The Commons

r you. However, what I truly loved was the professionalism and promptness of the coordinators I worked with. When it came down to finalizing the details in the last two months, their team did an outstanding job of following up with vendors and me. I couldn't believe how great they were. Lorah and Pam had all of my best interests and were ready to make the day as smooth as possible. They will ask a lot of necessary questions!! And from what I've heard, most coordinators are not this thorough. Our day was as smooth as could be and our day-of coordinator was everything we could ask for. She is an absolute necessity to your day. I was able to sit back and relax without any worries! And when one of the vendors had a little oopsie, they made sure to hold them accountable and fixed it all without involving me. This was a perfect day and I couldn't have asked for more. My husband and I both agree we did everything right in choosing this venue.

Pam, Kathleen, and Judy are the best of the best! Our day went according to plan, so smooth, and we couldn’t have done it without their help! We received so many compliments from friends and family alike, on how perfect the venue was, it was breathtaking. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a natural-feel, romantic spot for their wedding! We absolutely loved every minute of being there! 5 stars for sure!!!!!

minimal. It is reasonably priced and our night went smooth from start to finish! We have already recommended this venue to other friends/families that are going to be getting married!

the wedding planning. Amy the wedding coordinator went above and beyond to make my wedding perfect!

w onto vendors... The Commons has a preferred list of vendors that you have to choose from for Catering, Décor and Alcohol and then "Suggested Exceptional" vendors for officiant, music, photography, etc... Depending on what kind of bride you are, this could be a good or bad thing being narrowed down to certain vendors only. I chose True Taste Event & Catering with Chef Jeff and was pleased with the food selection and pricing available. We received compliments on the food from various guests. One thing to note is that Chef Jeff is pretty busy running his catering business plus his restaurant inside The Landmark Center so he may not respond to you immediately. I sent a couple of emails and texts a few weeks before the wedding to go over last minute details and guest count and he never responded until the Monday before the wedding. It turned out to be fine but if you're a control freak like me, it can be nerve-wracking. Another important note to mention is that Lorah assigns you an event coordinator for the wedding day that is a separate payment from the venue. One of the downfalls of this is that you don't get to meet your coordinator until the week of so trying to cram your vision into a 1-hour session with the coordinator can be very stressful. However, I worked with Pam and in our short time together, she was extremely pleasant to work with and helped made my wedding day go smoothly. Overall, I had a pleasant experience at VHC and would recommend this venue to friends and family!

ersonal advice with our best interest in mind. We are very so lucky to have our very special day at Vadnais Heights Commons and to be able to say our wedding day was FLAWLESS. This defiantly would not have happened out the experience and step by step planning Lorah helped us with. Lorah and her team also stayed on top of the schedule and did a phenomenal job communicative with other vendors. The entire staff at Vadnais Heights Commons made sure everything went off like clockwork during the event. They were attentive the whole time and took care of anything we needed. We defiantly recommend this location for all of our personal friends and families.

able to answer all of my questions and make everything possible! Overall, this venue is AMAZING, the staff is great. I highly recommend The Commons!! It is so beautiful and elegant!

Lorah has thoroughly vetted all vendors and set high expectations for those who work with her. I greatly appreciate and respect that. It was just a joy to be able to leave a note or write a message and team members followed through exactly. Standards are set high and team members care. What a joy to work with this group, truly caring and professional. Thanks from the bottom of our hearts. This group made our day a stunning testament to love. Thanks for helping us make that happen! Respectfully yours. Joyce (Mother of the Bride)

est for you on your special day. Lorah’s organization and relationship with the vendors she works with took much of the stress away for us as we planned our wedding. Not to mention the place is absolutely beautiful!!

ember it had a beautiful tree with white lights where many guests took photos. Through the use of vendors, Grand Designs and Flore Inspired, we transformed the room into an elegant, breathtaking experience for our 265 guests. Creative Catering worked wonders with the food and we got many compliments. Spicy Meatball took amazing photos and also as the DJ kept the guest dancing until the very end. Photo booth Creations made an amazing guest book and Walter Mueller Studio has awed us with the wedding video. When you visit Vadnais Commons it is important to keep in mind how it will be with everything set up and how you can build your own vision. We loved it and so did our guests.

elt like there was plenty of room to move around, whether it was to dance or to socialize with other guests. Lorah was very helpful during the whole planning process. She had great ideas and recommendations. Her list of approved vendors works for every budget.

