Wedding Experience!
We set up a weekend to tour a handful of venues in the Walker, MN area. When we drove into the entrance at Pine Peaks, we knew this was our place. We got married in July of 2024 and booked the reception hall and retreat house Thursday-Sunday. We had immediate family and our small wedding parties stay with us in the retreat house and invited extended family out to see the venue on Friday evening after our rehearsal. Everyone loved everything the venue had to offer. We heard many times that it was an "experience" not just a wedding weekend. The retreat house and extended rental helps you really enjoy the weekend and those surrounding you on your special day. Priscilla officiated our wedding, and she is made for this job in every way. She has such a calm but organized and structured way about her. We never worried that things were going to go off without a hitch. We loved that we got to go visit the venue for a catering menu tasting, and we were treated like royalty when we were there! We settled on the BBQ meal, and the guests RAVED about the food for weeks to come. David really knocked it out of the park with that one. You won't be disappointed if you make a visit to Pine Peaks, and I highly suggest booking this venue if you're looking for a beautiful venue and amazing hosts!-

Pine Peaks Wedding & Event C- Downs Wedding
Pine Peaks was everything and more I could have dreamed off! Priscilla was very helpful, thoughtful and made sure we knew she was game to help us at all times. The food was hands down incredible. The retreat house is gorgeous and a must! Everything was perfect and we wouldn't change a thing! -

Absolutely Amazing
Priscilla was so helpful and easy to work with. Our long weekend at this venue was incredible. I would recommend Pine Peaks Wedding Center to all of my friends. Randy the bartender was very friendly and accommodating to our needs. We slept in on Sunday and checked out after the football game. Thank you Pine Peaks -

I was a wedding guest
My husband and I attended a wedding at Pine Peaks Event Center this past fall and I was very impressed with this venue. The grounds were serene with beautiful views of the country side- in a very private setting. The grounds and buildings are well maintained with ample lighting. The guest house had plenty of room for a large wedding party.
Luckily the weather on this fall day was perfect for an outdoor wedding. The seating was arranged nicely and there was good flow throughout. The meal catered at the event was outstanding and the dance floor was hopping! We enjoyed the evening and I will certainly recommend Pine Peaks Event Center to anyone wanting to host a wedding at a very cool destination in north central Minnesota. -

The perfect venue!
Pine Peaks was the perfect venue for our 10/1/22 wedding! Everything from communication from the day we booked in 2020 to our wedding day was seamless! Priscilla, the owner, is very responsive, organized and accommodating. She was always available via email or phone and promptly answered any questions. We stayed in the Retreat House from Thursday to Sunday which was such a bonus! Our wedding party stayed with us in the house and we were able to have the Rehearsal Dinner right on-site. We used decorations available from the venue to decorate nearly everything which also saved a lot of money (and hauling)! I appreciated being able to set everything up Thursday and Friday so that we didn't have to worry about any of that on Saturday. Priscilla and her team handle all of the clean up and tear down on Saturday night so we didn't have to worry about any of that either! The food and desserts were amazing! We got so many compliments on the food, and the woodfire late night pizza they serve is to die for! The venue , retreat house and the property are flawlessly maintained. We received so many compliments on the venue, the staff, and the event itself from our guests. The weather for our wedding day was 70 degrees and GORGEOUS. If the weather had not cooperated, there are options for indoor ceremonies, which was nice to have a back up plan if needed. Priscilla truly made things less stressful and was always available for questions or anything needed! Overall, I can't recommend Pine Peaks enough for your wedding! -

An Excellent Wedding Venue
Pine Peaks Wedding and Event Center is a magical wedding venue. The weather was as beautiful as the Bride and Groom. The grounds and outside Ceremony area were perfect and Megan and Brody’s Wedding went off without a hitch. Thank you Pine Peaks.

Worth every penny
We are so happy that we decided to have our wedding at Pine Peaks! Having the retreat house for us and our immediate families was amazing. Getting the entire place Thursday-Sunday is what sold us! We were able to take our time decorating, and had plenty of time to relax and enjoy too. Corey is a great guy, always friendly and willing to help with anything! We really enjoyed him. He is a big reason as to what makes this place great! We didn’t see Priscilla quite as much, but each interaction with her was great and it was nice to see her working as part of the serving/kitchen staff! We continue to get several compliments on how beautiful our wedding was, and how great the food was. We for sure recommend Pine Peaks!-

Wouldn't have been married anywhere else...
I cannot begin to express how amazing our wedding day was. Priscilla is kind, caring, and such a fun person to work with! She was able to be accommodating with COVID and push our wedding date back a whole year! The retreat house is an excellent way to have close family and the bridal party stay at because it is just a few feet away from the event center and its amazing!! All our guests that stayed there had nothing but good things to say. Also, lets not forget to mention Corey and the bartender Ryan. The only way to describe Corey is incredible! He stepped in last minute to run our ceremony music, helped set things up that I didn't even know would be possible but was what my dream was, and was always around to answer questions or have a good laugh! And Ryan, he was so nice and sweet to all of our guests! Very accommodating by making our "special cocktail" and was always there when we needed to take a breather from the dance floor and have a chat! I cannot say enough good things about Pine Peaks and I am so glad we chose them for our wedding venue. It was magical and everything we could of dreamed of. THANK YOU so much to everyone who helped. We could not of done it without all of you!! -

The BEST Venue!
I don't have enough words to say how wonderful Pine Peaks is! Priscilla, the owner, is fantastic and will go above and beyond to make your day special. She is responsive, pays great attention to detail, and provides excellent customer service. We can't thank her enough for how wonderful she was throughout our entire wedding planning process, especially in the midst of COVID. The venue itself is also incredible. One of the main reasons we chose it is because they have all the decorations you could ever want which you are free to use, which saves so much money! Everything from candles to vases to signs to wraps to centerpieces... you name it, they've got it. The other thing that we absolutely loved was the retreat house which is just a few steps away from the venue. Our family had the BEST time staying there all together. We made very good use of the pool table, bar, and gym in the basement, and the large kitchen was perfect for preparing big meals together. The master suite is amazing as well -- it has the world's best bathtub and shower, we loved watching tv in bed with the fireplace on, and it was SO nice to have my own hair and makeup suite attached to the master! All my girls were able to get ready with me and it made the morning so fun. There are mirrors EVERYWHERE -- they've really thought of everything. Lastly, the grounds are also gorgeous and there are so many wonderful options for pictures outside (even when it's -30 degrees on your wedding day like it was for ours). Every single one of our family members was saying they hope they can come back again for another wedding someday. It is truly the perfect wedding venue and you will not regret booking it! -

