Semple Mansion

Semple Mansion is a historic Minneapolis venue for weddings, receptions and other private or corporate gatherings. The restored mansion brings together period architecture and several distinct rooms, giving organisers options for different parts of an event, from a ceremony and drinks reception to dinner and dancing.

The third-floor Grand Ballroom is the main celebration space. It accommodates up to 250 guests and includes a stage area for a DJ or band, a commercial kitchen for caterers and views across downtown Minneapolis. The Grand Foyer offers another setting for ceremonies or guest drinks, with seating capacity for up to 200. Other spaces include a bridal suite, a lounge and bar, a library, a billiards room and a wine cellar that can be used for tastings or socialising.

Wedding bookings can include use of the mansion for the full day, from morning until midnight. The venue lists dinner tables, chairs, cocktail tables, security, set-up and clean-up among the rental inclusions. Parking is available nearby for an additional fee. Couples can hold their ceremony and reception at the same location, and the venue provides a list of preferred local suppliers for services such as catering, photography, music and planning.

With its historic character and several rooms under one roof, Semple Mansion can suit organisers looking for a distinctive setting for a wedding or celebration in the Twin Cities. Event planners can enquire about availability, arrange a tour and discuss the layout and arrangements that best fit their occasion.
