Hope Glen Farm

Cottage Grove, MN
  • Venue
  • 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.

Hope Glen Farm was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From the very first communication, the team was clear, detailed, and incredibly personable. They went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our special day was executed flawlessly. The coordination meetings leading up to the wedding, along with the helpful client portal, kept us on track and confident that everything would be perfect. On the day of, the staff was amazingly helpful and attentive - Eryka in particular was a true godsend, keeping us organized and responsive to our every need. The Bridal Bliss decor package they offer is a must, as the venue looked absolutely beautiful and pristine. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and feel the value we received was worth every penny. Plus a wedding night in a Tree House or Corn Crib Cottage? How can you beat that?! We highly recommend Hope Glen Farm to any couple looking for a stress-free, stunning wedding celebration.

Michelle Huber Photography

Cottage Grove, MN
  • Photographer

  • Starts at $3,600

I believe every wedding deserves the absolute best, no matter what the budget. I am fortunate to have been able to work with some of the most wonderful and interesting couples over the 20 plus years that I have been photographing weddings. I am inspired by my couples, and always strive to grow and improve both as an artist and a human being-never stop learning and enjoying life to the fullest!

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife, Kristin, and I initially had engagement photos taken in Denver, CO. When Kristin began looking for a wedding photographer, she scoured for the best in Minnesota. The Knot led us to Michelle Huber Photography and her portfolio was spectacular. Fortunately, Michelle was available for our wedding date because her schedule was rapidly filling up. Despite having a set of engagement photos already taken, we could not turn down an opportunity with Michelle. I want to stress that her photography skills and abilities are magnificent. During the engagement photo session, her personality elevated the entire experience. It was as if we were working with an old friend. Michelle kept the experience lighthearted, she was patient when bystanders meandered into the shot, and never once did we feel as if the session was awkward. Needless to say, after the engagement photo session, we were excited to see her on the wedding day. On the actual wedding day, Michelle and her husband, Trent, are consummate professionals. Trent stayed with my groomsmen and myself, while Michelle was with Kristin and her bridesmaids. While Michelle deserves all the praise that she is due, Trent is on an equal plane. He captured wonderful in-the-moment photos and deftly staged everybody when it was necessary. Never once did I feel like he was an intrusion or the experience was inorganic. When the time came from the first look, transition to the ceremony site, and our numerous stops, Michelle and Trent did not miss a beat. The sheer amount of wholesome candid photos demonstrate their professionalism. We are still surprised at the details that we missed when we were in the moment. We are fortunate that Michelle and Trent captured these moments for us. I must recognize Michelle and Trent's flexibility. I am of Chinese-descent and my parents wanted to perform a tea ceremony prior to the actual ceremony. Michelle and Trent graciously made adjustments and captured this important moment for our families to experience. My family is grateful for their willingness to memorialize a family custom that was not highlighted on our itinerary. Overall, our experience with Michelle Huber Photography is phenomenal. My brother-in-law was impressed with the level of professionalism, quality, and skill, so he booked Michelle and Trent as well. Needless to say, I was overjoyed to work with them again. After that, my best friend/groomsman, Brian, also took my recommendation and booked Michelle. Every time I worked with them, the experience continues to raise the level of expectation for other professionals. We pick back up on old conversations and check-in on life changes. I am highly confident that other Minnesota/Midwest-based photography services cannot match Michelle Huber Photography. If you, the purveyor of professional services, want the best, do not hesitate to contact Michelle Huber. All other offerings will only disappoint and you will lament over what could have been with Michelle Huber Photogrphy. At this point, I am running out of marriage-ready friends to recommend but I will continue to shout their praises.

We cannot recommend Erica highly enough! She was an integral part of our wedding day from helping us think through our schedule to keeping us on track and worrying about the details so we could enjoy our day. I could go on and on, but here are a few of the reasons we loved working with Erica: Organized Erica’s excellent with details. She communicated regularly through a professional online portal and was available any time we needed to talk. There were recommended wedding day activities and timing which she adjusted to help us fit what we wanted. Erica also kept our wedding day moving according to the schedule and made sure to work with a couple designated family members so we didn’t have to do any work on the day of our wedding. Professional and Personable Erica was incredibly professional throughout all our communication. During our wedding day, she coordinated many family members and was very kind and patient. Engagement and wedding photos can be a little daunting, but Erica made it all run very smoothly. By incorporating some activity into our sessions, she kept us from feeling awkward just taking canned photos. High quality photos We’ve been thrilled with how many photos Erica delivered and how high quality they are. They’re great both digitally and in print. Depending on the package you choose, there are also print credits available through Erica’s print shop.

Not only is she extremely talented, but she is one of the kindest and most genuine people I have ever met. She flew in for our big day despite having just lost two family members. When people entered my hotel room to find us chatting whilst I was in the "makeup chair", they asked us how we had met each other and how long we had been friends! :) That is the kind of warmth she exudes.