You will NOT be disappointed!!
Julie, Dave, Corey, Priscilla, & David made our wedding weekend SO easy and smooth. They were beyond helpful and so eager to do anything to make our day perfect. From the minute we arrived Wednesday until the moment we left, they were all fantastic to work with. I hands down recommend Pine Peaks for your wedding. We have gotten so many compliments on our wedding and the food that was served. It was so nice being able to check in on Wednesday and begin decorating on Thursday, and even nicer that they did the clean up on Sunday. We had access to the endless decor for both the wedding and grooms dinner, which was held in the pavilion on Friday and they cleaned and re-decorated for the wedding Saturday! Our wedding weekend was something we will remember and cherish for the rest of our lives, all thanks to Pine Peaks♥️-

Harry Potter Dream Wedding
My family and I cannot recommend Pine Peaks Event Center enough. They were absolutely amazing making our dream wedding into a reality. When looking for a venue, a secluded area was a must as we did not want other people to be in or around our wedding. We wanted to also make sure everything was in the same area for our guests so they did not need to travel to different places. Also, we wanted somewhere nearby for our friends and family traveling far away to stay. Pine Peaks had all of this! The Pine Peaks hotel is right up the road, all activities could be held in the large building, and it was in a very secluded area with dazzling lights covering the trees and beautiful outside decor. When we did the tour of Pine Peaks we were completely blown away by how large and accommodating the building was as well as how stunning everything was. It was gorgeous. With the venue, you also get an entire loft full of decor you can use, help setting everything up by the amazing Cory who helped beyond what we expected, immediate response if we ever had questions about anything from Dave and Julie, and so much more. Also, they have a caterer already associated with them (Maucieri's Italian Bistro) so that was one less thing we had to worry about and the food was delicious! We had a Harry Potter wedding which we were unsure how any venue would react to that but Dave and Julie were so kind, flexible, and excited to try something new. They let us come in a day early to get settled in and were there everyday helping us with whatever we needed. They also let me and my husband stay an extra day in the retreat house. Julie was an amazing help giving us advice of how to set things up, ideas for decorating, etc. Dave made sure that all our questions were answered so we were prepared and comfortable months before the wedding. Cory was amazing helping us set everything up and truly was such a blessing to have during all the days we were there so we did not have to worry about much. They all went above and beyond for us. A few examples...I forgot my white bridal robe for the morning of the wedding at my home which is 30 minutes away from the venue. I was having a slight panic attack since all my bridesmaids had gold robes but one of the owners Julie, at 7 in the morning, brought one she had to me. Also, there was a lot of snow on the ground being middle of December and there was a beautiful area of trees we wanted to take pictures but couldn’t because of the snow. But, Cory shoveled an entire patch and huge circle out for us so we could take pictures! Lastly, they purchased magnets for us to help hang our floating candles which we never would have thought of! I could go on forever about how perfect and amazing our wedding was because of this place and the help from Julie, Dave, and Cory. I very highly recommend them. It could not have been more perfect!-

Couldn't have asked for anything more
We had our wedding September 28 at pine peaks. Julie, Dave, and Corey were all beyond amazing! They thought of every little detail and went above and beyond to make my wedding vision a reality. It was more than I could've imagined. Having the Retreat house starting the Wednesday before the wedding was so convenient for setting up and planning. I couldn't imagine having to do it all on our own in less than a day. If you are looking for a stress free wedding celebration with great people to work with this is your venue! -

Made our wedding beyond amazing
I can't say enough about the property and venue. Dave and Julie Peterson, along with the manager Cory go above and beyond to make everything as easy as possible. There is a house on the property that you can rent on your wedding week. You are given full access to the property from Wednesday-Monday the week of your wedding. Dave even threw in an extra day since we got married over the 4th of July week. This allowed us to get the week started on Tuesday, with decorations mostly done on Wednesday. Nearly all of our guests came from out of state, we were able to host on Thursday (cookout), Friday (taco bar), and Sunday (brunch). Yes, we hosted all guests for 4 days. About 1/3 came on Thursday and 2/3 on Friday and Sunday. It was a little stressful planning wise yet so much fun to celebrate for more than 1 day. The venue provides a full kitchen, dishes, and literally anything needed outside of the wedding day itself. Julie also has a huge amount of decorations which was so nice, I didn't have to buy much at all in regards to decorations. We had small wedding (70 guests), the venue can hold a lot more but it was nice for us to have plenty of space. It's really a destination venue, and we are so happy with the decision we made. -

Beautiful Wedding, Outstanding Venue!
“It was the most beautiful wedding that I have ever been to!” The comment I heard over and over again about our daughter’s wedding at Pine Peaks Wedding and Event Center. I can’t thank Dave, Julie & Cory enough for all they did to make the wedding week such an extraordinary event!, it was magical! The help they gave us to hold the rehearsal dinner & ceremony at our lake home made our job as parents much easier. The reception hall was exquisite and having the lodge there on the grounds made for a great gathering place along with hosting the bridal party. I loved being able to have had a place for me to get ready along with all the girls and our out of state guests. Pine Peaks was a dream come true for our daughter and son-in-law, and a great burden off their parents. To have a place that offers so much was a true blessing and a great find in northern Minnesota! Many 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 to the Petersons and to Pine Peaks Wedding & Event Center!!-

Amazing! Perfect! Best day ever!
If you're looking for a wedding venue, Pine Peaks should be it. They literally have everything you need to make your own fairy tail. Dave, Julie and Cory are amazing, always helping, supporting, decorating, taking pictures, and making your day about YOU, not the decorating or the stress, just YOU. They allow you to use their thousands of decoration, and apprently never say no to anything you ask. They were literally able to meet all our requests and without hesitation. Their grounds are gorgeous, covered in beautiful flowers and decor for everything you want to do, and their retreat house is so spacious for you and your wedding party, taking away all your worries. We arrived Wednesday night, were set up with our beautiful decorations by Thursday night, flowers put out Friday and nothing to do Saturday but say "I Do" and party of course. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding and Pine Peaks and their staff made it the best day EVER. Our guests couldn't get enough of the beauty that the site had to offer, and couldn't stop telling us how amazing everything was. Even better when it's all done and your guests are gone, you don't need to be, nor do you have to clean up everything you put out (huge bonus). The food from Maucieris was so delicious and there are so many options available. Jean and her staff get food out the door and too the guests in no time, it really is a full service venue that can't be beat. We will always hold a place in our hearts for Pine Peaks, and not just because we got married here but because everything was so perfect and Dave, Julie and Cory make all that possible. -

