The Blaisdell

The Blaisdell has been a cornerstone of the Minneapolis bridal community since the 1930s, offering a unique blend of historic charm and modern elegance. Originally built in 1915 as a Georgian mansion, our venue underwent extensive renovations in 2016-2017 to create a versatile space that honors its rich heritage while meeting contemporary needs. Our dedicated team specializes in curating unforgettable experiences for weddings, corporate events, and private gatherings, with a focus on personalized service and attention to detail. The venue features a grand ballroom accommodating up to 225 guests, a luxurious bridal suite, intimate ceremony spaces, and a beautifully landscaped courtyard. We provide comprehensive amenities including state-of-the-art lighting, professional coordination services, and flexible layout options to ensure each event reflects the client's unique vision.

Our commitment to excellence extends to our curated vendor partnerships and digital planning tools, designed to streamline the event preparation process. With 24-foot ceilings, natural skylights, and architectural details preserved from its 1915 origins, The Blaisdell offers a distinctive backdrop that combines timeless sophistication with modern functionality. We maintain transparent pricing with all-inclusive rental packages and prioritize client satisfaction through our dedicated support team. Our venue's central Minneapolis location in the Washburn-Fair Oaks Historic District provides both accessibility and historic ambiance. From intimate elopements to large-scale celebrations, we strive to create memorable experiences that exceed expectations while preserving the venue's legacy for future generations.
