A Literal Dream
I could not recommend more! The entire Grands team was amazing to work with from start to finish! Joe (general manager) gave us an in-depth tour and made sure we knew all of our options. Mel (events director) made sure we stayed on track with timeline and choosing all the details. Larry (entertainment director) made sure our guests had the best time - I don't think the dance floor was ever empty! And we can't forget about Alyssa (day of coordinator) - she made sure the team had us covered in ways we would have never thought. She made the day stress-free, which was a dream! All of our guests had a great time and couldn't stop talking about how great the venue and team were. 100/10 recommend having your wedding at The Grands! -

Wonderful!!!
Would highly, highly recommend the Grands! They make planning a breeze and they take such good care of you on the actual wedding day. My husband and I were able to enjoy the day and not feel stressed or overwhelmed. :) -

An amazing venue in central MN
We loved our experience with the Grands at Mulligans! They are the best all inclusive venue that we found. They have so many options for decorations and the catering menu that you are sure to find something you are looking for. We appreciated their communication and how responsive they were a few days before our April wedding when we had to move the ceremony inside last minute. Everything was amazing and we recommend them to anyone who is looking for a venue in the St. Cloud area! -

4/15/2023 Kokesh Wedding
The Grands at Mulligans was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we walked in we felt at home. The staff were absolutely wonderful to work with and always made themselves available to answer any and all questions. The day of the wedding went perfectly. The day of coordinator was the sweetest and so utterly helpful. She kept everything moving along and it took so much pressure off my shoulders. I would recommend Mulligans to absolutely EVERYONE!! We are so grateful!!!-

Would 100% book again
The Grands at Mulligans was the absolute PERFECT wedding venue. Everything from the venue to the outdoor ceremony space was beautiful. The best part of this venue is the staff. From the moment we toured, to booking the venue, to the food tasting to the big day -- the staff were so kind and extremely helpful. I had ZERO stress on my big day because the Grands staff was on top of literally everything. It was so nice to have everything donee through the grands (food, entertainment, etc.) as this made wedding planning and communication so easy.
The food at the grands was amazing. We heard from several guests that it was the best wedding meal that they have ever had.
The reception was incredible. The grands provides you with a DJ and meets with you ahead of time to plan music you want and don't want - we have also been told by multiple guests that our dance was the most fun wedding dance they have ever been to and I have to give credit to the grands entertainment! -

The Grands at Mulligans was 10/10 for our wedding
My husband and I had a really great experience with the Grands at Mulligans for our wedding. From our first tour, Joe was so welcoming and friendly, never pushy. I emailed Mel probably once a month, if not more, leading up to our wedding with a laundry list of questions and she always answered them quickly, usually same day. We met one of their in-house DJs, DJ Blakk, at our food tasting and instantly knew we wanted him at our wedding. He kept the dance floor packed all night long and really read the room on what kind of music to play! Alyssa and Joe were absolutely amazing the day of our wedding too- they were so organized and everything was in place! We hired day of coordinators but they were not needed with how much the Grands took care of absolutely everything. We also found the Grands to be very affordable compared to other venues in the cities. Every fee was transparent and we didn't end up being charged any fee we didn't know about up front. We had a Friday wedding (which I highly recommend!) so we saved even more money and we were able to get in the day before to decorate. The shuttle to the hotels was also fantastic and took multiple trips to get all of our (drunk) guests home safety. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for their big day!-

Great venue!
This is a great venue to have a wedding at and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking. They take care of a lot of items on a typical wedding to-do list that most people have to think about i.e. food, cake, music, ceremony, linens, decor and so much more! The staff is great. The food is delicious and the space is beautiful! They also have a list of preferred vendors if you get stuck on who to hire for the other items on your wedding to do list. -

