We are so happy we chose Abella for our wedding venue. From start to finish, the entire experience was truly wonderful. Megan and Blaine were incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating from our very first tour. They answered my dozens of emails quickly and with so much patience, and their support throughout the planning process meant so much to us. They even surprised us with sweet gifts along the way, which made everything feel even more personal and special.
On our wedding day, the staff went above and beyond. The owners, managers, security team, and bartenders were all professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in making the day seamless. Everything ran smoothly, and we felt cared for the entire day.
Abella is not only a beautiful venue — it’s run by people who truly love what they do. We are so grateful for the entire team and couldn’t imagine our day anywhere else. Highly, highly recommend Abella!

Nothing but great things to say about Abella & their staff! From the very beginning, they were very prompt in responding to my inquiry on the Knot to set up a tour, which I appreciated. When we toured, we instantly knew that this was place we wanted to get married! We chose a mid-fall wedding date of October 24th, and it was absolutely stunning!! From sunrise to sunset, we had the best views at Abella. There isn’t one bad place on that venue - all areas are gorgeous so it made my photographers job VERY easy! Our guests (all 285 of them) had nothing but great things to say to us during and after our wedding about the venue — the various locations we could be on the property was a huge game changer!
The Abella staff was also so great to work with. This was obviously my first time planning a wedding, so I really had no idea what I was doing. They, along with my other vendors, made it INCREDIBLY easy to allow me to find my feet during this planning process. Thank you to everyone at the Abella staff that helped along the way! Megan, Blaine, Jordan, Gina, our amazing bartenders, and all the other behind the scenes staff…thank you!!

This venue was so amazing! The grounds are beautiful and are perfect for customizing to whatever your theme is. They have lots of rental items available for reasonable prices, which was really convenient. We hired Megan to be our day-of coordinator, and this was the best decision! She is so organized, kind, and truly invested in your wedding day. She offered up multiple planning meetings to help us feel comfortable and prepared, made sure our vendors knew what was going on, had great recommendations, and was always quick to respond via email. She and her staff ensured the day-of went so smoothly - even if something went wrong, we sure didn't notice it. We cannot thank them enough for making our day everything we hoped it would be and more!

From the moment we first reached out to Abella, we were impressed by their friendly, prompt and helpful communication style. Once we visited, we knew we needed to get married there! The owners are an amazing, family-oriented team who worked closely with us to ensure our wedding day was nothing short of perfect. Megan was an AMAZING add-on as our day-of-coordinator and with Jordan managing the bar, it made things so easy!
Abella's attention to detail and frequent touch bases throughout the planning process were invaluable, and their beautiful, timeless event space provided the ideal backdrop for our special day. The quality of Abella's work and the incredible value they provided made them a standout choice, and we would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a truly memorable wedding experience.

Our entire experience with Abella was nothing short of amazing! We truly don’t have a single negative thing to say. Megan was such a pleasure to work with—always quick to respond to my many emails and questions, and she made the planning process feel seamless. Jordan with Abella Bar was equally wonderful; he made sure the bar was fully stocked with everything we wanted and took such great care of us throughout the night, making sure our glasses and hands were never empty. The staff as a whole went above and beyond, and the venue itself was absolutely stunning. Abella was everything we dreamed of for our wedding day and more—we would choose it a thousand times over.

We had a wonderful experience with Abella. They were communicative throughout the entire planning process and answered all of our questions. Everyone was so friendly during set up. We did have a mishap where the outdoor space didn’t have enough chairs and they got that fixed right away. They also dried all the water off the chairs for us (it rained before the ceremony). The spaces are beautiful and were kept clean. You can definitely tell they are professionals with how smoothly our day turned out.

