We got married in July at 7 Vines and it was amazing! The whole day ran incredibly smooth thanks to Lorah and the great staff at 7VV. The ambience and vibe throughout the property is beautiful, and we received so many compliments on how stunning it was. The guests had the ability to be outside or inside which was very nice for everyone there. We highly recommend 7 Vines Vineyard for a wedding, we couldn't have asked for a better day!
We had my daughter’s wedding at 7 Vines last night and it was AMAZING. The venue/vineyard sells itself, but Laura, the staff, and the approved vendors we hired, created an evening event that exceeded our expectations! ❤️
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.
Any questions?
What an absolutely perfect wedding. Our daughter celebrated her wedding at 7 Vines with 180 guests and it was magical.
Lorah and her staff attended to every detail. It felt as if we were VIPs. The lawn was freshly mowed. Gardens were perfect. And those chubby, lush vines...Ahhh
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.
Our daughter’s wedding reception at 7VV was beautiful. From newlyweds emerging from the vines to the cheers of their loved ones, to inside venue everything was well organized, tasteful, and hospitable. Guests so enjoyed moving easily about the property as did the bride and groom. The freedom to spread out knowing that the order of events would be monitored allowed every single person to maximize their enjoyment on this momentous occasion. Lorah and her capable team executed our daughter’s dream wedding reception with style and grace. Highly recommend.
We absolutely loved this venue! Everyone, especially Lorah Palmer, was great to work with. Our friends and family continue to talk about how much they enjoyed the venue. Location was also great. Really close to hotels, downtown Stillwater and White Bear Lake. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique venue with an exceptional team!
An absolute dream of a day! We could not have chosen a better venue. Everyone at 7VV was incredible to work with, especially Lorah Palmer. Lorah was very organized, extremely responsive, professional, and fun! She was on top of everything making sure we had a smooth sailing day. Looking back I am so appreciative of her organization skills because it made the time leading up to the wedding, and the day of the wedding, stress free. The venue is absolutely beautiful. We are so excited to know we can go back to the vineyard to enjoy a glass of wine and reminisce for years to come on our big day. Could not recommend this venue more! We continue to hear great feedback from our guests on how much they loved the venue.
7 Vines Vineyard was the perfect place to get married. The vines were beautiful in June, and the inside of 7VV was great for the reception and dance. We got so many compliments from guests about how beautiful the site was. Lorah and the 7VV staff were so great to work with in planning our wedding from the beginning stages all the way up until the day of. They were helpful every step of the way. I would highly recommend 7VV for a wedding or any other event.
It’s been a year since our wedding at 7 Vines and we are reliving how wonderful our wedding day was! 7 Vines is truly a beautiful venue, and you feel like you are in your own little world celebrating with friends and family! So fun to come back here to celebrate our anniversary! Thanks to Lorah and team for making it so special for us! The planning process was made so easy and everyone at 7 vines made us feel like part of their family!
I had my wedding here and it was wonderful! The venue was beautiful and I loved being able to have our ceremony outdoors. They made wedding planning much easier by giving us a list of vendors they regularly work with. Would definitely recommend!
7 Vines was nothing short of spectacular. The beauty of the place left everyone in awe. But what truly made our experience unforgettable was the staff. They were amazing, helpful, and ensured everything stayed on track and organized throughout the day. Their assistance during the entire wedding planning process was invaluable. Their dedication was evident in every interaction we had with them. We couldn't be happier with our choice of venue and highly recommend it to all future couples!
We had our reception at 7 Vines and could not recommend this venue enough! Lorah went above and beyond on our wedding day to make it such a smooth evening for us. We loved how everything turned out and can't thank Lorah enough for her help with planning and all of the small details that she helped us sort out. We received so many compliments from guests on how beautiful the venue was as well as how much fun they had. We had the Christmas decorations up and this added a great addition to our celebration. All of the recommended vendors were great as well.
As a rental and custom décor vendor, I am asked many times what is my favorite place to decorate. One of my absolute favorites is 7 Vines Vineyard. The venue is rustic, classic and who wouldn’t love to get married in a vineyard. The place makes you feel like you are in Italy with the Pergola surrounded by the vineyard and outdoor seating. Then there is the team – they are amazing to work with and making your day special is their goal. Whether it is the specialized team, the bride’s room, the unique picture opportunities or the overall setting, 7 Vines Vineyard is a must see.
Lorah Palmer and the staff and facility at 7 Vines are top notch! I have been a part of dozens of events over the past several years and the experience has been fantastic. They are professional and the building is always very clean. The grounds are always kept and having a private location with its own parking is such a plus when you have hundreds of guests arriving to attend your event! I have recommended 7 Vines to many of the brides I have met over the years and will continue to do so as they provide an experience that I can always count on.
As the mother of the bride, I wanted my daughters wedding to be everything she ever wanted. I'm a bit of a detail freak and I can say that the entire staff at 7 Vines did not let us down. They were on top of everything, and helpful beyond our expectations leading up to the wedding and the day of as well. The location is great, the venue is beautiful but if you ask me it is the staff that makes this the best place to have a wedding.
