Aster Cafe

Aster Cafe offers a collection of historic event spaces beside the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, with the River Room as its signature setting. Its characterful interiors, vintage lighting, copper and oak bar, and views of the river and city skyline create a distinctive backdrop for celebrations and business gatherings.

The River Room is suited to wedding ceremonies and receptions, rehearsal dinners, birthday parties and other private celebrations. The venue also provides spaces for corporate meetings, training sessions, conferences, holiday parties and company dinners. Depending on the room and arrangement, capacities range from intimate groups to receptions of around 200 guests. Organisers can ask the events team about layouts, availability and the best space for their guest numbers and programme.

Additional spaces extend the options for a full event. The Shasta Tent can host ceremonies and cocktail hours, while the landscaped Royal Court offers an outdoor setting. Hall of Kings accommodates weddings, corporate gatherings and parties, and smaller groups can consider the Camelot Bar or the Vista private loft. Bridal preparation rooms are also available by arrangement.

Food and drink are part of the venue offer, with menus for event dining and beverage service. For business events, flexible room arrangements and presentation equipment such as projectors and screens are available. Connected indoor parking is another practical feature for guests. With several distinct rooms and outdoor areas at one riverfront location, event planners can shape a gathering around the occasion, guest count and desired atmosphere.
