“I can’t say enough positive things about The Madison! From the very beginning, Brad and Louise went above and beyond to make our wedding day as memorable and stress-free as possible. They truly care about the bride and groom and work hard to ensure everything runs smoothly. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and provides the perfect backdrop for wedding photos. The natural wood throughout the barn creates a warm, rustic atmosphere that is both elegant and inviting. The intimate setting made our celebration feel personal and special while still providing plenty of space for our guests to enjoy.

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.

“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.”

“From the very beginning, the entire team was wonderful to work with. They were knowledgeable, responsive, flexible, and genuinely kind throughout the entire planning process. Planning our wedding from out of state could have been stressful, but they made everything feel easy and were always willing to answer questions and help however they could. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. It provides such a beautiful foundation that you can transform into whatever vision you have for your wedding. Whether your style is elegant, rustic, romantic, or completely unique, the space works beautifully and lets your personality shine through. One thing we really appreciated was that the venue's policies felt thoughtful and reasonable. We never felt restricted or like we were constantly being told "no." Instead, it felt like they had rules that protected the property while still allowing us the flexibility to create the wedding we wanted. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how gorgeous the venue was. Our out-of-town guests were especially amazed that a place this beautiful even exists. It truly left a lasting impression on everyone who attended. What stood out most, though, was how much the team genuinely cares. You can tell they take pride in the property and are invested in making sure every couple has an incredible experience. We are so grateful we chose The Gardens of Castle Rock and would recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful venue with an amazing team behind it.”

“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!

“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!”

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!”

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!”

“When looking for a vendor, we wanted some place we could have our wedding outside, but have a back up if you needed it. Not only is MTS farm a beautiful place to get married, they have added features in the recent years to make you’re wedding day less stressful. They’ve a great selection of decor you can chose from, so you don’t have to rent from another vendor to decorate your wedding. We just added some fresh flowers and some other small features, but majority of the decorations for our wedding came from them. We were the first to use their bridal suite. It is gorgeous, and was so fun to get ready with all my bridesmaids all in one spot. We had the make up and hair team come out to the farm. Way less stressful than going to a salon, or getting ready at the hotel. So much room for my wedding party which included myself, matron of honor, 5 bridesmaid, 1 personal attendants, and my mother all getting ready! And now they added a grooms suite on-site as well! Michele was great to work with, always so quick to respond, and really goes out of her way to make it easy on the bride and truly wants your wedding to be all that you hoped for! Would so look into renewing of vows here when that time comes around in the future!”
