The Most Beautiful Stillwater Wedding Venue

The Victorian era was a time of romance, class, refinement, and grace. The term ‘Victorian’ renders from the styles and disposition during the reign of Queen Victoria, whose marriage to Prince Albert in 1840 influenced the traditional wedding ceremonies and receptions we experience today.

Elegant accommodations and exquisite fair became central to the celebration of wedded bliss. During the Victorian era, weddings evolved into more spectacle than previous times. Family and friends traveled by horse and buggy to witness the coming together of two families. None of the other Minnesota wedding venues near Stillwater can match the romance of the Victorian Era elegance than we can. Here are seven reasons we’re one of the best Minnesota wedding venues:

• It’s all about versatility! We offer multiple options for holding your ceremony when you choose from our Minnesota wedding venues for your wedding. There are various configurations for events in our large Grand Ballroom (maximum 250 guests). We use three different layouts depending on the size of your event. Papa’s Rooftop is one of the more impressive locales with sweeping views of the river and outdoor fire tables (maximum 150 guests).
• The Ballroom features a wooden dance floor and has audio and visual capabilities. We recommend Minnesota Wedding Party for DJ services for an exciting night filled with great music and a lively MC.
• We provide tables, chairs, linens, and tableware for all events—you won’t find this full package service at all Minnesota wedding venues near Stillwater. Couples don’t need to stress or worry about a thing! You’ll work closely with our event planner and staff to pick the layout that best fits your wishes.
• There’s very little we don’t offer when it comes to meal choices. From breakfast buffets and lunch spreads to gourmet plated dinners with anything from tray-passed hors d’oeuvres, carving stations, high-end additions like lobster tails, and roasted meats. We pride ourselves on putting together wedding feasts to impress even the most particular guests! Thankfully, we have three full-service restaurants on-site, which makes catering your wedding a breeze.
• We have an extensive selection of beverage services for your cocktail hour, toasts, and reception as well: bottled and kegged beer, wine, Champagne, and specialty mixed drinks. We also provide all of the staff for serving and bartending.
• We have a great list of recommendations for additional services (i.e., cake, photos, florist, and shuttles). If it’s not something that we handle personally at our Stillwater MN Hotel, we love to offer you this selection of vetted and competent local businesses to fill those roles.
• One of the main things that set us apart from other Minnesota wedding venues is you’ll be able to book a block of guest rooms. Including lodging on-site creates a sense of community among your wedding guests. More often than not, our overnight guests convene in one of our on-site bars before or after the event. And with rooms just upstairs, people can relax and have fun without worrying about driving home. Be sure to chat about booking guest rooms with your event planner!

We’re confident that none of the other Minnesota wedding venues near Stillwater can bring the same grand sense of Victorian style to your special day that we can. We’ve hosted hundreds of weddings and have no shortage of great reviews to show for it. Here’s a recent comment from a more than satisfied bride: “We are so in love with the Water Street Inn. It was an incredible venue for our winter wedding. We had a ton of positive feedback from guests; it truly created the romantic ambiance we had hoped for. The rooms are so unique, and the entire hotel had so much charm. It makes for great photos!”