During the first week of October, we celebrated our unforgettable wedding at 7 Vines Vineyard. From our first interaction, I was captivated by their attentive service and, of course, their sumptuous wines. The location is genuinely mesmerizing, and the weather couldn't have been better. Lorah and her team functioned like clockwork. The diverse areas provide splendid backdrops for photographs, and our guests were enthralled by the entire venue. The outdoor ceremony among the vines, combined cocktail hour at the bar and patio, followed by the indoor reception was a matchless arrangement. Lorah's expert advice and her proficient handling on our day ensured everything was picture-perfect. For any couple seeking an idyllic setting, 7 Vines comes highly recommended.
Our dream wedding took place at 7 Vines Vineyard during the first week of October. From the outset, I was instantly drawn to their exceptional customer service and delectable wines. The setting is utterly enchanting, and we were fortunate to have superb weather. Lorah and her crew operate seamlessly. The varied environments ensure magnificent photo opportunities, and our attendees thoroughly appreciated the entirety of the premises. We held our vows outdoors amidst the vines, enjoyed a blended cocktail hour at the bar and on the patio, and shifted indoors for the reception—a flawless sequence. Lorah's valuable insights and her adept management on our special day made everything run smoothly. I wholeheartedly endorse 7 Vines for any couple looking for the perfect venue.
Where do I begin... I've been dreaming of having our wedding here since I first visited the grounds in 2021. I fell in love with the atmosphere and never could have imagined that it would become a reality to get married here. When we got engaged, we reached out to 7 vines the next day and were booked as soon as possible :) Lorah was AMAZING to work with and made the planning, coordination, dreaming, and executing so seamless. The staff is so knowledgeable about event planning that I didn't have to worry about all the little details. On the actual day of our wedding, everything was perfect. It went by so smooth and I didn't have to worry about a thing, which does not come naturally. HUGE thank you to 7 Vines for making our wedding more than I ever could have imagined.
I learned about 7 Vines when a good friend of mine had her wedding there. Her, her husband, and those closest to her (wedding party, immediate family) had a lovely, stress-free experience. From that moment, I knew I wanted our wedding to be at 7 Vines as well. Not only is the location absolutely gorgeous, but their support team is incredible. The guidance they provided throughout the planning process was invaluable. I cannot recommend 7 Vines enough!
My husband and I got married on 8/26/2023 at 7 Vines Vineyard and are still reeling from how perfect the day was. We found 7 Vines to be the perfect place to convene our family and friends because of all of the space they provide. Our loved ones were able to be in the bar drinking and chatting, or in the reception room dancing, or out on the patio smoking cigars and talking! And lucky for us, the weather was absolutely gorgeous. Everyone we talked to that day was gushing about how wonderful everything was. 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. Thank you to Lorah and the whole team at 7VV for making our dreams come true! Cheers!

Thank you for your lovely review. It was a pleasure and honor to make your vision a reality and a "dream come true". Cheers to a wonderful life of marriage! Lorah
My husband and I recently had the privilege of hosting our wedding at 7 Vines, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. From the moment we stepped onto the grounds, we 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.

ife was fun, stress-free, and memorable. Your words are beautiful. We appreciate your heartfelt review. Cheers to marriage! Lorah
Oofta.. where to start. It was most joyous day my husband and I have experienced. We live in Colorado, but are from the MN/WI area and this venue did exceptionally well navigating all of our out-of-state needs when it comes to wedding planning. The beauty surrounding the whole day/weekend was acknowledged by my husband and I and we can't thank Lorah, Shannon, and their team enough for making it all a reality. Our wedding was July 1st, 2023 and we are still processing all the amazing aspects that went into the day and will continue to process them for the rest of our lives. Thank you all for your continued hard work to make it seamless for Matt and myself on our day! It was the best celebration to the start of our marriage! We can't wait to come back and visit while enjoying your amazing wine!
P.S. I'm trying to add photos, but having difficulty! Hopefully soon!

We had a GREAT wedding at 7 Vines. The greenery was gorgeous in the summer and having large indoor and outdoor spaces was unmatched. It was very nice to have such a large private venue, away from the hustle and bustle of the Twin Cities. The 7 Vines team has tons of experience and will make sure you have a great event!

We had the most magical wedding day at 7 vines vineyard over Memorial Day weekend. I first met the team at the Minnesota food and wine festival in 2022 and was instantly impressed by their customer service and of course their delicious wine! The venue is absolutely breath taking and Lorah and the team are a well oiled machine. The diversity of the space makes for really gorgeous photos and our guests enjoyed all aspects of the grounds. We had our ceremony outside surrounded by the vines, the cocktail hour was hybrid and the reception was inside and it was the perfect combo. Lorah has excellent recommendations and suggestions and handled everything behind the scenes on our big day with joy and grace. I highly recommend 7 vines to any Minnesota bride!

