Located in the heart of St. Paul, Union Depot is an elegant, historic, yet timeless event venue and active transportation hub. Completed in 1926, this landmark showcases a neoclassical style of architecture that captivates and doesn’t warrant a need for extravagant décor. Awe-inspiring columns wrap around the building facade, providing a breathtaking backdrop for wedding photos. Our main event space, the Waiting Room, boasts an intricately detailed vaulted ceiling and polished marble floors. It’s a highly customizable space with enough square-footage to accommodate your ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner reception and more. Union Depot has furniture to accommodate up to 600 guests and the space to accommodate 2,000+ guests. Looking to have a smaller wedding? Our beautiful Red Cap Room is a versatile space perfect for smaller wedding receptions! It’s fully equipped with AV and has space to seat up to 100 guests.

We couldn’t have asked for a better venue than Union Depot for our wedding. The venue manager was clear, communicative, and flexible throughout the planning process. She helped us with deadlines, floor plan adjustments, parking validations, access to getting-ready spaces, and being on-site the day of to support with our wedding coordinator. We also appreciated how affordable the venue and getting ready spaces cost for our budget. The venue itself was beautiful, and it was a relief to do a final walkthrough and drop off decorations the day before the event. The Waiting Room setup with digital signage, pipe and drape made it easy for guests to know where to go, and Union Depot offered stunning indoor and outdoor photo options, which was especially important given the unpredictability of the weather conditions. We can’t wait to visit Union Depot in the future to hop on the train/bus and reminisce on our wedding day there.
