Hope Glen Farm 
Rating: 4.7 (10 reviews)
  • Up to 280 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor & indoor
  • Starts at $1,500

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.

Hope Glen Farm was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From the very first communication, the team was clear, detailed, and incredibly personable. They went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our special day was executed flawlessly. The coordination meetings leading up to the wedding, along with the helpful client portal, kept us on track and confident that everything would be perfect. On the day of, the staff was amazingly helpful and attentive - Eryka in particular was a true godsend, keeping us organized and responsive to our every need. The Bridal Bliss decor package they offer is a must, as the venue looked absolutely beautiful and pristine. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and feel the value we received was worth every penny. Plus a wedding night in a Tree House or Corn Crib Cottage? How can you beat that?! We highly recommend Hope Glen Farm to any couple looking for a stress-free, stunning wedding celebration.

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.

I can't say enough great things about Wicked Wort. When we got engaged, we didn't give our venue a second thought. The inside of the brewery is so cool and unique, it made for some amazing photos. The day of, I didn't have to think about anything, they were all so great at taking care of what needed to be done. The best thing about having our wedding here? It was working with family. There wasn't a bunch of people running around who we didn't know- it was the same faces we had met with and planned with. Steve and Tracy are about the best business owners/runners, and having their family involved makes it even cooler. I look back on our photos and think about they day with so much joy- the pictures are as unique as the day was- and that's how it should be :) We wouldn't have changed a thing of how our big day went- and I will keep recommending Wicked Wort forever. Thank you all so much for everything and for making us feel like part of the family.

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!

When we began planning our 2024 wedding, Watson Block was the first venue we toured, and we immediately knew it would also be the last! Watson Block's intimate space and Art Deco vibes was perfect for our small (50 guests) wedding. Gaby was so easy to work with, being extremely communicative, professional, and patient with all the questions we had throughout the process. Watson Block's relationships with its partner caterers also made it a one-stop shop for our venue, food, and bar needs. Not only is the space gorgeous and the service top-tier, the price was remarkably affordable, especially given its location in the heart of Minneapolis! Watson Block made it possible for us to have our dream wedding, and we couldn't be more grateful. Thank you to Gaby and the entire team!

After touring multiple venues in Minneapolis, the Lumber Exchange was the perfect choice for us. Without knowing exactly what our "dream wedding" would look like, the team at the Lumber Exchange guided us through planning in a way that organically created the PERFECT day and night for our wedding. The venue's new chef, Ali, was so incredible and worked with us to make a few changes to an already-DELICIOUS menu (we asked for a lighter sauce to go with the salmon) and the guests said all night that it was some of the best wedding food they've ever had! The parking ramp attached to the venue was great for guests to easily access an otherwise-intimidating downtown excursion! The bridal and groom's suites were both beautifully maintained and secure for the day and evening making it so comfortable to get ready and celebrate! Also, between the parking ramp rooftop, the stunning staircase and light shining in from downtown through the massive windows in the Dylan Room, the venue provided so many amazing photo opportunities. We were so at ease for the entire process, and we would recommend this space to anyone looking for a classy venue that is SO well-run, all of the typical stressors one might encounter in planning a wedding are completely taken care of. A special thanks to Hannah Fox who was our assigned (included in the cost of the rental) coordinator and Shannon who was the manager of the building for both our rehearsal and the entire wedding day. They were a dream team one can only........dream of! Attention to detail, charming personalities and complete support of all ideas we had!

We took swrveral tours and visits to nail down details - they were supportive and mostly transparent every step of the way. The staff went above and beyond to ensure it felt like our home for the day. The venue itself is truly a magical space - it feels like stepping into a fairytale, from the stunning murals and chandeliers to the intricate woodwork. There is so much character and a space for everyone to feel comfortable based on their vibe. They truly made the venue feel like our own for the day, and we are so grateful for the role they played in making our wedding day so special.

Quincy Hall was an incredible venue for our wedding! We had around 200 guests for our September wedding and it felt simultaneously spacious and cozy. The QH team was very responsive and helped with planning every step of the way. They were also super accommodating and helped fine ways for us to meet out budget while still getting the experience we were looking for. The venue and surrounding area had a number of spots for stunning, industrial vibe photos and we couldn't be happier with the look and feel for our day. Our food was also outstanding. We knew the food at Crave would be delicious, but we received so many compliments from guests about their meals. They have some of the most reasonable prices on the market and the catering staff were super professional and polished. Overall, we had a great experience and would highly recommend Quincy Hall!

Good venue! We didn't go with any of their preferred vendors, but were able to get approval fairly easily (but just be aware there are extra steps to get approval if you choose your own vendors). It was really nice to have all food and drinks handled by the venue, and very nice to stay in one location all day --from getting ready in the morning to the end of the night. We also received day-of-coordinator services with our package, the value of which cannot be stressed enough. Leah was extremely helpful and professional. There was also another staff member who joined us right at 8 AM to help set up our breakfast and coffee and check in on us every hour or so. Also -- all the waitstaff and bartenders were SO great. They treated our guests incredibly well. My husband and I were never without a drink or water thanks to the bartenders, who would even walk out from behind the bar to bring us something on the dancefloor. We got a lot of feedback from the guests, even a couple of weeks later, that the food was amazing. It was also super classy to have passed appetizers during cocktail hour. We ended up decorating very minimally because the indoor and outdoor space speak for themselves. I'd recommend to anyone who is looking for a full-service venue! Don't pick this place if you want to source your own food/drink or if you are concerned about your guests/wedding party following the rules (like bringing outside food or drink or vaping/smoking). You will get fined! Overall, the experience was very high-end.

We have been left speechless about our big day for the last month. If considering FIVE Event Center for your wedding, let this be your sign. All thanks have to go to the amazing coordinators, Victoria and Robyn, and their staff who made the process oh so smooth! Their communication from the first inquiry to the day of was incredible. They are up front and honest. They are open to giving recommendations, but also open to hearing yours. They work with some of the most amazing partners. Be sure to check out their preferred vendors--everyone we worked with from this list was FABULOUS! Our guests have continued to rave about our choice of venue. From the bridal/groom suites, to the beautiful brick walls and cocktail space downstairs, and everything in between! With being in Uptown, parking can be tricky. Therefore, we recommend working with their top pick of valet service-Unparalleled Parking (Especially for a Friday Wedding). The photo options are endless and truly perfect surrounding this location as well. FIVE Event is there for you to ensure your day is perfect! Stop debating and choose FIVE Event:)

The Machine Shop was the only venue my wife and I looked at for our wedding. We have performed as string quartet musicians at a plethora of venues in the Twin Cities and beyond, and this was the first and only venue where as a vendor I looked at it and thought: "I could get married here." The biggest draws were: amazing indoor location, unique space, easy to find parking, close to home, and option for both ceremony and reception to be in the same space. Communication with the venue staff was quick, fast, and easy to understand our options. The select caterers and onsite only liquor selections were excellent and had a wide variety of tastes and options. We went with Brasa and 2 hosted signature cocktails during cocktail hour - the food and drink were such a hit and people could not stop saying how great Brasa was and the cocktails! We had so much fun on our wedding night and everything came together so well. We worked with Lauren from Machine Shop and she was amazing, we got to meet with her for a wine tasting with our families and she answered all of our many questions as well as helped us figure out our drink preferences. So many of our friends and family commented on how this was one of the most fun wedding venues they had been to and we couldn't agree more!
