s experience (and it shows!)! Do not hesitate to book this gorgeous space for your next event! You’ll be so glad you did!
We used the APT to host our bridal shower and it was perfect! Chris is so responsive and goes above and beyond to ensure that everything is in order. The space makes it easy to decorate and the LED lights are a great touch. We also paid to have the valet service which was a huge plus for all of the guests. I definitely recommend using the APT for any of your events!
The APT is a hidden Minneapolis gem! Chris and his team instantly feel like family, making sure every detail is taken care of from mimosas to timelines, the entire event takes place flawlessly. The original brickwork and huge windows really opens up the space bringing in a summer rooftop vibe. Plus, once night hits the LED lighting throughout the room totally brings the party! I highly recommend booking the APT for your next wedding, bridal shower, or party it's totally worth it!