I absolutely love 7Vines for an event!! When I had my gathering this either, everything was perfect. The venue and the staff were exceptional. They thought of every detail and I can’t wait to utilize them again in the future! Thank you again for an amazing day of celebration!!
Response from the Vendor on 10/03/2023
Thank you for your kind words. We enjoyed the journey of planning and welcoming your special day. There was so much joy, love and happiness in the air. Cheers to a wonderful future! Lorah
Exceptional! This is one word that describes the service and professionalism that we experienced with all those at 7 Vines that participated in making our wedding as special as it was. Things would not have went as smoothly as it did without the direction and guidance of Lorah Palmer, we greatly appreciate her tireless efforts in making it proceed without a single hitch . The preferred vendors she suggested, James Ramsey (Photographer), Laurie (Flore Inspired), plus the 7 vines team that assisted in the service made it an event that those who attended enjoyed immensely. We would also like to thank Colin Bracewell for the beautiful musical contribution he provided for us before, during and after the ceremony! Saying Thank you to all just doesn't seem to be enough! This Venue is A+.

As father of the bride, I could not have been more pleased with the wedding and the reception at 7 Vines. The venue is gorgeous, the entire staff was so helpful and gracious throughout the entire afternoon and evening. The meal served by Creative Catering was delicious and served piping hot to all of our guests. The photographs taken outdoors on the premises were breathtaking.

Had our wedding reception at 7 vines on 10/29/22 and couldn’t be happier. The venue is beautiful and the staff was amazing every step of the way. We looked at several other venues and knew right away 7 Vines was our favorite. Our wedding date was supposed to be in June but unfortunately me and my wife got Covid the week of. Immediately we were panicking and stressed, but 7 Vines was so accommodating and we were able to seamlessly reschedule on short notice for October! Thank you 7 Vines for everything!

7 Vines is a gorgeous wedding venue and from our first visit we could tell this was where we were meant to get married! We received many compliments from guests on how beautiful the grounds were and there were many locations for photos. The DJ, Caterer, Bartender, and Florist were all recommendations from the venue which really helped streamline the selection process. They are clearly experts at running events and everything flowed perfectly from ceremony through reception. They packed everything up for us making cleanup a breeze. We look forward to celebrating anniversaries to come back at the winery!

Thank you for your heartfelt words. It is wonderful for us to know we made and impact on making your wedding day memorable. Cheers to many more years of love and marriage! Lorah
I was part of the wedding party (MOH) at this venue and I was beyond impressed. Everything was so well organized and the team thought of EVERYTHING. Our bride's day was completely stress free in the teams hands and it took a load off her shoulders, and mine, knowing she didn't have to worry about a single thing. Their team really knows their stuff. From the timeline of the day, ceremony rehearsal, to what set up works best and even décor ideas and other ways to save money here and there. The catering staff, bar staff, florist, DJ were all recommendations from the venue and all exceeded our expectations. The venue itself is of course beautiful with so many different photo options and backdrops. 10/10 recommend this place!

My wife and I got married at 7 Vines on October 1st, 2022. As a groom, I couldn’t have asked for anything more from a venue. Lorah and her team made it so easy for my groomsmen and I! Admittedly, working with myself and my groomsmen is a lot like trying to herd cats or catch lightning in a bottle so the fact that Lorah and her team were able to work with us and still pull off an absolutely perfect day really speaks volumes to how wonderful they are. From initially deciding on the venue, all the way through clean up of our wedding night 7 Vines was there for us every step of the way, and we truly felt welcomed as if we were family. If you’re even considering this venue, let this be your deciding factor, I promise you will not be disappointed.

We got married at 7 Vines on 10-1-22 and it was the most perfect day! Lorah had met with us to plan out every detail in advance, so on the day of, Lorah and Katie made sure everything ran smoothly! As a bride, I knew I was probably going to be pulled in 100 different directions with 200 questions, but they never had to come to me with anything as it was so well planned! Lorah went above and beyond, from being flexible on our planning phone calls/meetings, to making sure we had THE BEST wine that would suit a variety of people! 7 Vines has a preferred list of vendors and every single vendor on there (from photography to DJ to catering to decorating) that we chose provided 5 star service! I've had numerous people tell me that we had the best run, most beautiful, and most fun wedding they've ever been to!

I just got married at 7 Vines on 10/2/22. I had an amazing day. 7 Vines is a spectacular place to have a wedding. The photo opportunities are out of this world. The venue and location are beautiful. Lorah and Katy absolutely exceeded all of my expectations. They take care of everything and made my wedding so special and memorable.

