    St Paul Hotel Catering - Exquisite

    We had wedding at the Landmark Center and had The St. Paul Hotel cater the event. It was amazing, to food was outstanding, and the staff we so attentive to detail - serving 200 guests. I highly recommend them - they are dependable and deliver a white glove service!

    October Nuptials

    As the mother-of-the-Bride, I was helping to find a location for a small wedding on October 31. Leslie Ingiald answered our call immediately with a gracious flair and a head for solutions to calm anyones nerves during this year's pandemic. She followed up on questions, explained how covid had modified the services available in the hotel but not the safety of its guests. She offered a tour so that we could see its uniqueness in person and suggested our wedding party book the suite and two rooms for the wedding party to get dressed and enjoy the views before the main event. She continued to follow up with me before and after the event to be sure we knew she was available to answer any questions. Following the wedding ceremony and newlywed photos in the grand stairway we ordered hors d'oeuvres and enjoyed a private dinner meal with champaign in their suite. We are so appreciative of everyone who took care to help make this day special, safe and memorable for our daughter, our new son-in-law and our guests. Thank you Leslie!

    Gorgeous venue and excellent staff!

    I couldn't be happier that we had our wedding reception at The Saint Paul Hotel. So many good things to say but I'll try to sum it up:

    --The staff were incredible. Mary Jo was professional, warm, responsive, and has a great reputation for a reason. She really knows what she's doing and we were able to totally trust her! The service at our wedding was incredible! The food was served quickly, servers were very classy, and they were so warm and went up to us several times to congratulate us and make sure everything was going well.

    --The Hotel is STUNNING! My husband and I honestly wish we had about another hour of photos just to capture the beauty of the Hotel even more/take photos in more spaces. It is so classy/elegant while still being inviting. Our guests felt at home and when I saw the ballroom for the first time, it took my breath away!

    --The food was amazing! We did late night snacks and the chocolate bar and that was a fun touch!

    The Saint Paul Hotel is truly the total package!!!

    The Saint Paul Hotel's reply:

    Hello Mara,
    Congratulations on your wedding. On behalf of the entire staff at The Saint Paul Hotel, we wish you and Scott many years of laughter and love.
    I am delighted to hear that your experience during the planning process and on your special day was a success. The team at the hotel is so proud of what they do and thrive on executing memorable events. I am happy that you, Scott and your family and friends experience just that.
    Thank you for your review, we appreciate it greatly.
    Best regards,

    Food + Service + Happines

    We used the Saint Paul Hotel as our caterer (at an offiste venue across the street) and we had basically our entire wedding staying there for the weekend. We LOVED our experience. Mary Jo is the most organized person alive and she made our wedding so smooth. We could not have asked for a more well-thought-out schedule. Also the FOOD! We constantly got comments about how good it was. I have no reservations about these guys. Definitely worth using!

    The Saint Paul Hotel's reply:

Thank you very much for choosing our hotel to cater your wedding and to house your friends and family, it means a lot to us.

    A Hearfelt Thank You

    When we began to tour different wedding venues to host our daughter and son in law’s wedding reception, we were considering location, aesthetics, atmosphere, amenities and of course the cost. What we did not consider at the time was the staff we would be interacting with throughout the planning process and the day of the wedding. Fortunately our daughter and her fiancé made a wise choice and chose the Saint Paul Hotel as their venue. We knew the hotel had a wonderful reputation for service and food, and we felt the wedding package was a fabulous option. Easy to understand and customize, and we did not have any hidden costs or surprises at the end.
    What surprised us most was how caring and wonderful the staff was to work with at the Saint Paul Hotel. We were so fortunate to have had Mary Jo to help with the coordination of the reception. She is an amazing person to work with! She has had several years of experience and knows the industry well. Mary Jo helped with menu selection, decor, and several budget friendly suggestions to help create the vision Sally and Jack had for their reception. She understood what was important to everyone, first and foremost the bride and groom, and always kept their vision in mind.
    Mary Jo was so thoughtful to include us parents in creating a special moment for us along with Sally and Jack for the first look at the dining room. It was breath taking to see . As parents, we will treasure that moment in our hearts and minds forever.
    The wait staff and bartenders were wonderful to the guests and wedding party. Sally and Jack felt very honored and in awe that the wait staff were so kind and frequently asked them if they needed anything at all. Numerous guests commented on how lovely the service was and how incredible the food tasted. The chief was quick to react to a dietary concern that we were not made aware of ahead of time, and the guest was very appreciative. The next morning we hosted a brunch at the M Street Café and again experienced wonderful food and service. Mary Jo even arranged to have the hotel staff bring some of the floral arrangements used at the reception to the cafes reserved room.
    I can truly say because of Mary Jo and the staff at the Saint Paul Hotel the whole process from planning to hosting the reception was a wonderful, joyful and stress free experience for our family.
    It was a more than we ever thought it could be. Beautiful and Magical!
    Thank you to all of the dedicated staff at the Saint Paul Hotel
    Sincerely,
    Tami and Tom

    The Saint Paul Hotel's reply:

    Thank you Tami and Tom for your very kind words about The Saint Paul Hotel and our amazing staff. I am thrilled to hear that your daughter, son in law, yourself and your family and friends had a magical experience and that you were impressed by the entire journey of the planning process. We sincerely appreciate you choosing The Saint Paul Hotel and for your heartfelt review.

