    Perfect venue for my wedding

    We got married at Maidenwood and our experience was wonderful. We had to plan everything remotely without having visited the venue before booking and Steve and Jana were great to work with. They guided us in the planning process and asked good questions that helped us make planning decisions. The venue is absolutely beautiful. I recommend to anyone wanting an outdoor/indoor venue.

    Could not recommend more!

    We chose Maidenwood for our wedding back in August and could not have picked a better venue! We and our guests were very impressed with the beauty of the venue and Steve's experience in the wedding industry. Our ceremony was under the pines, our cocktail hour was in the glass pavilion, and our reception was in the white barn. We loved the expansive bridal suite and the fun groom's space, which made our getting ready time very memorable. Steve was also very accommodating for my sister, who has special needs, to ensure she had what she needed to have a positive experience. Highly recommend!

    Jordan and I had the dreamiest fall wedding day, getting married at Maidenwood.

    Working with Steve and Jana was so easy and they made us feel excited for our big day after every meeting. Steve was so accommodating, driving us around to get from places across the property. He even came and found me as we were about to take off on our party bus and thanked us for getting married there and to wish us well! They really make you feel like family. Best day of our lives, all thanks to Maidenwood!!

    Fall Wedding Venue

    We had our wedding at Maidenwood this fall, and the venue is unbelievably gorgeous! Steve, Jana, and the rest of the venue staff were all incredibly kind and awesome to work with. From the planning stages to the end of our wedding night, they made sure that we were taken care of. We are so glad we chose Maidenwood!

    An absolute dream venue!

    Maidenwood was the absolute BEST venue we could have ever dreamed of for our wedding. Where to even begin!? Steve, Jana, and the rest of the crew are just the nicest people you will ever meet, and they made the entire process so easy from the first info call to the last song. We felt assured we were in good hands the entire time, and the confidence continued throughout the day as they seamlessly followed the timeline and made sure everything was exactly what we had planned.

    In addition to the amazing people, the property and buildings are truly breathtaking. It’s the perfect blend of outdoorsy, elegant, adventurous, modern, and cozy. It’s clear how much thought and effort they have put in to already create an amazing backdrop that we didn’t feel stressed with decorating at all. Every space speaks for itself and emphasizes the beautiful nature that is all around.

    With that, we really appreciated the freedom to make the spaces our own and include unique elements that felt true to who we are as a couple. We got to be creative with vendors, photo spots, ceremony locations, getting ready, and other optional amenities that contributed to it feeling like our own property for the day!

    We also highly recommend Steve’s business Trustworthy Music for a DJ. Steve added so much energy and kept our guests on the dance floor the entire time. We also highly recommend Jana for a day of coordinator. She is so knowledgeable, a blast to work with, and went above and beyond checking on us and our guests throughout the wedding.

    We truly could go on and on about how grateful we are to have found Maidenwood for our day (and have been for the past 3 weeks!). Thank you for everything!!
    - Lauren & Kevin

    Forest Fairytale

    From the moment we first inquired about hosting our wedding at Maidenwood, their communication was prompt, open, and incredibly flexible. The venue itself is marvelous - a modern, woodsy space that perfectly captured the vibe for our forest fairytale. Throughout the entire planning process and on the day of, the Maidenwood team went above and beyond to ensure my husband and I felt taken care of. They anticipated our every need and made sure every detail was executed flawlessly. We cannot thank Steve and Jana enough for everything they did both in front of and behind the scenes. The end result was a wedding day that exceeded our wildest dreams. Our guests could not stop raving about how magical the ceremony, reception and general landscaping of it all was. We are so grateful to Maidenwood for making our special day truly unforgettable.

    Beautiful Venue for September Wedding

    The pictures that you see of this venue do not even come close to doing it justice. Maidenwood is gorgeous and was the perfect venue for our magical, wood-sy wedding. Steve Macke was incredibly helpful, communicative and a positive force for us leading up to and on the day of our wedding. If you have any question if this place is worth it, it absolutely is.

    The most beautiful place to get married!!!

    I am so glad that my husband and I chose Maidenwood for our wedding day. Not only is the property absolutely beautiful but Steve and Jana are so great to work with. The getting ready area for the bride is absolutely dreamy as is the three ceremony locations we can chose from. We picked the Pines for our ceremony and many of our guests stated it was one of the most beautiful ceremony locations they had seen.
    Maidenwood is also pretty affordable compared to many of the other venues located in the MN/WI area and they include so much within their packages which helped my husband and I save not only so much money but reduced the amount of vendors that we had to research.
    I would highly recommend Maidenwood for anyone looking for a low stress, quiet wedding, out in the beautiful bluffs of WI. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and we wouldn't have changed a thing.

