Hope Glen Farm 

5.0

  • 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.

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.

My husband got married here in August of 2023 after the remodel and it was so beautiful. The Plymouth room was so beautiful and perfect for dinner and dancing. The balcony was also fantastic for guests to have space to hang out outside during cocktail hour. The garden was so exquisite that we did not need any decorations! There was plenty of parking for everyone and easy for guests to find. We worked with Nicole and she was so organized and answered all of my questions to make the day so smooth. We had the best experience at Plymouth Creek Center and would recommend this venue to anyone who wants a ceremony and reception in one beautiful spot!

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!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception on 7/21/23 and it was wonderful. Kailyn (the Events Coordinator) was professional, efficient, and friendly. She was quick to answer my emails and respond to my questions with helpful suggestions. We used the on-site catering (Three One Six) and Wendy the manager was great to work with as well. She was flexible and also quick to reply to my emails. The catering staff and bartenders ensured the reception went smoothly.

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.
