Weddings at The Great Hall

Renovated in 1986, The Great Hall Banquet & Conference Center has recaptured its turn-of-the-century style and grace.

Imagine making your grand entrance under a three story atrium, down a sweeping mirrored escalator, to a room full of loving friends and family. The spacious atrium (9,450 square feet) features stunning classic architecture, terrazzo and marble floors, and four large chandeliers beneath skylights of translucent glass set in a coffered plaster ceiling.

The Great Hall is located at the 180 East Fifth builing, an architectural gem of historical Lowertown St. Paul

180 East Fifth is a spectacular 13 story office and special events facility is fitted with all the latest digital technologies. Located in the heart of the city it has remained a landmark address and the largest building foot-print in St Paul since 1910. The building was designed in 1914 by Charles Frost and built by railroad entrepreneur James. J. Hill. Originally, the building housed Northern Pacific Railroad on one side and Great Northern Railroad on the other, with the atrium (Great Hall), home to First National Bank, separating the two companies.
