About

An 1870s church. A space that holds history, light, and the kind of atmosphere you can't manufacture.

The Ivy is Mankato's most distinctive private event venue. The Ivy is a restored gathering hall built for moments that matter. Weddings, corporate events, milestone celebrations, comedy shows, showers, rehearsal dinners, and everything in between.

If the occasion deserves a room with character, this is it. From touring musicians and emerging local talent to community-led events and intimate gatherings, The Ivy creates space for connection through creativity. Whether it’s a live recorded performance, album release, or small gathering, The Ivy is becoming a creative home—and a go-to stage—for Mankato.

Vaulted ceilings, restored stained glass windows, warm natural light, and a floor plan that adapts to your vision. Capacity for seated dinners, standing receptions, live performances, presentations, workshops, and more.
