Overall, we had a fantastic experience with Warehouse Winery! We would definitely recommend it to anyone considering wedding venues in the Twin Cities. Our wedding was in August of 2019, and we couldn’t have asked for things to go much better t...han they did.
As far as settings go, Warehouse Winery is a gorgeous space. The funky, eclectic decor and dim lighting of the candelabras set just the tone we were going for with our wedding decor. The event space was the perfect size for our group of just over 100 guests, and it felt like it could accommodate a good deal more without getting crowded. Our guests particularly enjoyed the numerous alcoves with couches and lounge chairs where they could break off and enjoy some space away from the main crowd of people, not to mention the outdoor space. The chairs and venue were set up without any issue, and everything was ready to go when we got there.
Catering was a breeze. We used an outside vendor for dinner (Brasa) and dessert (Angel Food Bakery), and the meal service went perfectly. We served buffet-style, and the venue is ideally set up to accommodate this with lines down both sides of the service area. The warehouse staff worked well with our catering staff, and the room flip went by without issue or disruption.
As for drinks, we used the in-house catering company for bartending (Sterling), and they did a great job of ensuring that everyone was well taken care of. We served three Warehouse wines, and several of our guests remarked about how much they enjoyed them.
Finally, I can’t finish this review without a word about the Warehouse Winery staff. When we started out with Warehouse Winery, we were working with Amy, but Amy left and was replaced with Breanna a few months after we chose Warehouse as our venue. Since we had initially found that we had a good rapport with Amy, we were a bit hesitant when we found out that they had switched coordinators, but Breanna showed herself to be just as deserving of the trust and confidence we had placed in Amy. Through endless back-and-forth emails about mundane details to long wine tastings and day-of wrangling, Breanna worked tirelessly to make sure that every detail was covered and that our event went off without a hitch! She was responsive, friendly, and patient, and we couldn't have done it without her help!
If you’re considering Warehouse Winery for your wedding, I can’t recommend it more! We considered quite a few options in Minneapolis/St. Paul, but Warehouse Winery was far and away the best choice available, and we're very pleased that we chose it.
Just a note: we rented port-a-potties, expecting that our guest count would overwhelm the two bathrooms. As it turns out, we didn’t need them, but you might want to consider additional toilets if your crowd is much bigger than ours (about 100 people).
