Minnesota Valley Country Club maintains a conservative policy concerning the service of alcoholic beverages to
persons who appear to have had too much to drink. As host, you are accountable for the behavior of your guests,
so you should be aware of the Dram Shop Law. This law puts the liability directly on the server of alcoholic
beverages, if an intoxicated individual causes damage, injury, or death as a result of too much to drink. The host of
the event is also liable. The Club will ID anyone under the age of 40.

MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT
The Catering Department will be pleased to recommend music and entertainment, or you can make your own
arrangements. It is very important for the entertainer to contact the Catering Department prior to your event for
important set-up information, etc. All Bands or DJ’s must set up before the arrival of your guests. A meal is not
provided by MVCC for the entertainers. If your entertainer expects a meal, it needs to be pre-arranged with the
Catering Department at the client’s cost.

Functions engaging entertainment should use discretion with respect to loud music being objectionable to other
Club members. Management reserves the right to request entertainers to reduce their volume should the noise
level be objectionable. Entertainers must provide proof of insurance and/or sign a “release and hold harmless” prior
to your event at MVCC. All entertainment must be completed by 12:00 midnight.

“Your hospitality was amazing! We have received so many compliments on how seamless everything went
and the food was a hit with everyone. We had so many comments on how it wasn’t the “typical wedding
food” and was absolutely delicious!
Kelly, Sept 2018

“Our wedding ceremony and reception was executed absolutely flawless. It completely exceeded all
expectations and we got many compliments from our guests on what a beautiful space, ceremony, and
reception we had. The food was AMAZING. We have several family members in the restaurant industry and
they complimented the food on the taste and the speed it was delivered.”
Bridget, Sept 2018

“Thank you! Everything was so perfect, we couldn’t have picked a better venue for our wedding reception.
Guests could not stop raving about how good the food was. And the service was amazing. Everyone was so
kind and helpful throughout the whole night. We will definitively recommend Minnesota Valley to anyone
we know who might need a venue in the future!”
Jennifer, July 2018

“Patricia the event coordinator is amazing, very professional and detailed. I have worked with her for years
on different events- wedding reception, many school and work events, and have never had an issue. With all
the events we always had plenty of space, beautiful views, great service, and the food is wonderful.”
Peggy, June 2018

The reception was absolutely beautiful. We so appreciate your planning, organization, and execution. You
are really good at your job and so easy to work with. We would recommend you and the MVCC to anyone!
Thanks so much.
Karen, April 2019

Everything was AMAZING! The day went perfectly and we had such a great time at MVCC. Everyone was
raving about the food, beautiful venue, and excellent service and staff. We couldn’t be happier! Thank you
for everything you have done for us of the past few months. We are forever grateful!!
Megan, August 2019

Oh my gosh- we have not stopped talking about what an absolutely perfect night it was!! We have heard
from so many people that the food was fantastic! Our families agreed it was every bit as delicious as our
tasting, which is over the top impressive when the food was prepared for so many people!! We cannot thank
you and the rest of the staff at MVCC for making our day absolutely flawless!!!
Kelly, August 2019

Everyone was commenting on how great the food was, how welcoming the staff was, and how beautiful the
ballroom was decorated! We couldn’t have asked for anything better! It was perfect for us and we enjoyed
our night so much!! It’s been great working with you!
Kirstin, September 2019

Everything was wonderful, and as stress free as it could have been. The food was wonderful, and I received so
many compliments. We are so very happy we chose to work with you to make MVCC our dream wedding spot.
I cannot thank you (and your assistance) enough for all you help. I could not have asked for a better team, or
venue. THANK YOU!!
Nichole, September 2019

It was the most FABULOUS EVENT! We got tons of compliments on the food from all of our family and friends
and service, as always, was amazing! Can’t thank you enough!
Devon, October 2019

I can not say enough good things about MVCC for my wedding. Patricia and her staff are AMAZING and Patricia
is so great at communication from the very beginning of booking the wedding all the way to the end. The
space was amazing and she was so accommodating for everything that I had requested. The venue is extreme-
ly affordable for food and beverages for a large wedding! The venue also has amazing spots for great pictures!
Jordyn, October 2019

Everything was absolutely fantastic. Food was incredible. Everyone was complimenting the food all night!!
Jordan, June 2019

Thank you so much for everything yesterday. Your facilities, staff and everything extra everyone did made
Sam and Matt’s day so very special. Can’t thank you enough.
Connie April 2019

You guys did a fantastic job and exceeded my expectations. Thank you for a wonderful day and evening!!!
Brianna – January 2020

Thank you SO much for everything you did in preparation for our wedding and during the day. Every-
thing could not have gone any more smoothly and perfectly. We are so happy that we chose the MVCC. Eve-
rything exceeded our expectations, you made it so we didn't have to lift a finger and we were able to just en-
joy our day. The food was absolutely delicious and we got so many compliments and people asking who the
caterer was and how we chose them! It was a pleasure working with you as well. Please let me know if there
is anything else you need from us. My mom plans to pick up all wedding items, including the cake on Tuesday.
Kaitlin and Rick -February 2020

I can’t say enough great things about MVCC! Patricia was incredible to work with, from the beginning to the
end. We had 200 guests and they helped us make the venue feel intimate and exactly the way we envisioned.
The food was incredible (highly recommend the filet with red wine reduction and the mushroom risotto) and
the staff were so helpful. Our guests were commenting all night long about how smooth everything was run,
