We got married at The Capitol Room October of 2025. The day was absolutely perfect! The venue alone is gorgeous but Megan was AMAZING! We cannot recommend her enough! She made the ...
day run so smoothly and solved any issues before we knew about them. Her eye for detail and decor is exquisite! She is very experienced and gives great advice on what works well for the space and for your wedding day overall. She communicated with all vendors and helped out always. She made my bridal party and family feel so welcome and relaxed. We are very lucky to have gotten Megan to coordinate our day! 🤍

Choosing the Capitol Room was truly one of the very best decisions we made throughout the wedding planning process. When we walked through the door, we knew immediately that this w...
as IT - the beautiful brick walls, gorgeous lighting, cozy and sexy vibes were just incredible. While the venue was awesome and truly spoke for itself, choosing to sign on Megan to coordinate day-of was truly the icing on the cake. Megan was so fantastic to work with and truly dedicates her entire being to making sure the day runs smoothly. I was able to contact Megan with millions of the silliest and now seemingly insignificant questions and she made me feel heard and calmed my every nerve and worry. Megan periodically checked in with me and my husband and our parties, making sure things were going well and to check if we needed anything all while literally doing everything else - decor, coordinating with other vendors, quite literally the star of the show. We were complimented on the venue and Megan's blatant awesomeness not only on wedding day but for weeks thereafter. If you're looking to book a venue with incredible views but also an even more incredible day-of coordinator, the Capitol Room and Megan are all you need! We love you, Megan!

u could need! The Bridal Suite and Grooms Suite are very spacious and are such a perk of this venue. When you book The Capitol Room, you get the entire venue for your day. Megan was incredible to work with and we knew we were in good hands with her. Hiring her for Day of Coordination and Decor was the best decision we could have made. She handled everything and we didn’t have to worry about a single thing that day. She went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect, and it was. When our officiant cancelled on us 2 days before our wedding and I asked Megan if she would marry us, she didn’t even think twice and said whatever you need I will do it! We remained in close contact for the entire year of planning and she nailed it! Our guests gave so many compliments on the venue, how beautiful it was, and how professional all of the staff working that day were. I Highly recommend The Capitol Room and Megan as your Day of Coordination!

onest! Megan was honest about what we did and didn’t need for our wedding and never “sold” us items she thought we wouldn’t need! Of all my vendors, Megan is in my top 3 of best people to work with!
She’s obviously very skilled and experienced at her job and she knows exactly how to make a wedding great! She’s also very personable and very much cares about your wedding and what you want!
I highly recommend hiring Megan as your coordinator for your wedding at the capitol room, you will not be disappointed. Thanks Megan!

elped bring our visions and ideas to fruition. Every time we had a question, they responded almost immediately and helped turn any of our suggestions into reality. I knew from the moment we met them, that they truly care about their couples, and want what is best for them. They were truly amazing to work with! The moment we walked in, we felt in awe of the space. It is so enchanting, perfect for our wedding day. From the bridal suite, to the groom's suite, to the reception space, we were completely blown away by the character of the space. I would highly recommend The Capitol Room to any couple who is looking for a place that has great staff, great space and a great location! We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

egan, who we also used for day of coordination services, was so helpful! She took care of all details during the day and made sure me and my husband were stress free and enjoying the day, while also staying on track for time management. I could not imagine a more perfect place and team for our wedding and I highly recommend working with The Capitol Room.

ife and I to get ready in two separate suites. There was a separate space for everyone to enjoy cocktail hour while the room was flipped for the reception and dance. From the minute we toured the space we knew it was where we wanted to have our wedding. Sitting down with Megan was an absolute delight. We hired her for her day of coordinator services as well and she took care of everything. She made the room stunning and we didn’t have to worry about anything. She was extremely professional, she was in constant communication with us and even took our call the night before at 10pm when our officiant quit on us last minute. She helped us through the situation and calmed our nerves. The day of the ceremony it felt like we were working with one of our close friends by our sides. We can’t recommend Megan and the Capitol Room enough!!

