Long Guest List? Here Are 36 Awesome Large Wedding Venues in the Twin Cities

If you have a guest list of 120 or more, you’re in the right place. Let’s find you an awesome large wedding venue in the Twin Cities, MN metro!

I’ve laid out the basics for 36 wedding venues that offer a larger seated capacity, organized by ✨aesthetic✨. No matter which venues speak to you on this list, I of course did my due diligence as a photographer and only shared great shot spots! 🙂 

A note before we get started: Not every venue provides the same amenities, so price is a starting indicator, but may not be the whole story. I’ve done my best to link to listed pricing, which often will tell you what is included in the venue rental. If a place looks interesting to you but looks out of your budget, it may still be worth taking a look!
