Dellwood Barn Weddings

My husband and I got married at Dellwood last month Oct 22! It was the perfect fall Minnesota wedding that we always dreamed of. The colors at the venue were perfect orange and red, our photos turned out so magical and everything we were looking for. We got blessed with a warm MN fall day and had the best time using the property with the yard comes and bonfire pit that come with the venue package. We booked our date over a year before and the planning process was a breeze. Our wedding party and guests had a great time here!

My partner and I got married and had our reception at Dellwood Barn this past summer and it was a great experience for our family/friends and all of our wedding guests. We got married outside on their ceremony hill, and got so many compliments how pretty it was! The guests were able to enjoy the property and a summer night which was exactly what we wanted. The experience working with the venue / staff was great and feel like we got a great value for our day!

My husband and I had our wedding here this past July and it was everything we were looking for! We wanted a rustic barn feel that was out in a pretty area but not far away from the main cities. This venue was perfect for that and all of our guests local and out of town. Easy to get to and from and has lots of ammonites for our guests in the area and at the venue day of. The staff and owners were super friendly and made the whole wedding process smooth! Great barn venue to book for your wedding.

Beautiful property and that’s about it. Owner Julie is rude and and beyond unprofessional. Contract is out of control. For the price we paid absolutely not worth it. She was Short staffed and snapped at several of my guests and wedding party for no reason. Among many other negative attributes of the day. Would highly not recommend until new ownership or management is found.

Owner was out of control and very rude. Made not only the bride stressed on her wedding day but all the guests felt the glare and stress of the owner. Owner makes all the wedding party after ceremony remove items from the suits during wedding. VERY INCONVENIENT. She also stood by and timed us with a watch as we got all our items out of the suits. Like we were criminals. Owner did not allow music to play in reception due to noises being to loud for neighbors. Had to close barn doors later to get music on. What’s the point of having a reception with no music??? Owner watched us like hawks and gave our DJ a very hard time. Owner was so rude and yelled at many of the ppl in the wedding including my husband. I will NEVER suggest this place!! HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. It’s a pretty venue but not worth the crap she makes everyone deal with. This bride also was employed by her and she still treated her this way! JUST SHOWS CHARACTER. DJ also mentioned he would never suggest this place to any one. Worst experience he has had ever as a DJ. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY, over priced and she’s very deceitful.

We had our wedding here on August 5th and it was so great, our dream day. We had been planning our wedding for awhile and the whole process with the venue was super smooth and they had everything that we needed to make our day great! The staff and the owners during the process and day of were super helpful. The venue is gorgeous and we got lots of compliments from our guests and how fun the day was. If you are looking for a barn venue we recommend booking this venue.

Do not have your wedding here. I got married at Dellwood 10/8/22. The location is beautiful but the owner is a nightmare. Julie is rude and pushy and made the wedding party, guests and photographer feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. She was very short and rude. When the bridal party asked for their mimosas that were paid for, Julie responded “well if your nice” in a condescending attitude. After the ceremony the photographer took the wedding party across the road to get shots by the fall leaves. When they returned Julie yelled at the photographer saying “Umm no we don’t do that.” Another incident happened at the very end of the night where the parents of the bride were dancing to the last song of the night and there was 1 minute left of the song, Julie yelled at the DJ to cut it off and everyone get out at 10:30. I am extremely disappointed and saddened by the experience we had at Dellwood. Julie ruined a very special day for the guest and wedding party. Beware. The venue is gorgeous but the hospitality is awful.

I attended my good friends wedding here last summer and it was such an amazing event! It was the perfect weather day for an outside venue with lots of fun things to do to keep all of us entertained throughout the whole night! I have attended a lot of weddings and this was by far one of my favorite venues to attend and enjoy a summer night wedding. They have super fun cocktails you can purchase as well as a bonfire with s'mores kit ready to make your own. We had lots of fun options to take photos and super fun sunset areas! We all danced the night away and were sad to see it all come to an end! If you or a friend is looking for a great venue, I would recommend looking into this one! The staff was also super helpful when we needed something, kept the venue super clean and the day ran smoothly and transitioned well!

