Weddings at Chanhassen Dinner Theatres

te being told they would put more out, they never did. The food was very good but came much slower than ideal to keep the flow going. The theater room for the dance was a fun space but the DJ was not easy to work with. He never played music that was requested by the bride and groom (prior to the wedding) and played many, many songs that they specifically asked him NOT to play. There was no transition from quieter, older generation music- just straight to “club” music which was fun but too much at times. No slower songs ever! But the fact the bride and groom asked him multiple times to do certain things and he didn’t was very frustrating and disappointing!

rce and incredibly experienced, and really put us at ease leading up to the big day, going through our walkthroughs, and of course during the wedding. We knew immediately that we could trust him with one of the most memorable days of our lives. The venue itself is beautiful. We elected to use the Club Theatre with our small guest count, which really wowed our family and friends. Their packages to select from are thoroughly laid out, and Daniel was great help with explaining what our wedding size and day-of events would realistically need. Not only was Daniel outstanding in his position and the Dinner Theatre fabulous to experience, but he went above and beyond during our day. The level of compassion he had for us during an unexpected turn and fortitude to help the night move along smoothly was so incredibly appeciated -- along with Chris and the other amazing waitstaff that helped keep everything together and flawless. I am so glad we chose the Chanhassen Dinner Theatres. Our needs were entirely catered to.

friendly venue. We were always treated with respect and dignity, which was highly important for us when we were booking a venue. Additionally, everyone involved in planning was deeply knowledgeable and gave great advice, from food quantities to which package we needed to scheduling. Our ceremony space (Club Theatre) worked well for in-person guests and for live-streaming (through our videographer). We worked with two amazing wedding coordinators there, Robyn and Daniel (who took over from Robyn this past fall). CDT worked with us to make sure the transition was smooth and that our plans were not disrupted. Daniel is an absolute gem and superhero. He helped with some last minute changes and was a lifesaver when we had complications with our officiant. Daniel also constantly checked in with us during the day and made sure everything was running smoothly so we could focus on ourselves and our guests. The food was absolutely delicious. Our meals were divine (Oven-Roasted Salmon, Chicken Chanhassen, and Vegetarian Lasagna) and our vegan guests even commented that it was some of the best vegan options they’ve ever had at an event. They worked with us closely with all diet restrictions and everything was fantastic. The cake (through Buttercream Bakery) was marvelous. If you book CDT, we definitely recommend working with their recommended/provided DJ. Tim from Minnesota Wedding Party was incredible and knows the venue inside and out. He showed our photographer some hidden places to take bridal photos and was just plain an awesome DJ. I can’t imagine our night without Tim. Some things to keep in mind if you are considering CDT: It is a fully-operational dinner theatre, so, more than likely, there will be a show on your wedding day. If you are in the Ballroom, you are right underneath the main stage, so they will ask you not to get too rowdy during dinner. However, you can be super noisy and rowdy during your dance, once you move to your dance area. We had our dance in the Club Theatre, which worked really well for our guests. Also, if you have any guests that use wheelchairs or have mobility concerns, know that ramps lead to the Club Theatre and Ballroom spaces, but not the Dance Loft. The ramps are a bit steep, so they can be a bit challenging to roll back up, depending on the person. The staff at CDT was super accommodating for us, and helped us find a solution for helping a guest back up to the main level. The bathrooms in the Ballroom could also be wider, as it was challenging for one of our wheelchair-using guests to navigate the bathroom. With all that said, we would, without a doubt, recommend Chanhassen Dinner Theatres to anyone for their wedding (or other event). We felt cared about and respected and our day felt truly magical there. We can’t wait to keep supporting them through their live theatre and shows and to be transported back to our beautiful wedding day every chance that we get.

asy to work with moving our date out and was very accommodating. Robyn was great at answering our questions, helping us understand what was needed from our end, and executing on the day of the wedding. She was very easy to work with and very knowledgable. Her communication was great and we really enjoyed working with her! The venue's food was also amazing,! Lots of the time wedding food can be very mediocre, but not the case here, CDT's food was delicious! Their staff was great and helpful. We also felt the price was very reasonable and included a lot for budget minded folks like us. I would highly recommend CDT to anyone looking for an excellent wedding venue with great people!

at they did weddings, the decision had already been made. It was the only venue we needed to see (and I didn't even need to see it to know it was the one)! We decided to do everything inside as it was all in one place. Getting married on the Club Theater stage was everything this Broadway Musical themed wedding needed and more! Their all inclusive packages took a lot of the weight off of our shoulders so that we could just enjoy our time being engaged and focus on our decorations! The food was scrumptious and the chef accommodated all the weird allergies that my friends and family had. Robyn made everything so easy and was super invested in our planning process, making sure that everything was done exactly how we envisioned it! Because of Covid, we had to postpone our large celebration and she was so understanding and incredibly flexible. We loved her from the very first time we met her and knew we would really enjoy working with her. She answered my millions of questions almost as soon as I would send them and was so enthusiastic about our day. You could tell that she really loved her job and even more so enjoyed taking the time to get to know the couples! When we were there setting up, she was always available for questions or assistance which made it go fast and smooth! I can't express enough how thankful we were for Robyn, for making our day so beyond special!

