When we first toured Nicollet Island Pavillion we met Morgan.

Mintahoe was so on top of it that they even had multiple gluten and dairy free wedding cakes for the bride to taste. This was especially impressive to us because other gluten and dairy free bakeries wouldn't even accommodate cake tastings. (The cakes were all delicious. We went with chocolate raspberry/ lemon poppyseed with lemon curd and vanilla buttercream.) Morgan went above and beyond through every step of the planning process, and she and the Mintahoe staff thought of everything. At our final planning meeting we met Nikita. She had the venue set up and then we went through every step of the day according to the timeline. On the big day, Nikita coordinated with our DJ, Pastor, and Photographers and things could not have gone better! A few things that really stood out to us were: - After the ceremony, the venue had our favorite drinks and small appetizer plates ready for us in the back room. - The late night snack (nacho bar and wings) were also allergen free. - They put up all of our signage and place cards (which saves a lot of stress). Overall, the day was so perfect because of Morgan, Nikita, and Mintahoe's professionalism and planning. As the bride and groom, we were able to enjoy every moment of our wedding day!

From the moment my (now) husband and I virtually toured Nicollet Island Pavilion, we knew we had…read morefound the perfect place to celebrate our wedding. We are city dwellers but love the outdoors and NIP was the perfect backdrop that brought both of those worlds together. The well-maintained outdoor space provided a stunning backdrop for our ceremony and cocktail hour while the industrial vibe of the venue building provided some urban romance for the evening reception. The attention to detail displayed by the venue's staff was exceptional. Morgan, our event coordinator, was not only professional but also genuinely invested in making our day perfect. Coordinating an event with a very Type A bride (I'm the problem, it's me) and parents, who sometimes had differing preferences, is not easy, but Morgan navigated all our questions and changing plans with ease. She worked tirelessly to ensure that every aspect of our celebration was executed flawlessly, leaving us stress-free and able to savor every precious moment on the big day. The combination of breathtaking surroundings, impeccable service, and a dedicated team made our wedding day truly unforgettable. We are immensely grateful to Nicollet Island Pavilion for providing the perfect backdrop for our big day!

Sound system was great as the actors had microphones, in which there was no reverberations or echo. Location had parking amongst other little businesses connected to the hall, but our show was in the evening, so beau-coup parking. Unsure of how it would be during daytime business hours. Location was also near other little restaurants and shopping area, not near downtown Stillwater at all but close enough where you could go there if wanted to. Located right off Hwy 36 which is convenient. Murder Mystery show was FANTASTIC!

I would love to come back in the summer when I could go on their patio which looked great. Overall awesome experience and I'll keep an eye out for their next event like this!

They had chairs lined up podium style, but I grabbed a side table on the long bench siding. Perfect! They offered a light snack of popcorn & bubble water. Nice touch. But my favorite by far is the inspirational art in the bathroom. If fired me up! Plus it's a beautiful old building! They have space above Minneapolis' Kado no Mise. Fancy! The Coven is a warm, inviting community & work space for women, non-binary, and trans people. You check in on the first floor greeted by friendly, helpful faces. They are open weekdays 8-8 and have a St Paul space in the works! They have so many interesting topics for speakers just sign up online for one of their many happenings. You can join and be a member. They have conference room and floor rentals for your own event needs! I guess you can do photoshoots there too. Just message them via their website for all of the details.

So if you ignore that nightmare you can have a great time and a great meal. I was in the room at the bottom of the winding staircase. The buffet was beautiful. It started with a variety of rolls with pre-cut triangular butter. A nice tossed salad but no salad plates offered. I think my favorite was the garlic mashed potatoes. A good sized piece of chicken was just a minute more above being fork tender. Another favorite was the lamb ragu. If there were vegetables I ignored them and didn't have room on the plate.The bar is at the top of the stairs. It was also check in and we got a parking pass, thank God. So the dessert and coffee table had their signature chocolate. But I was lured to the cobbler and creme fraiche. The servers are standing very close to the buffet table and cater to your every whim, especially filling waters and clearing plates. Bathrooms are handy and a huge area in the ladies room for the bride to change. Then back to the parking lot.
