We booked The Graduate for our wedding in December and it was awesome. We had a lot of guest in from out of town so being able to do everything at one venue was very convenient for everyone. We worked with Michael W. and he was very helpful throughout the entire process. We had a couple of hiccups but Michael was able to get things squared for us. All in all we had a great experience and so did our guests. I would highly recommend.

She listened to our vision and went above and beyond to bring it to life, ensuring that every aspect of our wedding was executed flawlessly. On the day of the wedding, Becca was a calming presence, coordinating with all the vendors and making sure everything ran on schedule. She handled any hiccups with grace and professionalism, allowing us to focus on enjoying our special moments with family and friends. The food was delicious, and the service was impeccable!

My husband and I were married 9.4.21 at the East Town Ballroom. Cathy and Dee (David) were outstanding, full of knowledge and ready to help whenever needed. Response time was always quick and efficient. The venue offers the option for either an indoor or outdoor wedding, the reception area is large and beautiful with the drapery and lights. The space allows for a number of layouts. The social hour and bar space is great with close proximity but eliminates any crowding in the reception space. The venue is VERY affordable and you don't need to hire an outside caterer. There are options to fit a variety of wedding desires, you can really mold the services to make your dream wedding. I cannot emphasize enough the convenience of having our wedding ceremony, reception and room block in one place. You won't be disappointed if you choose the East Town Ballroom. My husband and I were also able to capture great photos with the skyline from the rooftop parking garage.

  • On-site parking not available
  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists
  • Not wheelchair accessible
After touring over 10 venues in Rochester, Stillwater and the Twin Cities, we discovered that many of the representatives seemed disconnected to the venue and we were often meeting with people that were not the events coordinator. In general there was a lack of enthusiasm for the business we were prepared to give them with hosting 200 plus guests, providing a seated dinner, full bar and hiring live music. Then, we met with Amanda and Souliman to tour the Kahler Grand Hotel. From the first communication we could sense something was different and were looking forward to our meeting. From the first handshake there was a positive energy and they helped us to feel as if we were their only customer. They both gave us a tour of the various rooms available to have a ceremony and reception. They were thorough in providing details and we were not left guessing about costs. They were able to answer all of our questions without deferring to other entities. Amanda and Souliman had knowledge, autonomy and authority to make decisions without needing to cut through several levels of bureaucracy. Their policies were designed to benefit the customer and we did not feel anything was being hidden from us at any point during the planning process. We feel they put our needs first and were some of the most professional individuals we encountered throughout the venue search. We were planning a wedding with a separate ceremony and reception space, but did not want our guests to have to drive to and from several locations. With the variety of different event spaces, the Kahler Grand Hotel met those requirements as well as being connected to the hotel rooms. In addition, they are connected to the Marriot. The hotel room tour showed that their renovations are almost complete and would have been by the time of our wedding. The rooms are modern, well-appointed and we felt the accommodations would be impressive and comfortable for guests. Our food tasting exceeded our expectations as there were many food choices and quality taste. They were able to accommodate a time when our parents would be visiting form out of state. Their bar policies were fair, reasonable and they happily entertained our unusual request to procure a barrel of local whiskey. All of these things were top notch, what we were looking for and surprisingly under our budget. However, we cannot emphasize enough how Amanda and Soulaiman were the reason we chose to book our wedding at the Kahler Grand Hotel. Unfortunately, we had to cancel our wedding due to COVID-19 and it was hard to make this decision because of having such a positive experience. They were gracious, understanding and made the termination of our contract easy. We recommend the Kahler Grand Hotel as top choice for weddings! Thank you, Jessica and Chris

The Radisson Blu Fargo was amazing to work with for our wedding reception! We ended up moving our wedding date due to Covid and they were extremely accommodating for not only us but for our guests and their rooms as well. As we got closer to the day, their communication was very kind, clear, responsive, and detailed, making our reception go very smoothly. All possible planning details were considered and they did everything they could to make our day very special! On the day of our reception, the wedding coordinator made herself very available, made sure we had everything we needed, and made sure everything was going according to plan. Overall, the food, venue, and staff exceeded our expectations! We would highly recommend the Radisson Blu Fargo to anyone considering using their space for any event in the future!

Our guests are still raving about how delicious everything was. The steak, in particular, was grilled to perfection, and we received numerous compliments on its tenderness and flavor. The au gratin potatoes were a total hit, pleasing everyone, and the desserts from the in-house bakery were both mouth watering and stunning. The entire dining experience was top-notch, and it's safe to say that Madden's culinary team surpassed all expectations.

The pavilion at Madden's took our breath away - it was simply stunning and needed minimal decor to shine. Our guests were wowed by its beauty! Having Gull Lake as the backdrop for our ceremony was a dream come true, and the cherry on top was the pontoon cruise we enjoyed with our wedding party during cocktail hour. It was an unforgettable experience! We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the entire staff at Madden's on Gull Lake for making our wedding weekend the most memorable and magical experience of our lives. Their attention to detail, culinary expertise, and dedication to ensuring our happiness were second to none. If you're looking for a dream wedding destination with exceptional staff, mouthwatering food, and breathtaking surroundings, Madden's on Gull Lake is the perfect choice.
