Thank you for considering The Kato Entertainment Center for your upcoming wedding. We look forward to visiting with you to plan your party so that it will meet all of your entertainment needs!
Planning Your Wedding Reception
The first things to consider when planning your wedding reception are room size and dining options. We have two rooms available for wedding receptions: a large ballroom, which can accommodate 150-1200 people, and a banquet hall, for groups of up to 200. If you make use of our catering service and purchase a certain minimum amount in concessions, your room rent is waived! (Restrictions apply.) More information on room rents is available here. If you haven't visited our facilities in person, please take a virtual tour today!

The Details
Not sure how many to expect? Most people can follow the 70% guideline: for every 10 people you've invited to your wedding, plan for 7 to be there at your reception. We ask that you give us a count one week prior to the event. We will prepare the number of dinners you request plus 5%, to ensure that there will be plenty for everyone. You will be charged for the number of dinners served or 95% of what you order, whichever is greater.
All food orders are subject to a 15% service charge. This includes gratuity, most set-up charges, use of the building to decorate during regular business hours, and skirting of the cake, punch, gift, and head tables.
Food and room rent are subject to 6.5% MN state sales tax and 0.5% local sales tax.
If you wish to take home any excess, non-perishable food, you must provide containers for this food. If you take any food home, you will be charged 100% of what you order. There is a $75 fee to serve food later in the evening.
