Built in 1905, the Connolly Shoe Factory was renovated in 2016 to become JX Venue, one of the largest event venues in Minnesota. JX Venue boasts 14,000 sq. feet of event space and has a capacity of up to 720 guests. The venue is perfect for large weddings, small celebrations and everything in between. Purposely ambiguous, the name “JX” is defined by the first class events that are hosted within the exposed brick walls. Clients have access to an unparalleled multimedia experience, optical illusion photo booth and a state of the art sound and light system. The space is dynamic, bursting with modern luxuries, while still celebrating the historic charm of the building. Every celebration feels intimate as the space is customized to match the exact vision and needs of the client.

TESTIMONIALS
VIP EXPERIENCE
We got engaged in January of 2024 and wanted to have a wedding that same summer. Before going to look at venues we were unsure if it would even be possible to have the wedding we wanted- until we came across the JX. From the second we entered the doors, we knew that this was the perfect venue for our special day. Emily and her team made everything possible. From her meticulous organization to her professionalism, we never had to worry about a thing. The VIP package made our wedding day so smooth and seamless. Everything from pre wedding planning, to booking vendors, to all the little details in between, we didn’t have to stress about any of it. With the VIP package we got our engagement photos and wedding day photos included. Judd and his team were awesome to work with and we are still in awe of how amazing our photos turned out. Judd was able to capture all the moments on our big day perfectly. We are still in awe at how much fun Judd, Emily and their team were to work with. They made our wedding day so much more perfect than anything we could’ve ever dreamed of.
