There was plenty of space on the property, while also giving a close-knit, family environment feel. Pictures here turned out beautifully. They have a small suite for the bridal party where the girls can get ready. The owners were great and quick to respond. Tim and Lindsey were super easy to work with. She was always super energetic and willing to help me with last minute solutions. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the Mankato, MN area who’s looking for a wedding venue!!

We used the Capitol Room for both our Ceremony and Reception and it was absolutely perfect! The space is stunning and holds a lot of character. We had plenty of space for both my wife and I to get ready in two separate suites. There was a separate space for everyone to enjoy cocktail hour while the room was flipped for the reception and dance. From the minute we toured the space we knew it was where we wanted to have our wedding. Sitting down with Megan was an absolute delight. We hired her for her day of coordinator services as well and she took care of everything. She made the room stunning and we didn’t have to worry about anything. She was extremely professional, she was in constant communication with us and even took our call the night before at 10pm when our officiant quit on us last minute. She helped us through the situation and calmed our nerves. The day of the ceremony it felt like we were working with one of our close friends by our sides. We can’t recommend Megan and the Capitol Room enough!!

GarageTown LLC 

5.0

Waterville, MN
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services

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

We got married at North Star Farm in the spring of 2024. From the moment we toured we knew it was the place for us. Everything we hoped for was all there in one place. Rebecca was a joy to work with. Very organized and thorough, which made everything so easy for us to navigate. Which took so much of the stress away from me in the process. I must say, everything about the day was amazing and it went better then I could have ever imagine.

I have had the pleasure of working with Jackie, Jeff, and Next Chapter Winery both as a wedding professional and as a bride, and I can say without question that I never would've trusted another venue with my big day. The winery is absolutely stunning and provides dozens of backdrops for photos without having to leave the property. Staff is always extremely caring and kind, and the owners go so far above and beyond for their couples. My guests all raved about how great everything was. As a vendor, I know that when I shoot a wedding at NCW I won't have to worry about anything. Jackie is a true wedding professional with so much knowledge of how to make a wedding day run smoothly, and the pricing for everything you get at this venue is an extreme bargain. I highly recommend!

What really made them stand out though was their incredible attention to detail - they helped us decorate the space beautifully, and even gifted us mimosa supplies for the morning of the wedding!
