We knew the FIVE Event Center was going to be our reception site the moment we stepped in. Its incredibly reasonably priced and has a lot of character. The brick walls, wood floors, and stone steps give it such a classic, elegant feel and is SO much better than a typical hotel ballroom. The staff (in particular Danielle) was incredible to work with. They were calm, cool, and collected the entire night which helped calm our own nerves right before everything started. They were available for questions always and got back to us right away. The two weeks leading up to the event Danielle reached out to us more than once to make sure we were doing okay and if we needed anything. Since the bar details are done through FIVE Event Center we relied heavily on their advice on how much to offer and what tastes are generally good ideas. While we didnt have a full open bar (again, we were determined to stay on our predetermined budget), Danielle helped walk us through what we could provide within our budget and worked to get us the best price. We truly couldnt have had the wedding we wanted without this event space and their fantastic staff. I would highly, highly recommend and if we were to do it over I think wed choose the venue again!

Bruce, the owner, is the reason we will never use the Five Event Center. When looking for wedding reception spots, we contacted Bruce to setup a tour for Saturday. He agreed and requested we inform him at least 30 minutes ahead if we have to cancel. After spending the morning looking at places, we found our venue, and called Bruce to cancel, 45 minutes ahead of the appointment. He said all was fine and we hung up. 5 minutes later Bruce calls back and states "This may be bad for business, but you cancelling is bulls***. I have things to do today and want you to know how rude this is to waste my time," and hung up. We opted not to call back, although he put a damper on our day. 10 minutes later I get a text from Bruce stating "Youre an a**hole." I texted him back threatening to call the cops if he did not leave us alone to which he stated "lol f*** you." Now that you know the owners true colors; I would recommend taking your business anywhere else.

I booked this venue in April of 2013 with a set wedding date of September 20, 2014. We chose to pay all of the deposit up front for the 5% discount, the total came to $3800. Unfortunately in November of 2013, my fiancé and I decided to call off our engagement. In the agreement it does state “the amount is deemed earned and non-refundable.” This is all the agreement states in regards to canceling the event. Being that I cancelled it almost a year in advance, I thought there must be something they can do about the deposit. Could they could refund it partially? Could they refund it if they booked it for another party? There was absolutely no other option than for myself to have a different event on the day of what was supposed to be my wedding day. I am very disappointed in how this company responded to the cancellation of my event.

FIVE Event center was the perfect spot for our intimate, cozy and urban winter wedding. We absolutley loved working with Danielle and all of the staff at FIVE. They went above and beyond to make our wedding just what we wanted. They were professional, always in communication and allowed some flexibility for us to make the event just the way we wanted. We loved the space, both floors, the amount of bar space and really everything. FIVE is so beautiful already that we didnt need to bring in many decorations to make it look fantastic. I would HIGHLY recommend FIVE event center for a wedding or any party. Thanks for an unbelievable night!

Recently held an event at the Five Event Center located on Bryant Avenue in Minneapolis and I came away very impressed. Everyone had a great time and loved the newly updated space. The staff was awesome and helpful, and there was plenty of room for dinner and the band. The food from Sterling Catering was also spectacular to say the least. It used to be an old police precinct and has all the character and charm of an old-school brick building, merged with a fresh new look! Another great perk is the amount of onsite and nearby parking. Id recommend Five and their caterers for any event!

The Main Street School of Performing Arts hosted its annual fundraiser SPARK the ARTS at the FIVE, and it was amazing. The staff at FIVE was able to handle all the craziness of our performers and our activities throughout the space. The catering staff was so attentive and the food was outstanding! Our event had over 160 attendees and performers and never once did we feel cramped or crowded. The space is beautiful, well maintained and so adaptable to any event. Thanks again to the whole crew at FIVE, they made it so easy.

This venue is very classy! Our event had about 225 people and it was a very comfortable fit.The space was recently remodeled and we were thrilled with the end result. We had very little decor and got many compliments on how beautiful everything was. This space was a value, the staff was friendly and accommodating and the food provided by Sterling Catering was amazing! I would highly recommend this space to anybody looking for a venue for any type of event.

Small cocktail hour area, bar takes up over half the floor. This area feels like a night club and even as someone in my early 20s did not connect with this area. Stairs are a nice touch for pictures but again big and kind of sticks out. Once you get upstairs, layout is nice but if you plan to have over 200 people at your event, its going to be a squeeze. Overall friendly staff and are willing to work with you but small-medium venue. 3/5.

This was a great space to hold an event. I have been there previously and the updates are great. Much more functional layout and design. The staff is great to work with and the service was top notch. The decor is classy and it is a warm and welcoming environment. I would not hesitate to use this space again. It was great experience and I will be recommending it to my friends when looking for a venue.

Our wedding day experience was beyond our expectations. Our family and friends were delighted. From helping envision our wedding from the first visit to the venue, to helping plan the big day, to helping bring all of it together, and making our big day more then memorable, Danielle and the Five Event Center staff were spectacular. I would highly recommend them.

Recently attended an event here and it was a great venue. The space has been recently remodeled and it was very welcoming and felt very classy! The staff at FIVE was very friendly and the food catered from Green Mill Catering was wonderful. With the new look I would recommend this space to anybody!

This building used to be an actual police station! Beautiful decor and centrally located in Uptown Minneapolis.
