Please RSVP by April 1, 2025 so that we can reserve you a special seat!

Thankfully, the guest areas of The Essence are all on one floor! All doorways are wide enough to accommodate wheelchairs and motorized scooters (within reason of course)

Yes- there is a ton! We are located right next to a parking garage and there is a lot directly in front of the venue itself.

The ceremony and reception will be completely indoors. There is a small patio located on the backside of the venue that can be accessed as much as you'd like!

Something that you don't get to wear elsewhere! Our dress code is semi-formal/formal so as long as you look your best, we could care less :).

When you RSVP there will be an option for you to list any accommodations you would prefer for meals. We want everyone to have a meal that they will enjoy so please let us know there!

Your presence at our wedding is the best gift we could ask for. If you would like to leave a gift we will have a place to display them at the venue. We also have a couple different registries linked within our website.

Ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, dance party! You will receive a more detailed program as you enter the venue.

I would recommend utilizing AirBnb’s in the area, as they are often more economical than a hotel room. However, there is a Best Western located right next to the venue. (1010 Bandana Blvd W Saint Paul, MN 55108)