Long Weekend Wedding
When we looked for wedding venues, every place had restrictions. For example: can't start set-up until Friday night, must be out by 6am Sunday morning, no loud noise, no campers, no pets, or can't bring anything of any kind of your own.
Not Pine Peaks! From the first time you talk to or meet Julie or Dave (husband-wife superteam), you will be blown away with how flexible, inclusive, creative, and friendly they are! Despite having a wedding every weekend, they talk to you like you're the only or first bride they've ever worked with.
We live out of state, which made choosing this venue an easy decision. They have an entire loft and outdoor storage areas filled with classy, beautiful, rustic, sparkly, romantic, and creative decorations. This was a game changer, because I barely brought/bought anything for decorations to the venue. And we had a beautiful wedding!
The freedom and inclusiveness of Pine Peaks is the best thing a bride could ask for!
We were able to show up Wednesday and use the Retreat House to have family only barbeque to let the two families meet. Thursday we had all day and evening to sip (our own) wine and set up the venue to however we wanted. We didn’t have to bring in boxes and boxes of decorations that we purchased and transported, but rather just run upstairs to the Treasure Room to create our beautiful wedding decor. When we arrived, they had all the tables, chairs, booth/buffet tables all set up in the venue. Friday, they also had our rehearsal dinner set up in the covered outdoor pavilion with beautiful tablecloths and chairs. We saved so much money by bringing in our own food and alcohol for the Rehearsal Dinner. We had full use of the property for games, food, rehearsal, and a bonfire.
Saturday was a dream. We utilized every inch of the property, and no extra cost! Using the Retreat House for getting ready and hosting our wedding party, post-ceremony tractor rides, indoor and outdoor bar for cocktail hour, games, smores and bonfire, 10pm free woodfired pizzas, and the amazing Maucieri’s catering! Plus after the vendor bar closes at midnight, we were able to play our own music and bring in our own coolers. There’s no “lights out by or music off by” any certain time.
We felt so special all week and weekend! Julie is so creative and eager, Dave is so thorough and easy-going, and Cory is a secret weapon you’ll meet the week of your wedding. All our guests kept telling us how amazed they were with the beautiful venue, and you will feel the same when you choose Pine Peaks. They make you feel like family😊

Pine Peaks is absolutely beautiful and convenient. The staff members are very knowledgeable and helpful. Dave, Julie, and Corey know exactly how to help coordinate all of the events during the wedding day as well as have a back up plan if need be (for example, if it rains). All of the staff members were incredibly professional and friendly. They always had a smile on their face. I would highly recommend Pine Peaks. -

Fabulous place and excellent service
Wonderful experience! It is absolutely gorgeous! Julie was putting flowers in the gardens for that extra touch. Very likable, professional people who focus on you to make your wedding perfect!

Excellent Experience
I was lucky to get married at Pine Peaks last weekend. Julie and Dave were excellent throughout the whole experience. I would highly recommend this venue and the combinations of these two with the operations manager Corey for your special day. -

The Best Experience
Matt and I are so lucky to have found Pine Peaks! Because they are located 3 hours from the Minneapolis airport, they've made themselves an all-inclusive wedding venue. They provided on site lodging for us, the wedding party and our families, they had tables, chairs, a room FULL of decorations, and caterers via Maucieris catering. They also gave us a discount because our wedding was during the off season (early April). AND they purchased centerpieces for us (I found them on Amazon and Pine Peaks paid for them and kept them afterwards). But what made them truly special, was their genuine care and attention to every detail. A few days before we arrived, Julie (co-owner), decorated the cocktail hour room based on our theme. She helped with all of the setup and decorations, but without ever overstepping. Long story short, they will work with you to make sure your wedding is what you want it to be. I would highly, highly recommend them!-

Incredible Wedding Experience
Dave, Julie and Cory did such an outstanding job that I’m not sure a review will do them justice, but I will try.
My husband and I booked Pine Peaks Event Center pretty far in advance of our wedding and from day one, Dave and Julie were accommodating in every possible way. They sent us plenty of information to get us started and once we had our official tour of the site, we knew it was the place we wanted for our wedding day.
They allowed us to visit the site a few times between booking and the day of, which was great in helping get us an idea of how we wanted things to look and also be able to see the site in different weather conditions.
For the weeks leading up to the wedding, Dave and Julie were amazing with communication. We knew we wanted to use a large portion of their decorations from Julie’s treasures room, but wanted to make sure all of the details were just right. Julie emailed, texted, and called to ensure I had pictures, answers and reassurance the entire way through.
The week of the wedding and wedding day was nothing short of perfect (even with rain). Cory came in and set up everything, just the way we wanted it. He took every request we threw at him and ran with it. He had the best attitude and made everything just so easy. Julie and Dave also ensured we had everything we needed right from the start. Julie had great suggestions that helped us immensely when we weren’t quite sure what to do and that also made everything so simple for us.
The retreat house is a huge added bonus that our entire wedding party benefitted from. It was enough room for all of us, convenient being located right next to the venue and just an overall amazing place to stay with great amenities and a beautiful view. It made the entire experience feel more special and intimate than a hotel or other location to stay in.
From answering my countless emails, to ensuring every forgotten detail was thought of and handled, I can not recommend Pine Peaks Event Center enough. They go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need and to make your day (and honestly the months leading up to it) as easy as possible. They include amazing extras like late night pizzas for guests, tractor rides around the property, fire pits for s’mores and so much more. The venue is beautiful any time of year with the surrounding landscape and we are just so happy with how everything turned out.
Thank you Dave, Julie and Cory. We will never forget our wedding day and it’s in huge part thanks to you three.

