This venue was the perfect place to get married! The outside ceremony space is beautiful and the ballroom is large and spacious and set up perfectly for dinner and dancing. We had Cambrie as our point of contact for all things wedding and she w...
as so attentive, kind and willing to help solve anything that came up.
I loved that Bunker had food and drinks included in their package, because that’s two less vendors you need to contact and organize. Our guests raved about the food saying it was the best wedding food they have had! The food came out quickly and the servers were kind and helpful.
I can’t say enough good things about our experience at Bunker Hills!
We loved our experience with Bunker Hills Event Center. We toured the venue with one person, and seamlessly transitioned to working with Kelene once we booked the venue. She made herself consistently available to answer every question we had, a...
nd made sure we knew exactly how the space would be organized. On our actual wedding day, our experience with the entire catering team was fantastic. They were professional, kind, and went above and beyond to serve us. For example, we had a guest who had recently had their wisdom teeth removed. The kitchen made a special bowl of soup for him (not on our prepaid menu) so he could enjoy the dinner. Annie, the head of catering, was excellent. She made sure our head table was well taken care of and always had extra water and whatever we needed. We would wholeheartedly recommend them to other couples.
I can’t say enough good things about Bunker Hills Event Center. We had our wedding there on 9/30/23 and everything was absolutely perfect.
We worked with Cambrie and she was amazing! She was so willing to work with me and answer any of my ques...
tions literally at any time of the day. When I emailed her, she would email me back within 10 minutes. She made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it and she was so well organized.
The food was incredible - try the beef short ribs, all of our guests were raving about it after. The homemade apple crisp was to die for. And I highly recommend doing the late night pizza! Guests loved it.
We got ready at the venue, and it was perfect. When we arrived at 9 AM, Cambrie had our mimosas already in the room chilled and ready for us to drink! We were able to order breakfast or anything else from the Kendall’s menu which was really nice.
This was a really great wedding venue and I highly recommend! I felt so confident that everything was going to go well with the amount of hands on deck. I am so grateful for all of the staff - servers and bartenders who served us all night - and even helped me with cleanup at the end of the night when everyone else bailed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Any questions?
I had my wedding at Bunker Hills 9.16 and it was absolutely fantastic. I have wanted my wedding here since I can remember! Along with the beautiful venue there were so many fantastic spots to take pictures. Bunker Hills staff and coordinator we...
re there from the beginning until the end. I cannot say enough about the professionalism, expertise and friendly staff.