ist of recommendations for caterers, photographers, etc. is very helpful and not to mention, awesome vendors! Thank you to everyone at The Commons for making our wedding day the best day ever!!

nator, was amazing to work with and helped us with all the details along the way to make our night memorable. She took charge and getting everything organized and set up the day of so I could relax and enjoy the day! We also were given a list of preferred vendors so we had plenty of options to create the exact type of night that we wanted. Since they all regularly work with VHC, everything went off without a hitch! Everyone knew exactly where to go, what to do, and when to do it! I HIGHLY recommend this venue to anyone looking for a stunning place to get married and wow your guests!

planning, but he made things so so easy for us!

ork with and helped us every step of the way up until our wedding. I highly recommend VHC. It’s a beautiful venue and a fun place to have your ceremony/or reception.

ghout the day and all expectations were laid out for them and of us. We did not have a single thing go wrong and my husband and I enjoyed our day.

my daughter. They succeeded!

ew we needed to have our wedding there. The venue has space to hold small and large parties. Our wedding was around 250 people which was a perfect size for the space. The staff at the venue were excellent to work with. They helped check-in and had several meetings with us throughout our planning process to make sure we were on track with everything. Emails and questions were promptly responded to as well. The day of the wedding everything went so smoothly and our on-site coordinators were great! I highly recommend taking a look at the Vadnais Heights Commons.

we worked with were amazing, (Donatellis, Grand Design, photo booth creations, and Tom Schoolmeesters) EXCEPT for complete beverage. The day of the wedding, the male bartender was extremely rude and unprofessional. We paid for two bars to be open for the entire reception and they closed one down for almost an hour. A family friend spent 20 minutes convincing them that we paid for two bars the entire night before they finally called Lorah to confirm the bar hours. We paid for keg beer, but they didn't bring any. Drinks were watered down. They didn't serve the headtable drinks. Again, we love the commons, but were extremely disappointed in complete beverage, it was a complete disaster. I would not recommend them to anyone in the future.

lly wanted a venue that was private, had outdoor space and was naturally beautiful. We also didn't want to have to worry about capacity issues with our fluctuating guest list, and I knew with this place we wouldn't have to deal with the stress of bumping up against maximum capacity issues (it's incredibly spacious). They also have vendor recommendations that they have fully vetted that are all fantastic (and economical!). This takes a lot of work out of finding, vetting and securing high quality vendors (caterer, DJ, decorator, etc.). And as if the venue wasn't amazing enough on its own (it is), Lorah Palmer - your main point of contact - is outstanding. I cannot stress this enough, but if you have not planned a wedding before (the norm), you need someone on your team who knows what they are doing. Lorah is that person and then some; she is an absolute pro with countless years of experience. I know other reviews rave about Lorah, but let me tell you this: the fact that she is included in the venue cost is simply PRICELESS. I would have happily paid twice as much as we paid for the experience of working with Lorah (and we were on a tight budget). Everything from meeting with us throughout the wedding planning process as many times as we wanted to working with our cake vendor who happened to have "no record of our cake order" (Lorah had a beautiful cake there within an hour and had the company issue us a gift card that more than covered the cake), Lorah's involvement in our wedding planning and big day helped both the groom and I fully enjoy our engagement and bid day stress free. I always knew everything was in good hands, and that was absolutely priceless. Book VHC for your big day - you will NOT be disappointed!

smoothly. Lorah was super responsive. I never had to wait long for a response and she was always willing to meet with us to answer any questions and guide us through the planning process. Our day ran smoothly and I have Lorah to thank for that. Thank you!

o have her on site at the reception to handle anything that came up was perfect. Because VHC has a list of vendors to work with, we had a much easier time choosing our catering-Donatelli's-wonderful, DJ-Greg Ellis-awesome, decorator-Grand Designs-gorgeous-- and beverage service-Complete Beverage-perfect. All were splendid as well! A perfect day for the wonderful couple!

if you choose the VHC.

ons and were so happy with how our wedding turned out!!

ing. The event coordinator, Lorah, was absolutely wonderful to work with. She truly went above and beyond to make sure that everything went smoothly. Her standards are nothing less than perfect for all wedding receptions, and she worked to make sure the day went exactly as I envisioned it! She works so hard to accommodate the individual needs of all couples. Her efforts help make our wedding day as amazing as it was.

