Edward Anne Estate at Bavaria Downs
About
Bavaria Downs, established in 2018, is 240 acres of beautiful lush grounds that is home to the Edward Anne Estate, one of the most sought-after venues in the Twin Cities. Opening in 2023 and located in Chaska, Minnesota, Bavaria Downs will also be home to Equestria West. Another luxury venue inspired by the natural beauty of the outdoors.
Both venues provide a once-in-a-life time experience for you and your guests. Bavaria Downs is just miles from Minneapolis and exudes luxury from the moment you pass through the palatial gated entrance onto the private drive. You’ll feel as if you’ve stepped into a European estate and are no longer minutes from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The Edward Anne Estate wows couples and guests with its European charm. Situated on lush, rolling hills, lies this one-of-a-kind estate. Enjoy a peaceful morning of wedding day preparation in our spacious suites. Then, host your ceremony lakeside at our designated outdoor space, or within the residence. Finally, raise a toast and dance the night away in our timeless, expansive ballroom area.
We're excited to announce the newest addition to the property opening in 2023: Equestria West! This equestrian-inspired venue is the first of its kind in Minnesota and will leave you in awe. The moment you step inside, you are welcomed to a warm atmosphere of rich wood finishes, soft leather and antique copper. Rounded chandeliers, a split-level bar and high back chairs immediately invite guests in for an unforgettable experience. Once inside, several glass doors open to present an expansive courtyard, equipped with lush gardens, a beautiful fountain and ample seating. This is not a barn, but a celebration of classic luxury with a modern twist!
We offer all-inclusive event packages for both venues to create a stress-free planning experience. A dedicated team will work hard to create a memorable wedding day for you and your guests.
For a limited time only, we’re offering 10% off our all-inclusive rental packages at Equestria West only. For more information, visit our website or schedule a call with us. We can’t wait to start planning your dream wedding with you!

Hi! I’m Hannah Quiggle.
I have worked for our venues (A’BULAE, The Van Dusen Mansion, & Bavaria Downs) for about four years now and I wouldn’t trade a second of it!
Creating the perfect wedding day is what drives me. At an event, there’s a delicate balance between detail and design that can’t be found very many other places. That balance is what excites me to get up each day and love what I do. From the moment a couple walks in the door of our venue, my goal is to create a calm (but super fun) environment for them. Throughout planning, I take to heart your dreams & vision and help you feel prepared and ready to relax and enjoy your special day. I’d love to help you plan and learn about what makes you two YOU.
In just a few short weeks, I plan to marry Josh (AKA the man of my dreams). After that, you can plan to call me Mrs. Hannah Alme. We are BEYOND excited for our crisp October wedding day (filled with apple cider, crunchy leaves, and bowling) with our closest by our sides. We love to travel and plan to see the world together (all the while, of course, taking cute Instagrams of our adventures!) When we aren’t planning a trip, we hang out at our apartment in Edina, MN and eat way too much take-out. (It’s a problem, for real) Mostly though, my friends and family simply know that if I’m not around, I’m probably somewhere making wedding dreams come true.
I can’t wait to meet you and hear about your love story too! <3

I cannot wait to share in this process as you are considering one of the most premier venues in the Twin Cities! After helping thousands of couples achieve their dream wedding, I can't wait to build that relationship with you helping every step of the process as you “Say YES!” to one of our spaces!
I’m sure what attracted you to our venues was the aesthetic and design our property uniquely offers… but as we chat, I know you will also love the all-inclusive nature of our venue packages. We offer the simplest planning experience, with the best team!
A look into who I am as a person - I’m very big into the dance community. Growing up in Minnetonka, and graduating from the University of St. Thomas, I worked hard to lead my teams as captain and achieved the first four consecutive national titles with St. Thomas Dance Team along my college journey. I knew the moment I graduated, I would go after my dreams of becoming a wedding planner and coaching my Alma Mater team, Minnetonka. When I am not attached at the hip with my work laptop… I love spending time on my paddle board, supporting my boyfriend, Tyson, while he coaches hockey from the stands with a coffee, spending time with family on the lake, and giving a warm hello to every dog in sight -- (your dog is very much welcomed in our virtual tour session!)
A small glimpse into how my couples perceive their planning experience: "Samantha you were an absolute delight to talk to! Thank you so much for all the love and for bearing with my anxiety over dates! You were flexible and deeply understanding and that was very much appreciated!"

She loves spending time with family, interior design, hosting holidays/parties/events at their home, trying new restaurants, ample amounts of coffee, vacations to Mexico, the Real Housewives (guess which cast members she’s met while working a wedding?) and has recently traded her favorite Zumba classes for a Peloton - send any ride recommendations her way! Working with Jenna will guarantee a seamless planning experience. She can’t wait to meet you! Jenna’s Top 5 Strengths: Achiever - Maximizer - Positivity - Empathy - Developer
