Avenue Rooms @ Sheraton Minneapolis Downtown
After the ceremony, we’ll ease into the evening with drinks, light bites, and time to mingle.
This is a great chance to grab a cocktail, reconnect with family, meet a few new faces, and enjoy the space while we sneak away for photos. No formal agenda here — just good conversation, a few cheers, and the beginning of the party.
Whether you know everyone in the room or only know us, we hope this hour gives you time to feel settled, welcomed, and ready for dinner.
