The Banquets of Minnesota

Leslie at Banquets of Minnesota was a great coordinator, she helped us plan our dream wedding and stay within a budget that was comfortable for us! If I ever needed to ask a question or make sure things were going as planned, she there every step of the way! The venue was beautifully decorated and our guests loved the food, not to mention how much fun we had! I am thrilled that I chose Leslie and Banquets of Minnesota, don't pass them up!! Thank you for everything, Mr and Mrs Ackerman ❤️

Banquets of Minnesota helped us achieve our dream wedding with ease! They were amazing throughout the entire process, from booking, the tasting and the big day itself! Everything was beautiful, the food was delicious and you could tell that the whole team really cared about making the day special for us! We are so glad we chose Banquets of Minnesota for our venue!

This is a great place to have a wedding. It’s spacious and they are very accommodating to everything you need for wedding. Thank you for hosting mine and my husbands wedding.

I was looking at The Banquets of Minnesota for YEARS before we finally booked. The venue is beautiful, the staff was amazingly helpful and kind, and Leslie was a delight to work with. So understanding, patient, and accommodating. All friends and family were in awe of how it was decorated and we heard nothing but amazing things from everyone who attended. Pricing was perfect for everything that was included and we could not be happier with how our day went! The location was perfect as well since it’s right by a highway and retail places if you need anything last minute. Highly recommend The Banquets of Minnesota!

Working with Leslie, was a BLESSING! She explained everything so nicely! Our wedding was so perfect and went super smoothly! The food was absolutely delicious! It was everything I dreamed about! Highly recommend working with Leslie!! ☺️

Very timely with communication. The venue and staff were professional and helpful.

My husband and I are absolutely thrilled with how beautiful and perfect our wedding was! Banquets of Minnesota did an excellent job. The food was delicious and all the staff did such a great job with everything! And Leslie is a Rockstar!

We absolutely loved the venue it was beautiful !! All of the staff were so helpful and kept checking in with us and making sure everything was perfect and made sure we were happy !! Definitely recommend them if your needing a wedding venue ! Leslie was so nice and got right back to me any time I had questions or just to reasure me on things!! And they are cheaper than the other places I seen! If I could do it all over again i wouldn't change a thing !!

My parents worked with Leslie for the most part but from what they have told me and my experience with her and BoMN the day before the event and the event itself, everything was WONDERFUL! They were able to accommodate any and every request we had and really made the event special for me and my family! Everyone was super professional, kept great communication, and were adaptable to all the craziness of our event. Highly recommend BoMN and their staff!

My husband and I cannot recommend The Banquets of Minnesota enough! Leslie was SO fantastic! Super responsive with emails and made the wedding planning process a breeze! The taco bar was delicious and we got compliments on the food all night(and the following days)! All of the staff were so nice and helpful during the night. Asking us how everything was going and if there was anything they could do to elevate our wedding night. Prices are incredibly reasonable as well! Thank you so much Banquets of Minnesota staff!

Professional service and convenient location. You will not be disappointed hosting your next event here!!

We cannot calculate the stress removed from our plates by moving our event to Banquets of Minnesota. When creating the event day, they ask all the questions we sometimes forget, and if plans change mid-event, they have a plan to keep things running smoothly and discreetly if needed. Someone is always there to meet other vendors that we may be coordinating as well. The facilities are always clean and set up as requested. If we need or forget additional items they are always there to help or make suggestions and know how to professionally assist without taking over. They oversee everything, and we can greet and socialize with our guests knowing that Leslie and her staff control the facility and food, speaking of food the food choices are abundant and all delicious and consistent from year to year. The location of the facility is easily accessible from main highways and there is a large free parking lot that is suitable for evening events. I will also note that this facility is one level, there are no stairs for those guests that need assistance. We will continue to use this facility for our annual client event and would recommend them to any business, family or couples looking for a classy all in one event center.

