The Heart of the Celebration

After their heartfelt The Bakken Museum wedding ceremony, Kristen and Spud brought their celebration downtown for an unforgettable Paris Dining Club wedding in Minneapolis.

If The Bakken Museum reflected calm and nature, Paris Dining Club was pure modern romance. Its warm lighting, stunning chandelier, and relaxed ambiance created the perfect setting for their dinner reception. As the evening began, the air felt alive — filled with laughter, music, and the soft clinking of glasses.

Every Detail Told a Story

Kristen and Spud wanted their reception to feel cozy and elegant, and Paris Dining Club delivered beautifully. Long tables lined with candles and soft florals by Pansy Floral filled the space. The design was simple but full of intention — a perfect reflection of their style.

Guests gathered over cocktails and conversation, the room buzzing with warmth. Between courses, toasts began — some funny, some tearful, all deeply heartfelt. Each story shared by friends and family made the night feel even more personal.

After dinner, the night flowed easily — conversations melting into laughter, friends swaying gently to the music, candles burning low as the city lights twinkled outside. It was exactly how a wedding reception should feel: intimate, joyful, completely authentic.