nything! It was such a relief because dealing with the wedding party was like keeping kittens in a box haha but she did it and she did it well!!! The venue space was so gorgeous that we didn't even need to decorate. Buttercream bakery made a delicious tiered cake for us and our wedding singer was so much fun!!! Chanhassen Dinner Theater's wedding package was everything we had hoped for and more!!!

stopped at nothing to make sure our day was nothing short of perfect. We could not have asked for a better experience.

ere wonderful leading up to the day and the day of the wedding. Our guests loved the food, the atmosphere, and the music videos that played during the dance. I would suggest to anyone getting married to check out Chanhassen Dinner Theater as their wedding venue!

re planning process so smooth and easy. She was very attentive and responsive with any questions I had throughout my entire engagement and really eased my nerves. I tend to be a worrier but she assured me that everything would go without a hitch and it did. She was also very attentive throughout the big day and made sure my husband and I always were satisfied and had anything we needed. The all-inclusive wedding package is the way to go- it wraps up so many details/ vendors into one contract, making the wedding planning WAY more simplified and easy. You also get the liberty of having access to the venue days prior to the wedding and can decorate it to your liking, which was just what we wanted so we could add all of our own personal decorative details for our Halloween-themed wedding. The ambiance is more dark, jazzy, and romantic. The space looked amazing with the event up-lighting included, which is customizable to whatever colors you prefer which is so cool! The food was also incredible and all of our guests complimented it. I can't say enough good things about the Chanhassen Dinner Theater! Many of our guests said it was the coolest wedding venue they've gone to. It was really fun and unique to get married on stage, and also dance in the club theater for the reception. If you want something different with a little more character than your basic ballroom or barn wedding, this is an amazing choice! Thank you CDT!

ges were great! Made the planning so much easier! We also added a rehearsal dinner which was this Italian buffet. It was so great and we received so many compliments on the food. Highly recommend this venue. We had a 1920s theme and it was a perfect space. I cannot wait to see the pictures. We also rescheduled a million times due to COVID and Robyn was very accommodating. Oh and the bartender, Eric! Not sure if you read these, but you were awesome!! Thanks for being understanding about the party animals! lol Thanks again everyone at CDT!!!! We are still talking about our day :)

ff Creek Golf course and they did all the set up (minus decorations), and take down. We chose the club theatre which is multilevel and has a stage. We felt like stars in our own little world. Our guests raved about the food. Robyn is incredibly sweet and was available to answer any questions or concerns we had, plus made sure our day went as smooth as possible. Definitely recommend this venue!

ply unbeatable and takes so much stress out of planning because you don’t need to coordinate with multiple vendors! Can’t recommend enough

or, she felt like a friend we've known forever and was so quick to respond to any questions we had. We also liked the space at the golf club that the Dinner Theatre organized for an outdoor ceremony, and the fact that we would have a backup at the theatre in case of bad weather. We were really envisioning a great experience for the wedding and celebration at the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre, so when the Corona Virus hit and made us reevaluate our plans we were extremely disappointed. We wanted to switch to just a small backyard wedding and I was anxious about whether the CDT would argue about us asking to cancel our contract. Instead, the CDT and Robyn responded with empathy and understanding and let us receive our deposit back without hassle and with their good wishes. Outstanding. So I am happy to report that although our original plans were not able to go ahead our experience with the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre and specifically with Robyn remained extremely positive to the end! I would recommend this venue without reservation to anyone getting married or having a special event!

itement was infectious. The package was unbeatable and we never felt pressured into anything. We choose them immediately and we could not have been more impressed. From the tasting to the wedding, it was the best experience. Robyn and Genevieve were attentive and fun and were there to make sure it was all perfect. Not to mention the food...YUM, was also fantastic. Our guests raved about the venue and the service and the food! We are so grateful!

s free experience. Robyn, Genevieve, and our DJ Jeff went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I were happy all night. It also meant a lot to me how much they made sure our immediate family was taken care of and had a great time. All of our guests commented on how great the food was, how unique and beautiful the venue is, and the convience of the location. After the wedding there continued to be nothing but great responses from family and friends. Do not hesitate if you're consider this venue for your big day. I cannot thank the team enough for making our day the best day ever!

