My wife and I enjoyed creating a beautiful event for ourselves and our guests . The venue staff were terrible. The venue manager was awful at responding to emails, didn’t remember our event details, and didn’t tell us until our rehearsal dinner that she wouldn’t be at our wedding. The man that managed our wedding was incredibly rude and unhelpful. Beautiful venue but not worth the abysmal service from the management.

My fiancé and I toured the place last year and it seemed like a great fit for our wedding in May 2023. Unfortunately in November we found out from our caterer that Lowertown Event Center was closing. Finally after getting an email blast with the closing announcement, we have yet to hear back from the owner about any deposit refunds or alternative arrangements. That was 2 months ago and she hasn’t responded to any contact attempts since.

As a vendor who came to this venue to serve a client, I was appalled at the way the Venue Manager Charisse treated myself and my client. She left me a voicemail saying that the client didn't know what she was talking about and was extremely condescending in emails. The day of the event, my client arrived and the venue was dirty. The bartender and the bartender's boyfriend who were working were eating my client's desserts without her permission. They did not bus or clear a single glass or can from the tables during dinner and the reception even though they were the bar service. There was a huge bar line before the dance started and the bartender was in the back office eating the client's dinner catering without her permission. Overall I was shocked at the level of unprofessionalism as it was at a level I had never seen in my life.

Nice venue, but awful venue manager. She will lie to your face about all of the things she will provide, but not follow through. We were promised 2 professional bartenders, and we got a gentlemen who had never bartended in his life. Turns out he was the assistant’s boyfriend. Avoid at all costs.

AVOID AVOID AVOID.My brother's wedding was held here. The wedding itself was amazing, and the day was so much fun- thanks to absolutely no one on staff here. The venue had to be cleaned by the wedding party when we arrived the morning of the wedding, the bartender was a random person who we don't even know if he was licensed, and the prices of drinks went up as the night progressed, sketchy sketchy business practices galore. The bride's parents were called vulgar names when they asked for an itemized bill to see what was consumed during the reception (partially because they noticed none of the "bartenders" were keeping track of consumption.. at all).TLDR: This place is as Randy Moss would say "Straight trash, homie".

My friend had her wedding here and she was absolutely terrible to work with and completely screwed my friend over. I would warn anyone to stay away!

The event center itself is beautiful, but the staff overall did the absolute minimum they could have.

I love Shooting weddings at Lowertown Event Center! It was such a treat to shoot at a venue I had never been to before and I was very pleased with how the owners were present all day to help out my clients along the way!

This venue was dated, dingey and dark. Nothing like getting married in a basement lol. Bathrooms were absolutely atrocious.

It was ladies night! This was my first time going. Great 70's 80's and 90's R& BMusic. I had a ball and plan on returning. I have to give them a thumbs up

We recently had a our wedding reception at Lowertown Event Center and it was everything we could have dreamed of for our special day! The setup and decor was perfect - open concept with exposed brick, cool lighting & fun furniture. There are 2 small alcoves in the back of the main room that were perfect for our dessert display and our photo booth setup. There were also plenty of large couches, chairs and coffee tables for guests to hang out / lounge during the evening. The bar and DJ set up was right next to the dance floor which was a perfect flow and kept people on or near the dance floor all night long! The owner and our main contact, Charice was so helpful during the whole process and made sure everything went extremely smoothly day off. I would highly recommend Lowertown Event Center to anyone looking for an affordable, beautiful, rustic, venue in the city!

My wife and I are thrilled with our experience hosting our wedding at LEC. Charice and her staff were very accommodating and great to work with throughout the entire process. The space is located in the basement but, it's exposed architectural features in a historic building of downtown St Paul make it very unique and pretty.One of our favorite things about this venue is that Charice doesn't hide any fees, and minimums do not exist. It was very easy to plan everything and work within our wedding budget.Another thing we loved is that Charice has a great list of vendors, which we utilized quite a bit. Aside from the Catering options and LEC bar service, we were free to use any other vendors for cake, photography, DJ service, etc.There were a few hiccups on our wedding day, but that's always expected and the LEC staff worked hard to make sure everything ran smoothly. It turned out to be a beautiful day at a beautiful venue.
