The Figge Art Museum

Such a beautiful space and the flow from inside outdoors to the terrace gave it a spacious and expansive feel. And the view of the Mississippi River is so unique. Staff was incredibly welcoming and professional. Everything was executed flawlessly. The catering was delicious and our guests raved about everything. Perfect evening- five stars!!!

The Figge is a beautiful rental space. When I looked into renting, I read many mixed reviews about experiences and they seemed to be tied to museum event staff at the time. I found this to be very true and in my case, unfortunately, my experience was negative. The day of my wedding was perfect, but attempting to confirm details or get answers from the staff prior to my wedding was like pulling teeth. At one point, I had to call the company the Figge contracts with and ask if my point of contact still worked there because it had been months that I'd been attempting to reach her. There was no honest attempt at righting the lack of communication, nor did I receive an apology or explanation as to why I hadn't heard from anyone. I was shocked by the lack of follow through during my experience too. For example, early on in the process, I met with three of our wedding vendors in one day. The Figge was our first meeting, and I had several follow up questions and was promised an email with the information I'd been requesting. Then we went to our second vendor, who finalized details and emailed us information and confirmation details within an hour. The third was our floral and decor vendor. They sent us an itemized contract and quote within two hours of our visit. I didn't receive anything from the Figge by the end of the day, but figured it was fair to give them a week to reply. So I did. And I waited another week. After two weeks, I started reaching out asking for the answers to my questions via email and voicemails. I had to chase down the information I was looking for, ultimately receiving it from my contact's supervisor months later because I wasn't getting responses to my outreach. The most frustrating part was the supervisor gave me 75% of the answers right away on the phone and 25% by email within 45 minutes of our phone call, solidifying my belief that I wasn't asking hard questions! I also signed my rental contract over a year in advance, yet received an "updated" contract SIX days before my wedding that was thousands of dollars higher than the original. If you are a bride reading this review, you can understand how stressful that can be to have such a burden added to your plate the week of your wedding. Again, the response we received to our concerns was not customer service oriented. Instead, the staff acted the surprised we were upset with the bill because, in her words, "the contract is just a suggestion." What?! I would not recommend contracting with the Figge. Don't settle for anything less than 5 star service for your big day.

Excellent venue for a wedding reception. The space is beautiful with multiple rooms (bar, cafe, grand ballroom, patio), the catering was excellent, the staff wonderful to work with, and set-up just as planned. There is plenty of parking in the area, and the space lends itself to flexibility. Five stars for sure.

Exceptional! The customer service is wonderful. The food was amazing. And this place is very beautiful! Couldn't have asked for a better location for my Wedding Reception. Highly recommended!