    1000000/10

    Getting married at Maidenwood was a dream come true. From the beautiful landscape that made us instantly fall in love with the property to Steve and his team helping bring our wedding vision to life, our day could not have been more perfect. We toured this venue in the middle of winter and covered in a blanket of snow we still did not even hesitate in our decision to get married at Maidenwood. As wedding planning can be a stressful time, Steve and his crew helped walk us through every detail of our big day to ensure everything was just as we envisioned and stress free. The venue offers a getting ready area that is a perfect space for a bride and her girls to relax and beautify for the big day, a cozy airbnb to stay after a long day, three different ceremony sites to fit each couples dream, and an amazing team that is so kind and caring and truly dedicated to making a couple’s wedding day perfect.

    A dream come true

    Maidenwood was the absolute dream of a wedding venue. The Venue is so incredibly beautiful and well thought out. We had so many compliments from our guests of how beautiful the scenery was. Absolutely perfect. Steve the owner was so awesome with communicating and so easy to talk to. He really works hard to make your wedding day perfect. Steve also being a DJ worked out so well. Our guests were on the dance floor all night and he knew just how to read the room. The rest of his staff was amazing as well. We had a little issue with impending weather and Steve and his crew and a few guests moved the entire ceremony in a matter of minutes about 20 minutes before the ceremony was supposed to happen. It was incredible. We didn’t even mind the rain because off of the roof of the pavilion it sounded so cool. I would 100% recommend this venue to anyone. If you don’t mind a bit of a drive and love nature and modern but also rustic vibes, this venue is for you. Please come visit this beautiful place because it was the first venue we toured and we knew right away, this was it.

    The Most Perfect Venue

    Working with Steve at Maidenwood was one of the best choices we made. Stunning venue aside, Steve was super communicative, transparent, open minded to all the ideas we wanted to bring into our day, kind, and so helpful. I can not recommend Maidenwood enough. The outdoor ceremony sites are all absolutely stunning and the reception space is so dreamy. If you’re looking for a venue surrounded by nature and that honors the beauty of the world, this is it!

    Intimate and Elegant

    Our experience getting married at Maidenwood could likely not have been replicated anywhere else. Walking around the property is like walking in a thriving nature preserve (part of it literally is) with wildflowers, hydrangeas, and pine trees. The barn is intimate and versatile, with a large covered portico—the perfect place for a cocktail hour. (It can be also used for the ceremony if it rains). Being high on a river bluff with views of Lake Pepin on the Mississippi River means the property receives a healthy breeze, which keeps mosquitos away. Like the rest of the property, the dressing area is picturesque, with plenty of natural light and a great view of the wildflower field. Steve and Kristin, who run the show at Maidenwood, were a complete joy to work with. Kristin even graciously gave a few tours of the property to our guests, who were in awe at its beauty. We are still receiving messages from friends about how much they enjoyed being there. Our entire wedding was magical, and more so because of Maidenwood and its owners.

    Maidenwood Events is the Perfect place to get married!

    Maidenwood is home not only to a beautiful family, but to scenery that made for the most beautiful wedding. When my Fiancé and I were looking for a venue, we never planned to pick the first place we saw, in fact we told each other we wanted to make sure that we didn’t do that. However when we first stepped foot onto Steve and Kristin’s property it became clear that we had found something truly special. From the wild-flowers growing all around, to the rolling hills of The Circle, to the intimate setting in The Pines, we knew without a doubt that this was truly a dream come true. We wanted something that would be outdoors, something that would be private, something that would show a level of sophistication and classiness. Maidenwood has it all. Never have we been so utterly amazed by a property. Steve was the absolute best to work with. He initially walked through the entire property with us pointing out different ideas and areas that would be beautiful to incorporate into our wedding. He was so great in helping us to picture each part of our day. Throughout the entire process he continually made us feel comfortable and confident that he not only understood what we wanted, but that he would also do everything that he could to make it happen, going above and beyond on even the smallest things. We honestly cannot say enough good things about Steve, he and Kristin were awesome through and through, most noteworthy was how flexible they were with our wedding planning. They were always patient and kind when we would change our minds on something or make last minute requests and for that we can’t thank them enough. We had the most wonderful time here and could not be more thankful for the day that we drove up their driveway for a tour. If you are considering Maidenwood then you are considering a venue with breathtaking views, and owners who are willing to work with you to create the most memorable experience.

    Magical, when you think about what you want for your wedding you think magical. That's exactly what we got when we found the little piece of heaven called Maidenwood.

They are a total joy to work with. Choosing Maidenwood to have your wedding at will be the best choice you ever make. You will be promised a beautifully, magical wedding.

    Absolutely gorgeous

    When my husband and I started looking at wedding venues nothing was exactly fitting our vision. That was until we found Maidenwood. This venue is absolutely gorgeous! We got married in the pines and took many photos in the meadow. Absolutely beautiful!

    Working with Steve and Jana was amazing. They always had timely responses and worked with us on bringing our vision to life. They both helped our day run very smoothly with everything behind the scenes. They are strict but fair as far as rules and times. The venue is literally in the middle of nowhere but the beauty of the venue makes the drive so worth it.
