About

Surrounded by fields and forests, the Braham Event Center is a modern banquet hall with rustic decor on the outside and a modern, open floor plan on the inside. Our main feature is our large window with a view to beautiful birch trees, perfect for ceremonies in addition to receptions. The center can host parties of up to 400 people, with a large lobby and a library which serves as the bridal suite. Our on-site caterer, Kathy’s Kitchen, provides delicious and affordable meals. Kathy's Kitchen specializes in cooking from scratch and we enjoy the chance to customize to fit a price point or a favorite meal or side dish.

The Braham Event Center is located one hour north of Minneapolis and St. Paul, just off Highway 65 on the outskirts of Braham, Minnesota, minutes away from Pine City, Rush City, Mora, and Cambridge, and is conveniently located between Duluth and the Twin Cities.

Amazing Wedding at Braham

My wife and I got married at the Braham event center. The event center coordinators were very helpful on making sure our day went amazing! The venue is also very spacious with a spot for the groom and grooms men and bride and bridesmaids to get ready for the wedding. They were also very accommodating on allowing us to set up our decorations a day early. The food was also very delicious and so was the coffee and lemonade! We went with the Chicken and lemon sauce. If you have ant dietary restrictions to account for, they also will work with you to ensure you can meet those! And to top it off, Braham was so much cheaper than any other venue we looked at! Highly Highly Highly recommend Braham for your wedding!

Amazing venue!

We had an incredible experience for our daughters wedding! Robin went above and beyond all throughout the day. She was friendly, attentive and so helpful. Totally on top of her game and was a day saver in many aspects!! I cannot say enough about how wonderful her and all the other staff people were. The meal was amazing also, as were the volunteers who served it. My husband enjoyed a lengthy visit with the servers post meal. He said they were so kind and told him they were so happy to volunteer as they enjoyed being at weddings and visiting with people. Such a great staff all the way around. Thank you all so much for everything!!

Everyone at the Braham Event Center was so welcoming and helpful to us, our families and guests throughout planning and on our special day! We used Kathy's Kitchen for catering and were very pleased with their professionalism as well as their willingness to customize a menu for us! We received so many positive comments on their food, volunteers, and on the venue itself. Kelly was wonderful to work with and was willing to answer any questions and let us come to the venue several times for planning! Overall our experience with the Braham Event Center was excellent and highly recommended!

Absolutely lovely.

Braham Event Center is a hidden treasure nestled deep in a pine forest.

After my elopement, I was searching for a reception venue that wouldn't break the budget, but also was more elegant than a gym or fellowship hall. I tried a few other places, went to BEC's bridal expo and was hooked immediately. They have the ability to be a "one stop shop" or allow you to pick and choose your own vendors. As I was planning this event solo, the one stop shop feature was very appealing.

Kelly and the team of volunteers made my evening go smoothly. The on-site staff checked in on my bridal party and I as we were getting ready and did their best to meet any needs we had. Their on-site caterer, Kathy's Kitchen, provided delicious, allergy safe food.

If you are looking for friendly people, a venue basked in rural serenity with city convenience, Braham Event Center will be a perfect fit for you and yours. My experience was lovely!

Absolutely STUNNING PERFECT wedding day ❤️

Kelly and all the volunteers at the Braham Event Center played an amazing part in making our special day absolutely perfect. These people are absolutely AMAZING!

We looked at multiple venues before finally settling on the Braham Event Center and it was absolutely beautiful, clean and wonderful all for a very reasonable price. I thank Kelly and all the volunteers so much for making our special day absolutely perfect. The bridal suite was wonderful for getting ready with my sisters, mother and mother in law. They even equipped it with plenty of tables and a mirror (which I did not think of til I arrived on my wedding day!) The grooms room was perfect for my husband and his brother in laws to get ready in.

When I first arrived in the morning, that’s when I met Butch, one of the amazing volunteers. He was even so kind to help me carry in all the boxes I had for decorations. He also provided me with all the materials I would have needed to get everything ready in the reception area.

This venue is so beautiful. The outside is the perfect mix of modern yet has a rustic barn feel to it. Everything inside is new, nice, and clean. I absolutely loved the big giant window that we had our ceremony in front of. The views out the window were beautiful and looked out to wonderful birch trees that were just changing colors for our beautiful fall wedding day.

The volunteers made sure that the table switch from the ceremony to the reception was quick, easy and simple. The volunteers did a wonderful job cooking the pasta dinner for our first meal. The food was amazing and the volunteers were so kind to serve everyone, even though it was a buffet style dinner.

Sam from the pizza pub was very easy to chat with about how we wanted the bar for our wedding. He brought our kegs right away in the morning and set up the bar for us. He also sent out two amazing bartenders, Becky and Brian, that treated our guests amazing and got them everything they could.

Yvonne from encore events did an AMAZING job having the drapery in the event hall. She left and provided us with table cloths and napkins for all our guests. She made sure I knew what to do with them at the end of the night. Her set ups are so beautiful and I would highly recommend saying yes to the drapery!

Our wedding day went so smooth, and we didn’t have any hiccups and I know this was partially due to the amazing work that the Braham Event Center does. We are so thankful that we chose them for our special day. We couldn’t have asked for a better day! GO CHECK THEM OUT ❤️
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
