I run a professional music business and had one of my ensembles at Loews hotel for a wedding on December 23rd. Terrie was our contact and she was magnificent. She took time to talk me through the run of the day, both on the phone earlier in the week, and in person on the day. We walked through the different spaces where we would be performing, and followed through with cuing for the ceremony and letting us know when to move from cocktail hour to dinner. As a vendor coming into a venue, you want someone like Terrie on your side. No matter how events unfold on the day, her ability to communicate promptly keeps everyone in the loop. I can only imagine that as a wedding couple, you would value these same traits highly: responsible, personable, communicative, clear, friendly, and helpful.

Although we did not host our wedding itself at the Loews, we did coordinate a fairly large room block for our wedding in Minneapolis. Taylor helped us from the very start and I loved her professional demeanor and attention to detail. I had called a few other hotels in DT Minneapolis and I could barely get a call or email returned. Taylor and the Loews team really impressed us from the beginning. I highly recommend a wedding or wedding block at the Loews. It's such a gorgeous hotel and the service follows suit!

If you are looking for a truely unforgettable wedding, look no further than Loews. We worked with Carrie who helped us with every step and we could not be happier with our experience and the service we received. She was on top of her game from start to finish, responsive and made sure everything went as expected on the big night. She was very accommodating to a few unique requests and made us feel that we were the only event she was planning. The food was fantastic and every employee we encountered at Loews exhibited professionalism across the board. If we had to do this all over again, there is zero doubt in our minds that it would be at Loews.

The hotel staff and everyone was more than accommodating on my wedding weekend. Carrie Mabery handled our wedding with the utter most professionalism and I couldn’t be happier with her. This is truly the one and only hotel I’d recommend if you’re planning a wedding in minneapolis! The hotel/staff and Carrie made my entire wedding weekend stress free and made everyone feel at ease. Thanks again for everything as this was the best weekend of my life.

We used Loews for our welcome drinks event the night before the wedding-- we booked the Apothecary Lounge and covered drinks for our guests up to a certain amount. We put down $1000 and it lasted well into the night (from 7 PM to about 11 PM)! Not sure exactly how many guests were there, but it was a pretty large group! Loews was a great deal because it gave us control over how much we wanted to spend, and we had an entire section of the hotel to ourselves. Really glad we went with them for our event!

Loews Minneapolis Hotel is a hidden gem! The staff went out of their way to ensure that our day was perfect. They were organized, friendly, and helped my family feel comfortable at every point in the planning process. I would recommend the venue to anyone looking for a modern, unique reception space in Minneapolis. Not to mention –– the food is outstanding!

We were BEYOND thrilled with the entire Wedding process at Loews. Terrie B. is an incredible asset to Loews and brings an extensive amount of experience to her coordinating position. Terrie made sure no detail was left undetermined all while making sure we didn't feel the slightest bit of stress during the planning process. Our food tasting was amazing, as was every touch-point along the way. Terrie was exceptionally accommodating to every unique detail we wanted to add to our day.
Week of the wedding, Terrie was more than happy to walk our Officiant through extra details to ensure our Rehearsal went smoothly and efficiently. She also walked us through all financials to ensure we felt confident that the money we were spending was being put toward the items that were most important to us, and that we wouldn't be surprised with any final bills.
Words truly cannot express how thankful we are to have chosen Loews to host our Wedding ceremony and reception. It was the most wonderful day, and we couldn't have done it without the incredible support of Terrie and the rest of the Loews staff. We felt so special at every point in the process, and they made this once-in-a-lifetime experience beyond incredible!
I highly, HIGHLY, recommend Loews!

Plain amazing customer service. Using them for our wedding guest room block and morning after brunch for our wedding weekend. I started talking with Jeremy Keippela over 6 months ago- he has been nothing short of amazing! I highly recommend not only this hotel but his customer service. He has been in non stop communication and has bent over backwards to accommodate my *sometimes* bridezilla-ish requests. Because of my experience with him and the chain overall I will stay at Loews again and again wherever I am! Highly recommend

I worked with Jeremy prior to this hotel being purchased by the Loews to reserve my block. There was no issue once the hotel had come under new management and ownership, and our guests received a great rate with wonderful service.
The hotel accommodated me as my bridesmaids and I got ready, and moved my items to my suite for my wedding night.
BIG shout out to the management for lots of lost and found items wrangled after a VERY fun night had by many :)
Especially if you have out of town guests, this hotel is smack in the middle of Minneapolis, walkable to anything in the city, and just gorgeous.

We are so happy that we chose Loews Minneapolis for our wedding reception venue. The staff (from our event manager on down to valet) was incredibly attentive and helpful from start to finish. If you're looking for a venue in the city to show out-of-towners the best of MPLS, look no further. From the start, the room rates offered through the block were better than some of the non-luxury properties downtown (surprised the heck out of me, honestly!). Also, the location near the light rail was super helpful for our guests that wanted to avoid car rental (get to the airport and MOA!). The actual reception? Fantastic! Food was spectacular. Our guests loved it. Now, for what every bride & groom think about: price! When we received our final invoice gotta admit, pleasantly surprised. Elated, even. The other thing--the ballroom looks a bit different than the current picture. A beautifully sleek modern design has replaced the glass installation. That being said, if you're looking for a modern elegant vibe, you don't need to do much to this new space. Where that blue might have clashed with the wrong wedding colors, the new look is a lot more neutral (save on that decor budget!). One thing to consider with this hotel 1: if there's a major event the night of your wedding (as was in our case), plan ahead for guest parking and definitely use a shuttle (we shuttled our OOT guests, in hindsight I would have coordinated for our in-town guests to shuttle too). Second thing about events--on busy downtown weekends it also plays a role in photography options (an outdoor first look was pretty much a no for all the people, BUT thank you Loews for allowing us to use Chambers!)
All in all, if I had to do it again I would definitely do it at Loews Minneapolis!