at Bunker Hills Event Center.
We loved our wedding at Bunker Hills! First off, it looked amazingly beautiful! I knew without a doubt the crew spent a lot of time and hard work setting it up for us!!!
The sales manager, Cambrie McCollor, had been in constant contact with m...
y wife and I throughout the month leading up to our event. We both thought it was awesome for the amount of time she put forth keeping us in the loop. It was apparent how much they care about your expectations when assisting you with throwing an event. Cambrie's high-spirited personality definitely left a thumbprint on us and our family during the planning and execution of our day.
The catering menu consisted of so many delicious choices! We struggled making a decision but Cambrie helped us make a final decision and we are still getting compliments to this day about how good it was! We loved Cambries strait forward, honest opinions and appreciated her yes's and no's when it came to our extra ideas and her work proved to be the best choices because of how beautiful things turned out to be!
We built trust with the staff here at Bunker Hills and we'd recommend hosting here for future events! I'm so glad and thankful to have someone like Cambrie and the other staff here to help with such an important event! It makes us thank God for that blessing! Thank you for everything!
I am soooo grateful and happy that we chose Bunker Hills Event Center to have our wedding reception (May 20, 2023). For the longest time I didn't even want to book a venue since I was worried it would involve tons of dreaded planning. Thank God...
I finally did though because our wedding reception was unforgettable, beautiful & nearly stress free!
Cambrie McCollor (Sales Manager) was our main point of contact - from our tour, tasting, and miscellaneous planning, all the way to our wedding day. I honestly don't think I could have done this without her positive/calming attitude, and overwhelming help! I literally feel like we showed up for our wedding and everything was taken care of making everything fall right into place - seamlessly. Cambrie was very accommodating, easy to work with and always responded before I would've expected.
The bridal party was able to get ready at Bunker, then go out on the golf course for some beautiful photos. We had an off-site ceremony but when we got back the grand ballroom was beautiful - the staff and my friends/family did such a great job putting everything together. The food was phenomenal - we received so many compliments on the taste as well as the portions!
They have a beautiful yard to have your ceremony but since I already had my ceremony venue Cambrie gave me the idea to have our first dance outside with our loved ones surrounding us! How cool.
I can't say enough good things about Bunker Hills Event Center. This venue is absolutely beautiful and the staff are amazing! I can't wait to book other miscellaneous events here in the future!
My husband and I just got married at Bunker Hills Event Center May 2023. We are so grateful for Cambrie who helped us plan our perfect day. She was responsive, accommodating, creative, and fun to work with. The venue was absolutely perfect with...
amazing staff. The food was great. Lots of unique areas for pictures. Outdoor ceremony space is beautiful. I would recommend this venue to anyone with an upcoming wedding.
Just photographed my first wedding reception there and was very impressed! The space is large enough to host a 150+ guests, the staff was very friendly, and the food was fantastic! Hope to photograph many more weddings at Bunker Hills!
My fiancée and I were looking for a nice, reasonably priced venue for our modest sized wedding. Wow, did we feel fortunate to find Bunker Hills, and our wedding coordinator, Shannon Hartinger! More on Shannon later, and an additional shout out ...
to Callie who started the process for us!
Our ceremony was setup on the backside of the clubhouse, with our guests seated to view portions of the course!
We had about 60 people, and the simulator/ballroom with many golf course facing windows was perfect for our reception. This reception space overlooked the ceremony setup and was immediately accessible from the ceremony seating area, via an adjoining deck and a few stairs.
The outdoor deck (w bar) was a great space for people to gather prior to the wedding, and was also a nice spot for guests to hang out during the reception if they chose.
The simulator/ballroom had plenty of space for our guest seating (hi and low tables), inside bar, 20x20 dance floor, DJ setup, many appetizers (what we served rather than meals), and gift table. Plenty of room to walk around and visit!
Back to Shannon…
Professional, kind, sweet, accommodating, responsive, and most of all very helpful through the entire process, (from pre-planning, all the way through the event).
She helped us with food choices, bar arrangements, room layout, ceremony song selection, microphone/speaker setup for the ceremony, collaboration with our DJ, ceremony procession walkthrough, and strategizing best way to hide my bride-to-be from her marine son who was a surprise attendee! She did it all with grace, and made us feel special at every turn!
We did all of this for about 4K, including the DJ for almost five hours! BTW…call Jake Carter at Eleventh Ave Productions if you need a great DJ!! Tommy and Colton were awesome!!
I never post reviews, but Bunker Hills and Shannon provided such great service that it needed to be recognized!
Good luck!

Bunker Hills was better than I could have imagine! It was great to be able to have our ceremony and reception in one place, the outdoor ceremony area is incredibly beautiful! Unfortunately it rained on our wedding day and we had to do our cerem...
ony indoors (and it was still stunning!) and we are so thankful Bunker has a Plan B for uncooperative weather. We received so many compliments from our guests about the delicious food. We worked with Callie while planning our wedding and she was incredible to say the least. She was always there to answer any questions we had and worked with us to make our wedding everything we could have dreamed of.

We got married at Bunker in July of 2019 and we had the best experience! The food was incredible, I had guests commenting on how great it was for weeks! It was affordable and if you desire, it can be a one stop shop. We had our ceremony, recept...

