Heritage Center of Brooklyn Center: Premier Event Venue

Heritage Center of Brooklyn Center brings historic character and modern comfort together in one convenient location in the Twin Cities. This event venue sits just minutes north of downtown Minneapolis, and has 40,000 square feet of flexible space for meetings, conferences, and celebrations of all kinds. 

An enclosed walkway connects the center directly to the 175-room Embassy Suites Minneapolis North, while the Fairfield Inn & Suites Minneapolis North is a short walk away, making an overnight stay simple for you and yours. Planners looking for meeting spaces near Minneapolis will find a dedicated campus with landscaped grounds, a central courtyard, and easy access to major highways, a stress-free setting for work and gatherings.

Why Choose This Venue

Heritage Center functions as both a conference center and a wedding destination, so the property is designed to handle everything from multi-day business events to once-in-a-lifetime celebrations. Historic architecture adds whimsy and grandeur, while updated interiors, natural light, and comfortable furnishings keep the focus on the occasion.

Location is another advantage. Attendees can easily access the venue via nearby freeways, enjoy ample on-site parking, and step directly into the main atrium. Connected hotels streamline logistics for out-of-town guests and make it simple to turn an event into an overnight or weekend experience.
