The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, I loved the exposed brick and two levels!! The reason for 3 stars was working with the team who owns this location was absolutely horrible. We went through 3 different location coordinators who quit, and weren't notified when they changed. The person who ended up working on my wedding day didn't listen to anything we asked for, talked over us numerous times at our meeting, and ignored my wedding coordinator's suggestions. She told us multiple times that she "didn't know the venue" because she technically worked at another location. If you end up holding your wedding here, do NOT rely on any help from the location, make sure to hire your own wedding coordinator!!!

Victoria and team were very professional at all times. We appreciated her transparency throughout the entire process. “They understood the assignment.” Our guest were so pleased and impressed with the venue, catering and staff. I highly recommend FIVE Event Center for your next celebration. Victoria made planning seamless. Thank you FIVE.

FIVE hosted our wedding recently, and we could not have had a better experience. Victoria was phenomenal. She listened to our needs, was quick to respond to our questions, worked well with our day of coordinator, and helped bring our vision to life. Several of our guests commented on how smoothly the day went. The space itself is beautiful, close to several places for guests to explore, and near many lakes for photos. We highly recommend FIVE Event Center for any event!

Our wedding at FIVE was everything we imagined and more! The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and my favorite part was it really speaks for itself, doesn’t need much added! It was important to us to have our wedding in the city. I still can’t believe how affordable FIVE is compared to other venue. Our guests and family loved it! We had 155 people and it was spacious for everyone. We truly could not have had such of a great wedding without Victoria, the venue coordinator. She was responsive and quick to answer all my questions! She went above beyond in every single aspect of the day. Anyone would be so lucky to have her there for their special day!

We just had a wedding in October of 2023 and everything could not have been more perfect. Victoria from the venue was so organized, helpful, and executed our plans perfectly... going above and beyond all day, even helping with some decor. This space is so beautiful, clean, and spacious. Both the cater and bartenders were wonderful as well. Five Event Center made the wedding day truly low-stress and we would do it all over again with them. Thank you!!

We loved our experience at The Five! This venue had everything we needed, room for getting ready, downtown feeling, a nice inviting space for our guests, and it was affordable! We loved working with their staff and felt well taken care of and listened to. The photos were STUNNING in their space. Can’t recommend it enough!

We had such an amazing experience with FIVE Event Center for our wedding. The venue is beautiful and has so much character and was the perfect size for our guest count (125) - spacious enough not to feel crowded but still intimate and inviting. Their catering partner DECO was awesome and the venue manager Victoria was fantastic to work with. We couldn't have imagined a better day and we would absolutely hold another event at FIVE!

This was a fantastic space for our wedding reception.The speaker system could use an upgrade, but it is by no means a deal breaker.There was some difficulty with communication on the day of the reception, but we are partly at fault for this.The staff takes themselves seriously, which can be both good and bad, and they very clearly take pride in their work

My husband and I got married and had our reception here last month. Everything was so great! Victoria was very helpful in asking how we wanted the space set up, walking us through what the day would look like, and helping us have a very smooth wedding experience! Victoria was professional, had clear and timely communication, and was very helpful in making sure things were set up correctly. She even took some photos and videos of our day and sent them to us!I would highly recommend this space for your wedding and/or reception! The brick walls and wood floors are beautiful and the downstairs bar area is perfect for cocktail hour (and chic looking wedding photos). We had a lot of guests compliment the beauty of the space. 10/10 would recommend FIVE Event Center and their team!

Bryant lake bowl pride block party, Minneapolis Pride on the Friday during pride week is a must. Crowd is alternate, fun, and there to have a good time! Local bands, djs and drag performers that are lined up to perform are local top talent. One of Minneapolis pride weekend best kept secret.

The space has a main and second floor. There were big windows that let a lot of natural light it which was nice. They had family style restrooms upstairs and a men and womens on the main floor. There was a bar/sink area in the middle of the front of the upstairs area which could be great, unfortunately for the event I went to the middle bar made it a bit difficult for people on the other side of the room to seem what was going on. Overall great and I loved the giant mirror they had on the stair case landing.

I can not recommend this venue enough! I recently took part in a fashion show hosted at FIVE Event Center, and I was blown away by the beautiful space, the atmosphere they created there, and their wonderful venue manager Victoria. She was SO kind and helpful throughout the evening. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

What an amazing wedding Five is and everything is perfect. The bathrooms are clean and all of the windows look like they had just been washed. Every detail was taken care of perfectly.The management and staff are beyond friendly and the layout is perfect! The acoustics made the sound of my speakers. So delightful. I received two compliments about the quality of the sound.

After planning a themed formal, as the Executive Director of Social Events for the Minnesota Alpha Chapter of Pi Beta Phi, I have nothing but good things to say about FIVE. The facility was classy, clean, and a perfect size for a large event (115 guests). Operations Manager Olivia Beaudry was a wonderful and accessible source throughout the planning process, and made the event everything I could have asked for and more! Would highly recommend this facility and staff to anyone planning an event in Minneapolis.