Thank you for your kind words. We enjoyed making your day perfect and memorable. It was all so beautiful. Cheers to many more years of love! Lorah
7 Vines is the most beautiful wedding venue both inside and outside, and makes for stunning photos. I may be a bit biased as my husband and I got married here 2 weeks ago, but it truly made for a breathtaking day and night. The team at 7 Vines went above and beyond in every aspect of wedding planning and made the wedding day go by so smoothly. While I was busy taking photos, Lorah and Katie made sure that all of my decorations and signage were set up exactly how I envisioned them. It was so comforting knowing that while I was busy taking care of bridal duties, the 7 Vines team was taking care of all of the behind the scenes details to make sure that my husband and I had the wedding of our dreams. We (and our guests) could not stop raving about the amazing job that the 7 Vines team did, and how much they cared about making us and our families feel like we are and will always be part of the 7 Vines family.
My wife and I got married at 7 Vines two weeks ago, and we couldn’t have asked for a better venue! It was a pleasure to work with the Lorah, Katie, and the entire 7 Vines staff, and they made sure our day went off without a hitch even when the weather didn’t fully cooperate. The venue is so beautiful, and the pictures in the vines turned out amazing. It even allowed for some truly unique moments like having our first dance out on the patio. We got tons of compliments from our guests on how perfect the whole night was. They also really enjoyed the ability to move between the dance floor and the quieter bar when they wanted to talk.
So wonderful and amazing! The crew helped us out so much with our wedding day and it couldn't have been more perfect! We even had a few different things we wanted to do and they accommodated us without hesitation. Amazing venue and crew!
I got married at 7 Vines at the end of July and I truly couldn't have asked for a better day. I actually want to cry thinking about it because they went above and beyond to make me and my wedding party feel SO special and comfortable! Everything was perfect and I had so many people come up to me during the reception to compliment the venue (which was absolutely beautiful and GLOWING on our July evening). Even the most organized person will miss details that Lorah and team do not! They think of EVERYTHING and will meet with you as much as you want to make sure you feel comfortable. I planned the wedding across the world but felt at ease during every step because Lorah and her team are such rockstars. I was blown away. Thank you so much 7 Vines for being such a special part of our lives, we can't wait to continue to visit!
I truly cannot say enough good things about not only the venue but the amazing staff at the 7 Vines! My sister got married here this past summer and it sincerely was the PERFECT venue! For starters, if you haven't been, you need to try the amazing wine! Second, the venue is stunning!!! You literally do not need any additional decorations for the dinner and reception inside (which is a great cost savings ;) ) because of how beautiful the venue is on its own. Not to mention how beautiful the area outside for the ceremony is out by the vineyard...it is absolutely stunning. I want to give a shout out to Lorah who was my sister's wedding contact. She is seriously the most knowledgable, friendly, and professional event director!! Many times after the wedding we would say "wow, Lorah was so right about this!" she truly knows absolutely everything and will help you plan the most amazing wedding. If I wasn't doing a destination wedding, I would 100% book this venue. I could go on for days at how perfect this venue is - take my word for it and get married here!!
The venue is so beautiful and the staff is so passionate about their work. The preferred vendor list offers some amazing options and all we’re super great to work with.
Overall the team is super helpful and provided a lot of support!! We were so happy to get married at such a special venue.
We had our wedding at 7 Vines in July of 2022 and it was beautiful! The staff at 7 Vines are so accommodating to every need we had - which was many! We worked mostly with Lorah and she was fantastic, welcoming and very detailed. Even after having surgery a few weeks before our wedding day, Lorah was there to execute our vision. She truly went above and beyond. Any concern we had while planning was answered with care and understanding. The day went by so smoothly, we really had nothing to worry about!
7 vines was absolutely gorgeous venue for our wedding day. We worked with Lorah and her team, and Lorah is very experienced and will make sure your day goes smoothly. We also had a month of coordinator we hired, who coordinated with Lorah to make sure our vision came true. Our guests were raving about how beautiful the venue was, which we used the pergola for both our American and Korean ceremony, bar area & outdoor seating area for our cocktail party, and the indoor dining area for our reception. When my husband forgot to bring his cuff links, the owner of the winery lent his nice cuff links to make sure our day goes smoothly. Everything was absolutely perfect! We can't wait to go back to 7 vines again to re-live our special day. Thank you 7 vines!
7 Vines is an absolute dream of a wedding venue! The entire process, from booking the venue to our wedding day, went so smoothly. Lorah and the rest of the 7 Vines team were so easy to work with and made our dreams come to life. The venue itself has a place for all guests: the separate bar area and outdoor spaces provide a place for people to step away if needed, while the reception area allows for people to dance their hearts out. We loved this venue and team so much!
7 Vines is truly a magical place. We did our wedding here in late April. Lorah and her team did an incredible job making us feel comfortable from the moment we approached them to inquire about pricing to the month leading up to the wedding to the rehearsal the night before and finally the big day. We never felt left in the dark about a single detail. The scenery is incredible with numerous places around the property to have stunning photos taken. We recommend 7 vines 1,000% for both a fun night out with friends or a place to say "I do". Thank you 7 Vines!! Photo's by Jordan Joseph Photography
We couldn't have asked for a better place to have our wedding. The reception was outside under a beautiful pergola, and the reception was walking distance inside. The reception had fabulous options for all of our guests: a separate bar area, the actual reception/dance area, and then a nice outdoor seating area. We heard a lot of positive feedback from our guests about how much they enjoyed the wedding and the space.
