Casey & Xander at the Muse Event Center

Muse Event Center · Minneapolis, MN

Casey and Xander’s elegant wedding at the Muse Event Center was amazing from beginning to end. We loved being a part of this day and working alongside such talented vendors — photography by Chelsey Werth Photography, design and coordination by MAVEN events, florals by Kindred Blooms, and a full team that matched the tone of a refined North Loop celebration.

The Muse sat in Minneapolis’s warehouse district at 107 3rd Avenue North (the venue later closed to events; this film preserves how that day looked and felt). What stays with you is not only the industrial loft light and white drapery, but the quiet rooftop first look above the city, the burgundy bridal party against the aisle, and a short film built to be revisited.

Muse Event Center in the North Loop

The Muse Event Center was a North Loop Minneapolis event space — high ceilings, polished floors, exposed ductwork, and enough height for a suspended greenery ring to hang over white cross-back chairs. For couples searching for a Minneapolis wedding videographer, venues like this ask for a filmmaker who can hold both the architecture and the people inside it: skyline establishing shots, getting-ready laughter against exposed brick, and an indoor ceremony staged against floor-to-ceiling white drapery.

Casey and Xander’s day, dated September 22, 2018 on their welcome sign, moved from preparations to a rooftop first look above the warehouse district, then into that draped ceremony space with navy suits, burgundy attendants, and aisle markers of greenery and purple blooms.

“They really understood the tone of the day, and captured our favorite parts, creating an incredible short film that makes us feel like we are reliving our big day all over again.”

Rooftop first look and the ceremony

Above the city, Casey and Xander shared a first look on the Muse rooftop terrace — blue sky, brick buildings, and lounge seating behind a black metal railing. Those frames carry the brightness of a clear Minneapolis afternoon before the day turned ceremonial.

Inside, the ceremony unfolded under the greenery ring and white drapes. The Loring String Quartet brought live strings into the room; later, Rock With U Entertainment carried the reception with a live band. Between those bookends, Kindred Blooms and MAVEN’s design work read clearly on camera: dusty-rose runners, candlelight, and florals in deep burgundy and soft pink.

Voices, vendors, and the full story

Working alongside Chelsey Werth Photography, Annika Bridal Boutique, Julie Phaxay for hair and makeup, Collected & Co. and Après for rentals, Quince Catering & Events for desserts, and Ceremonies by Positively Charmed as officiant, the day kept a clear visual rhythm — elegant without feeling stiff.

In their Alma Films review, Casey and Xander described a quiet presence on the wedding day, strong collaboration with other vendors, and a finished short film that makes them feel like they are reliving the celebration. That is the standard we hold for a Minneapolis wedding film: not a highlight reel of pretty rooms, but a record of how the day sounded and felt.

Why this film matters

The Muse Event Center no longer hosts events, but Casey and Xander’s film still holds the North Loop light, the rooftop skyline, and the people who filled the room. Years from now they will not only see where they stood — they will feel who they were when the greenery ring hung above the aisle and the short film of their day began.