Thank you so much for the kind review Emily! You and Jason were so fantastic to work with. I'm so happy to hear how happy you were with your experience at Bunker! Congratulations again and enjoy being Newlyweds! - Callie
Bunker Hills was the absolute perfect venue for our wedding reception! The inside space is beautiful, the outside is gorgeous with all the trees, and the guests ALL raved about the food. We loved the bridal suit for the girls to get ready in an...
d the space for the guys to hangout in was great, too. Our event coordinator was Diane, and she was the sweetest and most flexible person! She made sure the day was exactly how we imagined, and she kept everything running perfectly smooth! We are so happy we choose Bunker Hills, and we would do it again 100x!
My husband and I were more than thrilled with our decision to use Bunker Hills for our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception in June of 2018! We knew immediately after walking in that this was where we wanted to get married! Callie was so a...
mazing to work with and so helpful. My husband and I live in Michigan and she made planning a wedding from 600 miles away so easy! She was so quick to respond to my dozens of phone calls and emails. She worked with us to plan visits and the food tasting around our schedules as we were limited with timing due to distance. The food for the reception and the rehearsal dinner was phenomenal, we are still getting compliments 4 months later. We ended up having to move the ceremony inside due to rain but Callie and the venue team made the transition so easy and it was still a beautiful service. We loved the open layout of the ballroom and the ability to use the bridal suite and the conference room for getting ready. The venue staff that served dinner wasjust phenomenal and so kind. We can't say enough good things about Bunker Hills and will recommend it to anyone that asks!

Thank you for the kind review Anna! You and Jonathan were so great to work with & your day was absolutely beautiful! I wish you both the best! Congratulations again!
We actually got married in the park and rented pavilion 3 for our ceremony and reception. I always wanted a weddding in the woods. But with unpredictable weather and the amount of details to make that happen, Bunker Hills was the best alternati...
ve. We had so many great photo options nearby and we had the perfect day for an outdoor wedding. And if it would have rained we would have had coverage in a beautiful vaulted pavilion. The park was great with helping us answer questions and accommodating us.
Diane was absolutely amazing to work with from the planing to the day of the wedding! Throughout the planning process Diane paid very close attention to detail, had awesome ideas, and answered all of our questions right away. Diane and her staf...
f at Bunker went above and beyond throughout the entire night. One specific example that really meant a lot to me was when my husband and I were going table to table to talk with everyone throughout dinner we got so busy we missed our own dinner and the staff came up to us and told us that they noticed we missed our dinner and whenever we had time they would have something ready for us. The staff not only took great care of us, but all of our guests and their dietary needs as well.
We could not have asked for the night to have gone any better! We had 250+ guests and had plenty of space and many commented on how great of a venue Bunker is filled with friendly staff, awesome food, and overall wonderful atmosphere! If you want a venue that you can totally trust I would highly recommend Bunker Hills Event Center! Even our other vendors commented on how great Bunker was to work with!
There are not enough words to express how grateful we are for our experience at Bunker Hills Event Center! We had our ceremony outside in the amphitheater and our reception inside in the ballroom. We received so many compliments on how beautifu...
l the venue was and how amazing the staff were throughout the day. We had many guests coming from out of town for our wedding day, so it was important that we could have both the ceremony and reception at the same venue. We worked with Callie throughout the planning process and let me tell you - what a rockstar! From catering options to working with our vendors to decor set-up and assisting with our rehearsal - she took such good care of us throughout the entire process! There was a meeting the morning of our wedding, so we could not get into the ballroom to decorate until 2:30 pm the day of our wedding (which started at 4:00 pm). Callie and her staff (along with my personal attendants) took care of everything and had everything ready to go by the time social hour started at 4:30 pm! Everyone was so professional, organized, accommodating, and experienced in everything they did. We highly recommend Bunker Hills Event Center for all your wedding needs!

ible from the beginning! She has great ideas, very responsive, and would always somehow get everything I wanted! Her and the staff at Bunker Hills were AMAZING to work with. They checked on us multiple times throughout the night and made sure everything was going smoothly. The food was and is so good. My guests raved about the food and all the dessert options we had. Thanks to Diane and all the Bunker Hills staff for making our wedding day fabulous and memorable!!
We choose Bunker Hills for our venue after the first place we picked became very difficult to work with. From the first moment we met Callie, we knew she was the person we wanted to work with and that Bunker was the place we wanted to hold our...
special day! She was wonderful to work with! Professional, knowledgeable, and always available to answer questions. Callie and her staff were amazing, as they worked with my Day-of-planner, and coordinated our wedding day exactly as we had planned. The food was absolutely delicious and the wait staff was attentive and professional! I can't speak highly enough of the beautiful venue, exceptional staff and mostly of how Callie played an integral part of making our day the wedding that we dreamed of!

