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.

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!!

As a father of a bride, I could not have been more happy about the choice my daughter and her now husband made in choosing North Star Farm Event Center for their wedding. It was amazing! Everything went so smoothly the entire day. Rebecca and Scott along with their staff have this down. Rebecca was their to answer any questions, she helped with vendor suggestions from catering, photographers to the DJ. They had a lot of decor for my daughter to choose from and use. The setup there is perfect. Everything about that day just flowed, including the property itself and in the blink of an eye it was over. They helped pack our things up at the end of the night, they took care of cleaning up, I was back in my hotel before I knew it. I highly recommend North Star Farm to any parent whose child is looking for a venue. They made my life so much easier and really stress free that whole day.

GarageTown LLC

Waterville, MN
  • Up to 200 guests

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

The 3Ten was the perfect place for our wedding. First of all, the industrial vintage vibe with the exposed brick was phenomenal and didn’t require a lot of additional decorating on our end. Secondly, they held a large guest count which we needed with a guest list of 350. It fit our entire guest list without issue. Additionally, we reserved both the Ballroom and the Loft (3Ten venues next door to each other), so it was easy to do ceremony at one, send people to the other for cocktail hour and then come back to the first for dinner and dancing. Tina, our DoC was INCREDIBLE! Get that woman a raise bc is so kind, organized, professional and extremely helpful. She answered every question, made helpful suggestions and made us feel right at home the entire process. There was no particular reason for us to go to Faribault for our wedding, but once we found 3Ten, we knew we wouldn’t want it anywhere else. Thank you 3Ten team for all your help in making our day absolutely perfect —we’re so grateful to have found your incredible venue!

The Monterey Ballroom was an absolute dream for our wedding! From the moment we first inquired, their communication was fast, open, and incredibly helpful. The venue itself is gorgeous, with both indoor and outdoor spaces that provided the perfect setting for our special day. 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! The owner, Mike, was amazing and made sure everything went so smoothly. We also loved that they had outdoor games for our guests to enjoy.
