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.

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.

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.

It is hard to put into words how amazing Crooked Willow is. It is unbelievably beautiful and it’s obvious Derek and Jody have poured their souls into making this venue one of a kind. Our day was very cold and windy, but our spirits never faded as we knew there was amazing interior space to take our photos. Derek and Jody spent so much time with us making sure everything was exactly the way we wanted and also gave us many options and ideas we didn’t think of that took our wedding to the next level. They are wedding pros! They also bring to the table an extended network of small businesses that, when married in unison (pun intended) with Crooked Willow, operate like a Swiss watch. Seriously, every company we worked with was recommended by Crooked Willow and they did not miss the mark! We had one minor hiccup on our rehearsal day, I let Derek know and he handled it without us even knowing, no worries. These guys are here for you on your wedding day, they truly get it and understand it’s the most important day. They are extremely responsive to messages and ideas. Derek was also our bartender which was really cool. Ultimately, if I could marry my wife a second time I would and I would do it at Crooked Willow!

Green Acres Event center was absolutely gorgeous! It caught our eyes online and we immediately wanted to see it in person! We went and toured, were greeted by friendly staff and showed around the property! From the beauty of the barn on the outside the the gorgeous detailing and sparkle from the chandeliers on the inside all the way to the stunning bridal suite, we knew when we walked through the doors this was our wedding venue! Robyn was absolutely amazing to work with from any questions I had while planning all the way through the day of. She made the day seem seamless and even helped me stay calm in the chaos!

When looking at venues online I stumbled across Adler Ranch. As soon as I saw it I knew I wanted our wedding reception to be there. I made an appointment to view it with my family and fiancé. It was the only venue we viewed and we signed the contract immediately after the tour. There is no other venue quite like Adler ranch. While wedding planning I was extremely stressed out. As a Type A bride I wanted everything to be perfect. Marlys was there for me every step of the way with anything I needed. On the wedding day Marlys was so helpful and was there for all the behind the scenes. She made sure everything ran smoothly. My day wouldn’t have been as perfect if it wasn’t for her. She truly cares and wants your day to be absolutely wonderful. Guests at our reception were in awe of the beauty of it and I even got asked how I found it. There’s so much for adults and kids to explore. I am beyond grateful to have found Adler Ranch. Thank you!

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!