We worked with Diane at Bunker Hills Event Center and have nothing but incredible things to say. Our entire experience was better than we could have asked. Diane quickly responded to all of our e-mails and questions throughout our entire 18mon...
th engagement, was very flexible and accommodating, and was so helpful in our entire planning process.
Then venue itself is beautiful and worked perfectly for us. We had our ceremony on the outside lawn and it was absolutely perfect. The ballroom is bright, natural, and large without feeling too big or impersonal. I got ready in the bridal suite which was large enough for my bridal party of 7 to get dressed and get make up done. We did move to the ballroom for natural lighting during 'getting ready' pictures just because the bridal suite doesn't have any exterior windows, but it was the perfect place to store our belongings and worked as a good 'home base' throughout the day. The guys used the conference room which worked out great for them to have a private space away from us girls and was large enough to allow them to play some games before they needed to be ready.
The staff at Bunker took care of all of the details from set-up to tear down at the end of the night. We had so much confidence in them with our special day and solving any problems that may have come along. We didn't have to think twice about taking care of the logistics of the day because they took care of it all (move the gift table and the place card table, taking down the chairs at the ceremony site, delivering special meals/high chairs/ etc. to people that needed them, etc.).
We couldn't have asked for better people to work with or a better location for such a special day.

rocess. She was organized, professional, attentive to details and so friendly. Callie was on-site the day of our wedding to make sure everything ran smoothly, which was such a huge help! Price quotes were detailed and provided up front, so there were no surprises. The rental fee covers the use of the ballroom and outdoor patio spaces, as well as the use of all tables, chairs and linens needed for your event. Overall, our wedding day was amazing and we are so grateful for all the time and effort the staff at Bunker put in to make our big day possible. I highly recommend Bunker Hills Golf Club!

nd, don't forget to send me some wedding pictures cause I know they are going to be just beautiful! Best wishes and congratulations again!
The venue was fabulous and the food was good. The Harvest Grill was wonderful to work with but it transferred hands before the big day. The new management was very difficult to work with.