I was the MOH in my best friends wedding at DBW and the whole day was super great! It was my friends dream wedding and it was so fun to watch everything unfold the day of. The bridal suite for getting ready in the morning was a brides dream - we all had breakfast and mimosas while we did our hair and makeup. They have getting ready bar/station with plenty of space for all of the bridesmaids and all of our stuff! There were so many fun places to take pictures, everything was so gorgeous and a pinterest dream we were all saying the day of. All of the groosmen and fun hanging outside by the yard games while the girls got ready! Once the wedding started and all of our other friends arrived we had a great time dancing the night away, hanging out by the fire and enjoying the property! Highly recommend this venue for your wedding!

My good friend good married at this venue and I helped her coordinator the day of her wedding to make sure things ran smoothly! From the time that she booked her wedding a year and half ago until the wedding day things went so great! The planning process was so smooth because the venue and staff have all of planning tools and decor that you need. The owners were super great to work with and helpful every step of the way. They literally think of everything you could need to help you plan the wedding as well as take care of everything the day of! The day of the wedding also went super smooth and guests loved the venue space and staff who take care of everything! They staff made sure we had what we needed all day long and any last minute things that we forgot! If you are looking for a stress free wedding process and day of, you should book here!

This was the most stressful wedding planning I could ever imagine. The owner, made me cry multiple times. She never got along with my mother and anything we asked for was a no. She told my mother 100 days before the wedding we could look for another venue if we wanted since things were going so badly. The owner overcharges on everything and it is her way or the highway. If you would like someone to plan your wedding for you and not make it unique to yourself you should go to DWB. If you would like to have your own wedding with your unique touches do not go here since everything you ask for will be rejected. For example, it was a fight to change the specialty drink, change where things go in the barn, put the memory table somewhere else, move fake plants and many other issues. Multiple times, they never pressed reply all in the emails where I had specific people copied on it to see her answers. Several times, emails would be ignored, and attempts to set up only phone calls would be made. I would individually have to forward every email she sent to me. Never felt so stressed out about the planning process. On the day of, the tables were not set up according to the layout I was provided and planned seats according to. Multiple guests and tables were in the wrong spot, not in accordance with the outline. The outline I was given showed the buffet was by the barn but no one told me they moved the buffet to the tables by the door. Overall, the day of the wedding went well. Guests were happy and had a blast, there were no complaints from anyone about service or the atmosphere. I hired a wedding planner and had the best florist in the world to help make my wedding beautiful and unique to me. My florist did an amazing job fighting to decorate how we wanted it. Things went smoothly on the day of the wedding, for the most part, but the process before the wedding was extremely difficult and complicated and at took much of the fun out of the wedding reception due to stress beforehand that could have been avoided.

We had an fantastic time at the wedding. The setting was perfect with all of the small details. It was such a scenic backdrop for the ceremony and having the reception on the property made it really easy for the older members of the family. Everything went smoothly and the staff was really nice. I'd certainly give it a hard look if you're in the market for a special wedding venue.

A little slice of heaven right in White Bear Lake! The landscape and grounds were absolutely impeccable (especially the hostas and plants!) and everything surrounding the barn was cleaned up beautifully. The whole day went so smooth, Julie and Vicki took care of anything that we needed (talk about a great tag team!) The transition from ceremony to reception was fluid and ready to go for the timeline provided. The vendors were all very considerate and like a well oiled machine. From dinner to dancing was a breeze, with a nice big fan on the dance floor to keep everyone cool and dancing all night long. You cannot ask for a better memory than you’re wedding day, and this is the place to make all those wonderful moments come to fruition. Do not wait and book with them today!

Dellwood Barn Weddings is a great outdoor venue with a nice country setting and views. I was so impressed with Dellwood Barn Weddings a few years ago when my oldest daughter got married here that when my youngest daughter got engaged there was no question, we would use Dellwood Barn Wedding again. Their turn-key service makes for a smooth planning process and all the details that go into planning the perfect day. Great attention to detail! Staff is very professional and attentive to the bridal party and guest needs!

Julie and her staff at Dellwood Barn Weddings was so organized and helpful. She returned phone calls and emails in a timely manner. Her property is perfect for a wedding. And the catering choices are the best. We were impressed from start to finish! I would highly recommend Dellwood Barn for really any event.

I have attended two weddings at the Dellwood Barn. Both times I was impressed with the property which is beautiful and the layout is perfect for any event. There are many places to sit in the shade and visit. The barn was decorated professionally and was very comfortable even in July. The staff was top notch from the parking attendant to the bartenders. The catering company provided a great variety of really good food. If anyone in my family wants an outdoor wedding Dellwood Barn would be my first choice!

