Wedding Venues in Minnesota

Very helpful at a great price! Everyone was on top of what was going on even when there was another reception in the hall next to ours! Food was awesome, and manager checked up often to make sure everything was going well!

We originally began working with the Holiday Inn Lakeville with their venue coordinator Heidi K., but sadly, she moved onto another venue a few months before the wedding. The transition to Jamie was seamless, and they made sure all of our notes/discussions were passed along so we did not lose any groundwork laid out earlier in the planning process. They catered to our every request and even provided some great insight and recommendations regarding timing and nuances of the venue (i.e. whether to have brunch in the ballroom or conference room). In regards to booking rooms and checking the room block, our hats go off to Mitch and Amanda. Mitch took care of everything for us from showing us what the rooms looked like in our early visits, to asking if we needed anything every time he passed us in the hallways that weekend. Amanda updated us regularly on how the room block was doing and if we needed to add any additional accommodations, which was extremely helpful in keeping us aware of who booked a room and making sure we had the right number of guests who RSVP’d. The catering from Rudy’s truly does not need any description besides all of guests complimented their meals saying all of the food was delicious. If anyone wants to try their food before thinking of having a wedding there, make Rudy’s a date night and try some of their different food – you will not be disappointed! We opted for chicken breasts in a campaign sauce, pork with a cranberry sauce, pasta for a vegetarian option, and chicken fingers as a kids option. Our sides were mashed potatoes and Asian-style green beans. All of the staff at the Holiday Inn Lakeville genuinely seemed excited for our special day, which made our day even more perfect knowing they were as happy for us as our friends and family.

We had our wedding at The Aisling, and I can’t say enough about how wonderful the entire experience was. From start to finish, their communication was outstanding—every question we had was answered quickly and clearly, which made the planning process so much smoother. On our wedding day, the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran seamlessly. They were attentive, kind, and always one step ahead, which allowed us to truly enjoy the day without stress. The food was absolutely incredible and has been one of the biggest compliments from our guests! I highly recommend the salmon and the butternut squash ravioli—both were perfectly prepared and so flavorful.

Joy Ridge is an amazing venue! Not only do they have the most gorgeous chandeliers and bar area, the venue is nestled in the bluffs and makes for beautiful scenery! They have a gorgeous outdoor ceremony space and they decorated it to perfection! We hired the Joy Ridge team to decorate and they took all my ideas and made them a reality! Kirsten and her mother in law have amazing design ideas and they did not disappoint! It was so nice not to have to stress about decor and they cleaned it all up afterwards too! They took my Fall theme and made all my dreams come true! Kirsten is a wonderful communicator and works so well with you to organize everything. They also have an awesome getting ready space that my bridal party and I used and they even have us a bottle of champagne’ I would recommend Joy Ridge to anyone getting married! They do it all! Also, the venue is very reasonably priced as well as their bar prices compared to other venues in the area!

Our family had the privilege of hosting our celebration at Archive 101, and the entire experience was exceptional from start to finish. The booking process, tour, setup, and cleanup were all seamless—thanks to the owners, who clearly take great pride in their beautiful venue. What truly stood out were the thoughtful, extra touches that made our event feel so special and memorable. Their attention to detail did not go unnoticed. I would highly recommend Archive 101 for any special occasion—whether it’s a birthday, wedding, business event, or family gathering. The possibilities are endless, and we will absolutely be back again. Thank you, Archive 101!

Tania is a wonderful woman to work with and Larry her second is comand is just as wonderful!!! My day was so wonderful and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I knew Saturday morning that Tania was not going to be on premises for the reception that evening and I was fine because we had discussed all details and I knew Larry would be there to make sure every thing was perfect! It was and Brandon and I were extremely pleased with everything they did!

If you want to blow your guests away and have the night of your life, this is the place to do it. My husband and I wanted to make sure that our wedding felt like a big party, and this venue was definitely the right choice for that. The food was amazing, the drinks were good, and the setup allowed us to easily have a live band which put everything over the top in the best way. Lori and Elise were great to work with, and helped make our night perfect. We have had so many guests contact us in the 3 weeks since our big day saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to! It was incredible, I cannot say enough good things about this venue!

I would highly recommend The Lotus Ranch if you're looking for a wedding venue. Teresa was so helpful throughout the whole process. She helped me figure out my budget, she let me use her table decorations for FREE, and she contacted each of my vendors prior to my wedding to see if they had any questions. My wedding went so smooth because of her! E. Steele

Held our welcome event/rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception here. About 60% of guests stayed here as well. All pics taken on site. All in all a great value for our money. Beautiful outdoor ceremony area. Staff extremely helpful and friendly. Able to get in early to decorate and clean up morning after wedding rather than that night. Nice storage and they have a presidential suite that we rented to use for bridal ready room and wedding suite. (Other rooms available as well for ready room included). Great location. One complaint was there were many events happening simultaneously that weekend and I feel we didn’t get the attention we should have and a few mistakes were made. Hopefully just growing pains. Definitely have a wedding coordinator and review bar and reception plan day of with staff.