Wedding dreams come true!
Years back I attended a wedding at The Grands and from then on I knew I wanted my wedding there! Being able to book the ceremony, DJ, food, décor, and coordinator all in one place was stress free! Joe and Mel we're amazing and helped me through the whole process. And Larry made sure all of my DJ requests were there and ready! The "cloud dance" is an absolute MUST! It sets your first dance apart from every other one you've seen! They have an on site day of coordinator who helped us so much that day! She made sure everyone was in their spot and timing was perfect. She even brought us through the kitchen when I needed to be out of sight from guests that were arriving early. The price is actually so good for how much you get. It seems like it adds up quickly but knowing I only had to deal with a couple vendors because The Grands does so much was a huge weight lifted. The food is absolutely perfect! We had the Boursin Chicken and it was mouth watering (which is hard to do when its wedding chicken). And the torte cake is beyond expectations! We requested both the chocolate and raspberry flavors and everyone loved them. They also let me have my pup on the day of (outside) and we requested to get into the building an hour earlier and they were able to accommodate us for a small fee.
My one regret is that I should have hired a clean up crew. I felt a bit overwhelmed when I realized the "getting ready area" had to be cleaned up before the first dance. Our families had to get up before dessert and had zero time to truly mingle with extended family and friends. And that goes along with needing everything out the night of. I totally understand why but it just isn't ideal when your trying to have fun. Everyone is just grabbing a box, or décor and throwing it in a truck without any order. Again, just another time where your feeling more stressed than you need to.
All in all, our day was beyond perfect. We had mimosas and beer the morning of and the staff is so friendly and straight to business. When you need something they got you! The bartending staff is quick and efficient and we didn't end up with an astronomical bill at the end of the night because they knew what they were doing! Just a huge thumbs up for The Grands at Mulligans!-

Best Wedding Ever!!!
This was the most stress free wedding planning and day of process I could’ve ever imagined. We had our ceremony and reception at The Grands and everything went perfectly. The staff were so friendly in the planning process and on the day of. All our guests claimed it as “the best wedding ever” because of how much fun they had and how smooth and effortless the whole day was. I would recommend The Grands a million times if I could. -

This venue does it all!
Gorgeous venue, amazing food (including cake) and phenomenal staff! The Grands took the stress out of planning our wedding. If you are looking for an all in one venue, looking no further! No vendor concerns here with their in house chef, entertainment, event coordinator and day of coordinator. Our wedding day went so smooth that we didn't have single concern or worry!-

Amazing Experience!
From our first interaction with the grands, we knew this was where we wanted our wedding to be! Everything about the planning process was so smooth and intuitive, and Clare and Mara were so responsive and helpful leading up to the big day. That support really helped lessen the stress of the entire process! When the big day arrived, we were able to get into the venue early and just enjoy the entire day. Any issues throughout the day were calmly and quickly taken care of. The food and our DJ were amazing at the reception and our guests could not stop talking about either! There isn't a single part of the day that we would have wanted to go differently! -

Grands was "GRAND"
We recently had our wedding at the Grands at Mulligans, and it turned out to be such a great venue! Early on, we their team was very engaging and informative during the process. They take care of just about everything from the set up to take down. All we had to do was put minor decorations in the day before. You won't have to worry about much come your wedding day. The building is unique and really beautiful at night. We were lucky enough to have both sides of the building and everything flowed so well. The food is excellent. We've already had multiple guests tell us how much they enjoyed the food. The sound in that place is pretty awesome too, and their staff knows how to put on a wedding! They'll have a lot of options for your wedding and you can choose whichever you like depending on budget and how you want your wedding to be. For only being an hour from the Twin Cities, it really is a great bargain! You're not going to get this kind of value and customer service anywhere else! -

I cannot speak highly enough of The Grands at Mulligans. They helped make our wedding day perfect. It was so nice having the DJ, food, and venue all done by one group of people. Everyone was SO helpful, we got TONS of compliments on the AMAZING food and the DJ kept the dance floor hopping all night long. They helped make sure there was 0 stress on the day of the wedding. -

