Micro Wedding Receptions in the Twin Cities: Celebrate Your Way
Intimate celebrations. Personal touches. Your kind of wedding.
Your Wedding Reception, Your Way: The Freedom to Celebrate Differently
One of the best things about planning a micro wedding reception is realizing that there really aren't any rules about what your celebration has to look like.
Who says a wedding reception needs a formal sit-down dinner, assigned seating, a traditional timeline, or an elaborate wedding package?
At The Bonus Room in Downtown Lakeville, Minnesota, we believe your wedding celebration should reflect you.
Want to hire a professional caterer to create an incredible dining experience? Absolutely. Prefer to bring in food from your
favorite local restaurant, put together your own grazing boards, or have family members contribute favorite dishes? You can do that, too.
Want to hire a wedding planner or event stylist to transform the space into something extraordinary? Bring in the professionals you love. Would you rather decorate the space yourself, create your own playlist, and host a relaxed celebration with your closest friends and family? That works, too.
It's your wedding reception. You get to decide what makes it special
A Wedding Reception Doesn't Have to Be a Formal Dinner
One of our favorite ideas for a micro wedding is an open-house-style wedding reception.
Imagine exchanging vows privately, at a courthouse, in a church, or at a meaningful location, and then inviting your favorite
people to celebrate afterward.
Instead of a formal plated dinner, your reception might include:
An afternoon open house with appetizers, desserts, and refreshments
A cocktail-style gathering with high-top tables, music, and mingling
A champagne toast and wedding cake celebration
A casual brunch reception with family and friends
A beautiful grazing table and an evening of conversation
A relaxed reception where guests can come and go throughout the celebration
No assigned seating. No elaborate dinner service. No pressure to follow a traditional wedding timeline.
Just a beautiful space, the people you love, and an opportunity to celebrate your marriage.
Bring Your Own Food. Choose Your Own Vendors. Make It Yours.
Many traditional wedding venues have required catering companies, beverage packages, or preferred vendors.
At The Bonus Room, you have the flexibility to bring your own food and beverages, arrange your own catering, and
choose the vendors who fit your vision, all within our venue guidelines.
You can keep things beautifully simple or create something more elaborate.
Hire a professional wedding stylist, bring in your favorite florist, work with a local caterer, or plan and decorate the celebration yourself.
The Bonus Room provides the private gathering space and amenities. You create the experience.
And because our venue accommodates up to 49 guests, it's especially well suited for couples looking for a small wedding
reception venue in the Twin Cities, Minnesota's South Metro, or the Lakeville area
Celebrate the Marriage, Not the Expectations
Whether you're planning your first wedding, celebrating a second marriage, renewing your vows, or gathering loved ones after an intimate ceremony, your reception doesn't have to look like anyone else's.
Maybe you want an elegant evening with flowers and candle-inspired lighting.
Maybe you want pizza, cupcakes, and your favorite people.
Maybe you simply want somewhere beautiful to gather after saying “I do.”
Small wedding. Big celebration. Completely your way.
