Dining & Bar

Catering:

We encourage couples to choose their own caterer with the confidence that our venue provides the space and support your vendor will need in our holding kitchen. Our venue is equipped for buffet dinners, plated meals, hors d’oeuvres service, and more. We also offer a list of trusted, preferred caterers for couples looking for a place to start.

Self-Catering Option

Couples may choose to provide their own food or work with a non-traditional caterer, provided all state and local requirements are met.

This includes:

• Proper liability insurance
• Any required permits or day licenses, as applicable under Minnesota law

We’re happy to help guide you through what’s needed to ensure everything is handled correctly.
