Weddings, company seminars, fundraising galas and private parties for 10 to 250 guests can be organized at The Hutton House, an event venue with 12,500 square feet of indoor space and an outdoor courtyard at 10715 South Shore Drive in Medicine Lake, Minnesota, about 15 minutes west of downtown Minneapolis.
Seminars and company events
The venue lists company-wide seminars, annual fundraising galas, VIP experiences and non-profit events among its corporate formats. The Fireside Room can be set with tables and chairs for a meeting or a workshop, the upstairs lounge takes smaller meetings in lounge or banquet layouts, and the courtyard works for networking, a happy hour or team building. The team helps coordinate audiovisual service, linen orders and event branding. Commercial-grade high-speed Wi-Fi and an indoor and outdoor sound system are included, and a projector can be added. The house also rents its spaces for product, fashion and furniture photo shoots, commercial video, company trainings and team headshots.
Weddings and receptions
A wedding can run from start to finish on site: getting ready in the private upstairs suites, the ceremony on site, cocktail hour in the courtyard around the gas fire pit, then dinner and the reception in the Lakeside Room, which seats up to 250. An on-site ceremony package is offered as an extra, as are portable bars, outdoor heaters, lawn games, coat check attendants and valet parking. Birthdays, mitzvahs, anniversaries, graduations and celebrations of life are also hosted.
Rooms and capacities
The Lakeside Room is the main room, with high ceilings, an open plan, sliding glass doors and a built-in bar in dark fir with a mirrored back. It takes up to 250 guests for dinner. The Fireside Room has a floor-to-ceiling white brick fireplace and a wall of sliding glass doors, and can be set as a lounge, with rows of chairs for a ceremony, or with tables for a workshop. The Courtyard has a bluestone patio and a gas fire pit and is used year-round, weather permitting. Upstairs, the Suites and Lounge serve as dressing rooms or for small meetings. Custom mobile walls let the team adjust the floor plan, and a coat check closet is included.
Catering
Bar service is managed in-house with partner bar providers. Food comes from a list of eight preferred local caterers, among them Chow Girls, Brasa, Crave Catering and Surdyk's Catering, so the menu can follow the budget and style of each event.
History and setting
The Hutton House was founded in November 2017 by four women who brought together event planning, interior design and construction experience. The house sits in a private setting near Medicine Lake, with natural light throughout and a warm white, modern farmhouse look that couples and companies can adapt to their own colors. Security staff is included in every rental.
Getting there
The venue is at 10715 South Shore Drive, Medicine Lake, MN 55441, with access to Highways 55, 169, 394 and 494. Ample parking is on site, and valet service can be booked. Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport is the nearest major airport, and the venue's vendor page points to nearby hotels for guests staying overnight.
