“Pleasant Pastures is a beautiful hidden gem in central Minnesota. Mindi, Samuel, and everyone else on the Pleasant Pastures team were an absolute joy to work with. When we first started planning our wedding, our biggest fear was finding a venue that would try to nickel and dime us throughout the process. Pleasant Pastures is the complete opposite of that. The services, amenities, and pricing were very clearly laid out, and we felt we received an incredible amount of value. Having access to their decorations and grain bin bar was invaluable and helped make our wedding feel truly special. From our experience, Mindi and Samuel were there for us every step of the way. They were always willing to answer questions, offer suggestions, and help with the little details that can become overwhelming when planning a wedding. Most importantly, we never felt like just another couple renting their venue. They genuinely cared about making our day special. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, and our guests had nothing but great things to say about it. Looking back, choosing Pleasant Pastures was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We cannot recommend Mindi, Samuel, and the entire Pleasant Pastures team enough. They went above and beyond for us, and we would choose Pleasant Pastures again in a heartbeat!”

“Rolling Ridge was everything we wanted in a venue! When we first saw the venue we knew it was perfect for our day because there are many wonderful options to have your ceremony, dinner and dance. We knew no matter what that if Option A (having ceremony/dance outside) didn't work out due to weather, then we were perfectly fine with Option B which would be moving everything in doors because everywhere has great ambiance which put us at ease during the planning months. From day one they were so accommodating and truly let your visions come to life. They also were so organized and provided the best planning tools so you felt like you were always on track and they helped you think of all the little details it takes to hosting a wedding. I never felt stressed or overwhelmed when working with Rolling Ridge. All of our guests were blown away by the beauty of this venue and we can't recommend them enough to any future couples.”

“We had the BEST experience with Stonewall Farms. The owners and coordinators are incredibly easy to work with and so helpful. Our catering had a flat tire and could not deliver our food and the owner went in his own truck to pickup the food for us! The venue itself is gorgeous and well maintained. The pine trees in front of the big cross?! Insanely beautiful. We loved that everything we needed was right there (getting ready space, a space for the reception, ceremony and dance and even a space to stay overnight!). We felt the price was VERY reasonable for how much this venue has to offer. The biggest compliment we had all night was how amazing the venue was & how it was the coolest venue people have ever been to. Please get married at Stonewall Farms, you will not regret it!”
