“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!”

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 is truly an exceptional wedding venue, and we cannot say enough about the incredible team behind it. From the very beginning, communication with the venue manager, Eryka, was outstanding. She is the definition of professional — organized, responsive, calm under pressure, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. Her guidance made the entire planning process feel seamless and stress-free. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking. The grounds are beautifully maintained, offering a romantic, storybook setting that feels both elegant and welcoming. One of the highlights was the stunning treehouse where we stayed on our wedding night — complete with a cozy fireplace, jacuzzi, and full kitchen. It was the perfect, private retreat to unwind and soak in the joy of the day. What truly sets Hope Glen Farm apart is the thoughtful layout of the space. Each area — from the ceremony site to cocktail hour to the reception and dance floor — flows effortlessly into the next. Our guests were able to move comfortably throughout the celebration, and everything felt natural and well-paced. The entire property creates an immersive experience rather than just a single event space. The value for what you receive is unmatched. Being able to bring in our own alcohol saved us thousands of dollars without sacrificing quality, and their catering options were phenomenal. Our guests are still talking about how incredible the food was — which says everything. If you’re looking for a venue that combines natural beauty, flexibility, professionalism, and an unforgettable atmosphere, Hope Glen Farm exceeds every expectation. We would choose it again in a heartbeat. Plus it was only 20 minutes from the airport our out of town guests really loved that.”

“We could not have asked for a better experience at Green Acres. From the moment we toured it we knew it was the one. It has so much character compared to some of these new "modern" venues that are just plain and require a lot of decorating from your end, which we did not want. The staff was super friendly and communicative from the very beginning- They are so organized and I felt like I was in such good hands throughout the whole wedding planing process. Megan specifically was so wonderful and really payed attention to detail to make sure our vision came to life all the way through our special day! I would definitely recommend Green Acres for a "outside of the city" feel without the long drive!”

“Been working weddings at the refuge for over 19 years. Hands down my favorite place to work with. The staff and food are as good as it get's. They will bend over backwords for you to make all your needs met. The place is beautiful like a ski lodge in Aspen with amazing place's for picture's and sunset. I have seen a bride change her mind 4 times before the ceremony on where to do it because of rain. The staff had all the chairs and wiped down and moved in under 13 minutes. Yes we moved 189 guest's 3 times in under 30 minutes because that is what the bride wanted on her day was outside. Sun came out and it rocked, and all we did was cut into 25 minutes of social hour. I could tell you stories for days and not one of them are bad. Joe, Krista and Lisa and the rest of the staff work very hard to make your wedding day everything you dreamed of. LUKE”

“We got married at the Bluebelle in early July and had a great experience! We 100% made the right decision choosing to get married at the Bluebelle, and would highly recommend to others! It's so nice having everything at one place, and the spaces are so beautiful it really cuts down on decor that you need - saving money, time, and decisions to be made! Communication was also great and timely, and I loved being able to visit the venue multiple times leading up to the wedding. More detailed overview: The decor set up was beautiful and everything came together better than I was even imagining. They brought our vision to life and paid attention to all the little details. Everything was just so perfect and stress-free for us. I barely saw anyone setting anything up or taking anything down, it just magically happened! I had several guests tell us many times since the wedding how beautiful of a place it was, both the outdoor ceremony site, the patio space and the reception area. A special shoutout to Jessa as well. We specifically worked with her for the personal coordinator add on and she was amazing! I found it difficult sometimes planning a wedding because it was my first (and last of course!) time doing so! So it's priceless getting the opinions/thoughts/guidenance from someone that has seen a ton of weddings, at that specific venue, and what works good, what might not, timing/flow, how things take, etc. Jessa also completely saved the day by helping figuring out how to bustle my dress as my gals were struggling a bit haha. She also answered all of my never ending questions quickly, and took my way over detailed binder on the day of and executed everything perfectly and had everything set up beautifully! Lastly, the optional add ons that Bluebelle offers are super helpful. Getting the shuttle to take guests to the venue in addition to bringing them back was a really good idea and packed with people. And we LOVED the batched cocktails option. We did two different drinks named after our dogs and they were SO good. They were a huge hit and very cute. Long review but I know when I was looking at venues I appreciated detailed reviews. Overall, we had a great experience, everything went smooth, the Bluebelle staff is great, the location is great, the venue is beautiful and it was literally the best day of our lives. We are so thankful! Thank you Bluebelle!”

