The architecturally-stunning McNamara Alumni Center is a modern and sophisticated setting for wedding celebrations. Designed to reflect the Minnesota landscape, the venue boasts interiors of wood, water and copper. This popular special event venue has 2 zones for large and small wedding celebrations: 

•    Memorial Hall is a gorgeous backdrop for large wedding ceremonies and receptions — 120 to 400 guests. This unique room is lined with 7 miles of hemlock wood, ample natural light and an atrium 90 foot ceiling.

•    Our University Hall small wedding package includes three rooms and a private patio. It is a lovely setting for small wedding receptions with a full wall of windows to let in natural light. University Hall accommodates celebrations for up to 120 guests and can also accommodate wedding ceremonies.

•    We also offer a micro wedding package that is similar to our University Hall wedding package that includes three rooms and a private patio but for an abbreviated timeframe.

Other benefits to choosing McNamara for your wedding celebration:
•    Located on the University of Minnesota Minneapolis campus with very easy access off Interstates 35W and 94
•    Adjacent 500-car parking ramp, connected by tunnel
•    Twin Cities most awarded caterer D’Amico Hospitality is onsite
•    Adjacent Graduate Minneapolis Hotel with 300 sleeping rooms, two "get ready" rooms and tunnel connection to McNamara
•    Beautiful outdoor space for photo opportunities including landscaped plaza and water features