I have been using Banquets of MN for the last five years for high school sports banquets. I have been nothing but extremely satisfied each time. Leslie is great to work with. When we arrive all of the equipment for my slideshow is working and ready to go. She has provided me with extra tables, dessert serving trays, and racks to hang sports banners on. It is decorated and clean. The food is amazing. Her staff are friendly. Leslie has great communication skills, reaching out when counts are needed and to ensure the invoice has all of my requests included. I highly recommend Banquets of MN.

From the initial conversation with Leslie to the final moments of our event every thing was excellent. Leslie made the whole process from beginning to end run so smoothly.

We hosted an event here and the setting was spectacular! Banquets of Minnesota had everything set up to our ideal specifications and we were able to have our event without any worries. The food was delicious and enough for all! I would highly recommend this place for your venue!!

Beautiful venue and everyone was so easy to work with and very friendly. We had so many compliments on the food! Highly recommend this venue!

He was very polite and respectful! He answered all of our questions and does amazing work!!

Leslie was fantastic in helping organize everything from start to end, truly a godsent and made our event so successful. Look no further if you're looking for an affordable venue space with the best staff :)

Great place for a wedding and reception. They provide all the food and set up the tables and decorations. The only thing you have to worry about is your wedding! They even give you a nice room to set up in and drinks while waiting. Great place. Absolutely recommend!

Wonderful venue! Excellent value compared to the other places we checked out. Leslie in particular was invaluable - she helped us coordinate things from beginning to end.

We cannot say enough about how stunning the venue is. Very spacious and clean. Leslie and the rest of the banquet team were extremely helpful, well organized, and professional. They went up and beyond to make sure that our day was very seamless and stress free. The servers were polite. The food was absolutely delicious. Everyone loved it. Our favorite dish was the Alfredo pasta!. The DJ was also incredible. They had great taste for music that kept everyone on the dance floor and having fun. Thank you for the wonderful service.!

I attended a wedding for a friend, and it was one of the best venues I’ve ever been to. The staff were so kind and helpful with my grandma and throughout the dinner, food was phenomenal, and everything went so smooth. We are considering this venue for our own wedding!!

We had our previous venue cancel on us 1 month before our event. Banquets had the date open thankfully for us. Leslie had made our whole experience so easy and she communicated so well throughout the whole process. The night of our event was seamless and our guests loved everything. The food was amazing. The venue is beautiful and in a great location. If I were to do it all again I would 💯 choose Banquets.

Everything went perfectly! Food was amazingly delicious, as well as friendly staff. Leslie took care of everything and made sure I was well taken care of. Highly recommend this venue for your special day!

If there were more stars available I would give it a higher rating! The people at this venue are amazing from the top (Leslie) to the service staff. All caring and fun people. The food was top notch and we had many many people comment on the quality. To top it off the price was really reasonable as well! I felt taken care of from the time we got there until the time we left after the ceremony and reception (all done at the venue in the same room). So nice to not have to drive somewhere else. I would choose this venue again for any other special event and some of my friends will be looking at this for anniversaries and other parties as well. What a wonderful venue and they take the headache out of the whole experience. Thank you Leslie and your wonderful staff!!!!!!!!!!

It was a very affordable choice for us. The banquet rooms are beautifully decorated already just added our own personal touches. Food is amazingly good. A couple areas they could do better on is landscaping. There is no good outdoor picture area. There is two banquet rooms maybe someway to keep the areas separate. There could be a partition wall maybe to keep the 2 areas separate but The bride and groom rooms are across the hall from each other.

We had our wedding here at the end of August. Everyone raved about the food! The staff was exceptional! They were extremely kind and attentive. Highly recommend having your wedding here. Everything went so smoothly and it was beautiful!

