We got married at North Star Farm in the spring of 2024. From the moment we toured we knew it was the place for us. Everything we hoped for was all there in one place. Rebecca was a joy to work with. Very organized and thorough, which made everything so easy for us to navigate. Which took so much of the stress away from me in the process. I must say, everything about the day was amazing and it went better then I could have ever imagine.

GarageTown LLC 

5.0

Waterville, MN
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor & indoor

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

This place is a showstopper!! There’s a rustic retro charm to the place partnered with a beautiful green yard, plants, and trees. Brady was so professional and prompt with responding to our inquiries and was more than happy to tell us the story of how the place came to be- so cool! He and his wife Jennifer really know how to decorate and bring this venue to life. Your guests will be talking about this wedding venue for years to come. From antique cars, handmade pergola, nature-filled pond, rustic bar, clematis flower arches, to lush trees/grass you’ll have the perfect unique setting with countless photo opportunities for you and your guests. And if you think it looks good in the daylight, you should see it lit up at night - breathtaking. I highly recommend this venue to anybody looking to make lasting memories at a gorgeous location.

I have had the pleasure of working with Jackie, Jeff, and Next Chapter Winery both as a wedding professional and as a bride, and I can say without question that I never would've trusted another venue with my big day. The winery is absolutely stunning and provides dozens of backdrops for photos without having to leave the property. Staff is always extremely caring and kind, and the owners go so far above and beyond for their couples. My guests all raved about how great everything was. As a vendor, I know that when I shoot a wedding at NCW I won't have to worry about anything. Jackie is a true wedding professional with so much knowledge of how to make a wedding day run smoothly, and the pricing for everything you get at this venue is an extreme bargain. I highly recommend!

We are a 14 acre former dairy farm nestled in a wooded area surrounded by green farmland and our very own pond and wandering creek. Our red barn--built in 1897 with soaring ceilings and stunning pegged beams, and the other farm out-buildings have all the charm you need to make your farm wedding or special event dreams come true.

Goodtree Farmstead gave us the most beautiful wedding. The venue was wonderful and they were so responsive and accommodating in the planning process. It’s the perfect location for a ceremony and reception, with plenty of space for guests to play, eat, and roam around throughout the day. The farm at night, with all the lights, created a great atmosphere for drinks and dancing. The backdrop of the trees, and the barn, and water made beautiful wedding pictures. I cannot recommend this venue and team enough for your event!
