“Working with Pleasant Pastures Weddings and Events was a truly magical experience. From the moment we first reached out, the team was compassionate, thoughtful, and incredibly professional in their communication. Mindi and the staff broke down the planning process into smaller, manageable steps using their convenient online portal, which included helpful tools like a venue layout program and examples of detailed day-of timelines. The entire weekend staff was also extremely attentive and detail-oriented, ensuring that our wedding day ran seamlessly - from managing the weather-sensitive tent setup to providing a stunning selection of decor that made cleanup a breeze. Most importantly, we never felt like just another couple on their weekend schedule. The Jennings family welcomed us into their home and made us feel like cherished members of their own family.

In 1910, President Taft signed the bill to establish Glacier National Park as the country’s 10th national park. Mr. Healy was given a plumbing contractor for the train depot here in St. Paul, where he met Samuel Bartlett, the architect of many of the railroad depots and Glacier National Park Lodge. Healy then commissioned Bartlett to renovate and enlarge the house. In 1914, the farm was sold to John Healy, the owner of Healy Plumbing and Heating Company of St. Paul. Mr. Healy’s company became closely tied to the Great Northern Railroad, as it provided the heating and plumbing for many of the train depots that were being built around the country at that time. The farm was named Hope Glen Farm, the name of John Healy’s mother’s maiden name of Hope, and the house settles in a Glen, thus Hope Glen.

“Our wedding at Hope Glen was absolutely beautiful. Michael and Paula have done a wonderful job making the property look nice and have great staff. The treehouse was amazing to be able to stay in the night of and we will absolutely be going back sometime. The only thing that came up was the girl who did our morning orientation did a very poor job. She was young and didn't really seem to know what she was talking about, and left us with little to no helpful information day of. There were a few things, such as the hanging basket that she wouldn't have even told us how to do if we didn't ask, which isn't helpful because we don't know the venue like she does. Ultimately, I would absolutely go back if I could! I look forward to reliving the memories everytime I drive by!!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better venue than Union Depot for our wedding. The venue manager was clear, communicative, and flexible throughout the planning process. She helped us with deadlines, floor plan adjustments, parking validations, access to getting-ready spaces, and being on-site the day of to support with our wedding coordinator. We also appreciated how affordable the venue and getting ready spaces cost for our budget. The venue itself was beautiful, and it was a relief to do a final walkthrough and drop off decorations the day before the event. The Waiting Room setup with digital signage, pipe and drape made it easy for guests to know where to go, and Union Depot offered stunning indoor and outdoor photo options, which was especially important given the unpredictability of the weather conditions. We can’t wait to visit Union Depot in the future to hop on the train/bus and reminisce on our wedding day there.”

“Quincy Hall was an incredible venue for our wedding! We had around 200 guests for our September wedding and it felt simultaneously spacious and cozy. The QH team was very responsive and helped with planning every step of the way. They were also super accommodating and helped fine ways for us to meet out budget while still getting the experience we were looking for. The venue and surrounding area had a number of spots for stunning, industrial vibe photos and we couldn't be happier with the look and feel for our day. Our food was also outstanding. We knew the food at Crave would be delicious, but we received so many compliments from guests about their meals. They have some of the most reasonable prices on the market and the catering staff were super professional and polished. Overall, we had a great experience and would highly recommend Quincy Hall!”

“It is hard to put into words how amazing Crooked Willow is. It is unbelievably beautiful and it’s obvious Derek and Jody have poured their souls into making this venue one of a kind. Our day was very cold and windy, but our spirits never faded as we knew there was amazing interior space to take our photos. Derek and Jody spent so much time with us making sure everything was exactly the way we wanted and also gave us many options and ideas we didn’t think of that took our wedding to the next level. They are wedding pros! They also bring to the table an extended network of small businesses that, when married in unison (pun intended) with Crooked Willow, operate like a Swiss watch. Seriously, every company we worked with was recommended by Crooked Willow and they did not miss the mark! We had one minor hiccup on our rehearsal day, I let Derek know and he handled it without us even knowing, no worries. These guys are here for you on your wedding day, they truly get it and understand it’s the most important day. They are extremely responsive to messages and ideas. Derek was also our bartender which was really cool. Ultimately, if I could marry my wife a second time I would and I would do it at Crooked Willow!”

“The 3Ten was an absolutely perfect venue for our wedding. The venue itself is beautiful and didn’t require a ton of additional decor on our part (which we loved). The exposed brick, the chandeliers, the bar, and marquee signs were a few of our favorite elements! It also was a really affordable option not too far from the cities. The real star of the show though was our Day of Coordinator, Tina. From our first open house she was with us every step of the way answering all of our questions, big or small. She was prompt, kind, flexible, and most of all CHILL. Wedding planning can be stressful and Tina always gave us a strong “we got this” energy in the best way. She helped bring our vision to life and we did not worry once on the day of since she was in charge! We’d highly recommend 3Ten and investing in a day of coordinator like Tina!”

“The Van Dusen Mansion was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the first time we reached out, the staff was fast, efficient, and incredibly kind throughout the entire planning process. The only downside was they have a preferred caterer that was very expensive and harder to work with since they only had specific options and plans. On the day of, their day-of coordinator was amazing - she ensured the flow of the event went smoothly and everything was executed flawlessly. The space itself is absolutely beautiful and regal, creating a truly special atmosphere for our special day. Overall, we felt the value of the Van Dusen Mansion was well worth it, and we're so grateful to have celebrated our wedding in such a stunning and well-run venue.”

“After touring multiple venues in Minneapolis, the Lumber Exchange was the perfect choice for us. Without knowing exactly what our "dream wedding" would look like, the team at the Lumber Exchange guided us through planning in a way that organically created the PERFECT day and night for our wedding. The venue's new chef, Ali, was so incredible and worked with us to make a few changes to an already-DELICIOUS menu (we asked for a lighter sauce to go with the salmon) and the guests said all night that it was some of the best wedding food they've ever had! The parking ramp attached to the venue was great for guests to easily access an otherwise-intimidating downtown excursion! The bridal and groom's suites were both beautifully maintained and secure for the day and evening making it so comfortable to get ready and celebrate! Also, between the parking ramp rooftop, the stunning staircase and light shining in from downtown through the massive windows in the Dylan Room, the venue provided so many amazing photo opportunities. We were so at ease for the entire process, and we would recommend this space to anyone looking for a classy venue that is SO well-run, all of the typical stressors one might encounter in planning a wedding are completely taken care of. A special thanks to Hannah Fox who was our assigned (included in the cost of the rental) coordinator and Shannon who was the manager of the building for both our rehearsal and the entire wedding day. They were a dream team one can only........dream of! Attention to detail, charming personalities and complete support of all ideas we had!”
