Turtle's 1890 Social Centre

Turtle’s 1890 Social Centre is a historic event venue in downtown Shakopee, Minnesota, offering organisers a characterful setting for weddings, receptions, banquets, meetings and other special occasions. The restored building dates to the late nineteenth century and retains period details, including an antique mahogany bar, a decorative metal ceiling and a turn-of-the-century feel. Its distinctive interior gives private celebrations and business gatherings a different atmosphere from a standard function room.

The venue is particularly suited to wedding celebrations, with space for ceremonies and receptions. It also welcomes organisers planning banquets, meetings and other events. The team offers guidance during planning and on the event day, giving organisers support as they prepare the occasion and coordinate its details.

Food can be planned around a range of menu formats. Published options include appetisers, luncheon selections, a pasta bar buffet and table-service dinners, and the venue invites clients to discuss custom requests. This makes it possible to consider different styles of gathering, from a meal-centred celebration to a more formal reception. Organisers can contact the venue to discuss their plans, menu preferences and the practical details of a booking. With its historic character, event-focused service and range of dining choices, Turtle’s 1890 Social Centre provides a local setting for couples, businesses and other groups arranging an event in Shakopee.
