We got married 8/3 and i will say the Grands is truly a great place to have your wedding. They take so much stress and work off of wedding planning and make everything extremely easy. From our first meeting we knew we were going to get married here. They help with a lot of vendors such as DJ, Shuttle, candles for centerpieces and all decorations, Day of coordination, food, dessert, late night snacks, and so much more that I know I am missing! They break down the prices completely and we didn’t feel like anything extra was added to our final bill. Weeks before the wedding we met with Joe and Larry to help with the day of coordination and the entertainment piece of coordinating. This helped with giving the DJ an idea of what we wanted for our entertainment and helped our day flow so much easier. The day of our wedding could not have been more great. We got married on the lodge side and used the bridal suite to get ready. It truly is such a beautiful venue that needs little decorations. The staff and Joe were so helpful throughout the day and night to make the day go smoothly and kept open communication between my husband and I. We had DJ Alli and unfortunately it was her last wedding which I think was meant to be because she truly did such an amazing job keeping everyone on the dance floor and taking requests. Truthfully our wedding could not have been more perfect and we have no regrets choosing this venue

We had a beautiful Fall wedding at Green Acres, made possible through the expert hands of Megan. The event space is beautiful all on its own, including an updated bridal suite, charming rustic barn details and sprawling grounds for extended outdoor space. Leading up to the big day, Megan made sure we stayed on schedule and offered invaluable advice and suggestions. The wedding day felt like everything was just taken care of. She worked with all our vendors and coordinated everything seamlessly. If I had the opportunity to do the day all over again, I would certainly come back to this venue and work with Megan again. I would probably be less nervous, though… knowing everything was truly taken care of.

We enjoyed an amazing wedding experience using the dazzling Olympic Hills golf club venue for our 120 guest wedding in July. The venue itself is exceptionally well-maintained and provided a beautiful backdrop to our happy guests. We enjoyed our wedding service on their outside private deck with customized lighting and organized, comfortable seating. We enjoyed a sumptuous and flavorful Italian buffet, and the Olympic Hills team, including event planner Emily, gave us and our guests superior service. Emily is particularly thorough, extremely well organized, communicative and proactive. Their staff were able to handle specific dietary restrictions and allowed us to bring in commercially licensed appetizers and desserts, and wine of our choice (with acork fee), all providing money saving opportunities on our very small and stringent budget. Despite the fact that we had a very tight budget which they helped us accommodate, I cannot express how thankful I am for Emily, especially being able to coordinate with our vendors to ensure we had a memorable and fabulous celebration. To have access to this kind of glamorous venue without being a club member was invaluable, and we were treated with kindness and respect. I highly recommend for any event and especially a wedding, your guest will feel privileged and happy and as a bride or groom, you will be so relieved at the ease and beauty.

Our wedding at the Merriot Hotel was unforgettable experience, and we couldn't have asked for a better venue or team to help us celebrate our special day. From the moment we first visited the hotel, we were impressed by its elegance and beautiful spaces. The staff was welcoming, and overall atmosphere was perfect for our wedding. A special shoutout goes to our event manager Becca! She was absolutely Phenomenal. From out initial planning meetings to the big day itself, Becca made everything seamless and stress-free. Her attention to detail, organization, and communication were outstanding. She listened to our vision and went above and beyond to bring it to life, ensuring that every aspect of our wedding was executed flawlessly. On the day of the wedding, Becca was a calming presence, coordinating with all the vendors and making sure everything ran on schedule. She handled any hiccups with grace and professionalism, allowing us to focus on enjoying our special moments with family and friends. The food was delicious, and the service was impeccable!

If there’s one thing you should know about South Asian weddings, it’s that they’re not small. We estimated a guest list of about 300-400 people, and with us being Muslim, an additional factor that really came into play was ensuring that our catering was able to be made Halal, which you can think of as meal preparation similar in rigidity to Kosher preparation, but according to Islamic guidelines. I made a call to Brackett’s Crossing, and was greeted by Elizabeth (Liz) Revak and Kendra Simonis. They had informed me that Brackett’s can accommodate 300-400 guests for an event and that they accommodate a Halal menu, provided that it is still through Brackett’s Menu and their kitchen. Historically places that I’ve toured that did that, and weddings I attended where South Asian food is not on the normal menu usually does not hit expectations. Kendra and Liz had told me that if I was available, that they had an open house in the winter and that their full menu would be on display, alongside some of their preferred vendors- and that attending would give us a fuller picture of what the food would look and taste like. My family and I went, and were WOW’ed by their presentation, hospitality, organization, and of course, how delicious their food was! Speaking to Liz and Kendra and having tried the menu and knowing that it could be made Halal, we were super intrigued but not yet settled on having them do our event. What followed was me barraging the two of them with phone calls and emails, and them meeting every one of my questions with thoughtful, kind, respectful answers that showed a serious dedication to their craft, and conveyed the passion with which they do their jobs- and frankly, go above and beyond. They started by giving me several pamphlets worth of information on anything I’d ever want to know about hosting an event there, and when I started asking about requests like modifying the space/event to accommodate our cultural and religious values they were so beyond helpful, insofar as knowing the direction of Islamic prayer relative to their venue, knowing key customs in Muslim and South Asian tradition, being able to turn over spaces in the building for prayer time, accommodating our diets, and even being able to accommodate in case we needed a horse! The space itself is lovely, the ballroom is incredibly grand and very well lit from their wall to wall windows, and the outdoor gardens and photo areas are phenomenal. As a bonus, the patio space outside was perfect for cocktail hour and for guests to hang out at night. The organization of the event went really smooth, as they work very closely with all of your vendors and have spreadsheets/meetings to help you (should you choose to utilize them) and will make sure to provide you the exact appropriate amount of organization you want so as to not over or underwhelm you. When it came time for the day of, Kendra and Liz went above and beyond, and were personally on site to oversee the success of the event. The staff, both in the kitchen and the servers tending to the guests were all pros, and kept the event running efficiently- turning over the photobooth, dessert tables and dinner and making sure that my wife and I were not bothered at the sweetheart table (and had a plate of food!) GO WITH BRACKETT'S. You won't regret it.