Lorah Palmer is on top of her game! She does a lot of work behind the scenes with the vendors to make sure everything goes smoothly. And on the day of the wedding, it all did! Looking back now, we are just so thankful for how well everything turned out and the amazing time we all had.
Our daughter's wedding at 7 Vines exceeded all our expectations. The venue is absolutely beautiful, both inside and out, but the best part is the exceptional care you receive from the event specialists. Pam is truly a wonder. She supported our planning so well that we never felt stressed or hurried. Many guests commented to us after the day how amazing the wedding was and how everything went so smoothly. Pam's behind the scenes organization and exceptional hospitality made our event that much more special.
As soon as we pulled into 7 Vines, we knew we had to get married here, no matter the cost. The venue is BEAUTIFUL. So beautiful that I didn’t need many decorations because it would have taken away from how gorgeous this place is. Lorah is the venue coordinator, and she has been nothing but amazing. She is super responsive to emails, and she has been able to answer every question we had. Any time I reached out, I knew I was a top priority. It’s very refreshing to work with someone who treats me as though I’m the only client they have, even though I know she has a lot of brides to work with. As we were working with Lorah to get things ready to go for our June 6, 2020 wedding, the coronavirus started ramping up. After a few weeks of the country starting to shelter in place and our RSVP numbers starting to dwindle, we made the decision to postpone our wedding. After crying for a day, we immediately reached out to Lorah to find out what days she had available in 2021. She let us know the two dates she had available, and we reached out to all our vendors to see if they were available on our new date. Thankfully they all were, and we secured our new date. We had rescheduled our wedding for 6/12/21, but because of the slow roll out of the vaccine at the beginning of the year and 80% of our guests coming from out of state, we decided to push it one last time. The first available date was November 6th, so we snatched it up. Working with Lorah continued to be a dream. She was so organized and was able to work with us to keep our costs down. I had heard so many stories of wedding venue coordinators being a nightmare to work with, especially during COVID, but Lorah was never that. Our wedding at 7 Vines would have been great without Lorah, but because of her expertise and attention to detail, it was INCREDIBLE! Some of our friends and family are jokesters, and that was apparent when we had our rehearsal. But Lorah kept us running smoothly and kept everyone in line so we weren’t taking forever. We hired Lorah and her team separately outside of 7VV to put out our decor that wasn’t through our linen company because we knew there would be no way we could do all of that so seamlessly the day of the wedding. And everything looked so beautiful! I had a vision, but she and her team brought it to life. It’s been two weeks since our wedding, and we’re still getting comments about how beautiful the venue is. Do yourself a favor and get married at 7 Vines. You won’t be disappointed!
The venue is absolutely amazing! We had our wedding in the fall and I can’t even begin with all the amazing colors that the winery had! We worked with Lorah and her team and they made sure the day went beautifully. They made sure all of ours as well as our guests needs were met and even provided outdoor heating on their patios for when it got a little chilly. Highly recommend!!!
We could not have asked for a better wedding venue! 7 Vines Vineyard assisted with planning, orchestrating and executing our wedding vision on August 13th, 2021. Lorah and Lynn were phenomenal. They both ensured the day ran smoothly and went above and beyond. I would 100% recommend this venue. Thank you 7 Vines for all that you do!
Look no further…7 Vines is your dream venue! I had both my ceremony and reception here on 10/10/2021 after postponing in 2020 due to the pandemic. 7 Vines is just a class act all around.
I knew the moment that I visited 7 Vines in the summer of 2018 with a friend to, “check out this winery that was built in our hometown!” that it was going to be my wedding venue. I remember telling my (now) husband that same day that if he was going to marry me, I wanted it to be there. He made me check out two other venues just to be sure, which I did, but they didn’t even hold a candle to what 7 Vines has. It is just this amazing place and easily the most gorgeous winery in MN. Everywhere you turn your head at 7 Vines, you just see beauty all around you. Especially if you get married here in the fall, when the leaves are changing colors and the weather is nice and cool.
Lorah Palmer, the Event Coordinator, has chosen the best of the best wedding vendors on her Preferred Vendors List. For my wedding, I chose the following:
- Riverside Hitmen live band: literally incredible . The best wedding band I have ever heard. They brought the house down and all of my guests were dancing the night away. Kyle Tennis the manager is very friendly and easy to correspond with.
- Elegance by Design Floral: the freshest, most gorgeous flowers and reasonably priced. My bouquet, the bridesmaid bouquets, and boutineers were stunning. Tara the florist listened to my requests for the flowers types and colors, and hit it out of the park!!
- Donatelli’s Catering: my guests raved about the food and the expediency in which they were served through the buffet line. Top-notch customer service.
