Olivia was incredible from start to finish to ensure all the details of our event were finalized, and I was able to enjoy the party myself knowing she had everything under control. She was quick to tackle any obstacles that arose the day of and went above and beyond to resolve any and all issues! Amelia was amazing and ensured the latter part of our evening continued on smoothly, even going the extra mile to help us load up our items at the end of the night. Our guests claimed this was the best holiday party yet and I 100% credit that to Olivia, Amelia and everyone else at FIVE who facilitated the night. Thank you FIVE for hosting us, and we look forward to working with you again for next year's event!

The Van Dusen was the perfect venue for our wedding. We loved that we could enjoy all the different…read morespaces throughout the day - the getting ready rooms upstairs, the basement, the top-floor kitchen. And our guests loved the progressive style event, enjoying the ballroom, courtyard, mansion ground floor (with live piano!), and carriage house throughout the evening as the story of the day unfolded. We planned our wedding remotely and appreciated that the Van Dusen stands on its own. Unlike many venues, we barely even had to think about additional decorations. The natural elegance of the venue was enough to set the mood and the tone. Bellagala was a professional organization to work with and Monica, the venue lead, was an excellent communicator before, during, and after. All staff we worked with were helpful, positive, and pleasant. Guests especially loved the Carriage House for the live band (5 members, Bluewater Kings Band). The dance floor felt perfectly packed all the time because of its size for our 120-person wedding. The open second floor gave people enough distance while still making people feel part of the action. Booking our venue was our first major step in wedding planning. We couldn't have been happier with our choice of the Van Dusen!

They also have a ton of merch vendors inside as well. While waiting for our food we decided to go see what the inside looks like where they do the shows and there wasn't much going on at the time. One of these years I'll try to catch a show as I guess it's part of the fair experience. You basically just walk in and sit wherever, which is nice. There's entrances and seats everywhere.

Walking up and down from the higher seats has no handrail so pay attention to your footing. I like watching horses from the boxes with tables so I have a place for my waters and cameras. During events there are food vendors - typical horse show food, but convenient. I like the water fountain option for refilling bottles and keeping people hydrated while keeping bottles out of the trash. There are many horse and other events throughout the year that are free to the public.

Someone on Reddit described it as feeling like a coffee shop, and the description is apt. It's clean, unfussy, and made to showcase the artist. (Good acoustics, too!) The service is great--friendly, helpful, and efficient--and the menu way more impressive than I was expecting. (They have beer, wine, and a stellar set of zero proof beverages. Love to see it!) They have a super group of artists tonight and an impressive set of shows coming up. Definitely check them out!

It definitely seems to be very community focused which I loved and the workers seemed to know most people by name too! The art and decor inside was beautiful and loved how they have snacks and drinks to keep people fueled as they work. I would love to come back in the summer when I could go on their patio which looked great. Overall awesome experience and I'll keep an eye out for their next event like this!

They had chairs lined up podium style, but I grabbed a side table on the long bench siding. Perfect! They offered a light snack of popcorn & bubble water. Nice touch. But my favorite by far is the inspirational art in the bathroom. If fired me up! Plus it's a beautiful old building! They have space above Minneapolis' Kado no Mise. Fancy! The Coven is a warm, inviting community & work space for women, non-binary, and trans people. You check in on the first floor greeted by friendly, helpful faces. They are open weekdays 8-8 and have a St Paul space in the works! They have so many interesting topics for speakers just sign up online for one of their many happenings. You can join and be a member. They have conference room and floor rentals for your own event needs! I guess you can do photoshoots there too. Just message them via their website for all of the details.

There was ample parking and once inside it was surprisingly larger than it looked from the outside. Once inside, the esthetic was quite nice, very spacious with an easy flow.

Once again the space was perfect, I am so glad to have been a witness. I said all that to say the Hutton House was a wonderful addition to this love story. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Johnson!