Perfect venue, perfect wedding weekend
Dave, Julie, Cory and everyone else involved at Pine Peaks do everything they can to make your wedding weekend perfect in every way! They are truly wonderful people, and it shines through in the business they run! as a busy medical student, I didn't have tons of time to spend planning/decorating for my wedding, but wedding planners, decorations and most all-inclusive type venues were prohibitively costly for us. My biggest priority in selecting a wedding venue was a balance between cost and ease of planning. The second we toured Pine Peaks with Julie, we knew our search was over. The venue is beautiful, the treasure room is an incredible resource for any DIY bride that doesn't have time to DIY and Dave, Julie and the team are so experienced that you can rest at ease that your big day will go smoothly. Having the venue for the entire long weekend is an incredible perk, allowing you to not only celebrate on the wedding day, but also have the time to enjoy and relax surrounded by your family and friends. We could not be happier with our choice to get married at Pine Peaks and we would recommend this venue to anyone!-

Pine Peaks Event Center is Fabulous!
Pine Peaks is a Wonderful Event center to host your wedding. Top Notch! Very personable Dave & Julie and staff are very involved in the Wedding activities and helpful with decisions along the way...I would highly recommend them above any other! So much is included in the pricing which is very reasonable! The wedding house on property is gorgeous and the hosted hotel in Crosslake had taken great care of our guest. Exceeded our expectations and they will yours as well! The grounds are beautiful! We had a winter wedding and it was great to have the house/event center and hotel so close we you dont have to worry about bad driving conditions. The Wedding day was so carefree on our end as they do everything so we just had to sit back and enjoy the day! 100% recommend using Pine Peaks to anyone even if its a Family gathering or business event. We were sad to leave. -

Incredible venue
Our daughter was married at Pine Peaks and everything about the venue was perfect. The staff (Cory rocks!!) was attentive to every detail, helpful in every way. The owners, Dave and Julie, were there to help us through every step and offered amazing suggestions. We would highly recommend Pine Peaks. It was incredible to be able to spend so much time together there as family and friends gathered to create a perfect wedding event. Highly recommend! My husband even said he wishes we had another daughter so we could have another wedding there!!! -

Amazing Winter Wedding
We had a such a fabulous weekend at Pine Peaks Event Center. Dave and Julie are so awesome! If we had an idea about the space, they made it happen.
We have received so many compliments from how helpful everyone was, how pretty it was, and the flow of the entire weekend! It was a gorgeous property and we had a Family and Friends Dinner the night before the wedding, the ceremony, and the reception all at the Event Center. Our wedding party stayed with us at the Retreat House and are still talking about how fun it was for all of us to be together! Some of our wedding party brought snow shoes and went around the property, they took advantage of the sauna, and we walked over to the Event Center the morning of the wedding and did yoga on the dance floor. It was a magical winter escape with all the people we love and we could not be more please with how the weekend went. Thanks Dave, Julie, Cory and all the Pine Peaks Crew that made it happen!

Perfect Place For A Wedding
My daughter was married in February '19. We arrived early and stayed in the retreat house on the property. This was fun as it allowed us plenty of family time and it was easy to go to the event center and set it up. We appreciated the many (many!) decorating options that were available on-site (cute and budget-friendly!). Dave and Julie were great to work with and the event staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail was attended to. The wedding party stayed in the retreat house for the weekend and friends and family stayed in town at Pine Peaks Lodge. It was a great experience all around. -

An amazing experience!
Dave and Julie were incredibly helpful thoughout our entire experience leading up to the wedding. When we arrived a couple of days before the wedding, we had a couple staff members assisting us with setup and the sometimes overlooked items! The whole team made for a very positive, beautiful, enjoyable and minimally stressful wedding WEEK! I would highly recommend Pine Peaks to anyone looking for that perfect venue to host their special day! -

Better Than I Imagined
We received so much more than we expected when choosing Pine Peaks for our wedding vendor, and there was no unexpected cost to all the amazing extra things they did for us. Dave, Julie, and Cory were all three beyond amazing, helpful, understanding, and accommodating. Beautiful place which is obvious. Being able to help decorate and set things up the way that we wanted on the days leading up to the wedding was amazing. And then having the space in the Retreat House to allow our bridal party and family to stay with us the days leading up to the wedding was more than we ever could have asked for! For such an important day, it was nice to be able to stretch that out into 5 days and truly be able to enjoy all of it. I can't imagine how rushed a "normal" wedding situation would feel.
Our time up there, as well as the wedding day itself was beyond perfect and better than I ever could have imagined! -

Dave and Julie were incredible at accommodating our needs. The venue was beautiful and we were able to decorate it however we saw fit. The icing on the cake was that we didn’t have to tear down the decorations the day after the wedding! -

AMAZING! Highly recommend!
Renting Pine Peaks Wedding and Event Center was by far the best decision we made! Dave, Julie, and Cory were AMAZING to work with. Their attention to detail and responsiveness was incredible. They never were annoyed with all the questions we asked and went out of their way to make not only the day but our entire wedding weekend incredible! We loved being able to rent out the retreat house, which is on the same property as the venue. It was great being able to spend four nights there so we could enjoy more than just one day. It made set up so much less stressful and everything was taken down for us right away the next day. It saved us SO much work. Our wedding party LOVED being able to walk across the property to crash at night and it was a blast to have all of our closest friends/family in the same place all weekend. For anyone who is questioning whether or not to have a wedding here, DO IT! You won't be sorry! Thanks Pine Peaks staff for helping us make our dream wedding come true! -

Pine Peaks is amazing!
My husband and I are so happy we went with Pine Peaks for our wedding weekend. Two reasons made us ultimately choose Pine Peaks: 1) you are able to be there from Wednesday through Sunday rather than just 24 hours, and 2) their huge decoration library meant that I didn’t have to spend an extensive amount of time creating my own decorations or spending loads of money on them. They had everything I needed regarding decoration. The space, inside and out, is already so beautiful I didn’t need much to make it into my vision. The days leading up to the wedding were great - because of the Retreat House, our entire wedding party was there for support. The parking space for campers allowed our parents to be there as well. Dave & Julie were there everyday to answer questions or offer help, as well as their staff, Corey, who was also super helpful throughout the entire experience. I never had an issue with communication. Our wedding day was amazing!!! Dave, Julie and Corey were there to help all day. The only suggestion I have for the venue is to offer options for catering, rather than hold an exclusive contract with Maurceries. The food was great, but I was disappointed with bar staff. That being said, I wouldn’t have had it any other way. Thank you Pine Peaks!!!-

Amazing! Everything went perfectly, exactly what I imagined and more!
The BEST place to get married. Dave and Julie really know what they’re doing and made this such a smooth and easy process. They had ALL the decorations and more and Julie really has an eye for decoration and making it exactly how you want. They are very organized and have so many fun ideas. The retreat house was so nice to have as well! We had our whole wedding party with us the whole weekend and we had so much fun. Both the event center and retreat house are beautiful and worked out so well. The land that the event center is on is beautiful and there are tons of pine trees around so it’s lerfect for outdoor pictures. Highly recommend this place!!! -