Leslie and the staff were amazing and went above and beyond to make sure our day was everything. Plus , she really made sure we had everything and that on the day of things went smoothly very present throughout the day and evening set up was great food was great they made my day and night to be more than I expected would do it all again at the same venue really great service and appreciate all they did

We were so thoroughly pleased with Banquets of Minnesota. So easy to work with, perfect for our budget, and beautiful. The staff was so friendly and the food was amazing. I loved all the compliments I received from guests about how beautiful the place was and how good the food was!

Leslie and her team are amazing! We loved that Banquets had everything included and preferred vendors. We had our ceremony and reception there. Everyone raved about the food and my dad is still talking about it as the best food he's ever had at a wedding! Communicating with Leslie was so easy and she answered all questions, even the one where we asked if we could have llamas visit! The Banquets of MN felt welcoming and inclusive of everyone, as two brides that was very important!

She was amazing and helped me and my husband the best way she can. She made sure it was all about what I wanted and I have an amazing wedding. Thank you all you done for us.

Working with Leslie was amazing, she made everything super easy and was great at answering any questions we had along the way and making any changes we wanted. The venue is beautiful, it was perfect for the amount of people we had.

Everything was so taken care of and went so smoothly! The food, service, and atmosphere was amazing. I had so many questions and never felt like it was too much or that I didn’t have enough information to feel prepared. The night went better than we could have hoped. Fabulous venue!

We had an amazing experience with Banquets of Minnesota. The communication with out Banquet Hall Coordinator Leslie was by far exceeded our expectations. There were definitely points where we were not allowed to decorate certain parts of the hall for our Winter Wonderland Theme. However, Leslie answered with these requests right away to all of our emails and met up with us whenever we wanted to meet in person. The experience overall was top notch. We had to do very little work overall when it came to setting the tables, centerpieces, chairs, food, you name it! They also had preferred vendors for dj, cakes, etc. which made it easier to find those vendors as well. The hall did look beautiful with all the lights and decor. We got a lot of compliments on the food (especially the honey baked ham), and a few people said it was the best wedding food they’d ever had. We would definitely recommend Banquets of Minnesota to anyone who is looking for a very fun reception, less work for wedding planning, a beautiful setup, and a place that is budget friendly!

My wife and I got married in AZ where we live and were planning our wedding reception in MN to be able to celebrate our new chapter with all of our family and friends. We initially thought this was going to be an impossible task until we met Leslie at the Banquets of Minnesota. She was really good about communicating with us about everything we wanted and made our wedding dreams come true! They offer catering services and have other vendors they routinely work with that really made this a one stop shop for our reception. The food was incredible, as well as the DJ company she recommended. Leslie truly made planning this event easy for us and took care of everything the day of allowing us to relax and enjoy ourselves. Highly recommend!

We were looking for a venue that had a quick availability. We had 5 months before our wedding date to find a venue. We did what every couple does; googled wedding venues in our area. We drove by Banquets of MN to see what it looked like before making a phone call. It looks like a warehouse building on the outside and so at first we were like no way. So, we toured one other place and we decided to give Banquets a call. When we got inside, we were wowed. Each ballroom was beautiful! From the lighted ceilings to to the floors. We met with Leslie and she was wonderful. She was knowledgeable, pleasant, always engaging, and very responsive. She was also very organized which made my job easy. They offered a tasting night which allowed us to get a grasp of what we would be serving our guests. We chose two dishes from that night even though we didn’t have to. When it came time for the wedding, Leslie and the staff were super pleasant and friendly. Still very organized and they were always available for questions. My kiddo was having a rough time beforehand and everyone went with the flow when it came to him and what his role was. The food was served hot and on time. We got a lot of compliments on this. We actually had a perfect wedding. Nothing went wrong leading up to and on the day of. We got a ton of compliments on the staff and the venue. We did a unique father/daughter dance and a few staff members came up to me and told me that they were in tears and they had never seen that done before. This was really a highlight because it showed they were engaged with us. We would HIGHLY recommend using Banquets of MN for any of your party needs. They don’t do just weddings. They do surprise parties, sports banquets, etc. We couldn’t have been happier with their services.