This place saved our wedding. We had our hearts set on a different venue until we toured the Grands and immediately booked, thank goodness we did! Just a couple (literally two) weeks before the wedding (the busiest time with rsvp's, finishing centerpieces, decorations, confirming times etc.) my world fell apart with the news that two family members had serious forms of cancer. My fiancé, now husband, and I dropped everything and headed down to Rochester to help in any way we could. We left the centerpieces to my sister-in-law who I now owe for life and prayed it would all work out. By the time we got back it was just a few days before the wedding and I was panicking, but when we got to The Grands at Mulligans for setup it was already beautiful. Everything I had to do there was easy easy easy all of the times had been confirmed, we just put in the decorations, did a quick rehearsal in which our DJ, Larry, had already set up all of the music we needed (LIFESAVER) and we left feeling pretty hopeful. The wedding day went flawlessly. Everyone commented on how beautiful the wedding was, how well planned and smoothly everything went. We had almost nothing to do with it, the Grands took care of EVERYTHING that I didn't have the time or patience to figure out. They ushered people to where they needed to be when they needed to be there, the meals came out hot and delicious, bar service was prompt and everyone had a wonderful time! We have yet to hear a negative word from anyone. Thank you SO MUCH Grands at Mulligans!! Everyone thought we pulled off this fantastic wedding on our own but it was so easy on my part I feel like I cheated! We would definitely recommend this place for anyone and everyone. -

I would recommend The Grands at Mulligans to anyone and everyone. 5/5 stars in everything. The building both inside and out is very pretty and provides for great photos. The people at Mulligans are professional, experienced, flexible, and constantly excited to try new things (like creating a create-your-own-smore station or whatever other unique idea you think would be cool to have at your wedding). Everyone was excellent at communicating with me and my wife in the many months leading up to our wedding. I truly felt they were invested in making my wedding day perfect. I wasn’t just another customer to them. “Weddings” is their business and if they treat everyone as they treated me, business will be great. -

Our experience with the Grands was awesome! I cannot thank the staff enough for making our wedding such a special day. My husband and I got married in October on a Friday. We reserved both the Ballroom and the Lodge sides and were able to successfully stay within our budget. We had several compliments on the food (especially the late night pizzas) from guests. And to top it all off, we ended the night around $700 under our bar budget which was pretty good for having 230 guests!
Let me tell you, Clare is absolutely fantastic to work with and extremely good at what she does!! She is detail oriented, quick with email responses and our meetings were helpful during the planning process. The week of the wedding, Clare sent us a timeline of the day, and maps of the rooms we reserved which we distributed to our personal attendant to use as aids while setting up the reception decor and photobooth. My husband and I were able to relax on the wedding night because we knew the staff had everything covered. What's not to love about that! :) We highly recommend this venue! -

Before making a wedding venue decision, take the time to visit Mulligans and meet with their amazing staff. If the building and its rustic beauty don't wow you itself, the staff's knowledge and commitment to making your day special will. It was evident from the initial tour that this team knew what they were doing. They addressed issues and concerns I hadn't even thought of yet, and had an answer and suggestion for any questions I presented. I went to the tour thinking there was no way I'd be able to afford a wedding at Mulligans but was pleasantly surprised with how competitive their pricing was in the venue market. Clare made the planning process a breeze and it still amazes me how everything we discussed from the timeline of the day to setting out the cupcakes and lighting candles was taken care of for us. Not a single step was missed. Larry did a great job with the entertainment and kept our dance floor full all night. And for the food... I don't have words to describe it. It's been just over 2 months since the wedding and guest from that night still tell me they're craving the meal. Not only was it delicious but the plates were presented in a way that was almost too pretty to eat. Everyone was served within minutes and had hot food. As the bride it was so nice to look out and see all of our guest being able to eat together at the same time. I could honestly rave on forever about Mulligans and all of their employees. They truly understand the wedding industry and have found a way to make you feel like their only priority. We couldn't have asked for a better location or people to work with for our day.

