My husband and I got married here in December of 2023 and there is nothing that I would change. Kelly and all of the volunteers were AMAZING. Kelly was very helpful leading up to the wedding, we were able to meet with her multiple times on site, she was very organized with her notes and made sure that everyone knows what was going on, so we didn't need to worry the day of. We used Kathy’s Kitchen for our catering and had nothing but good feedback on the champagne chicken and the volunteers. All of the wonderful people that came together definitely had an impact on our day.
I haven't even gotten to the venue itself...
The Braham Event Center was the perfect place for our winter wedding. Although we didn’t have much snow this winter, we were blessed the day of with a beautiful hoar frost that lasted throughout the day. The huge glass windows were perfect to display this magical day. Our 270-guest count fit perfectly within, and the dance floor was full the entire night. We would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone. Braham will always hold a special spot in our hearts.
Love, The Eidens

Hannah!!!! Thank you so much for the kind reviews! You know we all LOVED working with you guys! Your photos are absolutely beautiful. Thank you for being so great to work with and congrats!!
We had such a great experience with BEC. We found them during our venue search and made our decision to book them for our wedding the minute we walked into the room. The giant, gorgeous windows sold us and the fact that there were beautiful birch trees directly outside of it was a bonus. The planning process was made so much easier with the help of Kelly, who answered so many questions and constant emails from me. The Bridal room was stunning day of and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to marry my best friend. We also used Kathy's Kitchen for our catering services and everything was delicious! Every person that was working that night was so kind and showered us with congratulations and we felt truly blessed to have such great people helping us make our day run smoothly.

Such a beautiful venue and a large space. The communication with the staff was prompt, friendly, and informative. I could not have asked for a better experience on my wedding day!

Thank you, Katie!! You guys were a DREAM to work with!! Congrats again!! :)
Any questions?
Both the Event Coordinator Kelly and the volunteers at the Braham Event Center were dedicated to making our experience great! They were helpful with planning as well as with anything we asked for on our wedding day! We used Kathy's Kitchen for catering and found them to be professional and accommodating as well. All of our guests had wonderful things to say about their food and service! We highly recommend them and feel our experience was incredible!
Kelly and the staff at the Braham Event Center were beyond amazing to work with! From taking a tour, booking, answering questions and providing feedback throughout the planning process and finally seeing everything come together for the big day, these are your go to people. The event center is beautiful to start with but having the creative freedom, access to amazing local vendors, and the amazing volunteer staff, your day will truly one of the best and easiest days for both you and your guests.

Thank you, Madison!! Planning with you was fun and a breeze! Congrats to you both!! :)
I cannot say enough good things about Kelly and her team. We chose the venue for the big beautiful windows! And we’re so glad we did! On our wedding day they were so helpful! Everything was done beautifully! Everyone LOVED the food, which was Kathy’s Kitchen. The staff was so amazing at making sure the dessert table was never empty. It was such a relief to have them all there! We are so thankful for Kelly and her staff and would definitely recommend them to anyone!
Response from the Vendor on 12/30/2023

Thank you, Becky!! :)
Everything about working with Kelly at the event center was warm, pleasant, personal and kind. I got the pleasure to get to know Kelly while planning our wedding. She truly makes you feel like you're a close friend. The event center is beautiful, clean and incredibly reasonably priced. Couldn't say enough good things.