is unheard of. We are able to finish on site and serve top quality food and flavor. Our recent event at VHC went perfectly and our staff commented on how great it was to work there and the people involved with VHC were nice and great to work with. Looking forward to many more successful events!

helpful in the planning process. When we had any vendor-related issues, Lorah was very responsive and moved quickly to resolve any problems we faced. The day of the wedding went perfectly. Per our request, Lorah and her team flawlessly executed a major room flip for our 200+ guest wedding in just over an hour. Impressive. One downside to a wedding reception at VHC is that a Sheriff presence is required, at your expense. For the $300 we paid for the required service, I assumed that security was to remain behind the scenes and meant to be present to monitor potentially out-of-control guests. This was not the case, as the Sheriff on duty at our wedding was inside the reception hall lurking around the dance floor. He repeatedly grabbed drinks (that guests had purchased from the cash bar) from high-top tables and threw them in the trash if guests set them down to move to the dance floor. To my extreme displeasure, the security officer also showed up in a considerable number of my professional wedding photos. Overall, our experience at VHC was great, and we would recommend booking your big day there, just be mindful that there will likely be a Sheriff present at the reception acting as if boundaries between guests and security don't exist.

r was amazing as well, our wedding date might have fallen through the cracks a little, since she normally meets with couples 3 months before their wedding date and we met 1 month before. But never the less everything went off without a hitch. Lorah has a great vendor list to help relieve the stress of having to find a vendor. She also made sure that our vision came to life on our big day, by adding all of our personal touches. We couldn't have asked for a better day or better vendors working with us. I highly recommend this venue!

he commons were perfect for us to watch the snow falling outside :). Lorah at the Commons was incredibly helpful in planning the day, helping us changeover the ballroom from ceremony to reception and giving us vendor recommendations. She thinks of everything! I would highly recommend VHC to brides looking for a more modern venue that you can personalize to your taste and style!

super easy to get ahold of and offered sound advice along every step of the way. When we first booked our wedding reception at VHC, we were given a list of “preferred vendors” to select the various necessary services from. That list was super helpful, and it made our planning so much easier! There were suggestions that could accommodate all budgets, and the vendors worked with us to make sure we were able to get what we wanted for the price we were willing to pay. Our wedding reception panned out exactly as we had imagined, and we would HIGHLY recommend the commons to anyone planning a wedding!

orsed, because of this, we all have a relaxed wonderful night, able to focus on ours guests & to watch our Daughter & son in law enjoy themselves so much.

e top to make a big impact. We had both our ceremony and reception at The Commons and the flip was seamless and executed perfectly. All communication was speedy and the price was unbeatable. There were so many places to take pictures around the commons in nature, and it is a short drive from St Paul to take more city pictures. Everyone was so accommodating and I loved how the space could be personalized with minimal "stuff" coming in, because after the wedding, the last thing you will want to do is take down and find places for the million things you "need" for the day! Honestly though, the best investment we made towards our day was hiring Lorah as our wedding coordinator. Before the wedding she walked us through every detail, bringing up things I hadn't even thought of. She was available constantly, I honestly cant think of a time it took her more than an hour to respond to an email or phone call. She bent over backwards to make the day smooth and stress-free, and if there was anything that didn't go the way it was supposed to on the day, I don't know about it! A couple days before the wedding, I had an issue arise with a decoration that I was bringing in, and I was so worried about it and how I was going to get it into the space on time. Lorah took care of it for me, even though she didn't have to, and six weeks after the wedding I am still so grateful and relieved. I loved our experience with her, and if you do decide to book this space, HIRE HER. It is so worth it.

tion that our guests still compliment us on today. Their preferred vendors are also great to work with. The price of the venue is very comparable to others in the Twin Cities/Metro and I just advise couples to make sure you factor in the 12% venue fee into your budget (for items like the catering, ceiling drapery, chair covers, etc.) - it can sneak up on you if you don't already account for it. The venue is very informative about this fee prior to signing any contracts, so it's known from the start. The venue was the perfect spot for us. The floor to ceiling windows, large open floor plan, and spacious rooms make it an elegant, natural setting for wedding receptions. I can't say enough good things about VHC!

ating. We received so many complements on how beautiful the venue was!