Leslie and her team at Banquets of MN were awesome! Leslie is one of the nicest people we have ever worked with. Whenever my husband and I reached out to Leslie with questions, she was always prompt with replying to us. We made a some last minute changes days before our June wedding and they were very accommodating. Our family/guest were telling us how amazing the staff was on the day of the wedding and raved about the food and services that was provided. Our wedding day went so smoothly and was beautiful! We are so happy that we had our wedding at the Banquets of MN and it was a great experience!

Banquets was amazing! One month before our wedding the reception space we had booked cancelled on us, needless to say we were devastated and lost hope. Then we got in contact with Leslie, and she really saved the day! She got in contact with us about a cancellation and worked with us to make our day amazing. She was very responsive in her communications with us and made sure to work with us so we were both on the same page. When our wedding day came, everything went wonderfully! The staff at Banquets were on top of everything and quick to help us. And Leslie was there to check in with myself and my new husband to make sure that we were doing well. Thank you so much Leslie and staff for helping us and taking care of us! Samantha and Michael

Dear Leslie, Just wanted to extend to you our greatest thanks. I spoke with a couple of the staff members Saturday night to let them know how pleased we were. All the staff were professional and very personable. And everything went along without any glitches. I was extra pleased when one of the staff noticed our eldest son in line trying to plate his food and his grandfathers' (who is in a wheelchair)...The gal stepped in and helped plate dads' food going along item by item asking him what he would like....It was just VERY nice for her to do. The DJ you recommended was also excellent. The food was very tasty and your facility was set up perfectly. I have heard similar comments about your staff and facility from family members as well. We will definitely recommend Banquets of MN to others.

Thanks to Banquets of MN our reception was incredible! First, we received many compliments from our guests about the food, the gorgeous set up of the ballroom, the wait staff and their attention to detail, & did I mention the FOOD which was delish! Secondly, by using vendors that had a relationship with Banquets it made planning effortless. The one stop shop is the way to do it. Last but definitely not least, Leslie was awesome to work with. She responded in a timely matter to our texts and our many questions. She is a true professional and this shows by being organized, friendly, and helpful. She truly loves her job and wants to create a beautiful experience for the wedding couple.

I'm not sure we can put into words how grateful and impressed we were with Leslie and the entire staff at Banquets, but we will try. From start to finish they made the entire process so incredibly easy and comfortable. The venue itself is so affordable and they set up a ton of the decorations for you. Leslie, the venue manager, is a complete professional. She knows exactly what she's doing and we had total trust and confidence in her. We received ENDLESS compliments about the space, the staff, and the FOOD (which is incredible). They also have so many established relationships with cake, DJ, photo booth, and hotel vendors that the rest of your wedding planning essentially is done. They have two spaces - one larger and one smaller. At first I was worried about them having two weddings at once but to be honest we didn't even notice the other party so it felt completely private. If you are on the fence about anything, absolutely book the Banquets. You will not be disappointed. We weren't and I fully believe that the Banquets was central to us having the best day of our lives. Thank you to Leslie and the amazing wonderful staff at Banquets.

Leslie was so amazing! She was one of the deciding factors between Banquets and other venues. You're going to be having quite a bit of contact back and forth between you and your venue coordinator, and I wanted that to be Leslie. As far as the space, dance floor was nice. Not too sticky, not too slippery, there is a DJ booth so you don't have to budget space for a DJ if you go with one of theirs (I used my own DJ and he just used a corner table in front of the booth). The light garlands provided were absolutely lovely. If I could go back in time and choose Banquets of MN again, I would!

Leslie was wonderful. She knows her stuff and helped us plan a beautiful reception on a budget. The venue was beautiful, and several of our guests raved about how good the food was. If you're planning a reception, I highly recommend Banquets of Minnesota!