Adriana!!
Thank you so much!! You were fun to work with and so laid back! Thank you and congrats!! :)
Kelly and all the volunteers at the Braham Event Center played an amazing part in making our special day absolutely perfect. These people are absolutely AMAZING!
We looked at multiple venues before finally settling on the Braham Event Center and it was absolutely beautiful, clean and wonderful all for a very reasonable price. I thank Kelly and all the volunteers so much for making our special day absolutely perfect. The bridal suite was wonderful for getting ready with my sisters, mother and mother in law. They even equipped it with plenty of tables and a mirror (which I did not think of til I arrived on my wedding day!) The grooms room was perfect for my husband and his brother in laws to get ready in.
When I first arrived in the morning, that’s when I met Butch, one of the amazing volunteers. He was even so kind to help me carry in all the boxes I had for decorations. He also provided me with all the materials I would have needed to get everything ready in the reception area.
This venue is so beautiful. The outside is the perfect mix of modern yet has a rustic barn feel to it. Everything inside is new, nice, and clean. I absolutely loved the big giant window that we had our ceremony in front of. The views out the window were beautiful and looked out to wonderful birch trees that were just changing colors for our beautiful fall wedding day.
The volunteers made sure that the table switch from the ceremony to the reception was quick, easy and simple. The volunteers did a wonderful job cooking the pasta dinner for our first meal. The food was amazing and the volunteers were so kind to serve everyone, even though it was a buffet style dinner.
Sam from the pizza pub was very easy to chat with about how we wanted the bar for our wedding. He brought our kegs right away in the morning and set up the bar for us. He also sent out two amazing bartenders, Becky and Brian, that treated our guests amazing and got them everything they could.
Yvonne from encore events did an AMAZING job having the drapery in the event hall. She left and provided us with table cloths and napkins for all our guests. She made sure I knew what to do with them at the end of the night. Her set ups are so beautiful and I would highly recommend saying yes to the drapery!
Our wedding day went so smooth, and we didn’t have any hiccups and I know this was partially due to the amazing work that the Braham Event Center does. We are so thankful that we chose them for our special day. We couldn’t have asked for a better day! GO CHECK THEM OUT ❤️
Response from the Vendor on 10/11/2023
WOW!! Emily, thank you for so many kind words!! You and Brandon were a dream to work with. We loved every minute of it! Congratulations!!! :) :)
My experience working with The Braham Event Center team has been fantastic. My wedding day turned out absolutely gorgeous and I got so much help from all of the volunteers and staff throughout the day. When things didn't go according to plan, like missing batteries or silverware, they offered what they had on hand proptly and absolutely saved the day. They are an absolute pleasure to work with and made everything go so smoothly. I cannot thank them enough!
Response from the Vendor on 10/04/2023
Thank you, Isabel! You and Devin were so laid back and easy to work with. We really enjoyed having you and your family and friends. Congratulations!! :)
The event center staff was amazing to work with! The catering within the Tusen Tack program, Kathy's Kitchen, run entirely by volunteers, were great! My day couldn't have been any more perfect!
Response from the Vendor on 10/04/2023
Thank you, Shana! You're the best!! :) :) :)
The venue is gorgeous, the staff is very professional and helpful with all your needs, and the on-site catering was great.
Kelly and the team at Braham Event Center are AMAZING! My husband Grant and I got married and had our reception there last June and it was a great venue! The food was amazing (we had the champagne chicken) and Kelly was so wonderful in helping us make sure the day was the best that it could be. This venue was also very affordable and accommodated our 250 guests very well.
Response from the Vendor on 12/04/2022
Thank you, Hannah!! We loved hanging with you guys and your family!! :) :)
Very beautiful and affordable. I never thought I’d be able to afford my dream wedding and this location was pretty dang close. The employees and volunteers were so helpful and kind. They went above and beyond to make our day magical and run smoothly! The affordable cost didn’t hurt either. Definitely recommend this venue 10000/10
Response from the Vendor on 12/04/2022
10000/10?! Thanks, Bailey!!!! :) :) :)
We LOVED our experience with BEC! We have nothing but great things to say about Kelly and the staff there! Kelly always responded quickly and in great detail. The volunteers were wonderful and our guest had great interactions with them. The only "issue" we had was that we had to get permission from a board on multiple things- all were okay with what we were asking- but it was pretty nerve-wrecking that we wouldn't be allowed to do some things. We catered through them and got many compliments on our food as well! The cost is very affordable and they provide lots of "add-ons" for a small cost compared to many other venues! We have so many great things to say about the Braham Event Center!
Response from the Vendor on 10/20/2022
Tracie! Thank you for the kind review and CONGRATS!! Everything was beautiful and you guys were so great to work with. :) :)
I would highly recommend having your wedding here! It is affordable and the space is beautiful! Kelly was such a help in the whole process and we can’t thank her enough. The volunteer’s were also so amazing and helped our special day run smoothly! 10/10 recommend!!

