  • A Venue with Country Glam

    The team at Green Acres Event Center was quickly reachable and incredibly helpful from the moment we booked our wedding with them. Their elegant country western glam style created the perfect atmosphere for our special day. We had plenty of space for our guests to gravitate to many different areas, and the staff was there to help prepare things throughout the day to ensure everything went smoothly. We are so grateful to the Green Acres team for making our wedding day truly unforgettable.

  • Thank You Green Acres!

    Green Acres and the venue sales manager, Brooke were such a delight to work with for our wedding! The venue is absolutely stunning and we are so happy we decided to have our wedding there. The staff helped ensure our day went smoothly and were so kind and helpful throughout. Our suggestion would be to confirm that the preferred catering fits in your budget, but if it does, the food came out absolutely incredible. Thanks again to Green Acres and staff for such a beautiful experience on our wedding day!

  • Love this place!!!!

    I just had to share this! Green Acres is such an incredible venue nestled in beautiful Eden Prairie. It has everything we could have possibly wanted for our wedding. And let me tell you about Brooke - she was absolutely amazing! Not only was she incredibly responsive and accommodating, but she also made our interactions so warm and enjoyable.

  • Beautiful venue!

    I'm a wedding planner who worked at Green Acres Event Center a few weeks ago for a wedding and I absolutely loved my experience!! They were so responsive leading up to the wedding day and the day of the staff was great as well. Love all the places for photo opportunities on site! Highly recommend if you're looking for a wedding venue! -Hanna, Hanna Marie Events