“Adler Ranch was a great wedding venue! Marlys was very helpful during the whole experience, answering all of our questions and helping out! She also provided lists of potential vendors which were greatly appreciated! Something that is neat as well is that they offer decor that you can borrow! We really liked that option because we hate having to throw things away when you only used it once! They also help clean up and take down at the end of the night which is amazing!! The venue itself is super cool. Our wedding guests all commented on how cool it was!! It was a perfect mix for us of retro, unique, and in nature. It provided many super cool photo opportunities!! My only thing that I would note is that you have rooms you can get ready in, but when the ceremony starts they lock those rooms and you can’t leave things in there. I do wish that we were able to keep our personal belongings in there until the end of the night, even if it was just unlocked at the end of the night by the Venue. They recommend all personal belongings be in someone’s car. It was hard because the wedding party took shuttles there. Otherwise, we had an amazing time and were very happy with our choice in venue!”

“We felt incredibly supported throughout the wedding planning process. Brittany was so attentive to all of my questions leading up to our big day. She and her day of team did a flawless job executing the day and our guests commented on how well-run the whole day went, which is always a relief to hear! The food was so amazing and all of the desserts were the biggest hit! The bridal and groom's suites were exceptional and we had so much space to spread out. I loved that we had access to those spaces the whole night so that we could store our things in there as well as find a quiet place to reset! I wish we could experience our day at Equestria West all over again!”

Their communication was on point throughout the planning process they answered every question quickly and gave us the details we needed to feel confident about our big day. We had a squirrel incident at rehearsal that knocked out power to part of the venue, but they handled it without us having to lift a finger and everything was fixed before our ceremony. Behind the scenes, Jen and her team managed so much that we never had to worry about anything. The rustic beauty of the space combined with their original touches made our day feel truly special. We can't thank them enough for making our wedding day run so smoothly.”

“We had our wedding here and overall had a beautiful experience! The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and really speaks for itself—you truly don’t need to do much decorating to make it feel special. There are beautiful outdoor spaces, plenty of room for guests, and so many great spots for photos. We loved having so many options for both our wedding party and couple portraits. The downstairs getting-ready area is also very spacious, which was a huge plus for our wedding party. One thing to note is that the bridal suite only had a refrigerator, while the groom’s suite did not have one. For food, we ended up choosing the pasta bar. It was good and worked well for our guests, although it wasn’t necessarily the standout part of the meal. We originally considered the beef and chicken options, but after our tastings, we weren’t as impressed with those options and ultimately felt the pasta bar was the better choice for us. One of the biggest conveniences is that the venue can provide a large majority of what you need, which made planning easier. However, I would recommend comparing prices and asking questions about what is included, as some of the add-ons can be quite expensive. We also experienced some confusion throughout the planning process about what was and wasn’t included/provided for certain items. We worked with three different wedding coordinators during the process, so I think some of that may have been due to the coordinator transitions rather than the venue itself. That said, having everything clearly outlined in writing would have made the planning process much easier. We also want to give a huge shoutout to DJ Rick! He was fantastic to work with, very accommodating to some of the fun little requests we had, and did an amazing job keeping the energy up throughout the night. He kept our dance floor going and was a definite highlight of the reception! One other thing we would recommend to future couples is taking the website information with a grain of salt. The venue has changed and updated quite a bit, and we noticed that some of the photos and tour information online were outdated. The venue is even more beautiful in person, but the outdated information did make it a little confusing when trying to plan our décor and envision the space. Overall, we absolutely loved our wedding day and are so happy we chose this venue. There are a few things we would recommend future couples ask about and clarify during the planning process, but the beauty of the venue, the space, the photo opportunities, and the overall experience made it a wonderful place to celebrate our wedding. We would definitely recommend taking a tour and seeing it in person!”

“Rustic Oaks is beautiful and the barn is so cozy and charming. There's a separate get-ready house and a 10 bed/10 bath house for all of the bridal party to hang out in. We couldn't have asked for a better venue!! Addison was the cherry on top. I bought bulk florals from a wholesaler and she stepped up to put them together into a ceremony piece for me. She is AMAZING as a day-of coordinator and was so communicative all throughout the process. This weekend was the best weekend of our lives and a lot of it is thanks to Addison and Rustic Oaks!”
