Beautiful, charming, full of options/amenities, and an easy-to-work-with venue owner. Yes, please. I toured a handful of places in MN before I signed up for the Barn at Ballard Creek. Other venues were either too expensive for what you get, the people weren't as approachable or as communicative, or as beautiful location-wise. I love the big red barn, the cottage to get ready in, the cows, the flowers, the big tree where I was married, and more. There's plenty of parking. It's clean. Lindsey helped me figure out how to make the wedding work for my vision and budget. I like that I wasn't forced to pick a specific caterer too. 5 stars all around. Have your event here! It's perfect.

My wife and I got married at North Star Farm in July. We are so happy with the choice we made to get married there. First off, Rebecca was an absolute joy to work with throughout the whole process, she was so much help in answering any questions we had lowering the stress level. Loved that the venue has both a bridal suite(the farmhouse) and a grooms suite(in the dairy barn). I must say from my own experience, the grooms suite is really cool. Our parents kept commenting on how organized everything turned out. Thanks to Rebecca, she didn’t miss a thing. We loved the fact they had decor to use, so we didn’t have to bring any of our own, other than some engagement photos. Oh yeah, I cannot forget about the lighting there, both inside and out. It feels like a different place once the day turns to night, it’s magical. Outside Edison string lights all around. Warm patio lighting and a fire pit. Inside the Uplighting, which is included, that matched our colors too. One of the coolest things that sets this venue apart from all the others we toured was that they have their own dance floor lighting. If you choose one of their recommended DJs, those DJs get full access and control of lighting. Its pretty impressive and I highly recommend going in this direction. Their catering options made it hard to choose just one, but we managed to do so. Their ceremony area is shaded, and all the building on the property have AC including the reception barn! All are musts for a July wedding. Long story short - We cannot say enough about North Star Farm, Rebecca & Scott, and all their staff. If we had to do it again we wouldn’t change a thing about our day or the venue. They were our number one choice! Highly recommend!

GarageTown LLC 

5.0

Waterville, MN
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

Our ol' 10 acre charm farm dates back to before MN was a state in the abstract. It's been in Brady’s family since the summer of '69 and we plan to keep it that way for generations to come. The original family that homesteaded the property came from Czechoslovakia. They built the hand-hewn log cabin on a boulder foundation and owned it for 112 years. Brady grew up in the home since '87 which has transformed over time into the gem that we have today. We kickstarted our journey at GarageTown LLC with our wedding in August, 2021. We look forward to creating more memories and sharing our historic and creative property with you! Forever Grateful, Brady & Jenni

I photographed a wedding at GarageTownLLC, and I fell in love with the place. Jennifer & Brady are the sweetest people, and their farm is magical. I loved the custom details, the mature trees, and the pond. It was a beautiful place to have a wedding. I highly recommend it!

We had our wedding at Next Chapter Winery, and it was the BEST decision ever! We rented both the pavilion and barrel room with 200 guests June 2022. Jackie and Jeff the managers were fantastic to work with! There was never a line for drinks, they helped our vendors day of with questions, and our requests were flawlessly met! We stopped in on our anniversary this year, and they added new features that go above any beyond other wineries for weddings. We love the new ceremony walkway they added. You can tell they really love and care about their clientele as they continue to evolve the winery. My family and friends continue to talk about our wedding for the scenic and intimate celebration.

The Monterey Ballroom was an absolute dream for our wedding! From the moment we first inquired, their communication was fast, open, and incredibly helpful. The venue itself is gorgeous, with both indoor and outdoor spaces that provided the perfect setting for our special day. What really made them stand out though was their incredible attention to detail - they helped us decorate the space beautifully, and even gifted us mimosa supplies for the morning of the wedding! The owner, Mike, was amazing and made sure everything went so smoothly. We also loved that they had outdoor games for our guests to enjoy. The value was fantastic, and we couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue. We highly recommend the Monterey Ballroom to any couple looking to get married!
