Earle Brown Heritage Center

The Earle Brown Heritage Center is a historic barn for couples choosing to have their wedding in the greater Minneapolis, Minnesota region. At this vintage country venue, couples will find outdoor spaces with pristine landscaping and a traditional red event barn for their wedding. This venue is located 20 minutes from the Stone Arch Bridge in downtown Minneapolis.

Facilities and Capacity
Couples can invite up to 800 guests to their wedding at the Earle Brown Heritage Center. The crown jewel of this venue is the red event barn on this property. Couples can have their ceremony with its country structure in the background. The inside of the barn is contemporary, with carpeted flooring and LED halos of light hanging from the gently arched ceiling. The ceiling is crafted of exposed wood, ductwork and metal beams. The barn consists of one main room and, to one side, a pre-function area perfect for a cocktail reception. Couples can welcome their guests through the circular room just off the main banquet hall of the barn. This circular room features floor-to-ceiling windows all the way around for 360-degree views. Though the interior of the barn is relatively modern, there are still large sliding barn doors at one end of the event hall for that authentic country feeling. Outside, couples will find a majestic fountain and plenty of natural landscaping for optional ceremony locations or for photographs.