ad her time messed up and would constantly question me and tell me I was wrong. When I booked with VHC I was absolutely in love with the venue and I was excited about how bubbly Lorah was. However over the year long planning process her communication skills were exhausting. Every time we had an appointment she would not show up and I would call her and she thought it was at a different time. For example we paid to get in early to set up Wednesday night and we were planned for 5:00 after sitting outside for 15 minutes with melting chocolate I called her and she said she had it down for 6pm. I was beyond upset because my chocolate for my candy bar was melting. She gave me the code to get in the building and I was able to set up and finish it myself before she even showed up. When she did show up she wanted to go over details and change everything 3 days before my wedding. I hate to sit here and degrade the individual but I was a very prepared bride and the lack of communication of Lorah really made it a struggle for me to be able to relax before my wedding day. I was super annoyed when she also called me at 9:30pm the Saturday before my wedding to go over details. How about you call me at a better time of the day rather than at 9:30 at night.... Overall I was very thankful when I had a different coordinator the day of the wedding who was AMAZING and very helpful. :) Vadnais Heights Commons is a beautiful location and was everything I wanted in a sense of location and set up. It was PERFECT for our Rustic themed wedding. The only issue I really has was with the coordination that is definitely lacking.

gaged! I received an email for my fiance to check out her venues she operated and we instantly fell in love with the Commons. We booked right away, even though our wedding wasn't until almost another 2 years! Over those two years, we were able to develop a friendship with Lorah and Joe (our photographer who Lorah highly recommended!) We can definitely say we have made some great friendships with the VHC community. Our wedding day was what we dreamed of and more. It was absolutely perfect, and I felt such at ease the entire day because it ran so smoothly. Please, if you are newly engaged, come check out the commons!!! I highly recommend it as well as Lorah's recommendations for her vendors and who to go through. Wedding planning couldn't have been any easier, and the day of as well. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts VHC community and Lorah. You guys have made our day so so so special and we cannot wait to tell all our friends and family about it. There is no doubt we will be using this venue for future events and all the vendors we have gone through with VHC. Again, thank you so much.

g an event!

event-wedding-fundraiser- corporate gala - graduation party etc I would rate this venue as one of the Twin Cities finest venues. Lorah is the best at planning an event! You are in great hands!

g-fundraiser- corporate gala - graduation party etc I would rate this venue as one of the Twin Cities finest venues. So for planning your wedding day Lorah is the best you can get! You are in great hands!

gorgeous and unlike anything I had seen, we had many compliments the night of our wedding from guests. The price was reasonable and the staff were all very friendly, most importantly it easily accommodated our large wedding with room to spare. Lorah is very organized and on top of things, making sure you have everything ready for your big day as it nears. We were also pleased to find out we had several options for catering instead of being forced into one, it allowed us to help stay within our budget and get exactly what we were looking for. Although we did not have our ceremony here, it is an option they offer as well.

yone.

any budget.

ing and reception, the organization of the details unfolded seamlessly, and attentive staff showed extreme hospitality and generosity to make the family and bride's event memorable and stress-free. I was most impressed not only with the unique building accommodations, but with the event coordinator and her team working alongside her.

a preferred vendor list- vendors that have worked at the venue so they know what to expect and are able to help with all the details. The flowers were above and beyond anything I could have imagined. Lorah and the team at Vadnais were accommodating, fun and sweet, from the rehearsal to the Big Day I couldn't have dreamed anything better than this. It was awesome to have large rooms for getting ready, the staff at The Commons were professional and very on top of everything- the price is worth the expense, I never felt like I had to worry about anything!!! Thanks Vadnais :)

have to meet a food and beverage minimum. Having “no food/beverage minimums” is wonderful and a rarity in the event business. Besides the ambiance of the building the staff is amazing! Lorah will work with you from the time you book all the way to a beautiful “thank you”. Her execution is to perfection. Lorah will keep you organized, remind you things you would not even think of and make certain all of your wishes and desires are achieved. Lorah will surpass your expectations. Vadnais Heights Commons is a venue you will want to share your special day with family and friends. They book far in advance so check them out soon. You will not be sorry!

incredibly beautiful venue and allowed for us to do everything at the same place. Would recommend to everyone!

was very particular in our search for the perfect venue. Lorah Palmer was AMAZING to work with -- very fun, professional, detailed and experienced. You can tell that she really cares about each couple's wedding and takes pride in her work. I can't say enough good things about her. She was an invaluable resource throughout the entire planning process. One reason that we chose this location is that we were able to choose the caterer and bar service that best fit our needs. We hired Donatelli's and Complete Beverage Service who both did a great job and were reasonably priced. It is so rare to find such a unique and affordable venue that allows you to choose your own vendors (rather than requiring you to use their overpriced catering, bar, etc...). Thank you Vadnais Heights Commons for making our wedding day so amazing! We could not be happier in our experience!!

