Minneapolis Golf Club

Recently we got to photograph a wedding at the Minneapolis Golf Club, the name is deceiving as it is not in Minneapolis but in St Louis Park and I must say this is a hidden gem! If you are looking for a beautiful location in the west metro check it out!

We got married on 10/21 and used Minneapolis Golf Club for our reception and I'm SO glad we did! MGC is affordable and Nancy was a joy to work with! She really knows her stuff, responds to you in less than 24 hours for ANY and ALL questions (and I had a lot!) and made me feel confident about our choices. When we did our final walkthrough, the ball room was already setup so we got to see it and Nancy was able to give us suggestions on layout/seating due to her knowledge and experience. We had about 180 people and the space was big enough to not make it feel too crowded but it also wasn't too big. Their food was great and our guests kept raving about it. I highly recommend checking out MGC for your wedding, you won't regret it!

I have to give a RAVE REVIEW to the Minneapolis Golf Club, Nancy Johnson and her entire staff for executing the wedding of my daughters dreams on Saturday 10/14/23! The venue is beautiful and the ceremony and then reception flip was flawless! As with any large wedding, emotions are high and so is the stress. As we tried to coordinate family photos I didn't convey the right information to our photographer and there was some confusion about where photos could take place. The ultimate result was that Nancy Johnson accompanied our families to the member area as an exception to the rules, and made sure we could get the pictures we wanted. The food was fantastic, the service above and beyond, and the party was a great success. I would highly recommend the Minneapolis Golf Club to any future brides who are lucky enough to hire them! Thank you so much!! Mother of the Bride Mara Mayberry

We had the absolute best experience with Minneapolis Golf Club (MGC) and Nancy! Nancy is the director of catering and does the event planning. She truly was the absolute best to work with! She has been there over 22 years and knows everything there is to know about MGC and weddings. Nancy was great at responding to all of my questions very quickly and was at MGC the day of the day of the wedding to help make sure everything ran smoothly. Throughout the planning process, she was very helpful and gave us many good recommendations. Another bonus of MGC is that the venue is so beautiful on it’s own, it requires very minimal decorations. One thing that was very important to me was that there were no hidden fees, I have many friends who have gotten burned on that in the past. Nancy and MGC were very upfront with their prices and we had no hidden fees. The food was made in house and was absolutely fabulous. We did passed appetizers and a plated dinner and got many compliments on it throughout the night. One thing I did like about MGC, is they do allow you to bring in your own desserts for free, there is a cake cutting fee, but we did cupcakes, so this wasn’t a problem.

This is an ideal wedding venue! Nancy and her team at the Minneapolis Golf Club are PHENOMENAL. I had booked a wedding venue in downtown Minneapolis amidst all of the civil unrest, and I was so nervous that the previous venue was going to be burned down that I decided to switch to the Minneapolis Golf Club, and I could not have been happier with the decision. The golf course and landscaping provided a BEAUTIFUL backdrop for the ceremony, reception, and our photos. The staff was prepared, efficient, and quick to respond to email inquiries. I literally had no stress because Nancy and her team were so on top of everything - very professional and experienced with great advice for brides like me who need all the help they can get! We ended up having our rehearsal dinner at the venue as well, and the crew was so accommodating. We just made sure to serve a different entrée and salad for the rehearsal dinner than the day of the wedding so people didn't get sick of the food. Speaking of which - the food was absolutely amazing. The day of our wedding we served the Filet Mignon & Poached Shrimp and Crispy Tuscan Chicken with the mashed potatoes and asparagus with each. My guests and I all agreed that the food was superior to any other wedding meal we have ever had. We had the ceremony in the same space as the reception, and our guests went and had a cocktail hour in the bar/main hall area while the staff flipped the room. Honestly, the cocktail hour (technically it was an hour and a half because we hired a crew to set up linens and flowers so it took some time) was perfect and went by so quickly. The staff served all the delicious appetizers of our choice to our guests and had champagne ready for everyone as soon as they exited the ceremony so as not to overwhelm the bartender during the cocktail hour. It helped avoid lines at the bar, and people were able to continue mingling while butlers passed the horduerves around on trays. The reception space had a dance floor in the front of the room in front of the huge windows for a lovely backdrop, and the Club has a lit-up balcony that guests could cool off and mingle on during dance breaks. Our guests had a great time hanging in the bar area, balcony area, and dance floor all night long. The staff helped to make sure we had everything wrapped up by 11:30. One tip: the bridal get ready room is awesome, and I highly recommend paying for the package that includes the vanity mirrors, breakfast buffet, and mimosas. It was SO much fun for all of us, and we really got pumped for the walk down the aisle. Choose this venue! You won't regret it!! Thanks Nancy & the Minneapolis Golf Club crew for making our special day better than we could have ever expected!