We had a Perfect, Stress-Free Wedding!
Pine Peaks Event Center amazed us at every turn. They have every last detail down, especially the ones we did not think of! Although we believed we came in with a good grip on everything (and we did have the majority of the important details covered), Dave, Julie, and Cory filled in all the gaps to make our day more special than we ever hoped for. They provided excellent help and ideas wherever the opportunity arose, and yet they also allowed us to execute our own vision and dreams however we so desired for all the aspects of the wedding that we had predetermined ambitions for. The partner vendors worked together seamlessly to make the entire process effortless for us.
We cannot emphasize enough that Pine Peaks is not merely a beautiful building set out in a delightful countryside setting; the owners and staff made a personal investment of their time and energy to bring our dream wedding to life and treated us like their own family. We could not be happier with our decision to book Pine Peaks Event Center for our special day. We would encourage anyone looking for the perfect place for their own ideal wedding to come visit this wonderful locale, and we are looking forward to returning here to celebrate the weddings of friends and family who have already told us they felt the same magic we experienced in this fabulous setting.-

I have not one regret with our decision to book with Pine Peaks. I wish I could go into more detail but I would literally be typing all day. From the convenience and ease of having the retreat house and event center right next to each other, to their treasure room and being able to have full access to decorate your own way - this venue is everything that you could possibly dream of. Our wedding day went so smoothly due to the amount of staff and help that they had to make every transition easy! The land and venue itself is beautiful and so peaceful. I am so grateful that we chose to have our wedding here and will continue to recommend it to every newly engaged couple. -

Wow! What an AMAZING weekend we had! There are not enough words of thanks for what Pine Peaks and their amazing staff do. We were so well taken care of and felt loved from the moment we arrived. They made us feel like family and like they cared just as much about our wedding as we did. The whole experience was incredible. Not only did we hear from guests how amazing the property is, we couldn't stop talking about what a great experience it is for a wedding party. To have everything on sight, with someone there taking care of you was invaluable.
We didn't have to take care of or worry about the logistics once we arrived. We had everything we needed. Every question was answered. Every task was taken care of, from setting up for Friday & Saturday, to flipping tables during the reception, to helping pick our perfectly matching decorations, to gathering our things the morning after... Worth EVERY penny!
A HUGE, HUGE, HUGE shoutout to Dave, Julie, Jean, Lynn, and Cory... Plus the catering staff... They are AMAZING! Just AMAZING! They worked SO hard to make our wedding perfect... and it was. They were above and beyond in all aspects. We were blown away this morning to wake up and have all of our stuff already laid out for us! And what NICE people. Kind, good, people. Just the best.
I cannot recommend this venue enough! If you want to have the perfect wedding, this is the place to do it! -

Pine Peaks was an incredible venue for many reasons! Dave and Julie, who run the venue, are incredible people who helped to make our day so special. They were really responsive over 11 months, allowed us to visit the venue as many times as we needed, and always made themselves available for any questions. It was a beautiful spot in Northern Minnesota and I would recommend to anyone. -

If you want a northern minnesota wedding look no further! This was the perfect wedding venue for me and my husband. It was so beautiful and serene and they really let you customize the space anyway you want to match your vision. It had everything I was looking for: open fields for pictures, tractor ride, bonfire, gorgeous venue space inside and out, amazing catering option, cabin feel. The staff was beyond helpful and helped make my vision come alive! I kept saying to my husband how much I hope one of our friends gets married here so we can go back to Pine Peaks!! It was worth every penny! It truly was my dream wedding thanks to Pine Peaks and their amazing staff! -

The whole Pine Peaks team helped us make our wedding the best day ever! They know what they're doing, and they take care of a lot of details behind the scenes to make our event run smoothly. I LOVE the massive supply of decorations we were able to use. So much less stress when everything is right there. We had a blast staying at the Retreat House with our bridal party, family, and friends. We would definitely love to attend another wedding here! The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and no mosquitoes whatsoever. I cannot say enough positive things about Pine Peaks! -

Simply fantastic! Dave & Julie's attention to detail is unmatched. Pine Peaks venue is superb...picturesque, phenomenal decorations, flexibility of setup. With 230 guests, the wedding went off without a hitch. We were thrilled to have all wedding events in one location from the groom's dinner to the grandparent's Sunday brunch following the wedding. As parents, we loved that the wedding party could celebrate in the retreat house without worrying about anyone driving. Access to the event center the ENTIRE week leading up to the wedding was a HUGE bonus for setup and decorating, what a stress free way to go! Special thanks to Maucieri's for a superb dinner, JP for keeping the dance floor kicking, and Kelli Engstrom's eye for gorgeous photos!

Pine Peaks Event Center is by far the best location to have your wedding. Dave and Julie are amazing and go way above and beyond to make sure your day is special, and all of your needs are covered. I can't even begin to explain how much they helped and supported our big day. They reduced my stress level considerably, as well as our families, everyone was so complimentary of their assistance and services. I wish I could honestly give 6+ stars. They deserve so much credit! What makes Pine Peaks Event Center even better is the fact you are the only wedding there for that weekend and if you choose to have the retreat house as well (which I HIGHLY recommend) it allows you to interact with your wedding party, family, and friends more than the average venue allows you to. The decoration room is a total bonus and the quality of the facility and the venue grounds is top notch! I would hands down recommend this location to any family or friend! Every newly engaged couple should for sure tour this place! AMAZING! -

Our daughter's dream wedding came true at Pine Peaks Event Center a few weeks ago. Since we were able to get on the property on the Wednesday prior to the Saturday wedding, the stress of the unknowns, decisions, and decorating were completely gone by groom's dinner on Friday. They had our requested linens ready to go and we had access to their abundant decorations for our use. Every question we had was answered with, "Yes, and let me set it up for you." The wedding party had the time of their lives in the gorgeous cabin, and our guests made several comments about the beauty and uniqueness of the property. The weekend was perfect, start to finish!
Thank you Dave, Julie, and Cory; you are the best! -

