What is The Luminare: The Luminare is a brand new Wedding + Event Venue located in Minneapolis, Minnesota that offers a minimalist, industrial modern warehouse vibe that is the perfect customizable blank canvas for any event. With over 11,000 square feet of a totally open flor plan, the venue can host a number of different types of nuptial events including ceremonies, receptions, engagement parties, wedding showers, day after brunches, and rehearsal dinners. The space can accommodate smaller more intimate gatherings, or larger parties of up to 275 guests seated, or 500 reception style. Interior aesthetics are driven by the abundance of beautiful natural day-time light throughout from the many windows and skylights, and at night, the interior glows from the overhead cafe lights, colorful accent up lighting, and of course the tabletop candles. The 26 foot tall ceilings and white walls add to the illumination effect, which is what inspired our venue name, The Luminare.
