Spaces with character, built to flex

Four connected spaces let you shape the day your way. The Gold Room opens through garage doors onto the courtyard and seats up to 200 guests beneath 1940s steel vaulted ceilings. The Pink Room holds our bar and cocktail lounge. The open-air Courtyard, strung with café lights, is made for outdoor ceremonies and al fresco dining. And the private Green Room suite gives your party a calm place to get ready.

For weddings, galas, and everything worth gathering for

Couples choose PAIKKA for modern St. Paul weddings and receptions; companies host conferences, holiday parties, and networking events; and nonprofits stage galas and fundraisers in a room people remember. From intimate dinners to celebrations of up to 275, the space adapts to you.