We couldn't have chosen a better place than The Grands at Mulligans to have our wedding reception. From the moment The Grands is booked, the friendly, knowledgable staff makes the planning process incredibly smooth. They offer a variety of amenities on site, which is extremely convenient. Clare was so helpful and always responsive to emails to answer any questions. At our reception, the staff was attentive, the food was phenomenal, and DJ Larry ensured our guests had a fun time at the dance. I would highly recommend The Grands at Mulligans for any bride or groom in Central MN. -

Clare and the Mulligans team are amazing to work it! There is not one thing I would change about our wedding day. Chaz, the DJ, was the best! We received so many compliments on him, and the dance floor was full the whole night! The food was amazing too, we had Chicken Florentine and the Garlic Buttered Steak. Again, we heard from numerous people that it was the best wedding food they have ever eaten, and my husband said it was the one of the best steaks he has ever had. Clare was our "wedding planner" she was extremely fast at responding to my emails/phone calls, and accommodated everything we had asked for. Our wedding was picture perfect at Mulligans and highly recommend everyone in Central Minnesota to check them out!

This venue was absolutely perfect for our wedding. From the bridal suite, man cave, Lodge, patios and ballroom this place has everything you need to make your special day PERFECT. Our dream was to have an outdoor wedding which this venue is perfectly suited for. As our wedding was in the middle of October the weather was always a worry. Less than 24 hours before the wedding we decided to move the ceremony indoors and The Grands didn't bat an eye. They simply set up the ceremony inside the lodge side of the building and 3 months post wedding we couldn't be happier. The fall weather combined with the location right on the golf course made for beautiful wedding pictures. I think our photographer was in heaven. Our wedding was the 3rd wedding we had been to at The Grands in 2015 and all 3 weddings came with piping hot food for all guests in attendance, something not many venues can pull off. There is nothing worse than paying $15-$30 per plate for food and having it served cold. Not only was the food hot it was delicious and not ridiculously over priced for an event center. We have had many of our guests tell us how great the food was and how they couldn't believe all the food options we had available to them (we had hot d'oeuvres, 1 dinner option, s'more bar and late night pizza). Overall we would give The Grands a 6/5 rating if we could. We could not have been happier. -

The food was fabulous! All our guests loved the appetizer dinner and casual feel that Mulligan's provided. They worked well with us on seating arrangements to and provided multiple ideas for seating plans. Our guests felt very comfortable! The bridal suite downstairs was perfect for getting ready the day of. Lots of space and well worth the money to have a place in the winter to get dressed and take pictures. Claire was a fabulous coordinator and gave us a lot of great ideas. Don't buy your own table runners. Go through Mulligans. They were cheaper then buying them in a store and can order as many as you need. Well worth it as we weren't with a lot of left over wedding reception decor to sell later. -

My now husband and I loved this venue! Any time I see my family and friends, they tell me how much they loved the venue, food, service: the entire experience! They help you do almost everything, and can provide you with contact information on the people they enjoy working with-and these people enjoy working with them. When my friend backed out on officiating the ceremony only two weeks before the wedding; The Grands had a few people I could contact. The food was perfect; everyone loved the cake-which they do in house! I have nothing bad to say about any of the planning, process, or the day. I could have asked for a better place to get married! -

My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better reception. From the start the team at Mulligans was extremely helpful. If I had a question they had an answer right away. They worked with the vision we had and helped in anyway possible to complete it for us. The evening of the event we walked into the reception and we're both shocked..it was gorgeous! The staff was right there if something broke or a guest needed help. The dJ was amazing (for not picking him ourselves made me nervous but in the end I couldn't have picked a better one!) We have guests still telling us how amazing it was and how delicious the food was and The overall atmosphere. We both would recommend Mulligans and at the end of the night we both wouldn't have changed one thing about it ... Simply amazing! -

The Grands was always very quick to respond to any requests or questions I had, and they did so with friendly professionalism.
My husband and I felt relaxed and comfortable during the entirety of our reception there. The serving staff took great care of us, and Clare was awesome at managing the flow of the evening. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was, which we consider a win, and with a space as beautiful as The Grands (we were in the Ballroom), I'd have to say you can't go wrong! -

