Weddings in 2025: Personal, Fun, and Totally You

Sustainability Takes the Spotlight
Eco-friendly weddings are in, and couples are going all-out to make their big day as green as possible. Think locally-sourced catering, decor made from upcycled materials, and more conscious choices across the board. At St. Paul Event Center, we’re all about creativity and sustainability, with flexible spaces that allow you to incorporate environmentally-friendly touches. Plus, we work with awesome partners who share the same commitment to sustainability.

Hyper-Personalization is the Name of the Game
In 2025, weddings are getting more personalized than ever. Gone are the days of cookie-cutter celebrations—couples are adding custom color palettes, signature cocktails, and unique guest experiences. How about replacing the classic photo booth with something a little more interactive, like a live portrait artist or an art installation that gets guests involved? The possibilities are endless, and we’re here to help make your wedding totally you.

Weekday Weddings? Absolutely!
Why wait until the weekend? Weekday weddings are becoming a big trend in 2025. Not only do they offer more budget-friendly options, but they also give you more flexibility without sacrificing style. With St. Paul Event Center’s central downtown location and top-notch service, we make weekday celebrations just as seamless as a Saturday wedding.

Tech is the New Tradition
We’re living in the digital age, and weddings are no exception. Livestreaming, drone photography, and augmented reality (AR) experiences are redefining how we share and document our big days. Our venue is equipped with state-of-the-art AV capabilities to help you bring the latest tech trends into your celebration.

Quinceañeras: Bold, Bright, and Full of Fun

Color, Color, Color!
2025 is all about bold, vibrant color schemes for quinceañeras. Think metallics mixed with jewel tones like emerald green and deep sapphire—total show-stoppers! These eye-popping color combos make for jaw-dropping decor that’ll have everyone talking.

A Beautiful Blend of Tradition and Trend
In 2025, quinceañeras are embracing a mix of classic traditions and modern twists. Imagine mariachi bands with DJ sets, or traditional dances fused with contemporary choreography. It’s all about blending the best of both worlds for a celebration that feels fresh and meaningful.

Foodie Fun with Interactive Stations
Quinceañera menus are getting a major upgrade with interactive food stations like churro bars, taco build-your-own stations, and custom mocktail setups. It’s all about creating an experience around the food—and at St. Paul Event Center, our catering partners are experts at making this deliciously fun.

Instagram-Worthy Moments
Let’s face it—social media is a huge part of any celebration in 2025. That’s why quinceañeras are all about creating those picture-perfect moments. From custom hashtags to stunning backdrops, you’ll want your guests snapping pics all night long. Luckily, St. Paul Event Center’s open, airy spaces are perfect for making those Instagram-worthy memories.

Corporate Events: Engaging, Purposeful, and Cutting-Edge

Hybrid Events Are Here to Stay
With the rise of remote work, hybrid corporate events are making a big splash in 2025. Whether you’ve got in-person attendees or virtual participants, St. Paul Event Center’s top-of-the-line technology makes it easy to connect everyone, no matter where they are.

More and more companies are incorporating wellness activities into their corporate events. From yoga and mindfulness workshops to team-building activities that promote mental health, we’ve got the space to make these experiences come to life.

Immersive Branding, Anyone?
2025 is all about immersive branding at corporate events. We’re talking projection mapping, interactive displays, and customized spaces that reflect your company’s identity. At St. Paul Event Center, we’ll work with you to bring your brand to life and create a memorable experience for your guests.

Going Green at Corporate Events
Sustainability isn’t just for weddings and quinceañeras—it’s also shaping corporate gatherings. Companies are increasingly looking for eco-friendly venues and vendors, and we’re proud to be on board with green initiatives like waste reduction and energy-efficient systems.

Intimate Gatherings on the Rise

Support Local, Celebrate Local
2025 is all about supporting local communities, and that’s reflected in event planning trends.
