I cannot recommend Pinewood enough. The staff are absolutely amazing and great at communicating. They were so flexible given the constant changes with COVID-19. The venue itself is gorgeous. They thought of everything when building pinewood. Future couples, you will not regret booking Pinewood

Pinewood was completely outstanding. From the amazing architecture to the lovely owners and managers, this venue was an absolute dream. They had very prompt with communication and extremely accommodating with covid. They helped me through every step of the planning process and helped me set up the day of. I cannot say enough good things about this beautiful place. I will never forget our day here, it was simply magical!

Pinewood was amazing to work with and the property is BEAUTIFUL. They communicated well throughout the whole process, truly had no hidden fees, cared about our preferences and cared about us as a couple. Our guests had a great time and loved the venue. We would recommend Pinewood to anyone!

We had the most magical, flawlessly executed, relaxing and happy wedding day. This is in huge part thanks to Kate, Tony, and the rest of the Pinewood team. Throughout the entire booking process, the Pinewood team was quick and clear in their responses even with multiple folks on my end asking the same questions multiple times. They were very patient and flexible and made the entire process a breeze.

I think one of the biggest things I appreciated was the time they allowed us to use the space after the rehearsal dinner. We had a big group who set up 100% of the decor the night before, which made the next day so easy. I really appreciate Kate and Tony's grace in handling such a large group and allowing us to run around despite the rehearsal being over. It gave me such a great peace of mind knowing that everything was prepared for the next day and that myself and my family/friends had minimal setting up the next day.

The wedding day itself was truly a dream. Kate and Tony again were gracious and welcoming and offered help with anything we needed. Vendors were able to easily get everything set up and coordinated thanks to the Pinewood team. The bridal suite was such a great perk since I had a very large group getting ready that morning. There was more than enough room and mirror space and it meant so much to me that I could get ready with my loved ones without having to rush to a different venue for ceremony or rehearsal.

The venue itself and the surrounding woods are just incredible. We received so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful and unique the venue is, and even comments on how sweet Tony and Kate are. They have thought of every little detail, from the mini fridges in the suites to the coat closet, to the open lobby and separate ceremony and reception space. Even though it was December, a lot of guests wandered outside to the patio since Pinewood had a fire going as well as heaters. This was the perfect place for our cozy winter wedding. It's incredible how at home everyone felt here, and I wanted to thank Kate and Tony for that. Thank you for making our day so special!

Can't recommend Pinewood enough.

I was matron of honor for a winter wedding here and it was fantastic. The ceremony space (whether you do indoor or outdoor) is separate from the reception space, so there's no awkward room shuffle like at a lot of weddings I've been in.

There is also a mini fridge you can use in the bride's room and grooms room, which is great to keep snacks cold for the wedding party. And a sink, and both rooms are stunning.

The building itself is GORGEOUS and located in the woods, only 5 mins from the hotel & groom's dinner. It was really nice to not have to drive far.

I worked with the Beckers on 3 family weddings now - what sets them apart from many others in the industry is that they're truly wedding experts that love their work and are consistent with their brand, not just event space owners. They help keep wedding stress low, which after 5 family weddings in 5 years, I have noticed is easier said than done. 😂

Pinewood. Is. Perfect. I knew I wanted our wedding there before we even got engaged. It was the biggest no brainer!!! Krysta was absolutely amazing. We came out to the venue as many times as we needed and she was very flexible with time. She is just the sweetest soul and reassured me about any little concern that I had. The venue itself is just so complete that we had to do the least with decorating, which was perfect because I always dreamed of a minimalistic wedding and always worried about finding a venue in MN that would be gorgeous enough for me not to have to do extra decorating to make it looks just how I want it. Well. Now it exists and I’m SO happy it was built just in time for our wedding. I feel so incredibly blessed with this venue and it’s staff. They did an amazing job and were there the whole day of the wedding asking us if there’s anything we need help with/cleanup. Our day was more than perfect. I wouldn’t change a single thing. Thank you Kate and Tony for creating the MOST beautiful venue in Minnesota, and Krysta for managing better than anyone else could. You guys are awesome!!!! - Kris Grigoriev

I am the mother of the bride and wanted to let couples know that although this venue is new, the owners are experienced with years of wedding and event experience and it shows. When my daughter wanted to reserve the space when it hadn't even been built, I understandably had some reservations. I have had 3 of my other children get married in the past 4 years and I know how pricey and unpredictable weddings can be. However after seeing the plans and meeting the team, I knew we could rest assured and immediately reserved the space. I'm so glad I did as this incredible venue will book quickly.