Pine Peaks is the most amazing, one of a kind venue! Dave and Julie have created a very special place and they include everything you could ever imagine! My husband and I wanted to be able to celebrate our marriage for more than the 8-12 hours you get at a typical venue so Pine Peaks was perfect for us! You spend so much time, energy, and money on a wedding to be one of multiple per weekend at any other wedding venue. Dave and Julie make your weekend all about your wedding and give you all the time, decorations, ideas and help you could possibly need. There’s absolutely no way you could go wrong having your wedding at Pine Peaks! It is the most beautiful space and Dave and Julie and all the staff at Pine Peaks and Maucieri’s are the kindest, most helpful people you will ever meet! When Dave and Julie say anything is a possibility, they really mean ANYTHING, which allows you to create a truly magical, once in a lifetime celebration! Thank you all for making our wedding weekend something we and all our guests will never forget! -

Dave and Julie were so professional through out this process that can be sometimes stressful! I was at total peace! The retreat house was beautiful and perfect for our wedding party. The event center was perfect for our reception! The landscape and atmosphere is so peaceful. We had a live band play for the dance and Pine peaks provided the stage and anything the band needed, and we were also able to play pandora through Pine Peaks PA system for the dinner! We did not bring a single decoration to the event center, as they had ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING you could ever imagine!!! I would highly highly recommend Pine Peaks Event Center!! Thanks Dave and Julie!! -

My husband and I got married at Pine Peaks Event Center last July and I can’t say enough good things about this venue and the owners! Dave and Julie go above and beyond to make this a stress free experience. They were flexible, helpful and caring not only preparing for the event but also on the wedding day! I had many guests comment on their attentiveness and kindness during the reception. The grounds are kept absolutely stunning during the summertime. You can use any of their hundreds of onsite decorations (and/or use your own). AND we felt like we got more for our money by getting to rent out the retreat house Th-Sun instead of spending all that money for only one day. They truly help YOU create the wedding of your dreams!! -

Pine Peaks Event Center and everyone associated with it made my dream wedding come true on March 10, 2018! I can not sing them enough praises! I have gotten so many compliments that it was a complete fairytale wedding. Such a breathtakingly beautiful venue with even more outstanding help. Dave- Thank you for being so quick to reply on every little question I had. The ease of booking and continued support during the entire process was impeccable. The pride you show for Pine Peaks is shown in everything you do. Julie- YOU are a complete rockstar! Thanks for being so warm, welcoming, and eager to help make it perfect. Your help with the finishing details, overall look, and the smile on your face through it all made my entire wedding week!! Thanks for making everyone you talk to feel like the most special person on the face of the planet. Corey- The best support man of all time! Need some help with anything... just ask! Thanks for being my go-to guy for getting the setup absolutely perfect. Your professionalism was appreciated, and eagerness to help was not unnoticed. Honestly, Pine Peaks helps creates a wedding experience... not just provide a venue. We stayed in the retreat house on the property and were able to experience the entire wedding weekend with our closest family and friends. I haven’t even mentioned the decorations rooms yet! Full of the most beautiful things to create whatever look you are going for! AWW!!! I could go on and on, but honestly Pine Peaks speaks for itself... just go look! Thanks for helping to create my dream wedding- would never have wanted to go anywhere else! -

We cannot say how incredible our experience was with Dave and Julie at Pine Peaks Event Center! From the moment we toured, we were treated like we were the only couple using their center. Dave and Julie were very responsive to any questions we had regarding decorations, suggestions or logistics. Our winter wedding was one of the best days of our lives thanks in part to this awesome location! -

If you're thinking about this venue, stop hesitating, book it! Dave and Julie were very responsive and extremely accommodating on everything. Having the entire wedding party stay at the Retreat house was a wonderful way for everyone to bond and truly make a joyous memorable weekend! Pinepeaks has a plethora of fabulous decorations to choose from which made the decorating process a fantastically fun part of the weekend. Plus, Pinepeaks takes care of the decoration clean up! Pinepeaks has thought of everything that you could possibly need (and want) to help make your wedding weekend stress-free and perfect. We went with several of their preferred vendors and have absolutely no regrets because they all work together like a well oiled machine. The food was amazing, guests were safely shuttled to and from, and music kept everyone on the dance floor all night long! -

Pine Peaks Retreat and Event Center was the perfect place to hold our wedding. Dave and Julie were wonderful to work with from the very start. They were always very responsive to emails and phone calls, and they were always there to provide information and offer help any way that they could. They take a lot of the stress out of the planning process. We didn't have to buy any decor because they provided it all, our guests had a beautiful hotel to stay in nearby, and they have a wonderful caterer who has experience with weddings, so there's no guess work involved. We were able to book the Retreat house, and I must say, it was a great decision. Our family and friends were able to gather there during the day and have a place to sleep that evening that was right on site, so no one had to drive home after the reception. Their staff was amazing and was always there to assist and walk you through each step, from checking in, to decorating, to making pizzas in their wood fire grill, to getting the music set up for the ceremony. They've got a process down and it works so seamlessly. The grounds and event center itself are beautiful and our pictures turned out amazing - it truly was a perfect day and I give a lot of credit to Pine Peaks Retreat & Event Center for making that happen. I would highly recommend them to any couple looking for their wedding venue. -

We looked at so many different venues both online and in person until we finally found the one! Pine peaks was beyond perfect for us, they completely exceeded our hopes and expectations. The highlights for us and the must have for our venue was we didn't have to set up and tear down all in the same day. We had from Wednesday to Sunday to do what we needed, and we didn't even have to clean up, just grab whatever we brought!! Since we had all that time there we were able to have our rehearsal dinner there along with spend time with friends and family in the beautiful retreat house! Next every thing was included, all the other places required us to go through separate companies for chair covers, back lights or really anything. But here they had it all, all the decorations I could dream of plus some!
Our families were pretty hesitant about us having a wedding so far away but once they were there and they saw the natural beauty of it and everything that it was they were sold as well. The one piece that tied it all together was Dave and Julie. No matter what we needed or questions I had they were there instantly! Julie ran around with my personal attendant the whole morning of our wedding helping set up and making things perfect. She had the most amazing ideas and was willing to go where needed. At the end of the day none of us could of been any happier with how everything went!-