- James Ramsay photography: James is so fun and easy-going while getting incredible photos and shots. You feel like you’re getting your picture taken by an old friend.
- Thirsty Whale Bakery: they made the tastiest, out-of-this-world gorgeous tiered geode wedding cake. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the cake: simply stunning. All the guests could not stop talking about it and how delicious it was, too!
The only area where 7 Vines may cause some difficulty is if you have a large bridal party and you all want to get completely ready on-site. The Bridal Suite, while lovely and functional, felt a little tight with myself, bridal attendant, 3 bridesmaids, and 2 flower girls in there at once. There also is not a Groom’s Suite. These two concerns are quite minor and do not detract from how amazing 7 Vines is, however I just thought I should mention it as a heads-up.
In summation: I would not have chosen any other venue in Minnesota to have my wedding at. 7 Vines Vineyard is nestled on an incredible
tract of land with rows of lush vines, has a beautiful pond, and is surrounded by huge mature trees. The winery itself was modeled off the wineries of Napa Valley and is just gorgeous. The staff at the winery are all best in class and will make sure you have the wedding of your dreams.
7 Vines Vineyard was outstanding for our daughter's recent wedding! All of our guests loved the venue and said it was the perfect place to hold a wedding. I loved how clean and sparkling everything was. We couldn't be more pleased with the venue and the staff. Lorah Palmer, the event coordinator, was so easy to work with and willing to accommodate any of our on-the-spot requests. She was very warm and welcoming to all of our guests.
The Bride wanted live music for the pergola ceremony. I knew Sandy Atlas from a previous 40th Reunion I'd planned. He played the keyboard and his friend, Lynn, played the violin. Their music was lovely and kicked the wedding off on a very musical note. (www.sandyatlas.com)
Lorah Palmer has vetted an outstanding list of vendors. We chose the following:
Elegance by Design Flowers - The flowers were exceptional. Everyone commented on the colors and the beauty of the bridal party flowers and centerpieces. Tara Nelson far exceeded our expectations. I felt that we got an amazing value for our money. Not a single flower, vine or stem was wilted. All of the flowers were very fresh and vibrant and they remained lovely all day and evening long.
Donatelli's Catering - was amazing in both the quality of their food and their service. Donatelli's wedding menu seemed to be their top-of-the line offerings. We had lots of wonderful comments about their food (mostaccioli with meat sauce, cajun chicken tortellini alfredo, antipasta salad, roasted vegetables and garlic bread) and exceptional service. The table cloths, tableware, etc. were first rate and professionally presented. Their servers were very friendly and efficient. They are a well-organized catering service.
The Thirsty Whale Bakery blew our cake expectations out of the water. The Bride gave them a photo of a geode cake. TW's geode cake replica was simply stunning. I saw lots of photos being taken of that cake. Several guests commented that it was the best wedding cake they'd ever seen. It was truly a confectionery work of art.
The Hitmen Band was really spectacular. They played the best all-genre music all night long. Guests asked me how we'd found this band. I told them they were the only band listed on Lorah Palmer's vendor list. At the end of the night, they played Prince's "Purple Rain." Kyle played the best guitar solo I've ever heard. I closed my eyes and thought it was Prince. It was out-of-this-world. I'm glad we decided to hire them, with the horns, because our guests enjoyed their music very much and stayed late to dance.
James Ramsay started his day around 11 am to shoot photos of the Bride getting ready at the Best Western in WBL and I still saw him taking photos around 8 pm. He's definitely a photographer who is dedicated to his art. We really enjoyed his relaxed and very friendly personality.
John Walter, the videographer, was serious about his task of capturing everything on video. The Bride and Groom saw drone video of the two of them walking through the vineyard rows and they said his drone shots were simply amazing. I can't wait to see the finished video.
Complete Beverage Service - Bartenders, Lena and Brian, were lots of fun, very personable, and efficient. They said we made their job easy by providing a printed bar menu for each guest. It really sped up the line and kept it moving smoothly all night long. Melissa, their coordinator, was very easy to work with to set up our liquor order.
We got married this last July at 7 vines after a reschedule due to COVID. We worked with Pam and both Pam and Lorah made sure our day woked flawlessly! There were many meetings and zoom calls beforehand to make sure everything was up to date and how we wanted it. We appreciated having Pam there as a person of contact and setup for our vendors so we didn't even have to think about it.
We got SO many compliments on the venue, it really is a beautiful place to get married. It was a smooth transition from outside to the reception and there was enough space for no one to feel crowded. We had a great experience and couldn't beat this beautiful venue!
We share our thoughts as parents of the groom. 7 Vines Vineyard is a gorgeous venue with all the bells and whistles. It begins with the staff, led by Lorah Palmer, who has a deep appreciation for hospitality. You quickly realize that every detail, no matter how big or small, is taken into consideration in an attempt to turn the couples dream into a reality. The approved vendors are experienced and all very good at what they do. The grounds are gorgeous, the wine bar and wine are wonderful and the reception room is a spectacular backdrop of windows overlooking the vineyard. We were pleased with how smoothly everything went and being that we had to postpone the wedding and wait another year for this special day….it was well worth the wait!
