About this venue
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.

Historic Hope Glen Farm Barn
This barn is the existing barn from the pre-civil war era.
We have kept some of its unique charm (wooden dowels) as screws from the original build. However, it has been fully renovated with insolation, along with adding heat and air-conditioning to accommodate Minnesota weather. This space is perfect for lively dance and entertainment. Included with the venue rental are dining tables and chairs, dimmable café lights and chandeliers, DJ lighting, and a photo booth.

An Absolutely Magical Venue!
**An Absolutely Magical Venue and an Exceptional Team!** We cannot say enough wonderful things about Hope Glen Farm! This venue is truly outstanding in every way. From the gorgeous ceremony setting and beautiful dining pavilion to the outdoor cocktail area, fabulous barn for dancing, and exceptional bridal suite and groom's quarters, every space is thoughtfully designed and absolutely stunning. The on-site lodging for the bride and groom, included with the venue rental, is another wonderful perk, along with additional accommodations available for family members. Having everything in one location made the entire day flow seamlessly, without guests having to travel between events. We received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful and unique the venue was! We opted for the Bridal Bliss planning package, and it was hands down one of the best decisions we made! Eryka, Mollie, and their incredible team went above and beyond to make our daughter's wedding day absolutely perfect. They coordinated the ceremony and reception timeline, kept everyone organized and on schedule, and handled the setup and takedown of our extensive wedding décor with remarkable efficiency. By the end of the evening, everything was beautifully packed up and ready to go. After a long and wonderful day of celebrating, having all of that taken care of was an absolute blessing! The entire team was professional, attentive, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making the day special. Our daughter and her new husband both said it was the best day of their lives, and we couldn't agree more! We will be forever grateful to the Hope Glen Farm and Bridal Bliss teams for helping create such a beautiful, memorable, and stress-free celebration. **If you're considering Hope Glen Farm for your wedding, look no further. You will not be disappointed!**

Perfect venue for our special day
We LOVED having our wedding at Hope Glen Farm. The setting is picturesque and peaceful but ideally located near the Twin Cities for easy access, especially for out of town guests. Aside from the natural beauty, we appreciated how much Hope Glen provided to make planning so much simpler. We had a great experience working with their wedding coordinators, who were not only kind, friendly, and professional, but also took care of everything on the wedding day so we could focus on enjoying our time together and with our guests. This venue was especially ideal since we were planning from out of town - having so much taken care of by the venue made the distance a non-issue. And of course, getting to stay in the Tree House was such a treat! We would definitely recommend Hope Glen Farm.

From our first call to Hope Glen Farm, Erika, Paula and Michael answered every question we had with speed and clarity. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, and we loved how the natural beauty of the space meant we didn't need to do much decorating. Their entire crew showed up on the day of our wedding ready to help with every detail, making the whole experience feel effortless. We were blessed with gorgeous weather, and combined with Hope Glen's gorgeous grounds, it all came together perfectly. Erika made sure everything ran smoothly and turned what could have been stressful into a truly memorable day. We can't recommend Hope Glen Farm enough.

Oversold and Overworked- Profit Seeking
Hope Glen Farm was convenient since it's close to our home and the airport, which is why we decided this was it. While the venue looks good in photos, the staff seemed too busy to stay involved throughout our planning process. The space is mostly outdoor and quite large, but the draw of that is also a drawback. They have strict rules about everything, so freedom is limited, and managing such a big property felt cumbersome. We ended up doing a lot of DIY work to make our day feel special, but honestly, the venue sells itself better than it delivers on actual service. They are not flexible and like to churn and burn routines. Unless you're set on a simple rustic wedding and don't mind handling most of the details yourself, I'd look elsewhere. Their photos in marketing are styled shoots and most information and photos are 10 years or older now.
Michael Bushilla•Sep 3, 2026Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad our location and setting initially appealed to you, but we’re sorry to hear that your experience with the planning process and level of support did not meet your expectations. We understand that our large, primarily outdoor property and venue guidelines may not be the right fit for every couple. Our policies are intended to help protect the property and keep events running safely and smoothly, but we recognize that they can sometimes feel restrictive. We’re also sorry that you felt you had to take on more DIY work than anticipated and that our communication did not feel as consistent or involved as you needed. We take your comments about our marketing materials and the accuracy of current information seriously and will review them as we continue updating how we represent the venue. We appreciate your feedback because it helps us identify areas where we can improve. Michael Paula and Eryka

Our Wonderful Wedding - May 23 2025
Our wedding at Hope Glen was absolutely beautiful. Michael and Paula have done a wonderful job making the property look nice and have great staff. The treehouse was amazing to be able to stay in the night of and we will absolutely be going back sometime. The only thing that came up was the girl who did our morning orientation did a very poor job. She was young and didn't really seem to know what she was talking about, and left us with little to no helpful information day of. There were a few things, such as the hanging basket that she wouldn't have even told us how to do if we didn't ask, which isn't helpful because we don't know the venue like she does. Ultimately, I would absolutely go back if I could! I look forward to reliving the memories everytime I drive by!!
Michael Bushilla•Sep 3, 2026Thank you so much Autumn, for sharing such a thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you loved your wedding at Hope Glen, enjoyed staying in the treehouse, and appreciated the property and our team. It means so much to know that you’ll be returning and reliving those special memories whenever you drive by. We’re also grateful for your honest feedback about the morning orientation. We’re sorry that the information provided was not as thorough or helpful as it should have been, especially on such an important day. We’ll be reviewing our orientation process with the team to ensure couples receive clear, complete guidance about details like the hanging basket and other venue features. Thank you again for celebrating with us and for helping us improve. We would absolutely love to welcome you back to Hope Glen in the future!
