Organized & Smooth

We got married on Halloween! The Pavilion was very organized, and made everything run smoothly! Lauren was very responsive with all my emails, and kept us updated on COVID guidelines. Some of our guests even commented on how it was one of the few weddings they had been to, that started on time and was organized from start to finish. Due to COVID, we were not able to do a ceremony set-up, but instead had a banquet style set-up with the aisle still going down the middle. I was a little upset at first, but in the end it made the day less stressful, and made the room feel more completed with all our haunted decorations! We had the butternut squash ravioli, which was amazing, and our guests also loved the chicken parmesan! We also had the rehearsal dinner at The Machine Shed, and chose the pot roast and chicken alfredo, which was equally as good! Nick at The Machine Shed was also very responsive to our emails scheduling the rehearsal! I would recommend the Holiday Inn for an all-in-one wedding celebration!

We can't thank Madelon, Lauren and their team for making our day truly amazing. They went far beyond my expectations and provided excellent professionalism. The minor errors that happened throughout the day were smoothed out by the team in a short period of time. The Pavilion at Lake Elmo is so beautiful and we couldn't have asked for a better venue and great people to help make our wedding day perfect. Thank you so much for all your team did! PS. The Lake Elmo Chicken was PHENOMENAL!

Truly made our day the best!

I cannot say enough great things about The Pavilion and staff! We were initially looking at getting married in a barn but in our search we stumbled upon The Pavilion. From our initial tour with Lauren, we knew this was the space we wanted for our day! It has a cozy barn feel with enough decor that not much more is needed to make the space beautiful. Food and beverages were affordable and our guests raved about the food! Bartender was so friendly and fun as well. Communication with Madelon and Lauren was always prompt, kind, and they were so flexible/easy to work with. We had both our ceremony and reception in the space and we were so impressed with how seamless it was to set up everything, move guests for a cocktail hour to flip the room, and come back in to a beautiful space. If you are looking for a "one stop shop" for an easy, stress-free, seamless wedding day that you and your guests will love then The Pavilion is your place!
