y side. Lorah brings decades of experience to the table, and with that, it made for a worry-free and enjoyable experience from start to finish. I cannot imagine having a better experience than what Lorah provided us.
7 Vines Vineyard was the perfect backdrop for our special day. The venue and staff catered to our needs, and the needs of our 180 guests with the utmost highest level of professionalism and hospitality. Their service has left a lasting impression on us and our guests - I'm truly at a loss of words when expressing my gratitude. What started off as a friendship with Lorah, has only blossomed, and I am proud to have her part of my chosen family. By choosing 7 Vines Vineyard as our venue, it has allowed us the opportunity to relive the fond memories of our day with each returning visit. We have since then deepened our relationship with becoming members of Club 7, and Case Circle.

We're grateful to be part of your story and look forward to many more wonderful family memories together.

ner menu.
The venue was fully set up and ready when we arrived. The Vineyard setting is beautiful and provided plenty of room for our 165 guests. Lorah was right there to insure everything was on schedule and set up as we had agreed. The wine is excellent, best wine made in Minnesota and rivals California wines. Weather permitted us to open the West wall of the event dining room to enjoy a perfect late spring evening. The outdoor patio and gas fire pit drew guests outside while the dining room transformed to a dance floor.
We could not have asked for more.

ent planner/wedding coordinator for the venue and she is amazing! She totally made us feel like family and made the place feel like home. She accommodated all of our needs, made every appointment work, and put together an amazing day for us in just about 3 months! Her lists of food, floral, DJ’s, etc, made the whole process easy and thought out. She knows how to put together a wedding and her recommendations are backed by years of experience. If you’re looking to have a fun date night, an excellent wine tasting experience, or get married at a one of a kind location, put this place on the top of your list. Now whenever friends come to visit we can take them to the place we got married and share that special location with loved ones for many years to come.

a curated list of vendors to help navigate choosing vendors. By choosing vetted vendors we had gorgeous florals, great food and a fabulous DJ! Lorah met with us throughout our year of planning to make sure we were on track and no details were missed. The day of the event coordinator we worked with was Shannon. She was fabulous!! The team at 7VV exceeded all of our expectations and made sure any problems at the wedding were taken care of without having to involve the bridal party or guests. I highly recommend Lorah and 7 Vines Vineyard for brides looking for a beautiful wedding venue with a team that will make your day perfect!

It's stunning to see the vines and vinyard change throughout the seasons. I feel lucky to have visted in summer, autumn and winter and look forward to visiting this beautiful vinyard again soon!

sh, the entire day felt absolutely magical.
The stunning vineyard view created a breathtaking, natural backdrop for the ceremony. The beautiful transitions throughout the evening were seamless—from the first dance on the patio to the fun of having ice cream served under the pergola. The ambiance was incredibly romantic, and our guests are still raving about it!
Beyond the incredible atmosphere, the grounds are absolutely breathtaking. The meticulously maintained rows of vines made for stunning photos that we will cherish forever. We were also proud to serve their high-quality MN wines, which everyone enjoyed.
Finally, a heartfelt thank you to Lorah and her team. They were the true stars, handling every detail so seamlessly and going above and beyond to be attentive to our needs. Because of their professionalism, we were able to simply relax and focus on enjoying the day.
I highly recommend 7 Vines Vineyard to any couple looking for a truly magical and unforgettable wedding experience!

Their professionalism elevated the entire experience, allowing guests to relax and immerse themselves in the moment.
It’s rare to find a venue that delivers both aesthetic beauty and operational brilliance. 7 Vines does just that. Whether you’re planning a wedding or attending one, you’ll feel the impact of a team that truly understands hospitality, flow, and the power of thoughtful execution.

Do NOT book with 7vines.
My husband and I just had our wedding at 7 Vines. If I could go back, I absolutely would NOT book with them.
7 Vines is run by sisters Lynn and Lorah. ...
Our initial impression was that they were normal, professional, and willing to work with us to help bring our vision of our wedding come to life. Unfortunately, that was not the case.
Leading up to our wedding day we had multiple interactions with Lorah that left a bad impression (see below), but the most egregious behavior by the 7vines staff took place on our actual wedding day.
Our wedding party arrived early that day to finish getting ready and take photos before our ceremony. We were told by Lynn and Lorah we could keep our belongings in the bridal room downstairs, where they could lock the door to keep our belongings safe. Our ceremony went smoothly, and I went back to the bridal room to have my dress bustled and freshen up for the reception. At that point, I discovered my bag was missing from the room. This occurred despite the door being locked, and while all the guests were at the ceremony. Anxious about my missing belongings, I notified my bridesmaids and proceeded to great/thank our guests. It turns out Lynn took my bag without my permission and then didn’t tell anyone. Lorah claims it was because they found “outside alcohol and didn’t want us to get in trouble with the bar, and felt the bag would be more safe in their office”. This was after 1) we had paid for an open bar 2) the bag was already supposed to be in a “safe” locked room 3) the entire wedding party was acting appropriately, and 4) suggests they waited for everyone to be busy at the ceremony before snooping through our belongings.
Later, during first dances, our friends went to put their jackets in their car. They saw Lorah and the security staff peering into my husband’s car with flashlights. Lorah and the security staff scurried away once they noticed our friends approaching. We have no idea what they were doing/looking for or what they were planning to accomplish.
When all of this came out the following day, I was LIVID. I have never witnessed such unprofessional behavior. It makes my skin crawl to think they felt entitled to violate our trust, rifle through our property, take something that didn’t belong to them, and not tell anyone. They treated us like we were misbehaving children despite everyone acting appropriately and treating the venue with respect. Lorah has not returned my phone calls to offer an explanation or an apology. Despite 7 Vines staffs’ best efforts to taint our wedding day, we still had a wonderful time thanks to our family, friends, and other excellent vendors. It is a shame to have such a beautiful venue mismanaged by an incompetent, disrespectful staff. I would not recommend 7 Vines to anyone. I am very unhappy about our experience with Lorah and Lynn.
Other, smaller details worth sharing:
More than one of our vendors warned us about Lorah in particular, noting she has a reputation for being difficult to work with. Unfortunately we had already paid our deposit by then.
Lorah and Lynn are very strict about decorating the venue.
Lorah is a poor communicator. She often sends long, redundant emails/texts with little punctuation. She sent emails in the middle of the night, often multiple in a row.
- Strict no drinks on the dance floor

