Haue Valley was incredible. They were highly communicative with us during the planning process. We took full advantage of their vendor open houses and decor open houses. Most of our decor came from the decor closet, and we had a beautiful wedding. Going into the wedding day, we were already fully in love with our Haue Valley experience. But then we had an amazing day-of team member, and she made us love Haue Valley even more. She was attentive, on top of things and a highly reassuring presence. We could not give her enough kudos for her performance on our wedding day. We have only RAVE reviews for Haue Valley and everyone we worked with.

We were married at Laumeier Sculpture Park in 1999, so when our 25th Silver Anniversary rolled around this year we decided to do it again!! This park has always been a favorite of ours since high school - so to return to the original spot meant so much to us. The staff at Laumeier are just amazing! They were quick with responses to questions and went above and beyond with the planning. We live out of town and they were gracious enough to meet with me when I came to town a few weeks before to walk through everything ahead of time. The day of, the staff did everything possible to accommodate our wishes and be sure other park goers knew that the space was saved for a wedding. We just cannot say enough about this park and venue for weddings. Beautiful setting, easy to access for all the guests and top notch staff - hopefully we will do it again when the Golden Anniversary comes around!! If you’re thinking of holding a wedding here, please do!! It is a magical place and photos after are so much fun!
