Banquets of Minnesota

We attended a wedding tonight at Banquets of Minnesota, to me the old Maple Lanes Bowling Alley site. The wedding, dinner and dance were all held in one room. It worked out great. The food was vary tasty. The had Caesar salad, rolls, green beans, roasted potato, chicken and pot roast. Everything was very good I was impressed They also has a variety of cupcakes for dessert. I of course chose the chocolate chocolate one. Also very good. It was a very pretty room. Also the service people did a really nice job from filling the buffet to clearing the dishes. Very nice wedding

I have driven past this venue multiple times over the years and wondered what it was like. We were inside a couple of weeks ago for a sports banquet. The venue itself is nice and a good space for our smaller group of around 100 people. The serving was delayed because they wouldn't serve it until it was paid for. Why would you wait until everyone is there and seated and tell a group you need their credit card to make the final payment? Yes, absolutely we had it ready and paid for it, but what would they have done if we hadn't?! Our group decided on the taco bar. Be warned, the "shredded chicken" they served was actually canned chicken and was soggy. The buffet line clogged up because they didn't have the mix-ins for both sides, but all at the end of the table clustered together. Just overall, really poor quality especially for $15/person.Fast forward to our award ceremony where we are settling in and getting to desserts. The staff actually came around and took our silverware with one hand and replaced it with plastic with the other hand. I was SO confused. Then we all felt rushed like they either had another group coming or better things to do. The two stars are for the actual venue. If it was just about the food, it would be one.

Love BOM!!!!!!!!! Legit love with no questions. Leslie is absolutely incredible!!!!!!!

I have worked for the past 10 years in a professional capacity (Officiant) with Banquets of Minnesota and the level of care and professionalism deserves more than 5 stars! Every detail is taken care of from the moment you consider having your event there. Leslie is an amazing, organized stickler for details, and she makes each bride feel as if she is the ONLY bride there is in the world. The food is fantastic and the space is amazing. When my daughter got married there was no question that we would be planning our event there! Again, Leslie handled every detail like the amazing professional that she is. She has procured a staff of people who are fun, friendly and feel like they are part of the family the night of you event. I cannot recommend Banquets of Minnesota enough.