    Sincerely,
    Leslie

    Stop what you are doing and book your ceremony and/or reception at The Saint Paul Hotel!!! We had both our ceremony and reception at The Saint Paul Hotel and could not recommend it more! We toured several venues in Saint Paul and were a bit reluctant to book a tour at The Saint Paul Hotel because we weren't sure if it would work for our budget. However, after visiting many venues, we realized many of them wanted to "nickel and dime" us for table linens, chairs, cake cutting fees, etc. - not at The Saint Paul Hotel! We found their wedding package to be a steal as it includes A LOT more than most other venues -and no "nickel and diming". After viewing the gorgeous Promenade ballroom and talking to Mary Jo Maloney for one minute, we knew it was the absolute perfect place to have our wedding! Mary Jo was an absolute DREAM to work with - you can tell she is truly passionate about her job and really cares about her clients. She was always so willing to meet with us at the hotel and answer emails/phone calls for any questions we had before our wedding day, was VERY attentive to detail, and made our wedding day absolutely PERFECT!!!! She is truly the best in the business - many of our vendors had worked with Mary Jo multiple times and were highly complimentary of her and the entire team at the hotel. Mary Jo takes on the role of contacting all of your vendors before the wedding day - photographer, florist, videographer, etc. and helps to make sure they know where to go, understand the timeline, etc.! The food and wait staff were also SO amazing - many of our guests commented on how attentive the wait staff was and how smoothly our day/timeline went compared to other venues they had attended weddings at. Thank you, Mary Jo and all staff at The Saint Paul Hotel for making our wedding day so special and memorable for us! We will cherish these memories forever and are so excited to come back for many anniversaries to come!

    I had a New Years wedding at the SPH in the ballroom. I could not have dreamed of a more beautiful and elegant wedding even if I had tried. The space is already magnificent, and they still had all their holiday decorations up during our wedding. The food is fabulous - even our DJ said it was some of the best wedding food he's ever had. The service is second to none. The entire wait staff was amazing, and I had guests telling me weeks later how great their waiter was. We got ready in the bridal suite, and the experience was straight out of a movie. Our coordinator, Rachelle, unfortunately doesn't do weddings anymore, but she was wonderful to work with! I knew we made the right decision when we had people telling us, "this is the classiest wedding I've ever been to."

    We had a very positive experience locking in a rate for our guests to book rooms. Other hotels downtown would not offer a guaranteed rate or even block rooms so we were happy that the Saint Paul Hotel did since they were our first pick. The hotel staff was beyond accommodating with our group. The shuttle was booked easily to run guests to our venue, gifts were delivered to rooms of out of town guests without incident, and they even passed out information to guests upon arrival/check in that we had put together ahead of time. I was very happy with the Bridal Suite and would definitely recommend for smaller wedding parties to get ready in.

    I have no idea why anyone would get married anywhere else...The Saint Paul Hotel is amazing, and not just for the beauty and history, but for the service. Once you set foot in the hotel, you and your wedding guests are completely taken care of -- there is not a detaail or request left unattended to. Not only did we hold our reception in the Promenade Ballroom, but we also got married in the hotel, and I reserved the L'etoile Bridal Suite to get ready in. Our contact at the hotel, Mary Jo, was exceptional. Every vendor we worked with, from flowers to DJ, to photobooth, knew Mary Jo and had nothing but great things to say about her. Mary Jo clearly loves her job and is great at it -- she walked my husband and I through every step of the planning process -- it made wedding-planning nearly stress free and allowed us to truly enjoy the day. On top of the great service, the St. Paul Hotel provides delicious catering. Our guests have not stopped raving about the passed appetizers, their meals, and the late night snacks. And brides, if it's available, I 100% recommend getting ready in the bridal suite -- it will not only make your day less stressful, but the room is so beautiful -- it truly makes you feel like a bride. 100% would recommended the Saint Paul Hotel to any couple who's getting married.

    We had our ceremony and reception at the hotel. All I can say is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! One of our greatest experiences at the hotel was working with Mary Jo Maloney. From the very beginning of planning our wedding she made us feel so welcomed and comfortable. Her planning and knowledge was spot on, we were beyond impressed with her. Mary Jo was there from the beginning of booking to the day of making sure everything was perfect. The rest of the staff was great, they were all very accommodating to our guests making sure they were comfortable. We will cherish our memories of working with everyone at the hotel and the beautiful wedding that we had here.

