Celebrate Glad Tidings of Comfort & Joy in Style   

Minnesota Event Venues

What’s on your wish list? Begin by considering what kind of team you have. Are they a hard-working crew who like to kick up their heels and party? Or would they appreciate an atmosphere that is subdued and stylish? From cozy to cavernous, simple to sophisticated, there is a venue that’s perfect for your bunch. Search our Minnesota Holiday Party Venues Guide for a complete list of options in your area or consider one of our favorites.

What better way to treat your guests than with a site that not only provides a place to celebrate, but when the party’s over, a comfy spot to lay a weary head? Then a hotel is just right for you. Retreat to Omni Viking Lakes Hotel, located in Eagan, Minnesota, with close accommodations to both downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul. This trendy yet chic home away from home features 320 finely appointed guest rooms and suites and an on-site restaurant. Drawing inspiration from Icelandic and Nordic cultures, the property features natural and rich tones to create inviting spaces perfect for your holiday celebration!

Looking for something a little out of the ordinary, Northeast? There is an abundance of unique and unusual places for your crew to congregate. Why not take a few twirls around the Iron Trail Motors Event Center featuring an ice arena, a ballroom with 6500+ of flexible meeting space and two meeting rooms? Planning in the Twin Cities? Consider the world class St. Paul Saints CHS Field with its professional baseball ambience, open year round!

Need a chic venue for the crowd that loves to dress up and spend a stylish night in the town? Conveniently located in Champlin, Mississippi Crossings overlooking the mighty Mississippi river is an excellent choice featuring expansive spaces, impeccable service, offering a variety of offsite caterers from which to choose.

And while this may not be golf season, that doesn’t mean your group can’t gather at a spectacular club house to be of good cheer. Finally, in its pastoral setting, Rush Creek Golf Club delivers spectacular views and a beautiful banquet space that all will find jolly.
