Hope Glen Farm 
  • 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
The Van Dusen Mansion was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the first time we reached out, the staff was fast, efficient, and incredibly kind throughout the entire planning process. The only downside was they have a preferred caterer that was very expensive and harder to work with since they only had specific options and plans. On the day of, their day-of coordinator was amazing - she ensured the flow of the event went smoothly and everything was executed flawlessly. The space itself is absolutely beautiful and regal, creating a truly special atmosphere for our special day.

The Commodore Bar & Restaurant

Saint Paul, MN
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $6,000

The Commodore is one of Saint Paul’s oldest and most famous establishments, which will celebrate its 100th Anniversary in 2020. It is the Twin Cities only remaining glamorous and romantic bar & restaurant from the Jazz Age, recently meticulously restored. The Commodore welcomes its guests to enjoy affordable creatively reimagined classic cocktail and dining options in an incomparable setting.

The Commodore Bar & Restaurant was a mixed bag for our wedding day. While the space was beautiful and the food was amazing, their communication style was lacking and inconsistent throughout the planning process. Our coordinator changed after we signed the contract and no one communicated that with us. I was trying to plan the details and never had any luck with responses. We finally called around to other properties they managed to track down someone who could help. When we finally got introduced to our new contact we were able to finalize our logistics for the day. I would recommend anyone utilizing this venue to have a clear communication plan in place with the staff and confirm the next steps and process to make sure you don't run into any unnecessary stress like I had. The bartenders and day-of coordinator were great, and the venue itself was the star of the show, with lots of compliments from our guests on the beautiful flow and setup. Overall, the Commodore provided a memorable wedding experience, despite some frustrations with the communication throughout the planning process.

My husband and I recently used Summit Manor Reception House for our wedding reception. It was wonderful!!! The staff was friendly, helpful and professional! They did a great job keeping the events of the night flowing and moving along and we didn't have to worry about a thing! Also, the food was delicious and they had a great variety of menus to choose from. Most of all, the owner, David, was SO accommodating, flexible and helpful!!! We had several special requests and he helped us with every one of them. Also, he was very helpful in planning the entire evening and helping our vision of the evening come true!! This is a beautiful place to have a wedding reception or any special occasion. It was perfect because people could be and do whatever they wanted throughout the evening. They could be outside or on the front porch talking and enjoying the beautiful weather, in the main room dancing, upstairs playing games or downstairs at the bar enjoying a drink! Absolutely EVERYONE enjoyed themselves!! Also, the cost is VERY affordable! There are several perks like they don't charge you to cut and serve the cake, you can bring in your own alcohol and they provide all the center pieces. Plus, you don't need to decorate because it is already such a beautiful setting. I would HIGHLY recommend using Summit Manor reception house!

Bavaria Downs

Chaska, MN

From the moment you pass through the palatial gated entrance onto the private drive, you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped off a plane and are no longer just minutes from the hustle and noise of Minneapolis. Lush, rolling hills beside meadows rich with wildflowers give way to acres of noble oak tree groves. Beyond the enchanting half mile drive through the canopy of the stately oaks, the meticulously manicured rose gardens emerge; and tucked in quiet opulence, before its own private lake, lies The Edward Anne Estate.

The Equestria West venue is absolutely stunning and the venue is structured to make for a seamless event - from the ceremony to cocktail hour and reception! The EQW team was incredibly supportive from day one and helped me select and coordinate with all of my vendors. The day-of staff were extremely organized and did the necessary prep to understand my vision so that they could execute it on the day of the wedding without needing any help from me. They truly made the experience top notch. I highly recommend this venue!!!

Beautiful space and the staff is phenomenal! Our venue manager, Victoria M., was a dream to work with - she made everything a breeze! Our ceremony involved the transportation and set up of a large amount of personal items/furniture and Victoria found a way to make it happen in the time needed, even on a holiday weekend. She saved the day when the DJ showed up unprepared, and gracefully took charge of a stressful situation. She also helped document the day, which was a surprise to me and it was so lovely to receive her photos and videos the next day. The actual ceremony was a blur so it was truly a gift to be able to experience it through her eyes. This venue is an elegant and historic space, very affordable especially in today's economic climate, they were one of the only venues that was willing to let us do ceremony only as we had an offsite reception, and the staff is just fantastic! I highly recommend!

Rolling Ridge was everything we wanted in a venue! When we first saw the venue we knew it was perfect for our day because there are many wonderful options to have your ceremony, dinner and dance. We knew no matter what that if Option A (having ceremony/dance outside) didn't work out due to weather, then we were perfectly fine with Option B which would be moving everything in doors because everywhere has great ambiance which put us at ease during the planning months. From day one they were so accommodating and truly let your visions come to life. They also were so organized and provided the best planning tools so you felt like you were always on track and they helped you think of all the little details it takes to hosting a wedding. I never felt stressed or overwhelmed when working with Rolling Ridge. All of our guests were blown away by the beauty of this venue and we can't recommend them enough to any future couples.