When my fiancé and I first toured Pine Peaks we were immediately enamored. The grounds were beautifully maintained and there were so many ways to make it our own. We had a chance to explore the “Treasure Room” and that’s where my eyes lit up- they had every imaginable decoration for any kind of theme. From contemporary to rustic, they had everything one would need to turn an idea into reality. And the best part? It was ALL INCLUDED! We moved along to the Retreat House- A lavish space to spend five glorious days with your closest friends and family. It was such a relief to know that our wedding wouldn’t be rushed and we would be able to really sit back and enjoy. We quickly decided this was the venue for us and paid in full for our special day. Fast forward a few months- life threw us a curveball which forced us to postpone our wedding. The folks are Pine Peaks were compassionate and understanding. They immediately eased my anxiety by assuring me they would work tirelessly to rebook our date. And that’s exactly what they did. All said and done we lost less than 10% of our initial investment. I would highly recommend Pine Peaks to any couple looking for an all-inclusive resort-type wedding with countless perks. -

Perfect wedding venue. Beautiful and serene. Dave and Julie went above and beyond making sure every detail and I mean every detail was attended to. Many of our attendees have called our wedding the social event of the season. Having family and wedding party stay at adjacent cabin was great. This allowed for relaxation, fun and wonderful moments. I wish I could rate them higher!!! -

We recently had our wedding at Pine Peaks Event Center and it was absolutely amazing. Dave and Julie, the venue owners, truly love what they do and really help to make your wedding day/weekend run seamlessly! Having the retreat house right on sight made decorating and wedding prep so easy and most of our bridal party came on Wednesday or Thursday, so we played games, utilized the sauna, and just enjoyed our long weekend with close family and friends before the big day. Between the amenities from the retreat house and the venue, we hardly had to bring anything that we needed for our rehearsal dinner or wedding day from home. It was overall a wonderful experience! I plan to convince any of my friends who are getting married in the future to get married here so I can go back again. The entire place is so beautiful!! We received so many compliments from our guests on the venue itself. -

Dave and Julie were absolutely wonderful! I had absolutely zero stress on my wedding day because them. The venue was gorgeous and our day was perfect. I would encourage anyone looking for a venue to visit with them!
That being said, I was less than thrilled with the catering service they require you to use. Maucieri's has great food and was great to plan with! However, the day of the wedding wasn't as great as I had hoped. We had agreed on 3 different types of BBQ sauce, only two were actually provided. Not a big deal. I was mostly dissatisfied because the servers decided to clear plates before we were finished. I went to the bathroom and when I came back, my plate was gone! This also happened to my friend who left to breastfeed. Wouldn't be a big deal if they didn't take all the good away 20 minutes after the last person got their meal. When you're doing speeches, visiting, thank you's, etc., it would be nice to not have to scarf down all your food in hopes of keeping it.
Overall, I would have my wedding there again. I literally had to worry about nothing and that was worth far more to me than a plate of food.

We can't say enough about these guys...astonishing doesn't even touch it. Dave & Julie are hands down, the best around. They are so accommodating, and so wonderful to work with. The retreat house is perfect, the grounds are beautiful. We had DAYS to decorate, do our flowers, and relax with the wedding party in front of a fire on the porch. On the day of, Dave & Julie were there through it all, making sure everything went down flawlessly! We didn't have to bring in ANY of our own decorations as they had everything we wanted in the treasure chest. You will not find a wedding venue, for this price with this customer service anywhere else. I have recommended them to friends, and will make it a priority to visit in the coming years! Such a special day, made SO MUCH more magical because of them!! -

Pine Peaks venue is not only a perfect destination for a wedding but the owners Dave and Julie are really who made everything go so smoothly and helped decorate our venue beautifully. These two were very quick to answer any questions or concerns I had and full of so many great ideas. You can tell this is a passion for these two and I could not be more thankful to have gone with Pine Peaks event center for our wedding. I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a rustic/elegant experience up north! -

Pine Peaks is one of the best, if not the best, places to get married in the Brainerd Lakes Area!
My husband and I were married May 13th, 2017 at the Pine Peaks Event Center. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue, catering service, or place to stay for the week of our wedding. Dave and Julie were very responsive whenever we had questions and went above and beyond on our special day. It was early spring and they didn’t have all their flowers out yet, but since it was such a nice weekend Julie planted some of her annuals the day before our wedding in the various flower beds around the venue so we would have some color on the big day. They had a new catering/ event manager so they stayed way later than they usually do to make sure all our special requests were met during our reception. Our officiant couldn’t make it to our rehearsal the day before so Julie stepped in (taking a break from gardening) and assisted in organizing the event. Dave and a worker of his manned a computer to play our playlist for our ceremony. If we had immediate family from out of town that wanted to tour the venue before the wedding I just gave Dave a quick call and he would come and open up the venue for us.
The wire has a limit to how many characters I can use so here are the highlights from my full review.
Maucieri's was an excellent caterer and works hand in hand with the event center. We had multiple guest days and weeks after the wedding telling us we had the best food they had ever had at a wedding. The wood fire pizza at 10:30 (which is free with the catering) was amazing and was eaten up just as quick as it came out of the oven. Very kid friendly, made it a complete family event. Gorgeous venue. Awesome guest house to stay in. Its larger than in the pictures. The event center is one price which was so nice. Every other place seemed like it would cost a fortune after it all added up.
Amazing day and couldn't of asked for anything better!

Pine Peaks event center was the perfect place for our wedding! The grounds were beautifully landscaped and taken care of. The lodge has a ton of room for your entire wedding party! We have nothing but wonderful things to say about Pine Peaks!
We loved the event center and it was beautifully decorated before we even started decorating for our own wedding! One of the things that really drew us to Pine peaks was the fact that everything you could ever need us there! No need to rent tables, linens, dishes, or even decorations! They have so many great decorations to use for all themes and seasons! We had so much fun finding decorations and we didn't have to spend a lot of our own money buying and creating decorations. Dave, Julie and other staff were so helpful the days leading up to the wedding and the day of the wedding! They made sure we had everything we needed! They have so many great ideas and we're helping us set up. It really was a worry free weekend!
The lodge is amazing!! We loved the bridal suite and were able to relax with a sauna, jacuzzi, or shower! There's a lot of space in there as well and the hair salon was perfect for getting ready for the rehearsal dinner and the day of. All of our wedding party and then some stayed in the house and it was great to spend time with family and friends you wouldn't normally get to spend a ton of time with during the wedding. The fire pit and deck Great to hang out with friends and family along with playing pool downstairs and yard games outside, there was a lot to keep us entertained when we weren't setting up and getting ready!
Our guests and wedding party loved the venue! They had a great time at the hotels for those that stayed there but there was a lot of space for people to camp and bring RVs! Many guess told us they had a great relaxing get away as well! They had a lot of fun in Crosslake!
If you want a perfect Northwoods wedding, Pine Peaks is for you! -

