Back to Work. Let the Minnesota Busy-ness Begin

Autumn is the time to get back to work. Business picks up, your calendar is full, and you’re busier than you’ve been in months.

At meetingpages.com, we know you’ve got a lot of planning to do. That’s why this month we’re spotlighting the best suppliers for your business and corporate meetings + events. We know the top hotels, venues, and meeting facilities to give your guests the business connections and opportunities they need to get their jobs done!

After all, it’s what we do best—make the business of planning easier for you.

Hotels + Resorts — Welcome to the Big City

Where your guests stay has a huge impact on their productivity, so hotels located in the city are always a good choice. With more than 2000 square feet of meeting space, state-of-the art a/v set up and complimentary wi-fi, Aloft Minneapolis offers professionals the space they need to get the job done. A convenient downtown location is just minutes from dozens of major corporate offices, whether walking, traveling by car or taking the nearby new light rail.

Staying in the twin town of St. Paul? The St. Paul Hotel in the heart of Minnesota’s capital city is an historic hotel renowned as a place where business gets done. Celebrated catering services, exquisite meeting spaces and state-of-the-art technology makes all business conducted there a pleasure.

Outside the City Limits

Think your attendees would enjoy a little peace and quiet away from the big city? Then head north to Fortune Bay Resort + Casino or Grand Superior Lodge. Just a short drive from Duluth, you’ll find all the business amenities of metropolitan hotels (thousands of feet of meeting space, banquet facilities, catering and yes, even wi-fi) nestled in rustic settings with plenty of sightseeing and activities on sight and nearby. Or head south of the metro to Jackpot Junction Casino Hotel or Treasure Island Resort + Casino. Both locations offer luxurious accommodations, an abundance of meeting and banquet facilities, plus business centers, award-winning food, gambling, shows and attractive group rates.

Meeting + Event Venues — Big and Small

From large groups to small, conveniently located event venues make it easy for your guests to stay at the top of their game while having quick access to nearby businesses and local attractions. In downtown St. Paul, the elegant Landmark Center offers space from 20 to 1000 attendees, making it perfect for corporate meetings, seminars and business events. Just minutes north of downtown Minneapolis, the Earle Brown Heritage Center features meeting rooms, breakout spaces, a boardroom, banquet facility and even a ballroom to accommodate groups of almost any size.

Elegance abounds in the southern metro at the Blaisdell Manor where up to 400 guests can meet, eat and greet business associates in a Georgian-style mansion. Paradise Charter Cruises might just float their boat when you choose to charter a cruise from a fleet of four vessels that navigate the waters of Lake Minnetonka or the Mighty Mississippi.

In the Country

Business surroundings don’t have to be bland. So if meeting on the links seems appealing, plan your event at Brackett’s Crossing Country Club in Lakeville. With space for up to 1000, banquet services and a championship golf course, there’s no telling what kind of deals could get done.

Event Services — It’s All in the Details

Now that you’ve got the perfect space, it’s time to dress up the place. Both Apres and Ultimate Events offer tents, staging, chairs, lighting, sound systems or almost anything you can think of to make your business event a success.

If it’s a catered affair, look no further than Three Sons Signature Cuisine. This award winning caterer serves the entire Twin Cities area with palate-pleasing menus and flawless execution for just about any corporate event. Or connect with Mintahoe Hospitality Group, the award-winning caterers with a banquet of options including catering for corporate meetings, picnics and even private jets. Finally, whether you need dinner for 10 or a banquet for 10,000, call on D’amico Catering for their legendary delicious dishes. 

And there you have it — you’ve planned your event down to the very last detail. And just in time too. After all, winter events are just a few short months away!