After touring many venues across Minnesota, we were absolutely blown away by Abella! Being able to use the entire venue was such a treat — every space is beautifully designed and thoughtfully maintained. One of our non-negotiables was choosing our own caterer, and Abella made that possible, which we really appreciated.
We also opted for Abella’s bar service, and Jordan and Landon were so fun and easy to work with. Megan and Blaine were incredibly responsive throughout the entire process, always happy to answer our many questions.
Our ceremony took place outdoors in the Willows. It had rained the day before, but we loved the atmosphere so much that we made the bold choice to keep it outside. The ground was a little wet where the chairs were originally set, and the Abella team went above and beyond by shifting everything slightly to accommodate us.
Guests couldn’t stop raving about the venue — many said it was the most beautiful one they’ve ever been to, especially loving the Historic Barn and Reception Hall for photos. We’re so glad we chose Abella and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a stunning, flexible, and supportive venue for their big day!

We absolutely LOVED how our wedding day turned out! Originally we were supposed to have our wedding at another venue that all of a sudden closed. Immediately panicked and overwhelmed as we had all of our vendors booked and paid with our wedding only a couple months away. The owners at Abella replied a schedule tour request instantly. At the meeting, they were so welcoming and the place was GORGEOUS! They were so kind in letting us use all the vendors we had already booked and help build our day into the best day we could’ve had. With every bump in the road that we ran into, the owners had easy solutions and made it possible to marry my best friend. We couldn’t ask for a better place and team to work with on such a wonderful weekend. We are so thankful for everything they have done. It was seriously the best day of lives!

You GUYS! I could write a near novel about how much Abella deserves a million and one stars. 5 just doesn't do justice - I've had my eye on Abella before I was even engaged. We toured it and immediately booked - we were in love with the venue from start to finish and are immensely glad we chose Abella to be part of our story.
We originally booked under other ownership, but Megan and Blaine purchasing the venue was a downright blessing. They are hands down the most communicative and the best hype-team you could hope for. We felt so reassured with everything leading up to wedding day and then some. There were plenty of open house opportunities and they were willing to accommodate if we couldn't make an open house and needed to quick pop out there to see something. They come with years of wedding industry experience and you will be in more than great hands if you book Abella.
We ran our rehearsal on-site at the venue and Megan was absolutely amazing at corralling our bunch and making the process smooth. Wedding Day was EVERYTHING and more. Abella is so versatile to have getting ready suites just steps from one another, but still good at keeping the bride and groom separate. Ample light and space. Also, so many choices for ceremony space! We decided to have our ceremony and reception in the same space - the room flip went quickly and turned out amazing. My now husband and I decided to use the doors at the Willows for our first look at personal vows and we are just so glad we did. It was perfect.
I was honestly a little nervous with how "plain" the venue hall seemed a couple months after booking (just bride jitters), but was absolutely gobsmacked with how incredible Megan, our day of coordinator, and the team made the space look. I still cry thinking about how incredible it all looked. I (of course) worried for nothing.
Abella and the team made the best day of our lives truly the best. I could not have imagined kicking off married life anywhere else. I hope if you are reading this review that you are considering Abella as well - please trust me that you will not be disappointed and you will thank yourself over and over and over. Megan and Blaine will take the best care of you. 10000000000/10 stars. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

We had the most incredible experience at Abella for our wedding! From the moment we first visited, we knew it was the perfect venue for us. The location is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking spaces for both the ceremony and reception.
After we booked, Abella went through an ownership change, which initially made us a bit nervous. However, Megan and Blaine, the new owners, were fantastic from start to finish. Along with Ally, the director of events, they communicated clearly and consistently throughout the entire process. They were incredibly responsive, accommodating, and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was exactly as we envisioned. They’ve already made thoughtful improvements to the venue, and it’s clear they are continuing to make Abella even better. We are beyond grateful for their role in making our wedding day the best day of our lives.
We were lucky to have perfect weather, which allowed us to fully enjoy both the beautiful outdoor spaces and the elegant indoor areas. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how stunning the venue was! If you’re looking for a gorgeous venue backed by an amazing team, I cannot recommend Abella enough. They truly made our wedding day unforgettable!

We loved Abella! Megan and Ally were so helpful and quick in communication. They made the day so much easier.

