Amanda & Moid – September `11 Anniversary Party

Just wanted to drop you a note to say THANKS! The evening was wonderful. Everything came together wonderfully. I appreciate all the hard work from you and you team. We heard comments all night about how cool the location was and how it worked so nicely for an event our size. The bar staff was wonderful! They had some fun with us, and even listened to me when I had them alternate some glasses of water in for my husband :). It really felt like we had a club to ourselves for our closest friends! What a fun night! Thanks for sending the deposit money back timely as well. Please pass on my thanks and compliments to your team! We would definitely recommend and use FIVE again. (Maybe our 25th anniversary? lol).

Jessica - Potential Client

We ended up going with a venue in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, because both of our families live there. FIVE is an absolutely gorgeous space. There are so few venues in the Twin Cities area with that design aesthetic. What a gem!

Bre & Mariano – Married July ’10

I wanted to thank you all at the Five Event Center for making our wedding absolutely wonderful! Everybody was extremely helpful and friendly! Thank you for everything!

Ashley & Todd – Married June ’10

My husband and I held our wedding reception at FIVE Event Center in June 2010. Staff from FIVE assisted us with every step in the planning process. The center even hosted a wine and catering open house so that we could meet local catering companies and pick one for our reception. Everyone we worked with from FIVE was accomodating and answered all our questions. The night of the reception, our Event Manager attended to make sure all our last-minute needs were met and to ensure that everyone had a great time. The space was absolutely beautiful and we, along with all our guests, had a fabulous night! Thank you FIVE!

Pamela & Tim – Married April ’10

FIVE is truly one of the best/most unique reception sites in Minnesota. It was absolutely perfect for our smaller reception with around 110 guests. We toured other event centers, ballrooms and hotel locations but nothing is even close to FIVE. The downstairs bar is amazing and absolutely perfect for the cocktail hour. The people we worked with were extremely fast at getting back to us on all of our questions and they made sure everything was taken care of throughout the event. They were flexible, easy to deal with, professional and a lot of fun to work with!

Kelsea & Kevin – Married January ’10

You are the best! You went way above and beyond helping us with our millions of questions, coaching us through our indecision, and making our dream reception a reality. Picking FIVE was one of the quickest decisions we made in our planning. You put us at ease and were there for us every step of the way. Thanks a million!

Amanda & Mike – Married January ’10

Thank you so much for the great service you provided from start to finish. We had a great time! We got so many compliments on your venue - how different, exciting and modern it was. That's exactly what we wanted! Your bartenders did an excellent job and we got numerous compliments on their professionalism, service and friendly demeanor! Thank you again so much!

Djay Sound & Light– Vendor

Probably one of the most physically breathtaking facilities in the Twin Cities, FIVE Event Center is a great place to have your wedding reception. FIVE combines New York Style Architecture with an attitude that makes your venue search a very relaxing and fun experience. At FIVE, customer service is the most important aspect of your experience there. From the moment you walk in the door, to when you sit down with one of their fantastic event managers you will be treated as a person, not as just another event. Their goal is to make your wedding unique and special and won't use high pressure sales tactics to make you book. Just a good old fashioned smile. Their flexibility is one of their greatest strengths as well. They don't have strict rules about which venders you bring in to their marvelous venue. From Caterer's to DJ's, all are welcome at FIVE to showcase their craft and make your "dream" wedding day a reality.

Chelsea & Scott – September ’09 Wedding Prospect

I will definitely recommend FIVE to any friends or family who might be planning Minneapolis weddings in the future. You have been so helpful and responsive and there are many other venues I have contacted in Mpls where I didn't have that kind of experience with their sales rep/event coordinator. Thank you so much for all of your help!

Sharla & Jeremy – Married September ’09

Thank you for all your hard work and effort put into our wedding reception. We've gotten so many compliments on the venue and are so happy we chose FIVE. You were great to work with!

Andrew & Abbey – Married September ’09

My new husband and I had a fabulous wedding ceremony and reception at FIVE Event Center. When we were looking for a venue, we toured FIVE and after that no other venue could even come close to competing with it. FIVE is gorgeously decorated and the staff is so helpful! I received prompt answers to all of my questions before and after we decided to book it for our wedding. All of our guests also fell in love with the space. We received so many compliments on what a beautiful and fun place FIVE is, and our guests were also very impressed with the quality of service! I am so glad we ended up choosing FIVE for our wedding, I wouldn't have changed a thing!!

Bridget – September ’09 Corporate Event

Thank you so much for your great work in making our event so fantastic! We appreciate your flexibility and time, you were wonderful to work with. Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are ROCKSTARS.

Kelly & Andrew – Married August ’09

My husband and I did not want a stereotypical hotel ballroom for our reception. We wanted something classy, elegant, chic and fun....we also wanted to show off our city, so urban was a must. FIVE Event Center was the ideal location. The Staff is AMAZING!!! I can't say enough about their professionalism, friendliness and how great a job they did. Finally, and this may be hard to believe, our wedding budget was under $10,000. FIVE Event Center will work with you to meet your needs and vision for your event.

Renee – August ’09 Non-Profit Fundraiser Event

What a fantastic evening! Thanks so much for everything you did to make it happen. I will be talking to the Board but I am positive everyone wants to come back next year and have our Summer Gala at FIVE again. It worked out perfect. I received TONS of praise from our guests, thank you for making me look good!

Amantha & PJ – Married August ’09

I had an amazing time working with the staff at The Five Event Center. The site is absolutely beautiful so you save a lot of time and money since you don't really need decorations. I will always recommend this site to other brides and party planners. Definitely go and check them out if you are planning an event. It'll blow your mind away!!

Wesley – May ’09 Wedding Client

We LOVED Five Event Center! The space is absolutely beautiful- it needed very little decoration. We also loved working with all the event planners there, they are all very nice and extremely quick to respond!

Wendy Woods – Photographer

One of my favorite locations in the Twin Cities - a retrofitted police precinct building has been given a very contemporary, modern and colorful look inside, with artful lighting, unusual lines, two floors of reception space, and great neighborhood locations for additional photography. I love it!