We received many compliments about how elegant and beautiful the wedding was. We are extremely grateful to the entire 7 Vines team for making the wedding something we will be talking about for years to come! The day was perfect and many treasured memories were made. We highly recommend 7 Vines Vineyard for anyone looking for an incredible wedding adventure!

We had a truly amazing wedding day and experience at 7 Vines. My husband and I live in Sweden but I'm from Minnesota originally, and 7 Vines worked seamlessly with my mom in MN and us in Sweden to make the whole thing come together. When we finally saw the venue 1 week before our wedding we found it even more beautiful than the pictures on the website. Standing across from my husband sharing my vows in the pergola, I felt like we were in a romantic vineyard in Tuscany! The outdoor area is spectacular and allowed all our guests to spread out during the social hour and sit by the outdoor fire in the evening. The indoor area is equally beautiful and spacious (we had 85 guests) and 7 Vines recommended a great florist (Laurie at Flore Inspired) who made the space just gorgeous with her arrangements. We also appreciated that there is a private downstairs area where we were able to get ready in peace and quiet, and share champagne and appetizers in secret after the ceremony. This place truly has it all! The staff at 7 Vines (we mostly worked with Pam) were truly a pleasure to work with. They were extremely organized, friendly, and made us feel at ease every step of the way. We couldn't have asked for a better venue and staff to make our wedding day dreams come true - an amazing venue that we would recommend to anyone!
We had our wedding at 7 Vines Vineyard in September and it was outstanding! Lynn and Lorah were so helpful, fun and informative it made the day seamless and stress free. I would 100% recommend this venue for all kinds of events especially weddings. I have nothing but good things to say and we have made many special memories here!
As mother of the bride, I can say 7vines is the perfect venue for your wedding. The outdoor space is gorgeous . The reception area has natural lighting and the outdoor space has seating and an outdoor fireplace which was well utilized by our guests. The staff were great to work with and Lorah kept everything coordinated. My daughter and her husband had the wedding of their dreams!
The compliments we received for hosting our wedding at 7Vines were endless. From the amazing architecture, to the gorgeous grounds, to the excellent service-everything was incredible. Lorah was amazing to work with. She was there for our every need and was able to accommodate all of our preferences. The flow of the day was effortless and made it a relaxed and stress-free day for all! Our wedding was unforgettable and we are so happy we chose 7 Vines Vineyard for our Venue!
7 Vines Vineyard was the most perfect place for our wedding! We were so happy with how smoothly everything went and would do it all over again in a heartbeat! The 7 Vines Vineyard staff were amazing and ensured that everything was going as planned. I highly recommend this beautiful wedding venue and just a great place to visit!
7 Vines Vineyard is the perfect wedding venue, whether it is winter, spring, summer or fall. The venue is beautiful inside and out, and has just enough space to make your wedding intimate but Spacious enough to spread out. It is not so big that your wedding feels like it is spread out in five separate buildings where guests can’t find each other, The support team led by Lorah is outstanding and they truly want to make sure your day is memorable and worry-free, from the tiny details to the big picture. Most of all I appreciated their “can do” attitude.
Our daughter just got married at 7 Vines Vineyard and let me tell you, if you are looking for a fabulous place to have a wedding, this is the place! The vineyard is absolutely beautiful and spacious, so you can enjoy all of the festivities all in one place. What made it nice, also, is that we planned on the wedding to be outside, and they have a big, covered pergola that will seat around 200 people, so weather is not an issue. But If the weather does get really bad, then everything can be held inside, so need for last minute panic. Lorah Palmer, the event coordinator, is the best. She took care of all of our needs and was always very timely in answering our questions when we reached out to her via phone, text or email. She covered all of the bases so on the day of the wedding, everything was taken care of and ready to go. She was more than willing to accommodate us in all that we asked and was very flexible. In addition, the wine was fabulous! This place is the place to go if you want an elegant, beautiful venue for a wedding. Forget anywhere else in which you might think you want to go, for 7 Vines Vineyard is without a doubt, the BEST!
7 Vines Vineyard was the perfect location for our daughter's wedding in Sept. 2021. We originally planned a May 2020 celebration but rescheduled twice which could have been terribly stressful but the 7 Vines team accommodated us beautifully.
The wedding was absolute perfection! The venue looked gorgeous and the day moved so smoothly due to the excellent planning and professionalism of the staff, particularly Pam our event coordinator. We are grateful to the entire team for making the day beautiful and would highly recommend this venue.
Magical!!!!!! That is the first word that comes to mind to describe our wedding day at 7 Vines. After having to postpone last year due to Covid, Lorah went above and beyond to make sure we had the very best of everything to make our wedding day a dream come true! The venue itself is breathtakingly beautiful! Add Lake Elmo Inn as your caterer and Flore Inspired as your florist and you will have a wedding your guests will be talking about for years to come! Thank you Lorah and 7 Vines Vineyard!! I’m still on cloud 9.
