Venue Details

The venue is called Le VENERÉ. Address for both ceremony and the reception (indoors): 413 Wacouta St, St. Paul MN 55101 This location near the heart of downtown Saint Paul. The venue is a blend of old-world sophistication of bespoke 1920’s France with the mystery and intrigue of a speakeasy. It’s advertised as an experiential venue like no other.

Drinks and Food

Buffet Style; Strawberry salad Chicken Marsala Steak with chimichurri Mashed potatoes Penne Alfredo Green beans and carrots Dinner roll Assorted cupcakes for dessert There will be an open bar for a few select hours.

Kids

Take a date night for yourselves! We love our family and the children who are in it, unfortunately we will not be able to accommodate them for our day other than for those who are in the wedding. We understand this may determine whether or not you can attend and truly understand. Thank you for respecting our choice.

Can I Bring a Guest

Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate additional guests, we can only accommodate those formally invited on your wedding invitation. Your invitation will be addressed as [Your name] + [Guest/plus on] if a plus one was given to you. We are truly filling the space with all of our loved ones, so space is limited.

Photos During the Ceremony

We would like to have an unplugged ceremony. Guests will be directed when they are able to take photos (so don't worry). We want our photographers to be able to capture our moment. We will make sure to share pictures and there is also a photobooth available!

RSVP's Due

To help us with our planning, we ask that you kindly RSVP by March 20th, 2025. If we do not receive your RSVP by this time, we cannot make any exceptions and will have to mark you as 'no'. We need to provide the venue with a total guest count in a timely manner, we hope you can understand.

The Night Before

We will plan to have a small get together at the Radisson Downtown Saint Paul hotel bar area the night before, starting around 6:30pm. Drinks and food should be available for purchase there. Some people may choose to relocate later into the evening to a local bar.