My husband and I recently got married at MGC on 10/21/23 and it was THE BEST DECISION! Nancy is wonderful to work with and knows her stuff. She is efficient and was always responsive, no matter how silly my question was! We received a booklet of wedding information that had a ton of great info including hotel options, vendor options, and timeline info. The ballroom is beautiful and the space that you get for your day includes a separate area for cocktail hour and is spacious enough to give your guests space to mingle. We had a live band and I was worried about the sound being too loud for guests in the ballroom but because we had the other area, people were able to mingle and talk and not everyone was stuck in the ballroom. Their food is fantastic and reasonably priced, our guests raved about it! Planning a wedding can be very stressful but MGC and Nancy do a great job helping ease some of the anxiety from your big day. I highly, highly recommend booking Minneapolis Golf Club - it's a beautiful location and venue and I'm so happy we had our reception there!

On our wedding day, they were on-top of everything and made the day go by without a hitch. You won’t find such kind, amazing, helpful people like them at traditional wedding venues; they are one-of-a-kind! 10/10 recommend having your future wedding here, it is the picture perfect winery in every way! And their wines are incredible :)

My husband got married here in August of 2023 after the remodel and it was so beautiful. The Plymouth room was so beautiful and perfect for dinner and dancing. The balcony was also fantastic for guests to have space to hang out outside during cocktail hour. The garden was so exquisite that we did not need any decorations! There was plenty of parking for everyone and easy for guests to find. We worked with Nicole and she was so organized and answered all of my questions to make the day so smooth. We had the best experience at Plymouth Creek Center and would recommend this venue to anyone who wants a ceremony and reception in one beautiful spot!

The transition between rooms went seamlessly, and the bar service was well-organized. While the staff may have been a bit too casual, and it was unclear who our dedicated day-of contact and security were, overall Glass House provided excellent value and contributed greatly to making our special day a huge success.

We had an Amazing Wedding 10/15/2022 at Windows on Minnesota! Started the day with a get ready room prepared by the hotel and added on breakfast for the wedding party on the 3rd floor which was so spacious and made PERFECT get ready photos! Groomsmen used a suite to get ready in and we loved having our own spaces to keep the morning calm and special for all of us. Our ceremony was off site, but used Stars for a cocktail space for our 206 guests which had perfect views and LOVE the passed mushroom arancini appetizer!! My only recommendation is adding an extra bar (3rd bar for us) so the lines are not long for your guests. Our reception was in Galaxy and the plated dinner options were truly amazing, we chose Beef short ribs, asiago chicken, pesto salmon (thank you Chef Evan and Chef Mike for customizing) and the mushroom risotto! I continue to hear from our guests that each dinner option and pear salad was so good! Special shout our to Angel in Engineering for helping us with a special request! The banquet staff Michael, Diane, Melissa, Grace, Ricarda, Randy, Mohamud and Milton were so kind and accommodating to our guests. We brought in Sammy's Sweet Cupcakes which avoided the 5 per person cake cutting fee and loved each flavor. Sydney, Sarah and Scott were awesome with all our details and set ups along with communicating and updates that occurred. My husband and I were very chill and very organized during the planning process as I know the Sales team juggle so many events at Windows. It was the best day ever and thank the events team for making so many details come to life and allowing us to be carefree and enjoy our day! -Nate and Kat P.s. Our Vendors were AMAZING too!!

From the moment we began our journey with the Lumber Exchange, every staff member was flexible, friendly, helpful, and kind. Everyone we worked with truly wanted our day to be special. The food is incredible, and the chefs were so attentive to dietary needs—during our tasting they sat down with us, and the head chef even came out during the reception to make sure everything was perfect. The entire team puts their best foot forward. The value of the service, food, beverages, and overall experience is absolutely worth the cost, and compared to other venues, it’s not overpriced in my opinion. The Lumber Exchange offers several beautiful event spaces and is conveniently connected to a hotel, which made everything so easy for us and our guests. Our day was magical, and the Lumber Exchange team was truly wonderful. We look forward to hosting another event there someday and will always hold our wedding day close to our hearts!
