The Jewel on the Prairie

While my husband and I were just talking about getting married, we decided to take a side trip to Naastad Acres to check it out. As soon as we walked onto the property, we knew. This was going to be the place we would say "I do." From the initial visit through the morning after our wedding, everyone at Naastad was an absolute joy to work with. Jo, John, Jodi, Kathy, Braydon, and everyone else who helped make our wedding weekend special were simply amazing. You have the venue for the whole weekend, including additional lodging onsite if you choose. This makes it so much less stressful and you can actually enjoy the process and spending time with your loved ones. I can't recommend Naastad enough!

Ideal wedding venue

The Naastads are both highly professional and personable, bringing a warm family atmosphere to our special day. Everything went off without a hitch due in part to their flexibility and support. I as the bride could not have imagined a better venue at which to get married! They truly made us feel at home.

Best Venue

This venue was AMAZING! The owner was incredibly nice and staff was helpful. Every detail was thought of so that you have an amazing weekend. We got SOOOO many compliments on the location and everybody had a great time. My only caveat is that you cannot have your own water pitchers and glasses on the tables. Water is not free.

Thank you thank you thank you!!

When we were looking for venues, when we found Naastad Acres there was no other that compared! The staff is beyond amazing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better, stress free weekend! From getting there Friday to set up, the ease of being able to stay on sight for the weekend, the absolute gorgeous space, to the pure love and joy that Jo and her crew have and definitely show for being in this business made the weekend everything we dreamed of and more!

Best of the Best

Our daughter was married there in June of 2019 and it was the most magical day for her and her new husband as well as our families.

Jo and John make you feel like family the moment you step on their property. Jo was helpful and answered all our questions promptly. Her husband John is the kindest man and their partnership in running Naastad is top notch. They work so well together and then as families the just made a breeze. From set up to take down the whole experience is wonderful. And it doesn’t stop there! Our daughter even went back one weekend and helped Jo as a bartender! Jo was one of the first people they chose to tell when they were expecting and talk about excited for the kids.

With Jo and John at Naastad Acres you just aren’t another wedding. You are part of their family and they celebrate each milestone.
We would highly recommend Naastad Acres! In fact, we have and know several brides you have taken our advice and gone Naastad Acres
