We had our wedding at Afton House Inn and held our reception on St. Croix River Cruises, and it was truly special. From our first conversation, the team was responsive and reliable, checking in on us often and even letting us arrive earlier than we planned. The venues themselves are charming with natural lighting that made our photos look incredible. Everything ran smoothly thanks to their efficient planning and attention to detail. We felt taken care of throughout the entire day, and honestly, it exceeded what we hoped for. I would absolutely recommend these venues to anyone looking for a wedding experience that feels both elegant and easy.

Outstanding venue for our wedding
Afton House Inn is a gem just 15 minutes south of Stillwater, nestled on the St Croix river. We would highly recommend it! Jessie Ebert is wonderful- going the extra 10 miles for coordination of every detail. Helpful, supportive, offering ideas or just solving problems. Venue: the Wheel Room was perfect for our close and intimate 50 people reception, after having the ceremony just outside.

Rehearsal Dinner Brider
The team at Afton House Inn and St. Croix River Cruises were a pleasure to work with for our rehearsal dinner dining experience. They were professional which put me at ease throughout the planning process. They provided excellent service, were incredibly friendly, and went out of their way to be accommodating of our needs. Our guests raved about the food and cozy atmosphere of the Pennington Private Dining Room. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and are so grateful to the Afton House team for helping make our rehearsal dinner so special. Forever grateful!
