What SEMPLE MANSION LLC does

Semple Mansion LLC operates a single historic event venue at 100 West Franklin Avenue in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The 26,270-square-foot mansion was constructed in 1899 in the Second Italian Renaissance Revival style and houses the largest original residential ballroom in Minnesota on its third floor, along with a Grand Foyer, Copper Lounge, Library, Bridal Suite, Billiards Room, and Wine Grotto. The company rents the property for weddings, receptions, bridal showers, engagement parties, and corporate functions such as seminars, conferences, trade shows, training workshops, class reunions, and proms. Capacity ranges from 200 to 250 guests depending on configuration, including a 200-seat ceremony in the Grand Foyer and a 250-seat sit-down dinner in the Ballroom.

The business operates on a direct-to-consumer booking model with whole-day rentals (9:00am-12:00am) priced via four seasonal tiers (Silver, Gold, Diamond, Platinum) ranging from $3,300 to $8,800 depending on month and day of week, plus add-ons such as $485 parking for up to 100 vehicles, custom linen, and hourly room rentals. Acquired bookings flow through website contact forms, phone, and email, with vendor referrals from a curated network of more than 30 preferred partners across catering, photography, floristry, entertainment, hotels, transportation, and liquor supply. The venue also offers on-site private office suites for lease to wedding and event industry businesses, providing a small adjacent revenue stream beyond event rentals.