When we got engaged, I was at Abella 72 hours later, I have been following this venue for a while & instantly knew it was the one for us!
The venue provides beautiful, intimate and breathtaking views, the cottages provides a comfortable & relaxing wedding morning. Our guests enjoyed cocktail hour in the barn & in the courtyard. The reception hall was STUNNING, its provides the romantic and timeless setting.
The fields, willows, barn and French country hall give you so many options for breathtaking photos.
Ally, Megan and Blaine provided top quality coordinaton for us to making our wedding day a dream. There communication and attention to detail is unmatched & created a stress free day.
This venue, this team, is truly, what every couple needs, we are so so thankful! 🤍

We had an amazing experience at Abella. Originally we booked with different owners, but since Megan and Blaine took over, we had nothing but positive experiences.
Allie was our main contact throughout the planning process and she was a joy to deal with, kind and easy to chat with for any of our needs.
On the day of our wedding, Megan and Blaine were there to help. They were so kind, flexible, and helpful throughout the whole day. They made my day so seamless.
The venue itself is stunning, I had the chance at getting married at the willows which is just a fairytale with the trees, and big door for the entry for the bridal party.
The main hall is beautiful and one thing we liked was the amount of room for guests to be able to utilize throughout the evening, sitting out in the patio, or the barn during cocktail hour, or just hanging in the reception hall where the dancing was.
It was a perfect day, and honestly sad it’s done! We would choose Abella again and again.

We had our dream wedding at Abella and it was such a wonderful experience! There are so many reasons why we loved Abella. Firstly, we adored that everything was in one convenient location, making it easy for us and our bridal party. The flexibility to choose different locations around the property for our ceremony was very cool and fun. We ultimately decided on the French Country Hall for both our ceremony and reception, and it was perfect and stunning. The transition between the ceremony and reception was seamless, allowing us and our guests to enjoy cocktail hour on the patio and in the historic barn. The property itself is absolutely stunning, especially during sunset. Our guests loved the French Country Hall and the ability to walk and hangout outside. The Abella staff was incredibly helpful and made the planning process stress-free. Thank you, Abella, for helping to make our special day unforgettable!

Our June 2024 wedding at Abella was simply a dream come true!! Every aspect was better than we ever could have imagined: the stunning French Country Hall, the beautiful grounds for photos, the equally beautiful indoor and outdoor ceremony spaces, and I can’t say enough good things about Ally, our day-of coordinator!!
We signed up for Abella’s day-of coordinator package, and Ally was THE BEST! She was so helpful and kind throughout the planning process and responded to my many emails and questions and never made me feel like any question was too small or like I was a bother. She made sure we were on track throughout the planning process and helped us know what we still needed to do.
The day of our wedding, Ally and her assistant handled all of the set up and tear down, coordination with vendors and more, allowing us and our families to truly enjoy the day! The day went off without a hitch, and if there was a hitch, I didn’t even know about it because Ally handled it :) She is the reason we were able to relax and simply enjoy the best day of our lives!!
Most of our communication was through Ally, but all of our interactions with the owners of Abella, Megan and Blaine, were lovely as well! We used Abella’s bar service, and it was top notch!! Thank you to the entire Abella team for hosting our perfect day 🤍

We had our wedding at Abella in May of 2024 and it turned out amazing! The staff was extremely helpful, accommodating, and made our day special. All of our guests complimented the beautiful Historic Barn and fun Courtyard area- we were so happy with our venue choice. We even did a room flip during cocktail hour (which I was nervous about not taking too long), and the Abella staff made everything go seamlessly. They also had an AMAZING guide for their couples to use with sooo much helpful info in it (dimensions of the grounds layout, specifics to pass on to your vendors, a rental item guide, etc.) I would highly recommend this venue for anyone looking to get married!

