Mary Sent on 03/27/2024Absolutely Perfect
I cannot stress enough how perfect this location was. When we first visited, we knew instantly that this was the venue for us--cozy, spacious, comfortable, elegant. The lead coordinator, Tracy, was very responsive and helpful throughout and made the planning process easy with her list of recommended vendors and the venue's chef sampling event to help us plan our menu. Tracy served as a day-of coordinator and made sure everything flowed smoothly from the moment we arrived. We loved having so many different spaces for people to gather--the intimate, elegant library/bar; the open lounge with its fireplace; the reception hall with a dance floor; the patio with cafe lighting, etc.--and our guests loved having the freedom to roam around. We didn't bring any decor in (aside from the bridal party bouquets that we converted into centerpieces after the ceremony)--the venue is gorgeous enough as is! I can't recommend this place enough! -

BEST we could've hoped for!
We cannot thank the entire staff enough for a wonderful wedding experience. Not only was the day as perfect as we could have hoped for but they were outstanding in helping us put it together! You guys are awesome and we would recommend anyone that is getting married to consider working with you guys. -

Josie S. Sent on 10/25/2019Our dream venue
The St. Paul College Club was a total DREAM. We toured a lot of venues around the Twin Cities, but nothing compared to St. Paul College Club. It is a GORGEOUS house, with many areas for guests to spread out and talk to many people, versus just having to be at their tables all night. The location is stunning - right on historical Summit Avenue in St. Paul. There's also a beautiful backyard you have access to (it snowed on our October wedding day, so we weren't out there much) that is a gorgeous extension of the house. This venue is stately while also being extremely cozy, and feels secluded, even with being less than 10 minutes from downtown St. Paul.
A big reason we chose St. Paul College Club was the ability to make our reception exactly how we wanted. I did not want a band or DJ, just a playlist. They have an awesome audio setup you can bundle in, including a projector. You can also bring all of your own alcohol for the bar, which was another way for us to really make it our own, by only bringing the items we wanted to serve. The staff was also just flexible with how we wanted the rooms setup, the schedule to run, and how the decorations were done (sidenote: they have a decorator who will setup everything for you, you just drop it all off!). Their in-house chef is incredible, (and took out the necessity for us to choose a caterer) and I got SO many compliments on the food.
Meet with them - their schedule fills up quickly! -

Maria Sent on 10/14/2019Beautiful venue for both indoor and outdoor receptions!
My husband and I were extremely happy with St. Paul College Club and could not have asked for a better experience. The venue was perfect for our budget and the overall flow of our wedding. The staff was great to work with, too. Jenny was always hospitable and open to us dropping by with questions or to see the space, and the day-of staff were thoughtful and professional. The food was also delicious. The College Club itself is a beautiful space and very well maintained--highly recommend for both indoor and outdoor weddings! Thanks to Jenny and the entire staff for making our day so special! -

Great value and very customizable
We loved having our wedding at SPCC and our guests loved it too! We had 90 guests and were able to have the ceremony in the living room, which was really nice. The whole vibe is like having a house party if you lived in a gorgeous historical mansion, which was perfect for us. It was also the perfect venue since we were planning from out of state (there's so much included and/or easily added on for reasonable prices as far as food, staffing, and decor is concerned - so you don't have to work with a million separate vendors) AND are huge beer nerds (you can BYOB and pay them to serve it!) Would definitely make the decision to use them again! -

Hidden Gem
We absolutely adored this venue from the moment we walked through the door! It gives you a great feeling to know that part of the expenses help the women's club provide scholarships for women. The "a la carte" style may seem overwhelming at first, but it was so nice to be able to design our wedding just the way we wanted it without spending gobs of money! So convenient to have an exclusive caterer - made our planning so much easier! We decided on heavy hors d'oeuvres rather than a formal sit-down dinner, which helped guests mingle and take advantage of the many rooms in the mansion! Also, the ability to bring your own alcohol cannot be overstated!!! We still get comments from guests about how fun it was! The staff at SPCC were stellar; in fact, I remember calling Jenny "my spirit animal." Ha! Such a special thing to get along so well with your event coordinator. They made our dreams come true! The day itself was perfect. The mansion created a space that was both classic/timeless/elegant AND homey/welcoming/fun! Not to mention, the venue is absolutely gorgeous, and your photos will turn out so well! We recommend this space for any event - it is so special! So grateful! -

Marcella Sent on 10/23/2017Absolutely stunning space! The mansion was remarkable with so many spaces to wander and we were lucky enough to have a gorgeous sunny day, which allowed our guests to make the most of the outside grounds. In addition to the beauty of the venue, the meals were delicious. Our guests simply raved about how great the food was, which is certainly a rarity! Most mass-produced meals for special events are typically lacking. This was the exception to the rule! And finally, if you've always dreamed of idyllic fall foliage wedding photos, the surrounding trees and ivy on the building will take your break away. They photograph so beautifully against the creamy white stone of the building. It's a photographic fantasy. Absolutely loved it and would highly recommend this venue to anyone! -

Paige Sent on 03/31/2017I had the challenge of planning my wedding across country, and I could not have done it without St. Paul College Club’s help. Seriously, it just wouldn’t have happened, total life savers. The entire process from the original tour, to booking, tasting and finally the big day they were so trustowrthy, never pushy, never tried to upsell you etc. They answered and all our questions and put up all of our décor with no instructions perfectly. It was stunning. They even went the extra mile and switched out the “groom” sign upstairs to accommodate two brides. We were so touched. We had a very tight budget and so many vendors, people hauling alcohol, 2 different bakeries for cake, DIY DJ set up, Photobooth, Orchestra etc and everything flowed perfectly. When we were missing the flower petals they figured it out with the florist calmly and with no delay. Everyone was so well organized. Family dropped off decorations a few days before hand and they let us know within hours of receiving if anything was missing and that our cake stand had broken! (My family never opened the box to check it when it was originally bought). They even offered to try to find one for us which wasn’t necessary but so thoughtful.
We had about 90 guests and did buffet style and the food was delicious, hot and plentiful. All the employees were so kind and professional. The bartenders were fast, no huge line for drinks etc. We did do a tasting which I HIGHLY recommend, the food the day of was the exact same, if not better the day of. I do remember the corn cake appetizer we sampled at the tasting was very salty so we switched it with something to something Lindsay recommended which was delicious.
The actual venue layout was perfect. Our wedding was Oct 16th and the leaves in the backyard and front street were INCREDIBLE. The layout of the venue is ideal because they have a perfectg living room set up for family that doesn’t want to dance and just wants to talk, catch up etc. -
User2297715 Sent on 09/02/2015Lindsey and the Staff at SPCC were PHENOMENAL! Emails were answered in a timely fashion, food was exceptional, and the atmosphere elegant.
The Staff were helpful in planning a surprise for my Groom which entailed contacting a market in Maryland and having cannoli's shipped for the wedding.
We couldn't have asked for a better experience! -
User2005128 Sent on 01/11/2015I loved the St. Paul College Club. Jayme was friendly and very helpful during the planning process. She never seemed put out when I had last minute questions and had some great ideas that we incorporated into our big day. They are reasonably priced and everything is amazing, from the food, to the hot chocolate bar, and the venue is beautiful.