From the first time we went to the venue to see if it was the one, we immediately fell in love. From day 1, Lorah and the 7 Vines team have been nothing but AMAZING. From picking the venders, to all the little things in between, Lorah made the process so easy and enjoyable with her knowledge and recommendations. 7 Vines will always be a special place to us - we will always recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married within the Twin Cities area. Thank you 7 Vines!!
We were so impressed with 7VV! Our experience is unique in that our daughter lives in Stockholm, Sweden and her original venue/wedding was scheduled in Stockholm for June 13, 2020.
Pandemic hits, venue closed, borders closed, parents cannot make it and panic sets in.
The couple did get married with immediate family on groom's side on June 13, 2020 with plans of having the wedding reception in Minnesota the following summer, 2021.
As you would expect, we as parents had to pick a venue with the married couple's ideas of what their perfect wedding/celebration day would look like. One of the main criteria was to have a rustic venue. We toured some and when we got to 7VV, I knew this was the one. All I can say is I felt a sense of calmness stepping out of the car and knew this is what we needed.
Pam brought so much calmness that we needed during the planning process. We met with vendors through zoom. We were so grateful for the recommendations that Pam gave us. We worked with Laurie LeClair, the florist and she was so accommodating with the wedding couple and us. We worked with Lisa at Stonehouse Catering and she went the extra mile.
She researched and had Adam make a Swedish appetizer and helped us out for a rehearsal dinner venue too!
The planning that was coached for us along the way paid off and the day was beautiful!
So many guests asked, "How did you find this place?"
What better testament could you ask for as a venue operator.
Thank you to the 7VV team! WELL DONE!!
7 vines and Lorah are the best. First, I want to call out that they handled the pandemic well and were flexible with those that had 2020 wedding dates. While initially I booked somewhere else for 2020, that venue was less than flexible and didn’t honor the terms of their contract. 7 vines to the rescue. I was able to plan a small ceremony on my wedding date outdoors with immediate family. I’m addition, I was able to plan a vow renewal and reception in 2021. The venue itself is beautiful and while the pandemic and the first venue definitely were stressful, it ultimately worked out as the venue was 100 times better than the previous venue we had booked. Lorah is exceptional at what she does and our vendors were flexible to change dates. 8/28/21 was a perfect day and that is because of 7 vines, Lorah the event coordinator, Donatellis, complete beverage service, Nicole Fae, Elegance by Design floral, and RKH images. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate my wedding.
7 Vines is simply THE BEST! My husband and I were supposed to get married at 7 Vines in 2020 but had to push our day back a year due to Covid. Working with Pam throughout the entire process made everything so much easier during such a difficult time!
We had both our ceremony and reception at 7 Vines and everything was stunning. Pam was seriously incredible to work with and made us feel so special and cared for on our actual day but also in the two years leading up to our wedding! Their preferred vendors are fabulous and we would not change a thing about how amazing our wedding day turned out to be. If you are considering 7 Vines for your wedding, you will not regret it!
We had an amazing experience at 7 vines. The venue itself is gorgeous! The vendors we used from their recommended list were on time and provided exactly what we expected. We used Laurie LeClaire from Flore inspired. She did an phenomenal job! Deco did an amazing job with our catering, all of our guests commented how good the food was. And Pam from 7 vines was there the entire day keeping things running smoothly! She even packaged up some cupcakes of every flavor for us to take home as a late night snack (of course we were too busy the night of to eat dessert ). I would definitely recommend 7 vines!
If you want that one of a kind event your daughter has dreamed about since she was a little girl ..... look no further, this is the place. We felt like we had been taken back in time and were in a Hallmark movie!
The moment we walked in to 7 Vines Vineyard, we knew we had found our perfect venue for our daughter's wedding.
Planning was a breeze, Lorah and her staff made things easy and literally no worries that things were going to come together. We did use her excellent selected vendors of Brian, Michele, Noah, Keys Cafe, Complete Beverage, and a couple of our preferred vendors of Tara at Sweet Pea Floral and Janelle Elise Photography.
Lorah was a very good listener of our wants/needs. Even if she had a different idea, she listened and honored our daughter's wishes of a different vendor or for how the evening would go. Thank you, Lorah for everything you did!
Day of the wedding. Zero stress, you just knew; again, Lorah and her staff had it covered. Shout out to Lynn as well, she was amazing.
A great time was had by all from start to finish. Memories of a lifetime were made at 7 Vines Vineyard on July 10, 2021. Thank YOU 7 Vines Vineyards for sharing your location with us to make our families memories and dreams come true.
They were very accommodating and super hands on both prior to and during the event. They were also flexible throughout the reception and helped make the day flow smoothly for myself and my wife. Could not recommend enough.
