A Beautiful Victorian Wedding at our Stillwater Hotel

We’re confident that none of the other Minnesota wedding venues near Stillwater can bring the same grand sense of Victorian style to your special day that we can. Thankfully, the stunning natural beauty of the St. Croix River and the Stillwater Lift Bridge sets the backdrop. Our location right in the central downtown area makes getting to and from our wedding venue in MN a breeze. You’ll love being able to slip upstairs to your honeymoon suite after your big event comes to a close.

Here are the best things to know about planning a Victorian wedding at the Water Street Inn:

1. We offer multiple venues for your ceremony when you choose our Stillwater Hotel. There are various configurations for events in our large Grand Ballroom (maximum 250 guests), with three different layouts depending on the size of your event. Papa’s Rooftop is one of the more unique locations with sweeping views of the river and the historic bridge (maximum 150 guests). Our experienced wedding planner will show you all of the possible options so you can best envision your event.
2. It’s all about the details! At our venue, we provide tables, chairs, linens, and tableware for all events. You won’t find these all-inclusive wedding packages just anywhere, but it’s an important offering to relieve excess stress or worry. You’ll work closely with our event planner and staff to pick the layout that best fits your Victorian wedding. This also gives those on a strict budget the option of choosing an affordable wedding venue without compromising on style or elegance.
3. Catering takes place on-site, and we offer anything from breakfast buffets and lunch spreads to gourmet plated dinners, carving stations, and high-end gourmet additions. If there’s something you imagine being served on your big day, we’d love to accommodate if we can. No Victorian wedding is complete without an abundant feast! This element puts your mind at ease, without having to weigh outside catering options.
4. Plus, you’ll find additional dining options at Charlie’s Restaurant & Irish Pub or Papa’s Rooftop. Two of the best restaurants in Stillwater. We even host live music in the pub, and the view from the rooftop is such a romantic place for a pre- or post-wedding day date.
5. We also provide all beverage options, from bottled and kegged beer, wine, Champagne, and specialty mixed drinks. If there’s a classic craft cocktail that would have been popular at Victorian weddings, we could add that to the list, too! Our amazing on-staff bartenders are always on hand to serve your wedding guests with a smile. With on-site lodging, your guests can indulge without worrying about driving after your celebration.
6. Take advantage of our spacious hotel and book a block of guest rooms for your Victorian wedding day for your closest family and friends. Not only is this convenient for your guests, but it also adds an element of camaraderie and relaxation. Be sure to chat with your wedding planner about booking overnight accommodations.