5 Stars is not enough to give Pine Peaks Event Center what they deserve for all they did to make our day as perfect as possible. They bent over backwards before, during and even after our Big Day. They had a gorgeous set up with a large decoration room for us to use! We set up just the way we wanted it (over the few days we spent there), celebrated our night away and by morning they had already taken care of the cleaning! All we had to worry about is having the best time. And that's exactly what we did. We will never be able to thank Pine Peaks Event Center (and everyone involved in making our day so special) enough for all the work they did in making our wedding day one we will never forget. -

We got married at Pine Peaks on March 4th, 2017. I had always dreamed of a winter wedding and Pine Peaks was the absolute PERFECT location for my dream wedding. Dave and Julie were beyond helpful with everything from helping decorate, making sure we had everything that we needed, making our outdoor ceremony possible, answering all of the questions that we had and making sure our day went smoothly. They made Sean and I and our guests feel so welcome and so special. All of the decorations that are available made decorating very easy and everything turned out perfect. We also got so many compliments from our guests on the meal provided by Maucieri's. Pine Peaks is a unique, beautiful, amazing place to get married and I would recommend it to everyone. -

Our daughters wedding was in early January and the temperature was 26 degrees below. They still went outside and took pictures. The outdoor pictures turned out great. Dave, Julie and all of their associates treated us wonderfully. The best part of using this Venue was that the walls and ceilings were all ready decorated. They have a room upstairs that holds decorations and they allow you use of them. We rented the Lodge along with the venue. It was the best place to hold all of us that were part of the wedding. There was 18 of us total. Kitchen was completely stocked with everything we needed for cooking and serving. There was plenty of hot water. We had enough bathrooms to accommodate everyone. The bed rooms are really good at holding out the sound. We went to bed early and the others were still up partying. We were never woken up. We received many compliments on the venue and the food. Because we are 2 hours away we relied a lot on Dave's recommendations for a local Dj, florist and Catering. Jeremy from Premier Party Entertainment did a wonderful job with the music and being our Master of Ceremony. Kate from Bloom Design made our arrangements and they were the right size and gorgeous! Maucieri's catered our Rehearsal dinner along with the wedding meal. Kate was very helpful with suggestions regarding food and amounts. We received many compliments on the food and there was plenty of it. We are thinking about using the lodge for a family reunion. -

This was a great experience and Dave and Julie made our day go so smoothly! We were able to use whatever we needed, and if we were unsure they were only a phone call away. They were willing to go the extra mile and explain and answer and questions. We wouldn't change anything! Thank you again Julie and Dave, your two Rock! -

Dave and Julie at the Pine Peaks Event Center are simply amazing! They are very accommodating and helped bring my wedding visions and ideas to life. They are the sweetest people who want to provide you with the wedding of your dreams. Any questions I had were promptly answered. Julie is a sweetheart, she helped ensure that all the candles at the tables were new so they would stay lit all night long, she helped set up our unity display, and gave great advice and ideas that I hadn't even considered. Dave has the kindest of hearts and was very respectful. I feel so blessed to have found such a perfect venue for my wedding day and will be forever grateful to Dave and Julie for helping make my dream wedding a reality. -

Pine Peaks Retreat and Event Center is so amazing! We had the best wedding and couldn't have imagined a better day. We got so many compliments on the venue and the food. Dave and Julie really go above and beyond to help you bring your visions to life. I have never been at a venue that is more accomadating. We got married on New Years Eve and we really enjoyed all of the time spent at the venue. It was so nice having the retreat house right next to the venue for the wedding party to get ready at. Loved having a salon right there for all of the bridesmaids to get their hair and make up done. The groomsmen had an awesome time in the basement with the bar and pool table. We had our grooms dinner in the ceremony space of the event center and it was so perfect. We had JRs BBQ cater and the food was amazing! Maucieris was also great to work with. The food is so good! We had family style pasta for dinner and it was perfect for our event. Kate is really great to work with and is great at helping your figure out the details of the big day. They really did so much to help us! Tim Larson was our photographer and his work is just so perfect! Rendered Keepsakes did our video and Aaron is so easy to work with and really helps capture your day. JP with Premier Entertainment was our DJ and he was so great. The dance floor was packed the entire time and everyone loved the photobooth. Tracy with her team at captiviating beauty did hair and make up and were great to work with. It was so nice that they travel to you and can use the salon at the retreat house! Overall I can't say enough about the place and all the wonderful things they do. Our day was perfect! -

I highly recommend Pine Peaks. It's a popular area for good reason! The site is beautiful and highly adaptable to your desires. If you're having a larger wedding, stay on top of hotel blocks for your guests. The area is a popular location for weddings, and we had 2 other weddings the same weekend to compete with for hotels. Some of our guests were staying 45 minutes away from the venue. -

We were married at Pine Peaks Retreat in August 2016 and could not have been happier with how things turned out. Although we expected the day to be very hot, with our wedding day being in August, it was actually chilly & it rained a majority of the day. Dave and Julie made sure that we had backup plans in place for inclement weather and even umbrellas for all of the guests so that they could still witness our ceremony. Every one of our family & guests raved about our wedding. Leading up to our day, Dave and Julie were incredibly helpful in our planning process and answered all of our questions promptly. If you're looking for an intimate setting with venue owners to offer all of the support you need, choose Pine Peaks for your most special day! -

Were great to work with. The buildings and grounds were perfect. I have zero complaints and nothing but praise. The guests had nothing but good comments about the entire event including the food catered by Maucieri’s . I think the best complement would be that I would defiantly come back without changing a thing!

What an experience!!! Dave and Julie, the owners, made this experience a once in a lifetime!! The most accommodating people, we barely had to lift a finger to get everything set up. The following will outline our experience with each element of our wonderful weekend!
The retreat house was a large home that comfortably fit 20+ guests. Beautiful craftsmanship with many amenities. The Event Center was complete with a library of decorations with which to choose from, a top of the line A/V system, and an extremely helpful staff. We barely had to do anything to ensure that our reception went off with out a hitch.
Maucieri’s provided the food/beverage services, and you cannot go wrong with their services. We received several comments that they provided the best reception food that anyone had ever tasted. The bar staff was fun, and included the owner of Maucieri’s himself.
All in all, we had an excellent experience with Dave, Julie, and the Maucieri’s crew. An experience that you will never forget!!!!
