One of Royal Cliff’s most recognizable features is the stage arch—a structure that becomes a shining focal point of your reception.

Wrapped in string lights, greenery, florals, or left sleek and minimal, the arch is a built-in décor moment that:

• Frames your head table
• Highlights your speeches
• Looks incredible in photos
• Provides soft, warm light
• Makes the whole room feel romantic

If you’re searching for keywords like “wedding arch backdrop ideas” or “romantic wedding lighting Minnesota,” this is exactly the kind of vibe couples want but don’t always find in a venue.

Good news: at Royal Cliff, it’s already there.

One of the biggest advantages of hosting your reception at Royal Cliff is how seamlessly the catering integrates into the space.

Our in-house kitchen is located directly off the reception hall, meaning:

• Food comes out fresh, hot, and beautifully plated
• Courses flow smoothly without long pauses
• Buffets stay stocked and professionally presented
• Late-night snacks are delivered exactly on cue
• Staff is fully trained in the specific layout and service flow

This solves one of the biggest challenges couples search for online:

“Which wedding venues in MN have catering included?”

Royal Cliff does—and it’s a major reason why our receptions feel effortless from start to finish.

The Lobby Floral Wall deserves its own moment.

When guests walk into Royal Cliff, they’re greeted by a lush floral feature wall that instantly sets the tone for the evening. It serves as:

• A photo booth backdrop
• A welcome display
• A place for guests to gather
• A beautiful statement piece
• A flawless setting for cocktail hour photos

It’s the kind of feature couples often pay extra to rent—but at Royal Cliff, it’s just part of the experience.

The indoor bar is located centrally in the ballroom, making service fast and efficient. The open layout means fewer lines, better flow, and happier guests. The outside bar is located between the wedding garden and the reception hall. Bar options include:

• Cash bar: guests pay for what they want
• Consumption Bar: a prepaid tab which you decide how to be used: everything, just beer and wine, etc.
• Time Based packages: open bar for one, two, three or more hours + cash bar after
• Premium upgrades: we can either bring what you want or we can serve your specialty drinks (for a fee)
• Signature cocktail design
• Non-alcoholic specialty offerings / mocktails

Guests remain close to the action while still enjoying easy access to refreshments—this matters more than people realize.

Yes. The Reception Hall at Royal Cliff is fully ADA accessible, with compliant entrances, accessible restrooms, smooth mobility routes, and thoughtful seating accommodations.

Every guest is included and comfortable.

As dinner wraps and the lights shift, something magical happens—the hall transforms from elegant dining room to full celebration mode.

DJs love the acoustics.
Guests love the dance floor size.
Couples love that the energy feels intimate, not overwhelming.

Whether you party until the last song or wrap with a sparkler sendoff, the space adapts to the moment.