ith Creative Catering by Molly, Instant request DJ, Alison Lea for photography, Flore inspired for flowers, and Time into Pixels for photobooth. They were all familiar with the venue and made the day so seamless. I had specific things in mind for our ceremony music and a hand made name card display which they accommodated perfectly. We had 150 guests which I think was a perfect number for the space, I think it can technically hold 200 but more than 180 may feel cramped. The pergola looking over the vines was such a gorgeous place for the ceremony and the dining room was perfect for dinner and dancing, especially with the beautiful flowers. The wine was amazing, and I will definitely be back as a guest to enjoy the winery more!

o day of coordinators Shannon and Lynn were very experienced, knowledgeable, helpful, kind, considerate, and made the whole day flow perfectly. =] the entire venue itself is STUNNING and doesn’t even need decorations or lights to shine but all of my vendors from the florist, to the DJ, to the bar tenders, the caterer/wait staff, the photographer, to the linen crew really made the place just sparkle in a way I could never have imagined. THANK YOU also to Lorah, the director of hospitality for all your help. She was always available to talk if I had any questions or concerns. I truly felt taken care of and couldn’t be more happier with my wedding day. Already can’t wait to come back to visit the winery for more wine tastings !! 5 STARS!!!

and made sure we hit the barrel room for pictures and had good spots for first looks. The only reason I knock one star out of ten is we had some minor miscommunication where things got written down incorrectly a couple of times, but I was on top of things and was able to correct everything in plenty of time. Everything went smoothly on the day of, and it was so gorgeous. We went for a "less is more" approach to decorating, and this really helped show off the natural beauty of the venue. Also, all of our guests loved the wine, and we got to bring home a couple of extra bottles that were left over at the end of the night, which was a nice bonus.

am at 7 Vines was the most transparent about costs and details than any other venue we looked at. Throughout the planning process, Lorah was always available to answer any questions we had or address any concerns and even asked certain questions that helped me better prepare for the day. Leading up to our wedding day, Lorah met with us a few times both over the phone and in person to ensure all day-of details were aligned so we had no worries on our wedding day. Our actual wedding day was well organized and the entire day flowed smoothly. We’ve received numerous compliments since about how beautiful the whole wedding was. I would definitely recommend 7 Vines and Lorah to any future bride looking for the perfect wedding location!

Our wedding reception at 7 Vines Vineyard was a dream come true. It was an amazing place to host all of the most special people in our lives. People enjoyed being outside, as well ...
as inside. Both the ballroom and the grounds were incredibly beautiful and inviting spaces for people to gather and enjoy the evening. Our Newlywed photos in the vines (and precious moments of hidden joking around with our bridal party) are priceless. The recommended vendors we worked with (Molly's Creative catering, Florist Tara Nelson, and Nelson's Ice cream) thanks to 7 Vine's relationship with them were absolutely incredible. Each delivered and outstanding, beautiful, memorable experience for us and our guests. My husband and I cherish that we will be able to drink True North 7 Vines wine for the rest of our lives and remember celebrating our first evening as husband and wife in the vines and around the vineyard grounds. Thank you Lorah Palmer and all of the 7 vines staff for blessing us with such an incredible celebration of our marriage.

We had so much luxurious space to mingle, move and gather. Inside the lovely space we again had many options to relax and visit.
We hired a florist to do table arrangements only. Nothing else was necessary and the place shone like a fairy tale.
Since the wedding we have been back to relax, have wine and feel like it was still ours. What a bonus!
Thank you Lorah and 7 Vines. We will enjoy coming back many, many times.

The varied environments ensure magnificent photo opportunities, and our attendees thoroughly appreciated the entirety of the premises.

The vendors that they require/recommend are all top notch, and we felt everyone was completely taken care of - which was important for us, as our guests' experience was at the top of our mind the whole time we were planning.

knew we had found something truly special. We lived out of state and booked this venue sight unseen but from our consultation call alone, we knew we could be confident in Lorah and her team. Lorah helped make the entire process seamless from start to finish. Her organization and expertise in this industry helped us feel calm and that all behind the scenes items were being handled in the best way.
The day of the wedding was a dream come true. We had two amazing coordinators, Lynn and Shannon, alongside us throughout the day and they gave everyone such peace of mind and ensured the day went through with no glitches.
Lorah is simply the best of the best and I cannot thank her enough for helping us put on the best day ever. We are still receiving so many compliments about the day, the venue, and of course the wine from all of our guests.
We will forever be grateful for 7 Vines and will recommend this venue to anyone we know. Just know if you decide to host your wedding here, you will be in the best hands and have a the most beautiful and timeless day.