We are still in the process of planning our wedding reception through The Grands at Mulligans and I can't say enough good things about them! From the first appointment we had with them, to any little questions I ever come up with, they are always helpful! It makes planning the reception fun and enjoyable knowing we have such a great team helping us along the way. I highly recommend going through The Grands at Mulligans, they will help you plan the wedding of your dreams! -

The food was loved by all and came at a very reasonable price for plate served. The patio and gazebo area were also a great feature. Mulligans came through for me on a short notice after my first venue had closed their doors without even telling the various wedding parties that had been planned. They were extremely responsive and professional. I would highly recommend Mulligans. -

Mulligans was perfect! Everything about the venue is wonderful. It is log wood with bamboo sticks inside. Beautiful venue for cheap. The food was excellent. People from my wedding still compliment me on the venue and food. We had our ceremony there as well on their patio. I would definetely recommend this place. -

We loved the Grands. They made our wedding day perfect! We loved all the amenities they offered. It truly was a one stop shop making the whole wedding process so much easier!!! We strongly would recommend this to every one we know!! Over all the fire works were my favorite part. They offered way more than we ever could have imagined or dreamed of to make our wedding so special. -

The Grands at Mulligans was out wedding ceremony and reception venue. Through out the planning process the staff was very professional, organized, and flexible. The venue is beautiful and very well kept/clean. The service during the reception was fast and of good quality. The only thing that was not perfect the whole day was the sound system during out ceremony. You could hear the pastor great but the singer kept cutting out. -

All in One Wedding Wonderful
The day went off without a hitch - other than the weather (LOL) but truly everything was absolutely beautiful, the food was great, the DJ was spectacular and the bar service was top notch! During the planning process Mel was also very responsive to my email questions - don't be afraid to ask! Sometimes I felt like I shouldn't send anything but you are planning a wedding - there are things you need to know, so ask! She was always happy to help!
The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that they give you a day of coordinator - which truly is great, they keep your timeline on schedule, fluff your dress before you walk down the aisle, all the things! But, I didn't get to talk with or meet the coordinator until noon the day of my wedding. Hair and Make up was wrapping up and my photographer had just arrived so it was a hectic moment when we met, and since we hadn't spoken ahead of time I had no idea what I could expect from her. I had my aunts come early to light candles and turn on fairy lights as well as set up cupcakes. All of these things are things my coordinator took care of, but since we hadn't spoken before I truly didn't know what I could expect from that position so I think it would be beneficial to at least have a quick phone call with your coordinator like the week leading up to the wedding.
Truly though an (almost) 1 stop shop for your wedding in all the best ways! It is so nice to have so many vendors IN HOUSE and relieves so much stress while planning! If I could do anything over again differently, it would just be the weather!
PS -- I did a full building rental -- if you can make your guest list work to have the ceremony on the ballroom and party in the lodge - DO IT! The lodge is ALL THE RIGHT VIBES!-

When my minister didn't show up until ten minutes before the ceremony (and we didn't get a rehearsal in) these women were fantastic. They lit my candles, which was the LAST thing on my mind, and did a rehearsal.
The patio of the Grand Lodge is BEAUTIFUL. The food is wonderful. Only downfall was their inability to track members of our wedding party. We sponsored beer for everyone but offered an open bar to the wedding party. Some how the five legal members of our wedding party ran up a $500 open bar tab. At four-five dollars a drink they would have died if they really drank that much. This is also on our party as well as they were obviously taking advantage of our generosity and passing drinks.
Another slight annoyance was the slow response time. We booked this venue a year in advance and did not hear from them until two weeks before the wedding. -

The Grands at Mulligan's is such a beautiful venue! The staff were very helpful and attentive and worked hard to make our vision come to life. They were flexible with our budget and helped work with us to get the best value for our money. We had our reception on the Lodge side and it was stunning! We loved the rustic look and the grand ceiling, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful it was! It's the perfect mix of grand and cozy, and the fact that it's 100% private was a huge plus. The only downside is that at peak wedding season (ours was in August) it can be a bit expensive. However, we were completely satisfied and would definitely recommend using The Grands for your wedding (or other event)! -