Thank you, Deidre!! We loved working with you and your family!! Congrats again!! :)
We loved working with the Braham Event Center staff while planning for our winter wedding! The Bridal Suite was set up early before we arrived, the tables and chairs are included and were placed for us, and dinner was right on time! We got so many compliments on our venue choice and the food!
Response from the Vendor on 06/23/2022
Hi, Rachael! We loved working with you guys. Your family is wonderful and I enjoyed your visits throughout the planning stages. Congrats again! :)
I am so glad that we decided to have our ceremony and reception at the Braham Event Center. We were able to set up the day before and had lots of space to get ready for the wedding. The staff and volunteers were amazing and helped the day go very smooth!

Brooklyn, thank you so much for the kind review!! Also, happy anniversary!! :) :)
The venue was very helpful and made everything easy for us to plan out our big day! It turned out stunning and ran smoothly.
Response from the Vendor on 03/25/2022
Hello, Olivia! Thank you so much for the kind review. We loved working with you. I returned from my trip and I can't tell you how many of our volunteers made a special stop to the office to tell me how wonderful you and your family and friends ...
were to work with. They all love you! :) Congrats to you again!!
I cannot recommend Braham Event Center enough if you're thinking of hosting an event. Everyone was helpful, kind, and seemed to genuinely want to help us. No matter how many random questions I threw their way, they were always willing to respond and make sure that our event was as perfect as possible. I was also blown away with how accommodating they were with our various food allergies in the family. They wanted to make sure that everyone felt welcome and understood, and I can't thank them enough for that. Thank you so much, Braham Event Center. You really made our wedding the perfect day!
Response from the Vendor on 03/21/2022
Thank you, Owen and Allison! You guys are the best! It was our pleasure to work with you. Thanks for the kind words. :)
We ultimately decided to go with another venue closer to the Twin Cities metro, but I wanted to share that Braham Event Center is an incredible wedding venue and Kelly, the Event Coordinator, was just awesome to work with as we were touring venues. She is prompt and attentive in answering all questions and providing helpful information, and her diligence really shows in the beautiful weddings that have been held there! Additionally, we met some of the volunteers while touring and they were so kind and attentive as well - you can tell the community really values the Event Center. While we didn't ultimately go there, I wanted to share the positive experience I had with Kelly and the Braham Event Center. I'm sure any couple would have a wonderful event here.
Response from the Vendor on 01/19/2022
Michelle! Thank you for the kind review. I really enjoyed getting to know you and your family during your visits. I wish you the best of luck with your wedding plans. Thanks again for being so kind and positive and fun. :)
ABSOLUTELY love The Braham Event Center! Upon signing, they gave us a list of recommend vendors. We hired our photographer, day-of-coordinator & caterer off that list. We felt like we had the best team of vendors on our special day! Kelly, with the event center, was THE BEST! She is such a happy upbeat person & was so helpful during our wedding planning process! Highly recommend the Braham Event Center!!!

Tanishaaaaaa!! Thank you so much for the kind review. I loved working with you!! Your day was beautiful and you were gorgeous. You have a beautiful family!! Congrats again. :)
I am so thankful I discovered Braham Event Center while searching for a wedding venue! My wedding was in September 2021, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with a venue. Kelly, the coordinator, was very helpful and communicative, and all the volunteers were lovely as well.
There’s plenty of space, great spots outside to get beautiful photos, and super convenient on-site catering (you can bring in your own catering if you prefer to, but I highly recommend the on-site catering because it took so much stress out of the planning process for me).
I honestly can’t think of a single complaint about the center or anyone I interacted with throughout the whole planning process and the wedding day. To any future Minnesota brides reading this, I 100% recommend Braham Event Center for your big day!
Response from the Vendor on 11/10/2021
Jessica!!! Thank you so much for the kind review!! We absolutely loved working with you and Josh. You were so organized and so lovely to work with, and your day turned out perfectly. Thanks for being so great and congratulations again!! :)
We cannot recommend this venue enough. We got married here a couple of weeks ago and we had so many compliments on the venue, food and staff/volunteers! Kelly & the the volunteers went above and beyond for us. We were treated so kindly and were offered more than enough help through every single step of planning our wedding. There are not enough nice words I can say about our experience and all of the people that helped us plan our big day!
Response from the Vendor on 10/06/2021
Thank you, Amber! You two were SO great to work with. All of our volunteer staff had such nice things to say. You make a beautiful bride and couple. Thanks and congrats again!
The Braham Event Center was a beautiful place to get married. We loved the scenery, we loved the glass back drop. We loved the food. We loved everything about it. What a Special place to spend our Special Day!

