High FIVE's From Our Clients, Friends and Vendors

Giovanna – Birthday Party November ’12

I dont even know if it was a great party or I'm really getting old for parties like this one. All I know is that my poor feet were calling 911!!! We all danced like rock stars!! Our guests are still talking about the party, we posted a lot of the pictures in facebook and everyone comments about FIVE Event Center. All my girlfriends loved the place..perfect for "chicas", elegant and contemporary style. Thank you so much for your hard work and effort to make my 40th unforgettable. I really appreciate it. Thank you so much!

Makes me appreciate the vendors that are joyful and understanding, and that we are ALL in this together-to make a beautiful day for our couples! So. Thank You. for being so delightful to work with!!! :D

Jeffrey – Wedding Guest April ’12

Just wanted to say that I attended a wedding at Five Event Center two weekends ago and found it to be an amazing facility. The color scheme and the stairwell stick out for me as well the large bar downstairs. Your space is cosmopolitan yet comfortable. Great facility. I look forward to attending my next event there!

Julie & Todd – Married March ’12

Our overall experience was great. The event manager we worked with was very helpful in helping us develop a vision of how we wanted the night to work. FIVE is a very unique space and many of our guests commented on not knowing it existed but loved it. I specifically liked the look and feel of FIVE. It made our party more memorable and allowed for guests to explore and find hidden coves to talk during the night. The FIVE event staff was very nice and polite. I didn’t interact much with anyone except Krista but the bartenders were always quick to take my order when I approached the bar. FIVE is on my list for our next party too. It actually made me want to plan more parties :). Based on our research the total price was very similar to the hotels we looked at, even when the hotel didn’t have a rental fee but required you use their catering services and their drink packages are more expensive than FIVE. FIVE was the perfect place for our party. Todd and I had a wonderful time and I believe having our party at FIVE has made it even more memorable. Thanks again!

Chelsea & Trevor – Married February ’12

I just wanted to thank you and your staff so much for everything that you did. Our wedding could not have gone better and we honestly could not have asked for more. We were so impressed by everything that everyone did, especially you for being there and answering all of our questions throughout the entire process. We would be more than willing to give you any kind of reviews you would like at any time. They would be glowing! Thanks again for everything and let us know if you need anything else from us.

Maryjo & Andrew – Married September ’11

We cannot thank you enough for all the hard work you put into making our day perfect! You're the best!

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).

Lindsay & Logan – Married August ’11

Thank you for helping us put on a great party! It was even better than we imagined it would be and your team did a great job. We've heard nothing but wonderful comments about how everything went. Thank you again!!

Kate, Mother of the Bride – June ’11 Wedding

Just want to tell you how pleased we were with the event and how you and your staff took care of everything! We received many compliments on the venue and how wonderful all your staff were, including the security guys. I know we all kind of left in a rush and I didn't get to tell you all that on Friday, but I thought we should get out of your way so you could all head home as well. Thanks again for all your hard work! We were so happy with FIVE and so glad we chose to have Anna and Jim's wedding there. Jim's parents were very pleased as well. Many, many people told me how unique and beautiful the place was. Kudos to you all!

Dana & Dan – Married June ’11

FIVE Event Center was everything we had hoped it to be! We live in Uptown and were looking for a break from the "same old wedding venue" and FIVE was exactly what we were looking for! Our event manager was wonderful to work with and she made everything very easy. We really didn't have to do much decorating because the venue is already so beautiful. We had a blast! We had 135 guests and it fit everyone very comfortably. It seriously was everything we hoped for on the most meaningful day of our lives. When I drive by and see weddings it makes me smile, because I know they're in for the time of their life. Thank you FIVE for exceeding our expectations for our wedding day!!!

Mikayla & Matthew – Married June `11

We cannot thank you enough for your incredible help over the past year and a half! Your attention to detail, patience, and friendly yet always professional demeanor continuously impressed us. Thank you for all of your support in making our wedding reception a success. :)

Melissa & Jason – Married May `11

Thanks so much! I cannot get over how quick, thorough and helpful FIVE is. Really excited about getting into the planning of our wedding reception and super thankful that you’re so helpful with details.

Cassie & Andy – April ’11 Wedding

Thank you, thank you, thank you for Saturday! Everything was PERFECT! Andy and I had so much fun and everyone couldn't stop talking about how cool the space was. I will definitely be recommending this to future brides. Oh my goodness, it was SO much fun!! Thank you again for everything! It went so smoothly :)

Melissa – January '11 Corporate Event

Thank you again for all you did for our networking event! You were a joy to work with & we will definitely keep Five Event Center in mind for future events. We will also share our great experience with you & Five with others in our industry. Thanks again!

Andrew – Potential Client

Thank you for working with us these past few weeks. You have been extremely helpful, responsive, and professional. We will have no reservations about recommending your help and the venue to others.

Sara & Mike - Married November `10

Five Event Center is amazing!! Not only is it a fun and unique place to hold a wedding but they are also so helpful, prompt, and always want to make sure everything goes as planned. They have it down to a science. Our wedding was Nov 2010 and I would recommend them to anyone!

Elizabeth & Kyle – Married November ’10

Kari – October ’10 Corporate Event

Your professionalism and communication made everything as easy as possible, and I’m excited to say that we’ve created a beginning to a great relationship! I look forward to working with you again, as you left a lasting impression on our staff as well as clients.

Marta & Nagdeep – Married September `10

Thank you and your terrific staff for all of your time, attention and hard work that went towards our event. It was a complete success thanks to you! Your attention to detail and your endless patience, along with your dedication, really made the event appear seamless and professional. Thank you for giving both of us a wedding day we'll never forget!

Marah & Mark – Married August `10

Thank you so much for everything you did for our wedding. Everything went PERFECT! You were so accomodating and easy to work with. The ceremony and reception were both exactly what we wanted. Just about everyone commented on how cool and intimiate the location was, we can't say enough, thank you so much!!!

Marla, Mother of the Bride – August ’10 Wedding

Everything was lovely! Thank you! This was my daughter's dream wedding and your venue was the only place we looked at because it was the only place she wanted...it was wonderful!!!

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!
