Joey & Genevievre: When a reception is about more than the venue

February 10, 2020 By Minneapolis Club Staff

Weddings and receptions at the Minneapolis Club combine exceptional service and creative cuisine in an elegant setting for the perfect day. More than anything, we’re proud of the memories we help create. This is just one.

A great wedding reception is about more than where you host it. You should be able to appreciate the polish without stressing the details; you should be able to see the effort without seeing the strings. Genevievre Broche and Joseph Colianni learned that when they held their wedding reception on November 2, 2019, complete with white-glove presentation and a menu selection from Chef Håkan himself. Here’s what Suzie Colianni had to say about planning and holding the reception at the Minneapolis Club.

There are many choices that are made when planning a wedding. We couldn’t be happier that we chose the Minneapolis Club as the venue for Joey and Genevievre’s reception.

The Club handled everything with ease and grace. The guests staying in the hotel rooms were welcomed and made comfortable. We are so lucky at the Club to have such a personable and accommodating chef in Chef Håkan. We received many compliments from our guests about the Club and the delicious food. The white glove presentation of the entrees and the friendly servers were just perfect. Our expectations working with the Club staff were exceeded in every way. We can’t say enough about how wonderful it was to have a wedding at the Minneapolis Club!

– Suzie Colianni, 2019

“We wouldn’t change a thing”: A Minneapolis Club wedding reception story

January 7, 2020 By Minneapolis Club Staff

Matt and Maggie Thompson at their wedding reception at the Minneapolis Club in 2019

Weddings and receptions at the Minneapolis Club combine exceptional service and creative cuisine in an elegant setting for the perfect day. More than anything, we’re proud of the memories we help create. Here’s one couple’s look back at their Minneapolis Club wedding experience – in their own words.

Matt and Maggie Thompson (née Craven) were married on October 12, 2019, at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Minneapolis. At their reception at the Minneapolis Club, 287 of their closest friends and loved ones joined them to celebrate the start of their journey as husband and wife. At the end of 2019, we asked Maggie to share her thoughts about their experience at the Club.

We could not have chosen a better venue for our wedding reception than the Minneapolis Club. From our first meeting with Jodie through the morning after our wedding, the Club staff was kind, generous and incredibly organized. Our guests raved about the food, the staff and the venue. It was a lovely perk and very convenient to stay in one of the Club’s guest rooms the night of our wedding and to have our family and grandparents stay there as well. If we could do it all over again, we wouldn’t change a thing about our experience with the Minneapolis Club! And being a member, it’s special to visit the club now and reminisce about our wedding day.

– Maggie Thompson (née Craven), 2019