We have gotten so many comments on how stunning the venue was and how well the day went. Many of our guests have reached out to tell my husband and me how polite Ally and the Abella staff were and how well they blended into the atmosphere of the event.
We booked Abella for a May 2024 wedding back in February of 2023. Partway through our wedding planning, the venue changed ownership, which made us nervous and caused some complications with our bar service. However, the new owners, Megan and Blaine, did their absolute best to make the ownership change as seamless as possible and offered their help with finding and securing a new bar service. They have made exciting changes to the small things that Abella offers as included and optional extras. Megan and Blaine are very responsive and personable and have a genuine passion for the wedding industry.
Ally on the Abella team was our day-of coordinator, and she is AMAZING!! Ally was always very responsive any time I sent an email with a bunch of questions or shifted around timeline events. When it came to my wedding day, she took over coordination with all our vendors, and I was able to get ready and enjoy the day without any worry. She executed my decor vision perfectly.

Got married 4/2024 and had the most flexible, above and beyond, and patient service from Abella Weddings + Events. They were quick to answer any and all of my questions, no matter what time of day it was, which was so helpful while wedding planning. They also stayed on top of communication and wedding day details and made for the smoothest wedding day. I’ll definitely be recommending to future brides and raving about it whenever my wedding gets brought up.

My husband and I got married here this summer and had the best experience with Abella! From the initial tour, to all of the questions I had through the planning process, to the wedding day, Abella was so helpful and made our wedding experience incredible! Being able to choose our own vendors allowed us to create a wedding that represented us and what we wanted. Abella was very helpful in giving us recommendations for vendors and honest feed back about who they had worked with in the past. Ally is an incredible resource and made sure our experience was nothing but perfect. We loved the bridal and groom getting ready suite and it was nice to be on site the whole day and not have to worry about transportation. The willows was a perfect ceremony location and everything we were looking for.

Our daughter and son-in-law were married this fall at Abella. I highly recommend! The venue is stunning. The separate spaces offered - for the ceremony and reception as well as the Granary and the Bridal Suite - were key factors in choosing Abella over other venues. It meant a lot to us that the owners of Abella were present throughout the day. And I can't say enough about Ally and her assistant. They were on top of every detail. Over these past months of planning for this event, Ally was so helpful and responsive to all my questions. I was impressed with her poise and her expertise and professionalism. During the rehearsal on Friday and all day on Saturday - Ally was running the show behind the scenes and attending to our every need.

We had 300 guests to our wedding and reception at Abella in August! It was beautiful! We had some special requests like ice sculptures, cigar bar, and violinist which was no problem for the space or the planner! The facilities are amazing, trolley charming, and the team works to make our vision happen! Definitely a stunning venue. They also had great communication with all of our vendors which made everything easy!

We are SO happy we chose Abella for our wedding!! We got married May 21, 2023 and we loved everything about this venue. I could really go on and on but Abella made our day perfect. Part of the reason I love our wedding pictures so much is that the space was just perfect for us. Ally is super wonderful to communicate with and answer questions. The staff day of was super helpful to accommodate what our vision was. The girls on the golf cart were sweet and helped us execute the "no first look" until the isle even with the outdoor ceremony. Abella will make everything easy for you. Ex: We ran into some MN liquor license confusion and they did some major heavy lifting in figuring it out so we could book the right vendor!! the little important things. Excellency across the board. I definitely recommend.

Abella is an absolute gem of a property. It offers so much in an elegant package. The Willows ceremony site is whimsical, the bride’s area is very accommodating, the barn gives a rustic backdrop, and the French Country Hall brings a modern amenity in a form that still highlights the farm feel and natural beauty all around.
Additionally, no vendor fees or limitations means there is no pressure to feel boxed in on who you choose to help host your event.
Ally is also does an amazing job answering questions and coordinating the event. She is so valuable to the venue and overall experience.

Our wedding at Abella was absolutely beautiful. The staff, specifically Ally, was great to work with. They even let my mom and grandma do a special tour of the site before the wedding day. The venue is amazing and there are so many places for great pictures. We had so many compliments from our guests.

