The Madison was an incredible venue for our wedding. From the moment we heard the ownership was changing our hearts dropped. But Brad and Louise were extremely clear and available to answer any and all of our questions (even honored all of our odd/weird requests). On the day of the wedding, they went completely above and beyond to ensure our special day was perfect. The venue itself is open, spacious, and cozy - creating the ideal atmosphere for our celebration. The owners are the most caring and sweet people, and they truly made us feel at home. We are so grateful to have had our wedding at The Madison and would recommend it to any couple looking for a beautiful, welcoming, and stress-free venue.

Hope Glen Farm 

5.0

Cottage Grove, MN
  • Up to 280 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • 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.

Green Acres was an absolute dream for our wedding on May 25th! The barn is breathtaking—rustic, romantic, and full of charm. Our ceremony upstairs felt magical, and the entire day flowed seamlessly thanks to Megan, our amazing venue manager. She truly went above and beyond. The downstairs space was perfect for the cocktail hour, and the bridal suite shed out back was adorable—plenty of room for me and my seven bridesmaids. One of the biggest hits was the fire pit with the s’mores package—such a fun, cozy touch to end the night. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful or well-run venue. Green Acres made our wedding unforgettable!

Been working weddings at the refuge for over 19 years. Hands down my favorite place to work with. The staff and food are as good as it get's. They will bend over backwords for you to make all your needs met. The place is beautiful like a ski lodge in Aspen with amazing place's for picture's and sunset. I have seen a bride change her mind 4 times before the ceremony on where to do it because of rain. The staff had all the chairs and wiped down and moved in under 13 minutes. Yes we moved 189 guest's 3 times in under 30 minutes because that is what the bride wanted on her day was outside. Sun came out and it rocked, and all we did was cut into 25 minutes of social hour. I could tell you stories for days and not one of them are bad. Joe, Krista and Lisa and the rest of the staff work very hard to make your wedding day everything you dreamed of. LUKE

I just have to say…my husband and I were very blessed to have the most magical wedding and it was mainly because of Marlys and Kurt, owners of Adler Ranch. I have seen so many reviews of “I wish our wedding venue would have told us (fill in the blank here)before we booked” there was none of that with Adler Ranch. They were very up front with what we could and couldn’t expect. Honestly Marlys goes above and beyond to make sure you have the best day. Now let’s talk about the venue. We seriously still have guests saying that was the most memorable wedding they have ever been too because the venue is so unique and one of a kind! I was so worried about not having a Photo Booth at my wedding and even my wedding planner told me “seriously I know it’s my job to upsell you on this but you don’t need it with all the natural backdrops at Adler Ranch” I seriously miss my wedding planning because it was so fun to work with Marlys and Adler Ranch. I 100% recommend having your wedding or event here you will not regret it!

My wife and I got married at North Star Farm in July. We are so happy with the choice we made to get married there. First off, Rebecca was an absolute joy to work with throughout the whole process, she was so much help in answering any questions we had lowering the stress level. Loved that the venue has both a bridal suite(the farmhouse) and a grooms suite(in the dairy barn). I must say from my own experience, the grooms suite is really cool. Our parents kept commenting on how organized everything turned out. Thanks to Rebecca, she didn’t miss a thing. We loved the fact they had decor to use, so we didn’t have to bring any of our own, other than some engagement photos. Oh yeah, I cannot forget about the lighting there, both inside and out. It feels like a different place once the day turns to night, it’s magical. Outside Edison string lights all around. Warm patio lighting and a fire pit. Inside the Uplighting, which is included, that matched our colors too. One of the coolest things that sets this venue apart from all the others we toured was that they have their own dance floor lighting. If you choose one of their recommended DJs, those DJs get full access and control of lighting. Its pretty impressive and I highly recommend going in this direction. Their catering options made it hard to choose just one, but we managed to do so. Their ceremony area is shaded, and all the building on the property have AC including the reception barn! All are musts for a July wedding. Long story short - We cannot say enough about North Star Farm, Rebecca & Scott, and all their staff. If we had to do it again we wouldn’t change a thing about our day or the venue. They were our number one choice! Highly recommend!

