Wonderful beautiful hotel! Very upscale and Nancy Jacobson our event manager was amazing from beginning to end! She made sure everything was taken care of for our dream wedding reception! Beautiful spacious suite and all hotel staff went above...

and beyond!

I truly believe everything happens for a reason, and we are so thankful to have worked with Nancy. Our original coordinator left at the end of July, and we started working with Nancy in August. This could have been disastrous in any other situa...

tion, but transitioning to Nancy was a gift. She had all of the communication pieces from the old coordinator and was able to work with all of our outside vendors. She was available anytime we had questions, whether it was via email or in person. She even stayed at our wedding until the end to ensure everything went smoothly, and we had a 12 hour day! It's important to note that the hotel staff are union, meaning anything brought in from the outside has to be set up by the outside company. We didn't have any problem with this, despite having over 8 different vendors for various things (chairs, flowers, tablecloths, food, etc). We would not have been able to pull off our big day without Nancy. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

We held our wedding reception for 150 people at the Radisson Blu - it was absolutely wonderful. The space is great, but the guest services were spectacular! Nancy helped us set up our decor the day of, and the hotel staff helped us clean up the...

We couldn’t be happier to have our wedding at the Radisson Blu downtown Minneapolis. Nancy is a great addition to their team and was wonderful to work with. Our wedding was beautiful and they did a great job overall. Nancy was very professional...

and was able to answer emails and questions very quickly. The night of the wedding their team members were very helpful and did an amazing job following up with guests and the bridal party. This was our second wedding at the Radisson Blu. My sister had her venue here 5 years ago. They did a great job at my sister’s wedding and our experience was even better the second time. I would highly recommended having your wedding here. It was very elegant and they were willing to help accommodate you and the guests without question.

If you are thinking about this venue for your wedding, I would reconsider. We had nothing but issue after issue with the Radisson Blu for our wedding venue. We started out working with Gina and after over a year of working with her, we received...

an email stating she is no longer working with the Radisson. Not only did all of the information that we had covered have to get thrown into someone else's hands but the communication was very poor and I felt I had to reiterate what I wanted for our wedding. The day approached and there was no available staff for any questions, we had a extremely rude bartender which caused my guests to have to leave the third floor and go to the first floor bar, the room keys only go to the designated floor which is challenging and not accommodating for guests who would like to go to other rooms, we had random strangers walking the third floor during our reception, and they charged my card an over-abundance of money without an receipt or authorization from me because of the sales managers mistake. I was very disappointed and it is such a shame because the venue and the hotel is very nice and the dinner was great but these little details caused such an inconvenience and we ended up having to pay way more money than anticipated.

Honestly, I didn't want to pick the Radisson at first because the reception room wasn't the prettiest. However, after I sampled the food and met the staff Tracy and John, I knew I had to have or wedding reception here! I ordered some extra co...

lored lighting and ceiling drapery and my reception was gorgeous!!! I loved the accomodations at the Radisson because it was walking distance to Target Field and plenty of shopping. Our garage parking was comped, the bar/restaurant in the lobby was good and almost always open. I loved the little details at the Radisson like, serving homemade ice cream in a chocolate waffle cone with your cake!! They were also very flexible in working to keep our alloted budget! They even dropped their room rates for out guests. I want to do it all over again that's how amazing my experience was!

We had our guests stay at the Radisson downtown and it was great! We had gift bags for all the guests and the front desk gave them out upon arrival. There were no complaints and everything they did was great! Very happy

The crew at the Radisson really made our wedding reception all we could have possibly dreamed of. I got SO MANY compliments on the food, the space and the service. Everything was honestly beautiful and amazing. I heard a few of my friends ta...

I wasn't sure if I would like the green walls during the reception, but with the lights lower you couldn't even tell and it was really, really magical. They ALL did a great job and took care of all of our needs. I didn't need to worry about anything and it wasn't as expensive as other places I looked.
