The Blaisdell

The Blaisdell is a historic Georgian mansion in Minneapolis offering an elegant and adaptable setting for weddings, corporate functions and private celebrations. Built in 1915 and thoughtfully renovated, the venue combines period character with a light, contemporary interior that organisers can style to suit their event.

The property offers several distinct spaces, making it suitable for both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations. The Grand Ballroom can accommodate up to 225 guests for dinner and provides a flexible backdrop for wedding receptions, galas, company parties and formal dinners. Smaller areas include a traditional parlor, a comfortable great room, a private luxury suite, a billiard lounge and a landscaped courtyard. These rooms can be used for ceremonies, cocktail receptions, guest preparation, informal meetings or quieter moments during the event.

The Blaisdell also welcomes corporate and social occasions, including conferences, training sessions, holiday parties and business receptions. Corporate hire options are available for daytime and evening events, with different rental durations to suit the programme. Venue packages can include tables, Chiavari chairs, lounge furniture, LED lighting, an in-house audiovisual system, security when required and support from a venue coordinator.

Event organisers can work with the venue’s preferred catering, bartending and lighting partners, while the team can also provide recommendations for photographers, florists and other event professionals. Parking is available nearby, subject to availability. With its historic architecture, multiple rooms and central Minneapolis location, The Blaisdell gives planners a distinctive venue for carefully tailored events.