Thank you, Wendy! We miss you already!! :)
This venue is seriously amazing! It’s a gold nugget in a cute small town north of Cambridge, MN. The venue coordinator is so helpful answering questions and working with us on everything! All the guests at our wedding loved the food we had (we chose to go with the caterer through the venue). Amazing price for what you get for the venue! Love love love! Highly recommend.

Maria, thank you SO much for the kind review. We loved working with you guys! Our staff and volunteers couldn't get over your beautiful dress and the suits for the guys - that blue!! Thanks again!

Thank you, Samantha!! We loved working with you guys. :)
Kelly and the entire team at the Braham Event Center were absolutely amazing. They did such a great job helping us set up the venue.

Communication was great from day one and they were flexible, and on top of everything!

Response from the Vendor on 08/18/2020
Kelsey!! Thank you so much for the kind review. We loved working with you and Josiah. Congrats again, you're a beautiful couple and family!
Braham Event Center was a magical place for a New Years Eve wedding. The venue had the white lights and trees up from Christmas, but had the opportunity to not have the trees. Staff were very flexible and stress free. Behind the alter area there is a wall that is all window with Beautiful trees outside and the light snow helped the ambience. Appetizers, dance and D J made this a very special evening for all.
Response from the Vendor on 08/18/2020
Thank you, Traci! :) We love weddings around the holidays and your ceremony was beautiful.
This venue has plenty of room and small town charm. There were rooms on either side of the venue for parties to get ready without seeing one another. The staff was attentive and punctual.
Response from the Vendor on 06/15/2020
Thank you so much for the kind review, Amethyst! :)
I don’t even know where to start! All of the staff were SO amazing through all of the planning and small details, and of course the day of. Kathy’s Kitchen is the in-house caterer: The food was AMAZING! We got a lot of comments about dinner and breakfast the next day. Everything was very well organized, the staff all communicated very well as a team and with us. They were all very flexible and easy to work with. I can’t thank all of the staff enough for making our special day turn out perfectly!
We also really liked how large the space was and it has a more modern feel to it that was very easy to personalize to fit our wedding decor. There was plenty of parking and side rooms to use for storage and miscellaneous use.
Response from the Vendor on 06/07/2020
Thank you so much, Erica!! You and Jed are one of our favorites!. Thanks for the kind words and all that you've done to help us spread the word about our center. I wish we could do your big day all over again! :)
The employees and volunteers at Braham Event Center were very helpful from beginning to end. They all were willing to help with anything we needed along the way. The venue was very spacious, very beautiful, and met all of our needs. Our special day was amazing.
Response from the Vendor on 06/07/2020
Thanks, Taylor!!! We loved working with you guys! :) :)
We are so happy we picked the Braham Event Center as our wedding venue! We were looking for something affordable but beautiful where we could hold a 200 person wedding as well as a reception with a dance. The Braham Event Center was perfect! The floor to ceiling windows made a stunning backdrop for the ceremony and we had the room staged for a very quick turn around into a reception. Because the space is very open and minimally decorated, we were able to bring in our own style and really make it ours. We had private spaces to get ready and I loved the convenience of a private bathroom next to the bridal party's space. We did our pictures right outside and they turned out beautifully as well.
Kelly was very flexible and fun to work with, and the catering team was fantastic as well, accommodating gluten, egg, and dairy allergies with patience and care. They put their best into making our day special, and it showed. We would recommend the Braham Event Center for anyone looking for an affordable yet classy option for a wedding ceremony or reception venue.