are plenty of places and beautiful spaces!

ter-brained she was. She caused so much confusion in the rehearsal and did the same on the wedding day. Things would have gone so much smoother without her. Even then I brushed it off and wasn't very upset. But when we contacted her and expressed our concerns, this is when she got very unprofessional and nasty. Instead of apologizing and accepting her mistakes and shortcomings, she attacked us with accusations of stealing ideas from her daughter's wedding! Who does that?? The level of unprofessionalism is unheard of. My advice....go somewhere else and save yourself any additional stress that this may cause on an already extremely stressful event.

venue provided the perfect atmosphere for the kick-off to our lives together!

nator to be present. Lorah suggested we hire her for ours. Throughout our planning process, she was great. Until we got closer to the day of. She mixed up our rehearsal date. A few days before our wedding, she told me to decide if we were going to have an indoor or outdoor ceremony because it was going to rain. I had been checking all week and there was no rain in sight. I had to make sure she had the right date set for our wedding after all of these mix ups. I wasn’t the only one who felt she was a bit unorganized and flakey. A few of my other vendors who had met Lorah felt the same way. I paid for early access on our wedding day. We arrived on time, and were able to get into the building because our decorator was there. Otherwise, we would have been waiting outside for Lorah to let us in. She asked me many details which we had already gone over during our final meeting, and I felt extremely overwhelmed and upset that I had to deal with all of these questions on top of getting myself ready. Every time I sat down, I felt that I was being pulled aside by her for questions. She also told me her only responsibilities were to set up our place cards, and a few frames in the shadow boxes. Everything else she did as a “kind gesture.” I have worked on a lot of weddings myself. Most coordinators will do whatever they can to help out and help ease any stress, but she complained about everything. My bridesmaids had to step in and help with a lot of details because we had such a tough time tracking her down all morning. What frustrated me the most, was that she got our table numbers completely wrong. I had sent her an updated chart a few days before our wedding. She responded, “No Problem,” but on the day of she used the old chart I sent her, and tables were totally mixed up. Even though we spent days working on our seating chart, it was completely rendered useless because she used the wrong version. We had elderly family members who thought we didn’t save a seat for them, and it reflected extremely poorly on me and my husband. We received all the backlash for Lorah’s mistake. After our wedding, I sent her an email expressing how disappointed I was with the way things went. I hoped she would take ownership for these mistakes, and learn from it. But instead, she listed every single thing that went wrong on my wedding day and blamed me and my bridesmaids for all of it. She even claimed that I copied her daughter’s wedding design. In her words exactly, she claimed I mimicked her daughter’s wedding design except she used higher end linens, better floral design, an up-scaled photo booth. She also told me that her “daughter’s wedding would be impossible for someone to “mimic exactly.” I was shocked by her response. Lorah and I never discussed any design details together, and I had created my wedding vision with our decorator. I was simply trying to let her know why I was disappointed with her services on our wedding day, and instead of apologizing for her mistakes, she attacked me, and I saw how truly unprofessional she could be. Again, this venue is beautiful. But do yourself a favor, find another coordinator who will actually help out on your wedding day instead of causing unnecessary stress.

dding, I never felt unsure of the process or what to expect at The Commons. Our guests were very impressed and thought it was a beautiful venue. I hope that I have the opportunity down the road to attend another event at The Commons!

ils during the one year of planning. On the big day, she made sure that everything went on without a single hiccup and really put our minds as ease because we knew she had everything taken care of. The venue looked beautiful and it was a memorable day for us and our guests. Thank you VHC for making our day so special!

for a better experience!

ows and wooden beam structure. The venue is very clean and designed well for all events. There is great natural lighting with the ability to pull shades down if necessary. Lorah Palmer and her team of coordinators are so great to work with. They are very organized and accommodating. They definitely know what they are doing when it comes to planning, coordinating and managing your event at the Commons. They are more than willing to work closely with you prior to your event to ensure you get what you want out of your event/the venue. Day of, they work behind the scenes to make sure everything runs smoothly and according to plan. They are very organized, structured and take pride in their venue to ensure all events happen beautifully. I would definitely recommend this venue- especially for a wedding.

y to work with and helpful. I think that anyone would be happy with having there wedding at this awesome location.