CTA is a beautiful venue nestled away from the hustle and bustle of town, yet easily accessible.

The bridal suite was large and functional. The guys also had their own getting-ready area on the second level of the grain bin, which was such a cool feature. 10/10!

FireFly Event Barn has been doing classic barn weddings before there was a trend. You could say they quite possibly started the nostalgic movement in Northern MN. As a wedding DJ I cannot say enough good things about this venue and it’s owners. Professionally I can share a few of the things I like most about FirFly. Lindsey is the coordinator and a wedding enthusiast. To her, weddings are not just her business but there is a personal sense of enthusiasm with every new couple. The venue is always clean, stocked with the necessities and accessible. The flexibility allows every couple to put their own personal touches into every wedding. The outdoor ceremony pavilion is right out of Country Living Magazine and your photos will be astonishing. The bridal suite is a cute and private place for the bride and her girls to get ready and relax. For the guys there is another suite to tell stories and share memories with the nervous groom. If you do not want to be seen before the wedding this is how it’s done. Outside there is plenty of room for mingling, yard games and if you want to hang out with your fiancé before your vows that is also totally cool. There is plenty of room for your guests and a great list of catering solutions. On a personal level, The Nicklason’s are just good people. Family oriented, loved in the community, hard working, genuine, and believers in the true beauty of positivity. Many couples come to FireFly hoping to intertwine their families and wind up leaving with two new friends in Lindsey and Brent. One of my favorite venues and I’m always happy and excited to be there whenever possible. Ryan Burns Spectrum Entertainment

We so enjoyed hosting our wedding & reception at Cedar Creek. Its location was close to town for guests coming from far away, yet far enough away to have a true country feel. The barn allowed us to host an indoor ceremony due to less than ideal weather, while the pavilion hosted our larger number of guests for dinner and dancing. We were able to truly make this space feel like our own. The property is filled with amazing natural photo opportunities as well. Would highly recommend this venue for those looking to be more budget friendly or hands-on and have the barn wedding they've always wanted!

Our ol' 10 acre charm farm dates back to before MN was a state in the abstract. It's been in Brady’s family since the summer of '69 and we plan to keep it that way for generations to come. The original family that homesteaded the property came from Czechoslovakia. They built the hand-hewn log cabin on a boulder foundation and owned it for 112 years. Brady grew up in the home since '87 which has transformed over time into the gem that we have today. We kickstarted our journey at GarageTown LLC with our wedding in August, 2021. We look forward to creating more memories and sharing our historic and creative property with you! Forever Grateful, Brady & Jenni

I photographed a wedding at GarageTownLLC, and I fell in love with the place. Jennifer & Brady are the sweetest people, and their farm is magical. I loved the custom details, the mature trees, and the pond. It was a beautiful place to have a wedding. I highly recommend it!

When we began looking for possible wedding venues, we came across the Outback and was the best decision we could have made. The venue location sits beautifully in the bluffs and is isolated enough that we felt like our wedding was ours and everything we needed was either provided to us by Holly or was easy to find. Our guests stayed in LaCrosse and it was easy for us to get transportation to and from the venue. One of the biggest pluses was having the apartments available to us. We were able to arrive and stay at the venue the entire weekend. Which made everything less stressful for us. Cannot recommend this venue more.

About wedding venues in Minnesota

Minnesota offers incredible wedding backdrops that span from the Mississippi River Valley to the North Shore. You'll find everything from historic mansions to modern industrial spaces and charming rustic barns; all ready to host your special day in this diverse landscape.

What Makes Minnesota Wedding Venues Unique?

Minnesota venues really shine when it comes to seasonal transformation. Take The Hutton House with its floor-to-ceiling glass that showcases lush summer gardens or pristine winter snowscapes depending on when you visit. PAIKKA in St. Paul features experimental plant walls and flexible spaces you can customize, while Legacy Hill Farm near the Twin Cities gives you climate-controlled areas that accommodate up to 295 guests with full accessibility.

You'll find Minnesota venue costs typically range between $5,800 and $7,000; noticeably lower than the national benchmark of $6,500 to $12,000 which typically eats up about 25% of your total wedding budget.
