FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What is your maximum capacity?

The Nicollet Island Inn can accommodate up to 200 guests with the Innkeepers for the Night: Property Buyout option.

On our event floor (which includes both the Island Room and St. Anthony Room), the maximum guest count for any event is 150 for meal services or 175 for cocktail receptions. Please note, with any more than 120 guests, your party will be dining in BOTH banquet rooms, which are separate spaces. At this time, capacity restrictions may be in place due to local mandates.

How do I schedule a tour?

We’d love to show you around! Please submit the inquiry form above and we will reach out with our next available tour dates.

Do you provide catering and bar service? Can I provide my own/use my own vendor?

We provide all catering in-house from our fine dining restaurant, along with bar service. We do not allow outside vendors. If you are interested in serving a particular style of food or brand of liquor please inform your event coordinator.

Are there food & beverage minimums?

Yes. All events at the Nicollet Island Inn are subject to a food & beverage minimum. Minimums vary by package type and may be subject to increase on holidays. All minimums are to be met prior to applicable taxes & fees.

Do I need a wedding coordinator/planner?

We suggest it! The Inn provides a Catering Manager to coordinate the venue set-up and our staff. A wedding planner can help you arrange each and every detail from your color scheme and party favors to managing contact with your vendors. A day-of coordinator will keep your big day on schedule and help eliminate any last-minute mishaps. We’re happy to work with both to bring your dream wedding to life!

Do you have preferred vendors for photographers, florists, DJs, officiants, makeup artists, etc.?

For any vendors other than catering service - which is provided by the restaurant at Nicollet Island Inn - we invite you to use whomever you feel will best suit your needs and vision. We’d be happy to provide a list of our favorite vendor friends to give you some suggestions! Any hiring or payment of vendors is the responsibility of the client and all vendors are subject to the terms of Nicollet Island Inn’s event agreement.

What is your venue doing in response to COVID-19?

Our venue acts in accordance with all city and state mandates and guidelines.

What is the deposit and how do I pay it?

When you are ready to move forward, your event coordinator will send you a proposal to review all inclusions in your package and estimated costs. To save your date, we require the venue rental fee (otherwise known as the retainer) to be paid in full and our venue rental agreement to be signed. Both payment and your signature will be collected digitally through our secure online portal. The retainer is non-refundable.

What if we need to postpone our wedding? What is your cancellation policy?

The venue rental fee paid as your retainer to save the date is non-refundable. If you need to postpone the big day, your pre-payment is transferrable to any available date at our venue within 12 months of your original event date. A rebooking fee will apply for all non-COVID related postponements. Transferred/postponed bookings may be subject to menu and pricing changes.
