“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.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better venue than Union Depot for our wedding. The venue manager was clear, communicative, and flexible throughout the planning process. She helped us with deadlines, floor plan adjustments, parking validations, access to getting-ready spaces, and being on-site the day of to support with our wedding coordinator. We also appreciated how affordable the venue and getting ready spaces cost for our budget. The venue itself was beautiful, and it was a relief to do a final walkthrough and drop off decorations the day before the event. The Waiting Room setup with digital signage, pipe and drape made it easy for guests to know where to go, and Union Depot offered stunning indoor and outdoor photo options, which was especially important given the unpredictability of the weather conditions. We can’t wait to visit Union Depot in the future to hop on the train/bus and reminisce on our wedding day there.”

“I thought overall the New Brandon community center was a wonderful venue and the coordinator of events Britain McDonald was very helpful. Communicating was best through email, and I got a much quicker response using email. Your only thing I would say is they need to update their stereo system and their audio visual equipment. In order for us to play music over the speakers, we had to plug our devices into a a older worn input cord, and it was staticky, and the room is a separate area. So the person that was doing our music had to miss out on our ceremony because they were in another room having to hit next or play on their device to get music. So an updated system or updated way of doing it would be awesome!”

“We recently held our daughter's wedding ceremony and reception at Avalon. From our first conversation with Kelly and our tour of the beautiful, historic, and functional spaces, we knew we had found our venue. Kelly was organized and responsive every step of the way, always thinking ahead about what we would need before we even asked. Her communication with us and our vendors was excellent and timely. Avalon's many rooms, staircases, three stories of books, columns, and proximity to Rice Park provided many beautiful photo settings. The getting-ready suites (two each) for the bride and groom are gorgeous and gave the wedding party the perfect space to prepare for the ceremony. Kelly was available throughout the day and handled any issue that came up with calm competence, which really helped this stressed MOB. We received many compliments from our guests who were amazed by the unique and beautiful space. We couldn't have asked for a better space or experience to celebrate a wedding day.”