Working with Megan & the team helped reduce all of my wedding planning anxiety; they helped answer my questions and concerns along the way and made me feel so at ease on the day of my wedding. The venue is also so beautiful & we received so many compliments from guests regarding the stunning brick, gorgeous lighting, and amazing staff. There were so many great photo opportunities in the venue that made our wedding photos so unique and timeless. If you are considering having your wedding or next event here, DO IT! We are so thankful to The Capitol Room & staff for making our wedding the very best day!

s. The venue team was easy to work with and it made for a very smooth and enjoyable wedding day.
We purchased the all inclusive package, which was well worth it to us just for the coordinator and table linens alone!
We received many raving reviews from guests about how gorgeous and unique the wedding venue was. We would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a romantic venue mixed with a little Art Deco and old fashioned charm.

he is so kind, easy to communicate with, and goes above and beyond to accommodate everyone (the couple, their families, and their vendors) to ensure a perfect day. The venue itself is gorgeous and we got many compliments on the space. We had a live band (it was their first time playing at this venue) and the acoustics worked perfectly (the band said they would definitely be back!). The venue also rents linens and decor so you don't have to go out and buy much decor yourself (which saves a lot of time!). All in all, I am so happy we chose this venue. Although being further from home for most of our guests (my husband and I live in Minneapolis), this was a great venue and one that was well worth the drive! Book with them, you will not be disappointed.

I literally can’t say enough good things about the Capitol Room. Megan and her team are AMAZING!! The venue is gorgeous and I loved all of the amenities available (bride and groom ...
suite, cocktail hour space, etc.)! When we originally walked out of there after touring for the first time, we were just raving about it. Megan was actually a huge reason we booked there. She is so helpful and on top of things and really helped me keep my sanity through the process. She’s also just a gem of a human. If you can afford the day-of-coordination I 1000% recommend. Everything went so smooth for our wedding, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

Megan and Dan made our wedding dream come true, Getting married during a pandemic was not easy but they found a way to help us have the perfect wedding. The bridal party getting re...
ady room was perfect for our hair and makeup vendors to come to us. lots of natural light but good light for the hair and makeup to be done as well. We had 8 bridesmaids, 8 groomsmen, and 3 ushers and we never felt cramped in the spaces. The Bride room was STUNNING. I did a reveal for my parents in that rooms as well and my bridesmaids and it was breathtakingly beautiful.
My husband and I did not do a first look and Megan and Dan helped us achieve the absolute best reveal as my dad and I walked down the aisle.
The groomsmen had the times of their lives before the wedding, and Megan and Dan helped to keep everyone having fun, on time, and hydrated.
We used Megan as our wedding coordinator and it was hands down the best decision. She helped the day run smoothly, was always available for questions, frequently visited both bridal party and the groomsmen before the ceremony to help in any way. She has an eye for decor as well. She understood my vision it all and brought it to life. I cannot say enough good things about her. We could not have done it with out her.
The ceremony space was gorgeous. The temperature was perfect inside, even with our dance party. The bar tenders were always on top of waters and drinks.
Would 10/10 recommend getting married at the Capitol Room!

The Capitol Room exceeded all of our expectations! Our wedding was perfect and Megan did an amazing job coordinating everything. I thought I was going to miss out on my favorite ...
dessert, eclairs from Diamond Dust Bakery, but Megan made sure to save some for me - that was customer service! Everything went smoothly and my wedding guests are still talking about how beautiful the venue was and how much they enjoyed the event. I honestly cannot think of one criticism. My husband and I were able to enjoy our big day to the fullest because of the amazing staff and coordination at the Capitol Room. Cheers!

ur friends and family anywhere but The Capitol Room. We received so many wonderful compliments from our guests!
Megan is super detailed, friendly, and always there when I had a question. She is amazing at her job! We also used Megan’s day of coordinating services. If it’s something you’re interested in, DO IT. You will not regret it. She relieved so much stress for me!
Megan and the staff also did an amazing job keeping the beautiful area clean all night! If something spilled on the floor, someone was there cleaning it up right away. (It was so clean my dress was minimally dirty at the end of the night!! YAAY!) The tables were cleared of empty cups and beer cans frequently. It looked great all night!
I highly recommend The Capitol Room!! Now all I’m thinking about is “what other kind of celebration can I throw so I can work with them again!?!”