pictures to the dinner, the reception and the dance they kept in touch with the Bride and Groom and Parents making sure we had everything we needed and all was going well. What a great day! THANK YOU ROBYN

he bakery is wonderful. We chose the cupcakes and they were a hit. You're not getting anything low quality in the bundle. Their aim is to make sure you're well taken care of on your wedding day by making sure you're connected to the best of the best. I can't speak more highly of the dj. The songs he picked we're perfectly danceable for all the generations represented at the reception. He made sure everything kept flowing through the dinner portion of the reception and even helped one of our guests to their car. We keep talking about the day of too. We really felt like we just had to show up. They let us do a lot of decorating the night before so we just had to do the theater for the ceremony and little touches. Genevieve was with us on our wedding day and she was great. She had everything handled and you can tell the staff there are pros so it was nice walking into a calm atmosphere. She was sensitive to our needs and family dynamics. A lot of our guests commented on the cozy atmosphere of the venue and how beautiful the stage looked where we were married. The food was phenomenal. The appetizers were great and so were the latenight snacks. We've had some time to reflect on our wedding day and the whole process and we loved our wedding and feel like it was perfect for us and the biggest reason for that is because we chose to be married at the Chanhassen Dinner Theaters. If you're thinking about it, I'd recommend doing it. They made sure our wedding day was perfect, so I know they will make yours perfect too.

my husband and I were able to enjoy ourselves the whole day. Having an all-inclusive package was immensely helpful in the planning and execution process. We never felt like we had to worry about details. Robyn made us feel very secure throughout the planning process and her and the workers at the chanhassen were tremendously supportive, friendly, and helpful. We really felt like we were taken care of, pampered, and respected. From the amazing venue, to the extremely delicious food, to the awesome desserts and DJ service, every service was outstanding and of the highest quality. Our day could not have been more perfect, and that is a large thank you to Chanhassen Dinner Theaters wedding team! I highly recommend choosing this venue, and I promise they will stop at no ends to make sure your wedding day is the most special day.

en, where, how many guests, cake, reception, entertainment, decorations, invitations, catering...$$$$. We decided to start with the wedding fair and looked at all the options out there not having any idea as to what she wanted to do. We walked past a few places and started to get overwhelmed. As we walked down an aisle we noticed out of the corner of our eyes Chanhassen Dinner Theatre. Huh??? I never knew they did weddings?? We went over and inquired and met a very friendly representative named Robyn Anderson (little did we know that she would end up being part of our family by the end of everything) We called and set up appointment and did a walk through at the venue. We were greeted by Robyn Anderson :) We had a welcome feeling instantly, we couldn’t believe how beautiful of a venue, the romantic lighting, and intimate surroundings. We sat down and went through everything with her. She didn’t make us feel rushed, she explained all the details and left nothing unanswered. We couldn’t believe what ease and ideas we had when we left. The package options – Things we hadn’t even about: indoor or outdoor wedding, catering, they collaborate with Buttercream Cake; they also have a photo booth for entertainment and DJ and you can even host the Grooms dinner. Everything all wrapped up and all-inclusive for reasonable rates. Our daughter decided without any hesitation to have her entire wedding celebration at Chanhassen Dinner Theatre on October 12th 2019. We give it 5 stars. On the day of the wedding we were greeted by Robyn & Genevieve Myran another organizer. These two ladies did an outstanding job. They helped to make my daughters day extra special. We had so much fun and got to enjoy the event. They made our guests feel welcome and facilitated everything professionally. I would recommend having your special day at Chanhassen Dinner Theatre and know that you will be in good hands with a memory you will never forget. Thank you Robyn, Genevieve & The Chanhassen Dinner Theatre

nized, and all around incredible, as was everyone we encountered. Communication was incredibly quick and the all inclusive package was the perfect option for us as we could have everything taken care of through just a few people. There are plenty of spaces to capture cool photography shots and the venue was perfect for us as we wanted something a little "different". Both our dinner and cake were huge hits- Buttercream Bakery (the partner included in the package) knocked it out of the park- highly recommend the chocolate cake with truffle fudge and baileys cream ;). The servers are highly experienced and ran like a well-oiled machine, we are still getting compliments on the food and hospitality of the staff. You will NOT regret booking with them, we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

or each of my guests including special dinner orders prepared for certain guests. I couldn't have asked for a better day and I can say these girls will genuinely care to make sure you have the most magical event you could ever ask for. I would trust them both with absolutely anything. They exceeded expectations from the moment we had met them! If you need a venue that will make your day special and as stress free as possible this is the place and Robyn and Genevieve are your girls. Because of these girls, we will have the best memories to look back on forever!

re flawless. The DJ Tim was also amazing. He was right there with Robyn making sure everything was perfect. If even one thing was slightly off they were both right there fixing it instantly before anyone even noticed. Everyone commented how beautiful the wedding was and that everything was perfect and it really was. We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding experience than what we got at the Chanhassen Dinner theatre. Thank you!