The site is absolutely gorgeous, there is no doubt about that. There are so many spots for beautiful photos from the outdoor ceremony location (The Willows) to next to the reception space (French Country Hall) and all the wild grass areas in between. We had so many compliments on the venue from guests. We worked with Ally through most of the planning stages and she was awesome - super helpful and always available to answer questions. We also had Morgan there the day of (we had our own Day of Coordinator) but she was super sweet and available if we needed anything throughout the day.
There were a few downsides, however. My set up crew (who were family and friends) mentioned a not-so great interaction with Terri, the owner, day-of. They said that she was pretty rude to them and just super snippy in her remarks, and just not a pleasant person to talk to when asking questions. I get that everyone has their off days, but that was pretty disappointing to hear. Additionally, the venue has a ton of rules tacked on. One being that you have to be out of the bridal/groom's suites before the ceremony starts. This was super inconvenient and just added a lot of unnecessary stress to the day, trying to make sure everything was prepared and cleaned before I had to walk down the aisle. Luckily, Morgan and Ally were incredibly helpful and let my nursing family members into the bridal suite as needed. The site doesn't open until 10am due to having to have the set up crews there in the morning, which is fine, but it's an extra $200 an hour if you want early access.. which just felt silly to me. Considering the venue offers nothing aside from a beautiful location (without having to pay an arm and a leg more to rent), I felt like this was such a ridiculous extra cost, especially since we had to be out of the suites by the ceremony time.
All in all, it was a beautiful location and looked beautiful in pictures but I definitely feel that some changes could have been made to make the day easier.

Erin, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your review. We are so glad that you ...
and your family/friends had an amazing day! Abella is recently under new ownership since your wedding (by a husband and wife team with 15+ years of experience in the wedding industry). We are currently revamping some of our policies to be more flexible for our couples and this feedback is greatly appreciated. Our goal is to provide every client with a 5 star experience. Thank you for choosing Abella and we wish you all the very best!

The moment my (now) husband and I met Kenzie to tour Abella, we fell in love with both immediately! The venue is absolutely breathtaking- every single time we visited it was instant goosebumps and butterflies; it was the perfect place for us to get married as it fits both of our personalities perfectly. Kenzie was wonderful through the whole planning process, not only was she our Day of Coordinator but she also created a specialty wedding planning package for us to walk us through the parts we were unsure of navigating on our own. She completely understood our vision, handled my specific requests and attention to detail with such respect and grace, and helped to make us excited when we hit bouts of anxiety that come along with the planning process. The vision I had was brought to life because of her and we truly had the day of our dreams because she took the time and care in facilitating everything. We had a big wedding party with lots of moving parts and she wrangled everyone together to keep things on track and orderly while we all still had fun. Hands down the best venue and the best staff, I wish we could repeat last Friday over and over again. By far the happiest, dreamiest day of our lives and we owe eternal thanks to Abella, Kenzie, Teri, and the rest of the wonderful staff!

My husband and I could not have asked for a better venue and team to make our wedding dreams come true!!! We did go with the day-of-coordinator package, and WOW was it worth it. Kenzie and her team did everything and more to make sure our day went smoothly. As the bride, I simply got to enjoy my day and soak it all in, knowing that Kenzie was taking care of every detail, questions, concerns, and even handling our guests was such a relief. Abella is an exceptional venue with an even better team behind it. Book as soon as you can!!

WOW!! My husband and I are so incredibly happy that we chose Abella for our special day. They were accommodating and made our whole wedding planning process simple! They were there to answer any questions we had and help sort out the details! Kenzie, Abella’s day of coordinator was INCREDIBLE! She took on all our days details and made sure that my vision was met! Our day wouldn’t have ran as smoothly as it did without Kenzie. Kenzie was flexible, professional and it felt like she truly cared about us and ensured our day was nothing but a fairy tale! Thank you Abella!!!

