Our daughter’s wedding there was perfect. Several families connected to the wedding reserved cabins for the weekend, and it was like we had a state park to ourselves. The grounds are beautiful. The groom’s dinner, reheasal, wedding and dance all happened without anyone needing a car. And the dance is a barn dance. Marlette has the experience to help with suggestions, and the entire staff is friendly and efficient. Zero regrets. – Todd H via Google reviews.

We had our wedding at the JX and it was a dream. Emily made the planning process so easy and the amenities offered by JX helped alleviate so much of my planning stress. The venue itself is so beautiful it didn’t need a lot of additional decor, which helped immensely with day of coordination. I am so glad we decided to add-on additional hours in the stunning get ready rooms so it truly was a one-stop shop for us that day. – Tara Gazdik via Google reviews.

This is one of the best wedding venues in Minnesota. The space is absolutely gorgeous and well set up. There’s plenty of space for everything for a wedding to take place.

I’ve had the privilege of shooting at Mayowood Stone Barn twice now and truly it’s one of the most stunning venues. They’re easy to work with, have incredible options for space usage, and as a photographer their venue is a dream to photograph. Here are a few photos I took this past weekend. Truly it’s even more stunning in person. If you’re looking for a dreamy and unique wedding venue to host your event, Mayowood Stone Barn will not disappoint. If I could give more than 5 stars I would! – Lulle Photo and Film via Google reviews.

Gorgeous venue for a wedding! It has the most remarkable draping oak tree behind the barn that makes a stunning spot for a ceremony. The area is vast, more like a campus. The walkways are cement or pavers, so shoes and dresses stay pretty clean. The stacked stone exterior and interior is historic, yet gorgeous. Highly recommend it! – Angie Schottmuller via Google reviews.

I LOVE this venue!!! Camrose Hill is outdoor weddings at their best! I have been lucky enough to photograph several weddings there over the years, and I look forward to them every time!

Not to mention their flower and bouquet creations are incredible! Highly, highly recommend!- Shane Long Photography via Google reviews.

Camrose Hill is truly the most breathtaking wedding venue I have ever seen. There is no other place that even comes close to the magical ambiance you feel as you walk through the grounds amongst the aisles of blooming flowers and greenery. – Angela Johnson via Google reviews.
