Northern Lights Ballroom & Banquet Center Reviews

The venue was amazing for us. They suited all our needs and the staff exceeded expectations.

Absolutely amazing venue to work with! Affordable, good food, and day of coordinator was AMAZING.

Located in Milaca, conveniently right off 169. They had great prices and packages. We paid about 4000$ for venue, food n alcohol for all night! We loved our venue from amazing food to great communication. Beef was basically falling apart that you didn't even need a knife and chicken was melting in your mouth. It was also always easy to reach them with any questions, and I know it is not always possible but it was convenient that we could go in and decorate on Friday (save me so much stress!). Not to mention that from the very beginning we knew exactly what our total will be for the night and there was never any hidden fees. We will highly recommend your venue to any of our family and friends and we are so very thankful for our great experience!

Such a great group of people to work with!!! The food was amazing! This venue is such a great find! Highly recommend checking them out!

Bryony and her team made our daughter's wedding run look and run beautifully!!! She is marvelous to work with! At our first meeting/consultation she was able to tell us our options and give us prices and dates! She delivered delicious meals, smooth service and and beautiful event center that both met and exceeded our hopes! Bryony did an excellent job at hosting and serving our event at a cost effective price. We are so blessed and grateful!

We were very please with having our wedding at Northern Lights. They are a little further out from the cities but it was well worth the travel. The staff was very accommodating in working with us to plan our perfect day and very responsive with all our requests. Northern Lights was our venue for our grooms dinner, the actual wedding ceremony and our reception hall and everything went perfectly. If you don't mind a little drive I highly recommend Northern Lights for your wedding as there service was fantastic and their prices were far better than almost everyone else we had checked out.

The food was amazing. I am a bar manager and I tell the service was top notch. Beautiful building to start with really makes a huge difference night of reception. I would recommend to a friend anytime. Also the ladies are amazing help.

Best night of my life!! Such a gorgeous place, with great food, and awesome staff!! Highly recommend!!

Northern Lights is an AMAZING value, especially for an out of season wedding like ours. Every staff member we came in contact with was absolutely wonderful, helpful, and kind. We loved our experience! Our day was absolutely perfect, the food was phenomenal, and the ballroom was just gorgeous! It felt like a fairy tale! Everything about this place is fantastic!!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Northern Lights Ballroom. We worked with both Wendy and Bryony, Bryony was there to help coordinate on the day. The venue was beautiful, not much decorating needed on our part. We went with the all inclusive package with a plated dinner. Bryony made it really easy and actually looked at how many people were having which option for dinner before hand, so that everyone could be served at the same time. We were able to actually drive the limo into the ballroom for our grand entrance which was a suprise to all our guests.

Bryony was really good at getting back to us quickly with questions and very helpful. The only thing we didn't expect was on the day of the wedding, they asked us if we would prefer to not allow any alcoholic shots or to allow guests to purchase them. This was a surprise to us since we had the all inclusive package, and when my husband had previously talked to Wendy about what was included, and we were told shots were included. We ended up choosing not to have shots and it worked out well with plenty of drinks served.

We had wanted to decorate the day before and were able to come in and do that. They were really flexible with our requests and were great to work with.

Overall we had a great time and would definitely recommend using Northern Lights Ballroom to anyone looking for an affordable and beautiful venue just outside the cities.

It really is a beautiful place and the venue rental and food prices are very reasonable! As someone who lives in Minneapolis it's a bit out of the way, but I think it's worth it. Inside everything is incredibly clean, the ballrooms were very well kept, and even the kitchen was spotless - something I really appreciate! The staff was very helpful, especially since I didn't know what I was doing! Oh, and the lighting!!!! I can't tell you how I LOVE the lighting in there!! It makes everything sparkle, very soft and romantic. I really like this place and would go there again.

very helpful nice to not worry about things getting done cuz they did it for me :)

Very happy with all services provided by Northern Lights Ballroom! They go above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of and everyone is happy!

Thank you so much for the beautiful job you did on Kara and Travis' wedding! The food was fabulous, and you were very accommodating to our needs! It was a wonderful event...and we are always happy to refer people to Northern Lights! : )

I was totally happy with Kelsey's wedding at your center! We had a wonderful time! Thank you for taking such great care of us! We would not have changed a thing.

My ceremony and reception was held here. It was everything I dreamt and more! I received a lot of compliments on the food at our reception as well as loving it myself-we had the pasta bar. The alfredo pasta and chicken wild rice were the favorites. I would definitely do it all over again!

Bryony was amazing to work with, helpful with any questions and easy to contact. I never had to wait more than a day to get an answer she was also very understanding when I needed help! The staff on the day of the wedding were not only helpful with their own duties they also helped out with things we needed help with! The food was amazing and the ballroom was set up beautifully and everything went smoothly in large part because of the staffs preparedness. I would suggest them to anyone who needed a venue for a wedding, family get together, graduation part or anything really! I loved them and I hope I get to work with them again in a different capacity (as I don't plan to get married again!).

They were awesome and I would reccommend them to anyone!! :)

Very personal and flexible with meetings! I highly recommend Northern Lights Ballroom & Banquet Center!

Everything was wonderful. There is nothing about it that I would have changed and the staff were more then helpful in any situation. Even when the bustle on my dress broke!

Service was excellent from start to finish. Thank you for the help, it made it less stressful for me.

They were on top of everything, taking care of all the details, making sure that is what we wanted and steering us in the right direction when we weren't sure about something. When we couldn't find an officiant, they gave us some of the people's names that we could call. There was pretty of food and everyone commented on how good it was. Everything was ready to go when we got there to decorate.

We were very happy with the service and the food. They were very professional and did a first class job.

Northern Lights Ballroom was a fantastic place to have our wedding ceremony and reception. Bryony was always willing to answer any questions we had during the wedding planning process. I was impressed with how friendly the staff was and the ballroom was gorgeous! The food was excellent; we have had many relatives compliment the food from our wedding. I would recommend having your ceremony and/or reception at Northern Lights Ballroom. You will not be disappointed.

The venue is beautiful and all of our guests loved it. The staff was amazing and catered to every thing we wanted or needed. We only held our reception at this location but everything was perfect from the second our guests started walking through the door after our ceremony.