Terrie Bulanek and the staff at the Graves 601 Hotel are incredible. They were so helpful and thoughtful on every single detail. Although the cost of a meal at the Graves for a reception may be higher than other locations this venue is worth every single penny. They will wait on you hand and foot and will make sure you are wowed when you enter that ballroom. On top of that the space is so beautiful you do not need to spend thousands on decorations or centerpieces. The artwort installations do all of the work for you. The food is amazing as well. Terrie and her team saw my vision and made it even better than I thought. On top of that they always made sure I had a drink in my hand (if I wanted it) and followed up a few times during the night (at appropriate times mind you) to make sure everything was as I wanted it to. I received so many compliments from family and friends about the hotel and their service. I would pick the Graves over and over again! During planning my husband did not want to go with the Graves because of cost. By the time we sat down for dinner he had thanked me several times for picking the Graves because he was so blown away by everything!!

We received so many compliments on the staff at the Graves--they were extremely helpful to the guests and easy for us to work with (even from our home on the east coast). The venue is also beautiful and doesn't have the typically hotel ballroom feel. We had a great experience here.

Graves was the perfect location for our wedding as we had all out of town guests and a Sunday brunch so everyone could stay in the same location as all the weekend events. We thought everyone was slightly overpriced and were a little disappointed they were not open to certain negotiations based on the number of guest rooms we have for 2+ nights, a wedding ceremony, reception and Sunday brunch all at their location. I would recommend them to anyone but also warn of the steep prices for everything from a gallon of coffee for the bridesmaids and a TV for the kids room.

This place is incredibly costly, but I always dreamed about my wedding day and Grave's delivered the wedding of my dreams and even more! The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was fun, the bridal suite was AMAZING, and the service was flawless. It was everything I had hoped for and more.

Every single person we encountered at the Graves 601 was wonderful, helpful, and went out of their way to be sure we had a great wedding weekend. The one exception to this was our hotel wedding coordinator contact. She was difficult to work with and seemed to have a somewhat sour attitude. However, everything went wonderfully once I asked for more involvement from a different team at the hotel, as they jumped in and took care of all of the problems we were experiencing. The hotel was beautiful and a more unique setting than most of the hotels we looked at. Truly, everyone else we encountered at the Graves was fantastic, kind, and went over and above their responsibilities to help us. I'd highly recommend them with the caveat that it's important to advocate for yourself if you're dissatisfied with the hotel contact.

Beautiful venue. Contemporary and modern. All of our guests were so impressed with the decor. The food was outstanding! I was nervous about serving beef tenderloin because everyone has their own preference for cooking style, but it was so delicious. One of the best tenderloins I have ever had.

Our ceremony and reception were in the Graves 601 Ballroom and my husband and I both rave that it was the best day of our lives, mainly because it was so easy and stress free. Our wedding coordinator at the hotel and the rest of the staff were more amazing to work with than words can say. Our food was stellar and they catered to our every need!

My husband and I actually stayed here for 2 nights of our honeymoon and we loved it!! The hotel is very clean, cutting edge and the staff is incredibly friendly! The bathrooms are great and have glass rain showers! We actually were woken up one night to our "neighbors" having a party in the room next door to us, so my husband called the front desk and they had someone knocking at their door in less than 2 minutes! And then we woke up the next morning with an envelope under our door and they staff had comp'd us all of our room service that we had ordered during our stay (about $100)! We are definitly going to be going back to the Graves!! Truly great service!

We stayed, along with our guests, at the Graves Hotel. Overall, the rooms were very nice, but some of the front desk employees were not. I don't know that I would recommend this as an accommodation for wedding guests. They did not provide a shuttle like other hotels and the customer service was hit or miss.

I absolutely loved the venue; the staff was flexible with letting me set up early, the food was delicious, and the interior decor was exactly what I was looking for. The only thing that bothered me about the Graves hotel was the late check-in time (which I was not aware of ahead of time). Most of my guests, including my wedding party and family members, were not able to check in until AFTER the wedding ceremoy because to rooms were not ready until after the wedding started... Which was 4PM!! Hopefully they will hire more cleaning staff for the weekends moving forward. Thankfully, when there were any complaints submitted, the Graves honored a free night stay for those guests to come back.. Which my cousin has already used and said he had a great time.

Beautiful venue, great service by all the waitstaff during the reception. I wasn't as impressed by my contact during the planning process, as she wasn't particularly proactive. I always had to ask about obvious things (like when the florist should come in) which she should have anticipated I would ask since they do a lot of weddings. Also, they forgot to print our menus, and my contact said they didn't do it because I didn't ask for them, even though menus were part of the wedding package.