    We had the best experience with Mary Jo at the Saint Paul Hotel! So much so that this was the second wedding in our family that we had there. Mary Jo was so fabulous to work with and the end result was more than we could have ever imagined. Everything was perfect from beginning to end. She was able to capture exactly what we wanted and then some. Of all of the vendors we worked with during the planning stages, the Saint Paul Hotel was the most accommodating and had the best response time of anyone. We felt confident that we could leave most everything up to Mary Jo to handle and she certainly delivered! Our families and I would highly recommend having your wedding (or any event) at the Saint Paul Hotel!!

    Heidi and her crew at the Saint Paul Hotel were SO great to work with from start to finish. They were always responsive to emails and phone calls. They worked with me to find the right suite for our wedding night and were always so polite and pleasant to deal with. We had nice little notes welcoming us and congratulating us when we checked in. Our guests raved about their responsiveness for anything that was needed. They were only $40 more per night than the other hotel we used and the guests that stayed at the Saint Paul Hotel had a MUCH more pleasant stay. We also did our Sunday brunch with them, which was perfect. Barb was great to work with to find the right items in our budget and the food was great. The room was set up well so we could eat and mingle as we pleased. I would HIGHLY recommend the Saint Paul Hotel for a wedding night room and a room block!

    I had so many people come up to me and thank me for inviting them to my wedding because it was the best wedding they'd ever been to. The food was above and beyond delicious, the ballroom was gorgeous, and Mary Jo (wedding coordinator) is the sweetest, kindest woman to work with who helped me create a dream wedding. NO COMPLAINTS. No one does weddings better than The Saint Paul Hotel.

    The St. Paul Hotel was a lovely location to stay on our wedding night! We set up a room rate for our guests in advance and everyone as wowed by the caliber of hotel this was. The rooms were impeccable and the service spectacular. Heidi was our hotel contact throughout the process and she was extremely helpful in answering questions, keeping us up to date on who had booked under our rate reservation and very professional from the get-go. I was very happy with the service and treatment our small group of guests received from them! We will stay there again!

    We had a wonderful experience with the Saint Paul Hotel as the location for our wedding reception. The food was wonderful. Mary Jo was beyond professional, kind, and helpful. She helped us create a very memorial night. There is not a thing I would have changed. As nervous out of town wedding planners, we felt calm knowing Mary Jo had everything covered.

    The St. Paul Hotel was EXCELLENT. Mary Jo is on top of everything up to the point where you go in for dinner. From there, she hands it off to Chelsea, who leads the team for the rest of the evening. Seamless! Like clockwork, the food came out, the food was cleaned up, the butlers were excellent. We really have no complaints about the hotel. And, for the price, it exceeded all other hotels in the cities. We compared it to places such as the Hilton and the Holiday Inn. The minimum was the same, but the feel and ambiance of the space was deliciously better. Choose the St. Paul over anything else!

    We had our wedding reception in the Promenade Ballroom at the Saint Paul Hotel and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Barbara and her team made the whole process of planning the reception easy and we ended up with a flawless evening. We had a few requests that we made of the hotel and they were able to accommodate all of them, something that made our wedding day so much easier and validated my choice to go with a higher cost venue. We got so many compliments on the food served, the staff was so flexible and helpful on every step of the way and the venue was of course, beautiful. I truly had no stress on my wedding day and couldn't have been happier!

    we spent the night at The Saint Paul Hotel after we got hitched. We wanted a night away from our guests at a different hotel because we wanted it to be "special." Our room was mediocre (the lobby is GORGEOUS!) and the view from our room overlooked the roof. When I booked the reservation in January (because I KNEW we NEEDED to stay at the STP hotel), the receptionist said that they would do something "special" for our day. We did not receive anything to recognize our wedding. We were offered an upgrade for $200 but for only 9 hours in the room, we decided not to take it. We ordered breakfast in bed which, as a MAJOR breakfast fanatic, was only OK. I am currently a medical student and with a late night sandwich and 2 breakfast entrees, our bill was WAY too expensive. I am so disappointed :( Our only regret of our wedding day.

    My daughter had her wedding in the café downstairs because on the upper room was previously booked. Our guests were separated into two rooms. It was not good, many of them felt left out. The dinner food was delicious however, some tables received the two different kinds of wedding cake and our table received only one kind. The food served later in the evening, pizza and macaroni &cheese, were not very tasty. There was only one bartender and it took guests quite long to get a drink. I did ask the wedding planner if there was another bartender but she never got back to me. I love the St. Paul Hotel, the guest rooms are beautiful but I was very disappointed in the MCafe for a wedding reception.
