Gorgeous venue

My husband and I got married at Almquist last month, and I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect place! Their outdoor reception site is absolutely ~dreamy~, and the reception barn is beautiful too! Everything about Almquist is classy, clean, and updated. We had almost 250 guests, and the space fit everyone without feeling tight. Paul and Kari were so easy to work with, and every single vendor that we hired spoke really highly about working with Paul and Kari. If you can book Almquist, DO IT!!!
