Designed in 1914 by Charles Frost, then built by James J. Hill, a railroad entrepreneur, The Great Hall in Downtown St. Paul is indeed an impressive venue in which to hold your next party.  Be it a wedding or corporate event, this site is massive and can hold up to 700 people for a cocktail style reception.  

The Great Hall’s spacious and grand atrium shows off its Art Deco-inspired architecture and boasts skylights to make the space extra bright and airy. Marble flooring, ivory draped ceilings, and chandeliers complete the classy and elegant atmosphere.

The spacious atrium features translucent skylights, stunning architecture, soaring ceilings,  terrazzo marble flooring, soft ivory draping, and four large chandeliers.

The Great Hall is available to you for the entire day of the event, as they only book one event per day.  Music and beverage service ends at midnight.  Their base fee includes vendor coordination, setup, takedown, elegant tables, chairs, up to 24’x48’ of staging, a Baby Grand Piano, coat racks, an event coordinator for the day of the event, and a St. Paul police officer for four hours.  Other services available for an additional fee are a Bride’s room for the day of the wedding, balcony level cocktail hour, an additional event coordinator, a crew to change the venue from the ceremony to reception, and lounge furniture.  The Great Hall has a list of seven approved caterers from which you may choose.  Each caterer on the list will provide dinner, tableware, and service for your event.  Elite Hospitality partners with The Great Hall and offers professional beverage service.