eeded to be. The real star of the show was Lorah Palmer, the event coordinator, worth every penny. She made sure everything ran smoothly and that the big was special and all about my sister and her groom. She is an exceptional woman and knows her weddings. She clearly loves her job, loves people, and enjoys making people's days special and memorable. The venue is classy and elegant with a modern twist, if considering between the Commons and somewhere else, hands down this is the place to get married. Thank you Lorah and your event staff you are all wonderful!

gs but for any kind of event.

nteracted with were so helpful! We had both our ceremony and reception here. I highly recommend if you want a beautiful and stress free wedding!

ustrating communication/experiences with an event coordinator. On one particular occasion, we had a 745 pm meeting with her at Vadnais Heights Commons — she showed up at 9 pm with Marshall's bags in hand. She said she thought the meeting was at 845 pm. She then looked at her planner and realized the meeting was at 745. We also received multiple calls asking us questions we had already answered in previous conversations.

it throughout our search before deciding it was just meant to be, as nothing else compared to it. We also really enjoyed working with Lorah Palmer, and it was obvious she was invested in our event and in us. We liked that we were given options for caterers and decorators, as so many venues don't allow you to choose. We ended up choosing Donatelli's for our caterer, and got RAVE reviews from all of our guests. So we are also thankful VHC referred us to them. Overall, working with Lorah, and the rest of the VHC staff was very easy, professional, and prompt on all matters... All things important to a "Type A" bride planning a wedding :). They listened to what we wanted, our ideas, and concerns, and made sure we got what we wanted. They also had a lot of input that was helpful, and ideas and suggestions we never would have thought of. We had our wedding 3 days ago, and I already wish we could do it all over again! We will definitely be crossing paths with them for future events.

endors. Every vendor we worked with was beyond amazing! Donatellis catered our wedding and the food was amazing! Photo Booth Creations are wonderful to work with! Matt rocks! Greg Ellis is phenomenal! First Dance Films and Russell Heeter are the best for photos and video! Complete Beverage was amazing and the bartenders were very personable! Rosa's Cake gallery is the best cake you will ever eat! If you want to have a wonderful, stress free, wedding, book at the Commons! Thanks Lorah for all you did!

ming "the flip", the guests were able to walk to the other side of the building which is equally beautiful and have cocktails/appetizers. They have a bridal room and a grooms room for the bridal party to get ready in and leave personal belongings and also to lock up the gifts/cards for safe keeping. We had Donatelli's catering which provided a great dinner that is far from your common chicken or fish entrée. Lorah Palmer is the event coordinator at the Commons and worked with Donatelli's, and the other vendors to ensure that everything ran smoothly. The only downside was not being able to decorate the event center the night before, so we had to decorate everything the day of making us have to buy more "hours" to open the venue earlier to get everything done before the ceremony started. I believe this was due to them having an event the night before the wedding but it was very rushed. Overall, I loved our wedding at the Commons and had many compliments about the food and venue.

suggestions along the way. We were very impressed with her knowledge of wedding coordination and greatly appreciated her prompt responses and the help that she provided, even when she was out of town on vacation. There is a list of caterers that you have to choose from and they are all great! We were very happy with the wide selection. I cannot say enough good things about the decorator (Michele from Grand Designs) in which Vadnais Heights Commons has a great relationship with. Her decorations were amazing! She decorates The Commons in a way that will take your breath away if you were to see it in person. Kathleen was the coordinator that was there during our reception, as Lorah was out of town, and she went above and beyond to make our experience as enjoyable as possible and made sure everything ran smoothly. The only suggestion we have for The Commons is to please allow the videographer to tap into the microphone system and the couple will be sure to pay the fee, if that was overlooked prior to the day of the reception. Overall, we are very pleased that we chose Vadnais Heights Commons for our wedding reception!

ng or that there were any surprises. She truly went above and beyond to make our experience wonderful! I would 100% recommend the commons for any event!

is helping the bride and groom plan out all the details. She also provided a list of possible DJs, wedding musicians, food and beverage caterers, florists, etc. She was able to give a brief recap of each venue option which was so helpful. She also offered suggestions for hotels for the guests coming in from out of town. Kristin was the coordinator at the rehearsal and the day of the wedding. She did a fabulous job making sure everything went smoothly and taking the stress off of the bride, groom and mothers. I would recommend the Commons for others looking for a wedding venue.
