Vadnais Heights Commons

Everything about the venue is amazing! It's absolutely beautiful, spacious, and is a wonderful space to host a wedding. A couple things that are hard have to do with things the city has in place. They are very strict with what you can and cannot do within the venue. As long as you are flexible, it is fine but some things may be hard for some couples (no glitter, etc). Also, on top of the general venue fees they also charge a 12% venue fee for the food, beverage, and decorating caterers. So it is 12% of the food, beverage, and decorating costs which are also separate from those caterers service fees. Just a lot of fees that add up in the end. Beyond that, Lorah and her team at the Commons are great to work with! They were very knowledgeable and fairly prompt in answering questions or concerns that we had. Amy worked with us day of as our event coordinator and she was marvelous. She stepped in when needed and helped the day run smoothly! Overall, a great experience!

The Vadnais Commons was a perfect place for us to have my daughters wedding. It is a spacious but warm location with windows on two full sides of the main reception area. The entry and cocktail area is beautiful with the fireplace and, in December it had a beautiful tree with white lights where many guests took photos. Through the use of vendors, Grand Designs and Flore Inspired, we transformed the room into an elegant, breathtaking experience for our 265 guests. Creative Catering worked wonders with the food and we got many compliments. Spicy Meatball took amazing photos and also as the DJ kept the guest dancing until the very end. Photo booth Creations made an amazing guest book and Walter Mueller Studio has awed us with the wedding video. When you visit Vadnais Commons it is important to keep in mind how it will be with everything set up and how you can build your own vision. We loved it and so did our guests.

My husband and I had both our ceremony and reception at the Commons and it was gorgeous- we received so many compliments about how beautiful both the ceremony and reception was. Our wedding was in December, and the floor-to-ceiling windows as the commons were perfect for us to watch the snow falling outside :). Lorah at the Commons was incredibly helpful in planning the day, helping us changeover the ballroom from ceremony to reception and giving us vendor recommendations. She thinks of everything! I would highly recommend VHC to brides looking for a more modern venue that you can personalize to your taste and style!

My husband and I had a great experience at the Vadnais Heights Commons. The venue was clean and beautiful and the staff was friendly and high energy. Communication during the planning process was effortless. Lorah (the wedding coordinator) was super easy to get ahold of and offered sound advice along every step of the way. When we first booked our wedding reception at VHC, we were given a list of “preferred vendors” to select the various necessary services from. That list was super helpful, and it made our planning so much easier! There were suggestions that could accommodate all budgets, and the vendors worked with us to make sure we were able to get what we wanted for the price we were willing to pay. Our wedding reception panned out exactly as we had imagined, and we would HIGHLY recommend the commons to anyone planning a wedding!
