Beautiful, charming, full of options/amenities, and an easy-to-work-with venue owner. Yes, please. I toured a handful of places in MN before I signed up for the Barn at Ballard Creek. Other venues were either too expensive for what you get, the people weren't as approachable or as communicative, or as beautiful location-wise. I love the big red barn, the cottage to get ready in, the cows, the flowers, the big tree where I was married, and more. There's plenty of parking. It's clean. Lindsey helped me figure out how to make the wedding work for my vision and budget. I like that I wasn't forced to pick a specific caterer too. 5 stars all around. Have your event here! It's perfect.

As both a bride who just tied the knot at Next Chapter Winery, and a (very) regular patron, I cannot say enough great things about this place. The staff are some of the most caring, sweet, and down to earth people - they really treat you like family! The space is gorgeous, they are extremely accommodating and helpful, and the wine is fantastic. I'm a wedding photographer, so I am EXTREMELY picky and I wouldn't have dreamed of having my wedding anywhere else - I am so thankful I trusted Jackie and her team with my big day!

GarageTown LLC 

5.0

Waterville, MN
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

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

This place is a showstopper!! There’s a rustic retro charm to the place partnered with a beautiful green yard, plants, and trees. Brady was so professional and prompt with responding to our inquiries and was more than happy to tell us the story of how the place came to be- so cool! He and his wife Jennifer really know how to decorate and bring this venue to life. Your guests will be talking about this wedding venue for years to come. From antique cars, handmade pergola, nature-filled pond, rustic bar, clematis flower arches, to lush trees/grass you’ll have the perfect unique setting with countless photo opportunities for you and your guests. And if you think it looks good in the daylight, you should see it lit up at night - breathtaking. I highly recommend this venue to anybody looking to make lasting memories at a gorgeous location.

Reeds & Rushes is an amazing venue! When we first toured the place, it was still under construction, but we trusted Curtis and Maddy's vision. They truly impressed us with the final result. With the wood details and black and white accents, the venue provides the perfect backdrop for your special day. We were thrilled with the addition of the dock and the pergolas in the back patio. Our outdoor ceremony by the lake was beautiful. The Bridal & Groom suites were terrific, I loved that the Groom suite had a golf simulator – it kept the guys entertained while they waited! The Bridal suite was also gorgeous and spacious enough for 8 girls. Curtis and Maddy were excellent to work with, very responsive, and always helpful whenever we had any questions. I would definitely recommend them!

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!!!