This venue was perfect! We couldn't have asked for anything better! First and foremost, the staff is really great! They are very helpful and cater to exactly what the Bride and Groom want! Also, the place is beautiful! We had gotten really g...
reat pictures outside and inside the venue! This place truly was picture perfect!
We held our wedding reception at the Bunker Hills Golf Club this spring and it was nothing short of awesome. The food was out of this world good, the site is beautiful, and the staff is very professional. Our on-site coordinator Jessica was e...
xtremely helpful and we could not have had such an awesome reception with out her. I highly recommend this site and if you go this route make sure you work with Jessica she is awesome!
We've now had our outside wedding and reception (260) as well as other corporate events here (300+). We initially looked at over 15 venues around the cities and settled on Bunker... in large part because it was available (barely).
Jessica i...
s an amazing coordinator, easy to work with on the corporate side and exceptional on the wedding side. Nothing ruffles her feathers and stays on top of everything. We've received numerous complements on the class, comfort, promptness, and professionalism of Jessica, her staff as well as the venue as a whole. This sentiment was echoed by all of the vendors we worked with, who would know.
Pricing was obvious, food was great, audio/visual was easy, cell phone/internet reception wasn't an issue as with many places. Many choices were simply included without the up charge such as linen colors and outside chairs.
The only thing that I had concern about initially was that the music had to stop by 11:30pm. We filled the dance floor all night and I will tell you after a very long day for everyone it was a blessing to end on a high note before things had a chance to go downhill. For those that had the ability to go on, relocating to a hotel after party was a welcome change. This also let everyone who was cleaning up after to get out at a reasonable time.
We choose this venue a little over a year in advance since they do seem to book up but the whole experience was fantastic! The wedding coordinator was great! The staff was great! The food, everything turned out wonderful!
Most beautiful wedding reception I've seen! Service is amazing!
The Harvest Grill event center was our number one choice for our reception site. A few reasons: the capacity is large, the decor is neutral and you can really do anything with the space (light brown maple woodwork and natural light brown carpet...
- not like crazy bright carpet you see at Hotels that don't go with any decor.), and it the restaurant there has good food so we knew the venue would too. Overall, the staff were very responsive, professional and helpful. It was a great place for a reception!
Harvest Grill & Event Center at Bunker HIlls Golf Course was the absolute perfect place for our wedding! The room was beautiful even before it was decorate for the wedding! Jenna, the wedding coordinator, was great to work with and was very h...
elpful along the way. The food that was prepared was delicious and we received many compliments on it. The colors of our wedding were tans, neutrals and whites so the design of the hall match perfectly. To top it all off my finance and I are big golfers and we were able to have our cocktail hour in the MN Golf Hall of Fame. I couldn't have asked for a better place to have our reception!
The only couple of warnings I would give is that a standard chair cover does not fit on their chairs so we had to use bag style chair covers. Also the weddings end at 11:30 however we just started a little early and I didn't even realize it.
We went with the buffet option and had feta and spinach stuffed chicken. It was a really good wedding meal and the buffet went very smoothly with 200+ guests. It was a really good value for the price.
There is a bridal room at Harvest Grill that all the girls used to get ready in. We started our pictures at Bunker Hills Golf Course (it is a beautiful background for pictures) and then went to the church from there. It was perfect as we could leave everything at Bunker Hills in a locked room.
I would recommend Harvest Grill for anyone looking for their wedding. I wish I could put in words how much I truly enjoyed the day!
Angie Johnson and staff were excellent, They thought of everything.
We originally were planning on having the ceremony outside. Due to last minute weather conditions, the wedding had to be moved inside. The wedding staff did an amazing job of moving the wedding inside and making me feel really good with it.

The food was amazing, the room was beautiful and the staff was great to work with! I would DEFINITELY recommend this location for ceremony and reception!
We had a beautiful ceremony and so much fun at our reception at Bunker Hills. We loved the food and really appreciated how helpful Angie and the staff at Harvest Grill and Bunker Hills were. We had 260+ guests and there was plenty of space for ...
dancing and getting around without feeling cramped at all. We had an amazing wedding day!
Thank you!
The Event Center at Bunker HIlls was absolutely perfect for our big day. We had the ceremony outdoors, just outside of the event center, and it was beautiful. We had just over 200 guests, and the event center was big and spacious so we didnt f...
eel crowded at all. The food was delicious! We've gotten so many compliments. Jenna, the event coordinator, made everything go so smoothly. She was extremely easy to work with, very organized, and had just a great personality in general.
Angie was great to work with. The staff were welcoming and friendly. Beautiful venue and great food!
we were the only event there that night
Everyone easy to work with helpful and truly took care of us!
The staff that initally met with us wa far beyond helpful. IT was the first place we visited and fell in love with it instantly. The food was excellent, the choices were endless and it was very well priced. Not to mention the room setup, it had...
separate places for dancing, eating as well as its own built in bar. We weren't required to move tables from the dance floor and the bar was not moving around the room. The windows and swag added a nice touch of elegance. The staff was on top of everything. It ran according to schedule and not a minute later. They answered all of our questions in a timely manner and were able to spend as much time with us as needed. Our outside vendors said they were very easy to work with and very professional.;There really isnt anything that we would warn other couples about. All of our guests still complinent our reception choice and the things that went with it. I would highly recommend The Reserve to anyone.
