We truly could not have asked for a more perfect wedding venue or experience. The venue itself was absolutely stunning - intimate, beautiful, and the perfect backdrop for both our celebration and our photos. Brad and Louise were incredible to work with and supported us every step of the way, taking the time to walk us through each part of the day and keeping everything running smoothly and on schedule. Brad also served as our MC and did an amazing job keeping the energy up and the party going all night. The photos they captured are absolutely breathtaking and are memories we will cherish forever. Our wedding day was one of the best days of our lives, and we are so grateful to have had such an amazing venue and team be part of it.

In 1910, President Taft signed the bill to establish Glacier National Park as the country’s 10th national park. Mr. Healy was given a plumbing contractor for the train depot here in St. Paul, where he met Samuel Bartlett, the architect of many of the railroad depots and Glacier National Park Lodge. Healy then commissioned Bartlett to renovate and enlarge the house. In 1914, the farm was sold to John Healy, the owner of Healy Plumbing and Heating Company of St. Paul. Mr. Healy’s company became closely tied to the Great Northern Railroad, as it provided the heating and plumbing for many of the train depots that were being built around the country at that time. The farm was named Hope Glen Farm, the name of John Healy’s mother’s maiden name of Hope, and the house settles in a Glen, thus Hope Glen.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Combines timeless elegance with history
  • Rustic-chic setting
  • Has a relaxed and casual vibe

We loved Hope Glen, my wife said it was way above and beyond what she had hope and dreamed for her wedding and all of our guests commented on how amazing the venue was! All the beautiful and differently decorated spaces were very functional and made our wedding flow effortlessly. We felt so blessed getting married in a super rain storm in the beautiful dinner hall. We also loved the tree house, it was such a magical place to spend our first night together. We loved the ambient worship music, we were worshipping together all night until we fell asleep. It was super special. Also Eryka was incredible. The bridal bliss package was absolutely worth every penny. I don't know how we could have got all that done on our own without her help, especially being out of state. We also highly recommend the horse carriage. The audible gasp of all our gusts was intoxicating as my beautiful bride arrived by horse carriage looking like a storybook princess.

Awarded Best of Zola
I own a wedding venue and we do over 80 weddings per year. We see a lot of photographers each year and it is clear that there are people who own expensive cameras and then there are photographers. A true photographer has an eye for the right light at the right angle at the right exposure at the right focus at the right distance. Michelle is one of the true photographers. She does great work with a creative eye for detail. To top it off she is great to work with. Pleasant and professional with none of the arrogance. If you can get on her calendar, do it.

I started Made Right Productions because I wanted to give Twin Cities couples a first class wedding videography experience. From the right people to the right video tools. we have everything covered to capture your wedding day. Our team has filmed over 100 weddings – we love to bring our creativity into each setting and each wedding film. Let’s talk about how we can capture your wedding day.

I connected Matt to a couple I was working with for their wedding. They had a photographer I had not worked with before already hired before they hired me so I had no say in it. Needless to say, their photographer was horrible and I don't think they even edited any photos. Just dropped what looked like 1200 cell phone photos onto a disc for my clients, so they couldn't even share them with family and friends. I am so glad we had Matt there to capture some really special parts of the day and to give me couple some great memories they would not have had otherwise! Thanks Matt for picking up the slack!

First, we were immediately drawn to Allie’s timeless, bright, and airy photography style. From the moment that we spoke with Allie during our phone consultation, we felt very comfortable with her and knew she would be the perfect fit as our wedding photographer! Allie photographed our engagement session in downtown Stillwater, a boudoir session (Allie also designed a keepsake boudoir book that I gave to my husband as his wedding gift), and our wedding day. Throughout all of the sessions, Allie was kind, warm, patient, gave us helpful prompts/poses, and guided us every step of the way! Whenever I had questions regarding photography, Allie was very responsive and provided wonderful customer service. She also helped us to create a detailed photography timeline and shot list for the wedding day. On the wedding day, Allie and her second shooter were very professional, prepared, and helped to keep everyone on track, including the bridal party and our families. After the wedding, we received way more photos than we were expecting in our online gallery, which were beautifully edited with her special touch. Allie exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond in all areas. We’ll cherish our photos for years to come and highly recommend Alexandra Robyn Photo & Design!

They sent a few samples that showed the quality and attention to detail, and the remaining complete albums were sent within a week! So fast but so much attention to detail and great editing.

Sammy was an absolute rockstar! Choosing her as our day-of-coordinator was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From helping us nail down all the details to being the calm, reassuring voice we needed the day of, she was excellent! I wasn't quite sure I would need a day-of-coordinator since I'm very organized and DIY-oriented, but boy am I glad we did. Being able to spend the day relaxed knowing that Sammy had everything taken care of was a godsend. And, on top of it all, she's a joy to be around. I would recommend Sammy to anyone getting married.

My husband and I just got married at The Refuge a few weeks ago, and we could not have asked for a more perfect wedding venue! Our entire weekend from the rehearsal dinner, getting ready in the bridal suite, the ceremony, dinner, and the reception was absolutely amazing. The venue, wedding ceremony location, bridal suite, and banquet area are all incredibly beautiful. The breakfast and lunch we had in the bridal suite getting ready, and the dinner during our reception was phenomenal. We served oven roasted chicken and fresh salmon, our guests are still talking about how great the food was! Our wedding was everything we could have dreamed of and more, and we cannot thank our wedding coordinator, Lisa, and the rest of the Refuge staff for making our wedding the best weekend of our entire lives! If we could do it all over again, we would absolutely choose The Refuge!!! 10/10!

Is simple really. I want to capture real moments and create beautiful portraits for you. Portraits that you will enjoy looking at long after your wedding. I believe that wedding photography doesn't have to be boring. I don't want to just give you pictures. I want to create works of art that you will be proud to hang in your home. Building friendships & relationships are another goal of mine as well. If I have created a story documenting your day, we had some fun doing it, and your friends all say your wedding photographer was amazing then I accomplished my goal.

Nicole was such an amazing photographer to work with! She was so easygoing and brought a lot of brilliant ideas to our wedding that we never would've thought to do ourselves. We'd love to work with her again someday!