Everyone loved the venue, and couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful it was.
Great working with Kenzie for all the details and making things perfect. She got married there herself and has great knowledge. Her and Teri the owner understand we are all human and as long as you work well with them and take responsibility they will do the same for you. She is very attentive the day of and makes sure everything is as it should and will call out anything that is an issue.
The venue allows you to hire any vendor of your choice (with final approval from them) and are very open and honest about any experiences good or bad they have had with vendors of interest.
This is very helpful when it comes to being budget friendly.
However, linens and majority of decorations and other necessary items that can/are needed for the day are not included- they have to be rented. This can get pretty spendy.
We did rent a second bar, one inside and outside which was great to be able to keep lines short.
We did rent their cornhole boards so we didn’t have to haul our own.. except for the set we used as our guestbook.
My biggest tip… make sure to end the party a little earlier than you think. We ended at 11:30- and although all our cleaning was already done, it was a struggle to be off the property at 12:00 sharp.
Clean out the bridal/groom suite earlier than you think too. Otherwise you are trying to get people set for photos and clean at the same time.
Overall! An absolute amazing day, with the smallest of hiccups that I barely even knew happened.

This was hands down the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen! The trees and the rustic feel was absolutely gorgeous. They were very accommodating of the guests that were physically challenged.

We are so happy we picked Abella for our wedding venue. From the beautiful venue, the awesome getting ready areas, and the amazing staff, our wedding day was everything we had wanted and more. The owner, Teri was great to work with and very responsive with the questions we had. Abella also had great recommendations for vendors for us. Kenzie the Day of Coordinator was unbelievable, I cannot thank her enough or speak more highly of her. She really knows her stuff and knows how to make your day the best it can be. She has such great recommendations, is very organized, and really made our entire day run smoothly. I was so surprised how little I had to worry about on the wedding day, which is thanks to Kenzie. If you are considering whether to hire the Day of Coordinator at Abella or not, I would highly recommend hiring Kenzie, it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. We were so happy with the venue and am very glad we chose it for our special day.

Our daughter recently was married at Abella! Fantastic venue! Highly recommend. The venue is stunning, the staff is very helpful, they communicate well, and they are so efficient on the day of the wedding! You are able to decide which vendors you would like - catering, flowers, cake, liquor, etc. we heard from our vendors that they love to work with Abella too. As a mother of the bride it was so nice to just enjoy the day knowing the Abella staff is handling everything else!

This venue is everything you could dream of and more. I can’t say enough good things about it and I would 1000% recommend working with Kenzie! They were very friendly and approachable, had a variety of options of reception and ceremony spaces, rental items, and overall and very elegant and timeless look and feel. The grounds and buildings are beyond beautiful and created a get space for our photos. Seriously, I recommend this venue and planning service to everyone! 10/10

Abella is such an amazing venue. It has everything you could want or need in a “one-stop-shop.” It allowed for our wedding to be the perfect blend of class and country. Kenzie and Teri are amazing to work with and are so helpful. They are willing to answer any of your questions. I would highly recommend them for your wedding venue!

Abella is such a stunning property! Everything is so well kept and they have truly thought of everything! Having multiple buildings gives you such a peace of mind knowing no matter what the weather, you will have a beautiful day! As a groom, the getting ready granary was such a fun space to enjoy the morning with the guys. The pricing is all inclusive and there are no hidden surprises!

Everything about a Abella is a must! The reason my husband and I chose Abella was for its clear, no secret or hidden costs approach. There are a lot of venues in Minnestoa that will hide costs from you, but with Abella we understood from prior to a tour what we would be paying and we were never surprised thereafter. Terri is the best owner, who genuinely wants you to have the most beautiful day at her venue. This is made true by the amazing staff they have cultivated in Kenzie and Ali who made our wedding day smoother and better than I could have imagined. I cannot thank them enough for replying to every single one of my detailed questions and taking my vision to the next level! The day of coordination and timeline add on was the best thing I have ever paid for, so please please do yourself a favor if you choose Abella and pay for the coordinator services- you will never regret it! To all the staff at Abella who helped to make our wedding perfect, thank you!

If you are looking for a venue with a beautiful, white, clean blank slate Abella is 100% your venue! Not only is their reception hall a gorgeous backdrop for a ceremony and reception, but the staff alone is reason enough to book. When you do be sure to use Kenzie as your day of coordinator! She went ABOVE and BEYOND to make our day perfect -- even with some unexpected events we had full faith in Kenzie running the show. We got so many compliments on our day that we will never forget! We can't thank the Abella team enough!