Hi, there! I am Allie, an internationally published fine art photographer. What's unique to my craft is the focus on small details to tell the complete story of your love. From your candid laughs together to the way your grandmother's eyes well with tears when she sees you walk down the aisle - no detail is too small. We’ve had so many sweet couples from around the world trust us - from our own backyard in MN to the Coasts & even Internationally. I've had the honor of being nominated as the Top 3 Photographers in MN & the experience of photographing over 150 weddings. But each feels completely unique & gives me the joy of butterflies

Awarded Best of Zola
First, we were immediately drawn to Allie’s timeless, bright, and airy photography style. From the moment that we spoke with Allie during our phone consultation, we felt very comfortable with her and knew she would be the perfect fit as our wedding photographer! Allie photographed our engagement session in downtown Stillwater, a boudoir session (Allie also designed a keepsake boudoir book that I gave to my husband as his wedding gift), and our wedding day. Throughout all of the sessions, Allie was kind, warm, patient, gave us helpful prompts/poses, and guided us every step of the way! Whenever I had questions regarding photography, Allie was very responsive and provided wonderful customer service. She also helped us to create a detailed photography timeline and shot list for the wedding day. On the wedding day, Allie and her second shooter were very professional, prepared, and helped to keep everyone on track, including the bridal party and our families. After the wedding, we received way more photos than we were expecting in our online gallery, which were beautifully edited with her special touch. Allie exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond in all areas. We’ll cherish our photos for years to come and highly recommend Alexandra Robyn Photo & Design!

Awarded Best of Zola
Tracy & Kyle are fantastic artists and teammates! They made our wedding experience such a fun journey every step of the way and we were blown away by how fantastic all of our photos turned out in both our engagement and wedding day photos. We met with them in-person twice for consultations and felt so comfortable talking with them and sharing our experiences as fellow wedding-industry workers. The rate at which we received our photos after our engagement shoot and our wedding was perfect! They sent a few samples that showed the quality and attention to detail, and the remaining complete albums were sent within a week! So fast but so much attention to detail and great editing. We also loved their blog posts as a way to share photos with friends and family and we enjoyed browsing other couples' albums as well! As a same-sex mixed race couple, we really appreciated their wide portfolio of diverse couples of LGBTQIA and BIPOC clients.

Awarded Best of Zola
10 out of 10 recommend! I want to start off by saying that I am a very type A bride but also a big DIYer and music fanatic. All of that makes me a difficult person to please but this team did it! I spent months planning every detail of my wedding, down to choreographer-like timing on my music and I won’t lie, when I tried to plan details with them months before and was told they prefer to discuss details the week of the wedding (so that details are ACTUALLY finalized), I was a bit stressed. However, all of my stress, worry, and fears melted away after an early on problem solving call with Ben, a very detail-oriented call with Luke the week of the wedding, and of course, our wonderful DJ Josiah putting in the time and effort to make sure he and I were on the same page with all of my very specific requests and overly detailed information! I would highly recommend DJ Sound Productions & Entertainment to anyone for all of your DJing needs! This is a pretty long review, but this team is well deserving of all of these words! Like I mentioned above, I am a challenge to please, especially when it comes to a day as important as my wedding day and for me, music being one of the most important components of the day. If you’re like me, book this team and rest assured, because DJ Sound Productions & Entertainment executed my wishes down to the smallest details and Josiah was the literal BEST! Thank you so much for making my music dreams come true!

We absolutely would recommend The Jerome to anyone and everyone! The modern industrial setting was perfect for us and we especially loved the layout of the building. Having everything we needed in one space without worrying about transporting guests was perfect. Also, having a coordinator to work closely with was a life saver! Raleigh is great and the day truly would not have gone as smooth as it did without her. With a hotel and bar close by, preferred vendors listed, and an airbnb for us to stay in the night of, The Jerome checked all of our boxes and we are so glad we chose to have our wedding here!

I love planning - like seriously, love it! I started seeing how friends and family were so stressed out about their weddings and wanted so badly to help. Who likes seeing the people they care about struggling and stressed out? After the first few times helping with their big days, I knew this was my passion. I truly enjoy giving people the ability to enjoy their day. I love spending time with my husband attending sporting events, playing softball, camping, and loving our fur children. I absolutely LOVE traveling, especially to DISNEY! Event planning makes me happy and I am passionate about bringing joy to your big day!

Leading up to the big day I had several great meeting with Ackin Events to help prepare me and make sure we were on the same page. It really took a lot of weight off my shoulders knowing I could work with a professional on timeline, decor and so much more! The day-of ran smoothly and was GORGEOUS thanks to Sammy and her team. They put in so much work to make sure every detail was perfect. I know that Sammy truly cared about me as a person and wanted to ensure the best day for my partner and I!

Her communication style is top-notch, and they truly went above and beyond to ensure our engagement was captured perfectly. The quality of her work is simply stunning - the photos are cinematic, strong, and absolutely gorgeous. Libby made us feel like models, teaching us how to pose naturally. She's a true genius behind the camera, and the final photos exceeded our wildest expectations. We still have family members raving about how beautiful the photos turned out.

Is simple really. I want to capture real moments and create beautiful portraits for you. Portraits that you will enjoy looking at long after your wedding. I believe that wedding photography doesn't have to be boring. I don't want to just give you pictures. I want to create works of art that you will be proud to hang in your home. Building friendships & relationships are another goal of mine as well. If I have created a story documenting your day, we had some fun doing it, and your friends all say your wedding photographer was amazing then I accomplished my goal.

Awarded Best of Zola
I loved working with Katie! I showed her a picture of exactly what I wanted my cake to look like and she NAILED it! It was even better than the picture! She was very affordable and super transparent about pricing. The original cake design I showed her was done with fondant but due to how expensive it was I went with buttercream and was a bit worried it wouldn’t turn out as nice but it turned out better than I could have ever hoped! I also sent her some color swatches and she nailed the colors! The pick up process was quick and smooth as well! If you are on the fence on who should do your cake you NEED to pick Katie! She truly is amazing!
