Wrap up the Spirit of the Holidays Minnesota

While the Midwest quiets into the cold of winter, you have the challenge of heating things up with a festive holiday celebration. After your guests brave the elements to come to the event you’ve planned, you won’t want to leave them disappointed. Embrace the seasonal theme and wrap up the spirit of the holidays like a gift for your guests.

Set the Stage
Warming up the crowd will come easy if you choose a venue with built-in entertainment. Dave and Busters in Maple Grove will make your guests feel like kids again.  You’ll have full-reign of a private party room, plus hundreds of arcade games at your disposal. Your guests won’t want to leave.

The Great Clips IMAX Theatre in Apple Valley offers another unique entertainment experience.  You can create a memorable event by putting your presentation or film up on the big screen or offer a viewing of one of the IMAX films. This can be a great option if you want to get families involved, too.

In downtown Minneapolis you can rent the Fine Line Music Cafe for an event your guests are sure to want to be at. The club environment will create a relaxed tone, while the stage will focus the crowd on the entertainment – find a fun band or get your guests up in the spotlight.

For a more formal holiday experience, the Landmark Center in downtown St. Paul can’t be beat. The open corridor with classic marble and columns sets the stage for a grand celebration and can easily accommodate groups of any size.

Similarly, the Minnesota Humanities Center in St. Paul offers a beautifully appointed classic ballroom with arched ceilings and grand windows, as well as additional rooms to meet the needs of larger groups or separate activities. There’s even the option of overnight guest rooms.

Full service hotels are always another great option for groups of all sizes – and the Twin Cities offers some of the best, including: Crowne Plaza Bloomington; Radisson Hotel Bloomington by Mall of America; The Depot Minneapolis, A Renaissance Hotel; The Westin Minneapolis; The Hotel Minneapolis; The Saint Paul Hotel; and Saint James Hotel in Red Wing.