When I recently toured the facility I actually got teary and experienced a strong feeling of peace and gratitude. The setting is like no other with the tall pines and greenery all around. The windows let in light and make the outdoors part of the entire experience even if you choose not to use the outdoor chapel or have a winter wedding a my daughter chose to do.

Kate and Tony mentioned that they wanted to make sure that the many small things that made renting a venue frustrating were not an issue with Pinewood Wedding and Events. Their expertise shows as all the little details ensure you need not worry about every little thing because they have already anticipated them! For instance, there are no hidden fees which I, as MOB, appreciated. Everything is transparent and they answer any questions immediately. Also, they provide a list of wonderful recommended vendors but can use your own choice if desired. (You do have to use their bartender if you wish to have alcohol, but they have been great.) We also love the Bridal Suite and Groom's Room which are beautifully appointed with everything you need to get ready right on site!

The chapel upstairs sealed the deal as it was so easy to do everything in one place. This is a venue a short distance from the Twin Cities and the airport, while also being away from the hustle and bustle. Our guests will love the convenience and beauty of this sweet town.

In short, if you are hesitating on reserving the space for your wedding, take it from me! This is my fourth wedding in five years (a son and three daughters) and I'm so glad to be celebrating at this beautiful venue. Go see it! Words and pictures aren't enough.

Pinewood was an absolute dream! My husband and I booked Pinewood back in February for a September wedding, and it was done with quite a bit of faith as the venue had not been built yet. Because the venue had not been built, there was still several questions we had as the unknown made it a bit more challenging to plan, but goodness, it was worth it! We worked very closely with their venue manager, Krysta, who is an absolute gem and answered all of our questions as they arose. They finished the venue just on time and it blew us out of the water with how beautiful and serene it is. There's no question as to why this venue is quickly becoming the most popular and beautiful place for a Minnesota wedding.

Truly, I can't rave enough about Pinewood. I loved working with the team, and was so encouraged by their concern for making our big day absolutely perfect!

A venue can be everything you make it to be - so while there are some negative reviews, I would encourage anyone reading these to not to let it deter you from Pinewood. There are often two sides to every story, and as the bride of a wedding at Pinewood, I can assure you - our day was perfect, and the planning process with Pinewood was seamless (although, I truly encourage you to book a wedding planner - I could not have done it without mine).

I found Pinewood through its promo video before it was completely built and, technically, since before I was even engaged! They have a gorgeous indoor, as well as outdoor, ceremony space, and the ceremony and reception areas are separate but flow together easily, which is why I chose this venue. It's a perfect option when if you want to be out side the city but not TOO far outside. Also, the bridal/grooms suites are PERFECT! Even though the building is a bit modern for my usual taste, something about it captured by attention the moment I discovered it. Every corner both indoors and outdoors makes a perfect backdrop for an event to unfold and be captured in stunning photos. Not much decor is needed because the natural setting is so beautiful, although I did include a variety of antiques in my tablescapes to help warm and soften the clean modern lines and general black-and-white palette of the place. For me, the highlight of Pinewood was turning the corner around the front of the building and being awed by the immensely tall trees rising above the ceremony space. The Pinewood team is also lovely to work with and were kind and understanding through all the difficulties of wedding planning last year. Though I was frustrated that this venue limited me to a small selection of catering and bar options (making even the lowest-priced vendors fairly high), the choices they offer are top-notch and we couldn't be happier with how everything came together. I wanted my wedding atmosphere to be moody and magical, elegant yet relaxed, and Pinewood was the perfect setting!

It’s as pretty as it looks but we had a really disappointing experience when first attempting to book our date. After several emails and miscommunication, the owners reached out to us to get our feedback and apologize for what had happened. We were so impressed with the humility and desire Tony and Kate had to make things right that we decided to move forward in having our wedding at Pinewood. Looking forward to having our wedding on this beautiful property!
