Wedding Reception Venue

from Coon Rapids, MN
We were so pleased with the Science Museum of MN (SMM) for our daughter's wedding reception. We had several pre-event meetings: one with the catering staff so that we could have a 'tasting' of different entrees from which we could select for the reception dinner and another to be sure they understood what size of room we wanted/needed, how we wanted the room set up, timeline for activities, etc. All SMM staff were extremely professional and courteous. On the day of the event, everything went off without a hitch! The SMM staff even accommodated several plan changes at the last minute with aplomb. The waitstaff were very unobstrustive and made sure all of our guests had what they needed and wanted. I am certain the service we received at SMM for this event created extremely positive memories for my daughter and new son-in-law.
You do need to plan to spend at least $25 per plate for your guests, but believe me, it is worth every penny! The SMM has several options in terms of room size and will work with you to manage a budget. We also took advantage of their wedding cake caterer and we also took advantage of their audio/visual technology for a portion of the reception entertainment.
In short, we got everything we hoped for and then some! It was fabulous.
