Notes on the Mill City Museum for Weddings

A new Minnesota wedding reception site that is also appropriate for wedding ceremonies is the Mill City Museum in downtown Minneapolis, which is at 704 South 2nd Street, right by the new Guthrie Theater. Pictured above is the Ronald William Guzy Mill Commons, which holds 220 wedding guests.

D’Amico caters the events and handles all the booking for weddings.

The person to call to rent the museum for a wedding ceremony and reception is Patrick Fitzgerald at 612-238-4012 and his email is pfitzgerald@damico.com Patrick is a great guy - very friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to work with.

This wedding reception site is definitely unconventional, but for some couples, that’s perfect. In the winter, the Mill City Museum hosts weddings in their big main entrance hall, which has gorgeous columns and high ceilings. Most weddings, though, are held outside in their Charles H. Bell Ruin Courtyard (pictured to the right), which holds 130 guests for a wedding reception.

The Mill City Museum courtyard overlooks the Mississippi River and St Anthony Falls, plus Riverplace and St Anthony Main is across the river. The picture to the right shows the museum and was taken right beside the falls at the lock and dam.

The site rental fee for weddings at the Mill City Museum is $1500 for Saturdays in the summer, plus $350 if the courtyard is used.

The closest hotel is the Holiday Inn Metrodome, which is right up Washington Ave, across 35W.
