Valentino's
200 Concord Exchange N, South St Paul, MN
Inside this 120-year-old castle-like building lies a great place to have a party. It boasts multiple rooms and bars, a dance floor and DJ, plus the food from the on-site restaurant, TreVina, is superb and a fry cry from the usual lukewarm chicken breast with sauce you get from most caterers. -
Science Museum of Minnesota
120 Kellogg Blvd W, St. Paul, MN
With some of the best views of St. Paul, this spot provides holiday revelers with a great backdrop and good food. Enhance your party package by getting museum admissions for each guest. -
Ard Godfrey House

Tucked in the posh Calhoun Beach Club lies View. During the holidays, this venue is decked out in lights and provides great ambiance for a gathering. The great food is just a bonus. -
Lake Elmo Inn Event Center
3712 Layton Ave N, Lake Elmo, MN
