The Saint Paul Hotel

My wife and I stayed at The Saint Paul Hotel for our wedding this past weekend and let me tell you, we have nothing but great things to say. Setting up our wedding block was a breeze. Even though there was a major concert going on the same weekend they worked with us to make sure we had enough rooms available, and that the block was open as long as possible. Before we even got to the hotel we knew we were going to have a lot of logistics for them to handle. We were getting married at a different location and had a ton of supplies in our wedding party’s cars that were going to have to come up to our room and then make it to vehicles and then the venue. From the moment we arrived the concierge team was exceptionally helpful as well as polite. We had a suite reserved for our wedding weekend. I had called ahead and found out that day of they have discounted upgrade rates for higher levels of rooms if they are available. We were in luck at check in when we found out the Ordway Suite was available for our stay. Between our wedding rate and the less expensive upgrade charge we barely paid half of the regular rate for that suite. Having a dining room, a living room, a wet bar, and two bathrooms was fantastic for us to host our wedding party coming and going as well as anyone who got there too early to check in. Back to the concierge. The number of times we ran cart loads of stuff between our cars and the top floor of the hotel as well as vice versa probably should have counted for running a marathon. Not only did the folks helping us never once make us feel like a burden, they asked if they could get things from our cars for us when we did not actually need our cars. They were so helpful and patient with us the entire weekend. I can’t speak highly enough of that entire team. They have a first come first serve courtesy shuttle that can take you around the downtown area. We were able to utilize this shuttle for our rehearsal which was easy and convenient. For our wedding we were able to book a 3 hour dedicated shuttle for getting our guests to the venue and a 3 hour dedicated shuttle to get our guests back from the wedding. They made our day of logistics a breeze. Not having to worry about anyone driving after a night of drinking and partying really gave us a peace of mind. The food and drink at the hotel were also a bright spot. The room service was better than we expected it to be and a fair price for being room service. We had a lovely breakfast down at The Drake one morning. Mikey with the dining group also helped us set up a brunch for a large gathering of our wedding guests the morning after which everyone was very happy with. The Saint Paul Grill got rave reviews from several of our guests as did the lobby bar. I was personally impressed with the selection at the bar in the Saint Paul Grill. The bartender was extremely knowledgeable and was able to recommend some truly unique bourbons my cousin and I had not seen before. Last but most certainly not least is the location. The convenience of being right downtown was great. We were able to walk right across the street to our rehearsal dinner at Meritage. Not to mention the views from our room overlooking the river with the fall colors was just fantastic. All I can say is if you are looking for the highest quality service with folks who go the extra mile, look no further than The Saint Paul Hotel. You will not be disappointed.

My wife and I went through The St Paul Hotel for our small wedding (just 25 people), and The St Paul Hotel delivered with fantastic staff, a lovely space, and tremendous food. As someone who has tough dietary restrictions it was a godsend for them to say "No problem," and give us menu options that worked within my restrictions. Our point of contact even stopped by with my favorite cocktail, even though we didn't book bar service. If we had to plan it again we would change nothing.

In September, my wife and I hosted 70 guests who attended our son and his fiancee's Prenuptial Welcome Dinner held at the Saint Paul Hotel. We live in Wisconsin and lacked knowledge about the Saint Paul area. Once we learned about the Saint Paul Hotel, we thought it would be an excellent venue to host our special event. Our initial email and phone communications with Tyler Paape went exceptionally well. He provided his expertise and counsel every step of the way, culminating with the actual execution of the event. Tyler provided numerous suggestions on how to make the night a unique experience for the betrothed couple and guests coming from across the country as well as those traveling from abroad. He and his team over-delivered towards meeting our expectations. A month later guests are still talking about how wonderful the event was including the hotel, its staff, decorations and food items. In summary, Tyler demonstrates outstanding client services skills with a strong focus on the customer that helps in the planning and execution of a lifetime memorable party and experience. He routinely practices integrity and trust while exhibiting strong business acumen on a regular basis. Tyler is an asset to the Saint Paul Hotel and is the consummate Catering and Sales Manager. We highly recommend Tyler Paape and the Saint Paul Hotel and truly look forward to a future opportunity to partner with them!

We had our wedding at the hotel last month and it was a dream! We worked with Tyler during the entire process and we have so many wonderful things to say about Tyler. He is very professional, organized, and responsive. I feel like he really cared about us. I had so many questions while planning the wedding and Tyler was very patient with us. The hotel is beautiful and the food was delicious. We received so many compliments from our guests on the venue and food. Choosing the hotel and working with Tyler was the best decision we made! Tyler - Thank you for everything! We had a wonderful experience working with you!