Mulligans is an absolutely gorgeous venue especially for a winter wedding. The natural beauty of the building makes for easy decorating. The dining crew and lead chef were amazing and we had numerous comments on the quality and portion of the food. The owner of the building was very nice and he has made several updates to the building including two bridal suites that made for awesome photo opportunities. Mara, one of the event planners was amazing. She was easy to get a hold of and she responded quickly to questions. The only negative to the venue was: expensive drinks and strict rules on brining in items (desserts, candy) and one high stress event coordinator. We found that you must be very clear with planning and times and you can't be afraid to ask too many questions. We had an issue with a rehearsal run through time and music due to a poor communication. Overall, Mulligans was a beautiful venue and made for a very memorable wedding day. -

Would book again, but wish we were better informed.
We had our wedding reception at the Grands (Grand Lodge) last weekend and to be clear, we do not regret our decision to book the Grands, but there are several things I wish we would’ve known. A wedding venue is a huge investment, so I’m reviewing here as fairly and honestly as possible for future couples.
Things that went well:
-the food was incredible- better than we even expected, and we are still receiving compliments from our guests about it.
-our DJ. Larry was wonderful.
Things that should be improved based on our experience:
-in the middle of our entree, the day-of coordinator approached us informing us, for the first time ever, that we would need to get our things out of the bridal suite before the first dance. All of our bridal party’s things were in that room, which we had not even begun to pack up. We were never informed, at any point in the weeks and months leading up to the reception, that there was a time the bridal suite would be closed. This created a frenzy (mind you, we are still trying to enjoy our dinner and are sitting in front of all of our guests at this time) to collect our things and move them. Where, you ask? We had to leave bags and bags of things just outside the bar. I was very frustrated by this, and there’s just no excuse for no one to have notified us of this sooner. My assumption is that they don’t do so because they don’t want to face disappointment/frustration from couples.
-the shuttle is not a at all as advertised. First, it is a van that seats about 8-10 people. I’m not sure how many trips it made, but our reception ended at 12:00 and there was no trip made between 12:35 and 1:10. Many of our guests were not able to fit into the first couple of trips and waited, in silence/while staff were cleaning up, until after 1am to be picked up. To make matters worse, several of our guests saw the shuttle approaching at about 12:15 and asked if they could board, only to be told by the driver that the shuttle was obligated on that trip to take guests from another wedding home (in the grand ballroom). So they watched on as it left them in the lobby. This was just really, really not how I had hoped to end the night.
I reached out to the coordinator Melanie and expressed these frustrations and to my surprise, have not received a response.
All in all, we would book the Grands again because it closely fit the vibe and price point we had in mind and was a central location for our families. However, there’s much room for improvement here. My husband put it well when he said “it seems like a venue who brings in a great DJ, great catering, but then doesn’t really know what else to do”. I agree. -

Very nice establishment, BUT when we signed the contract we were in the belief that reaching the allotted minimum spending would have been hard to reach. Turns out that we went almost $4000 OVER the original price we had thought.
Hidden charges left and right that were not expected, not even close to worth it renting this venue. -

This is a beautiful venue and they know it, so you aren't going to get a lot of flexibility if the agreement. Food is consistently good for the standards in this area.
There has been a lot of turnover in the staff at Mulligans in the past couple years. Mara, in the office, is excellent. She is sweet and very responsive. Otherwise, it was tough to count on the people that I was supposed to contact for the wedding. They did not get back to me when they said they would, but again, those people left. The people I signed the contract with were not there when the wedding finally rolled around. My friend was married there the year prior and had the same experience, but we've dealt with all different people.
They are attempting to contract with vendors (decor, DJ, etc) so that all your needs will be taken care of through them, but beware, this WILL increase the price that you would pay individually. Also, this will probably eliminate any flexibility they may have had. Things will change from contract signing to the wedding date.
All in all, our night went off without a hitch, and I was happy with the venue. It was beautiful and the staff that served the wedding party was excellent. I was happy with the communication at the end of the night as well. -
