There are many beautiful Minnesota wedding venues. We believe The Grand Hall ranks high on that list due to our mission of ensuring perfection in the couple and guest experience, no hidden fees, and our proven planning process with unique inclusions of fresh floral centerpieces and shuttle service.

With a legacy of excellence in hospitality, we offer a curated collection of services designed to make your planning process seamless. We are here to assist you in every venue detail; from expertly designed fresh floral centerpieces and ceremony arbor, to coordinating pre & post shuttle service, and creating a day-of timeline that enhances your guest experience.

At Bold North Cellars, we craft your wedding day timeline that orchestrates your big day with elegant precision. We will work with you directly to design the perfect flow from ceremony to the dance floor, ensuring every detail from floral arrangements to guest arrival. You'll have a dedicated Venue Manager the day of your wedding: guiding vendors, directing your wedding party, or getting you a glass of bubbly to celebrate. We handle the details - floor plans, floral, shuttles, setting out and packing up your decor, even the vendor tango. You relax, revel in romance, and leave the logistics to us.

Our goal is to make this YOUR best day ever… so your event is the ONLY event happening in The Grand Hall on your date.

Pets are always welcome at The Grand Hall for the ceremony only. We encourage couples to find lodging for their fur-babies after the ceremony is concluded.

While pets are at BNC, they must be supervised at all times. The Grand Hall Venue and its staff are not responsible for the well-being, care, or supervision of pets in attendance. Pets must be kept in a kennel or on a leash, and are NOT free to roam around the indoor space freely or enter the main reception hall at any point. Any bladder or bowel deposits must be taken care of immediately. The Grand Hall is not liable for pets without a leash outdoors.

The best part about the space… The Grand Hall takes care of setting out your decor, setting up your tables & chairs, lining the tables, and creating your fresh floral centerpieces so no need for early mornings of setup. You are able to access the dressing rooms at 12pm.
