a space unlike any other.

Nestled in the heart of the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District, The Whim boasts 15,000+ square feet of airy white walls, soaring timber ceilings, sprawling vintage brick, and a vibrant romance reminiscent of the roaring ’20s. Inspired by European art and industrial beauty, The Whim is the perfect space to create an experience.

the patio

Complete with trees and cafe lights, the patio is an ideal spot for lawn games and to catch the sunset during cocktail hour.

THE EVENT SPACE

Our 14-foot ceilings are the perfect height to curate a canopy of lighting, floral, and custom installations to create a one-of-a-kind event. Keep it simple or go elaborate. Either one will be show-stopping.

 the Suites

We provide two on site getting ready suites designed for the ultimate luxury experience.

mixed-use rooms

Whether it be for cocktail hour, dessert displays, photo booth areas, additional getting ready space, or simply a quiet place to retreat, we offer two mixed-use spaces to be used as you wish.

the speakeasy

Our underground speakeasy is the perfect spot for late night libations. Customize as a 1920’s speakeasy or your favorite late night bar - either way your guests will LOVE this unexpected space.

parking and valet

Your guest’s experience begins the moment they arrive at your event. With up to 89 free on-site parking spaces, you’ll have the opportunity to provide your guests a VIP experience.

Want valet? You can offer that too with Uptown Valet.

Some people believe that spaces sell themselves.

We believe it's the experience that sells the space.

Founded by Minneapolis-based wedding planning company, Blush & Whim, we have a deep understanding of what it takes to create truly unique events. Our vision is to bring to the Twin Cities not only a visually attractive new event space but one that creates once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

Our background in event planning and design has given us the opportunity to hear firsthand every desire and disappointment clients have when planning their events from both a logistical and design perspective.

Every inch of the space has been thoughtfully designed with you, our clients, in mind. We invite you to inquire today to learn more about how you can create an experience for your next event.

We look forward to hosting your event.
