Wedding Day Schedule at a Glance
Your day begins in the Bridal Lounge and Groom Saloon, followed by a ceremony in Benjamin Hall. Guests enjoy cocktails either inside or on the attached patio. The reception opens in the Main Ballroom, where built-in sound and a 32-foot projection wall support dancing, speeches, and more. The Mint’s day-of staff coordinates every transition. If the weather shifts, your entire event moves indoors; no layout changes are needed.
Capture Every Stunning Moment
The Bridal Lounge offers quiet, natural light for getting-ready photos. The Vault Bar & Lounge is ideal for moody reception portraits or a couple’s photos during cocktail hour. The patio at Benjamin Hall provides greenery and sky for outdoor shots, while the interior’s neutral tones allow your floral and design colors to stand out.
