About Nicollet Island Pavilion

My favorite feature of the Nicollet Island Pavilion is, without a doubt, the view. We’re tucked away in a park on an island in the Mississippi River, with a stunning front-row seat to both the river and the downtown skyline. It’s a “wow” moment for both local and visiting guests, and honestly, my favorite view in the entire city!

I love the thrill of the event day! There’s nothing like seeing all the hard work and planning come together to create a beautifully crafted event that wows your guests. It’s an incredibly rewarding feeling.

I’d love to help make your work celebration the talk of the town!