I got married at DBW on July 2, it was the best day EVER. It was the wedding of my dreams... Julie and Vicki helped me have my dream wedding from start to finish.. from the decor to outside etc.. it was gorgeous. We still have guests complimenting us on how it was such a beautiful wedding .. from the food to the barn everything was perfect. If you are looking for the perfect barn wedding you should def book here.. they have a rental room with everything you need for your wedding so you can skip all the hassle on your own... they have everything on site so it makes planning easy as well as all of your guests in 1 place for the whole day.. Highly recommend DBW.

Our wedding day was magical! There is no other way to say it. Julie and Vicki were great to work with. There were no problems at all. They were smooth in every transition during the day. They were great to communicate with if there was a small problems. Highly recommend anyone getting married to get married here! You will not regret it. The rental room was amazing - it made all of our wedding decor dreams come true... made planning SO easy and smooth... everything was perfect . The grounds, yard games, bridal and groom areas.. all made for an easy wedding day of our dreams

If I could give Dellwood Barn Weddings six stars, I would! The venue is absolutely stunning, well-kept and the staff is amazing. It is top notch from decor, food and service. I would highly reccomend Dellwood Barn if you are looking for the wedding of your dreams!

I attended a Dellwood Barn wedding in July and it was a beautiful and perfect wedding. The owners were phenomenal and easy to talk to and the venue (and dance floor) was very spacious! The staff were kind, friendly and fun! We had such an amazing experience at Dellwood. I would recommend this for anyone looking for an outdoor venue in a beautiful scenery!

Beautiful venue with great attention to detail! Staff is very professional and attentive to any bridal party or guest needs! You will not be disappointed with your wedding experience here :)

DBW gave me the wedding reception of my dreams! Firstly, thank you to Julie and Scott for being so accommodating during COVID times. We had to reschedule our wedding from July 2020 to May 2021 because of the pandemic and my dad passing from Stage 4 lung cancer it just allowed me to be in a better place mentally to actual be able to enjoy my day. If you want a beautiful venue and to do very little work to make it even more beautiful, pick DBW. Pay for the upgraded package for their decor rental and you''ll spend an hour picking out pinterest worthy items that have been proven to look good with their set up, and they even do all the work on the big day to stage the items for you. I literally just had to show up and give Julie the seating chart. That was the extent of my decorating. That's it. And it was GORGEOUS. We got so many compliments on the venue! Also, to double up on how little effort I had to really put in planning this reception, DBW's welcome package has a list of all their "preferred" vendors (which is mostly just vendors that have been there before and had a positive experience) and they were all high quality professionals. I went with everyone off their list except for flowers/hair/makeup and have no complaints! We definitely lucked out and had a beautiful day weather wise, which is great because DBW is a big property with a lot of space for guests to mingle outside. Part of the decor package is yard games, so we had cornhole, hammerschlagen, yard golf, various tables/chairs to sit and gather at, a smores bar/fire pit and if you ask nicely and Scott is in town, they'll even do a tractor ride (that you can take booze on!). They also have various horses and dogs (in pens) that are very friendly that guests can interact with. And they are very well behaved. My reception was very casual and whenever the guests that were interested in the dogs came up for pets, there was no jumping or anything. We didn't have a very hot day, but we still had the AC on. There's two AC units, but there's one that's directly on the dance floor and you better believe I incorporated dancing in front of it as a move because it was industrial strength and worked so well. The barn doors had to be closed to both keep the noise from the DJ as well as the cool air in but it was not a factor at all. Honestly if you work with contracts regularly DBW isn't really any different. Make sure you read over it/know about the early end time (1030pm roughly, but they want everyone out by 1100pm), the special event insurance, the special insurance if you don't go with their suggested DJ (we went with their recommendation, ZeroGravity/Jeff and he was great, also already has the insurance), the closing of the barn doors while music is on, what alcohol is included in the buyback plan (also just a heads up if you do open bar and you hit your limit that you prepaid for, you can keep a card open and they'll check in with you every $500 to see if you still want to keep it open. Wasn't an issue for us but definitely is considerate since booze adds up fast and some people don't realize once they've been drinking), and things like that. The contract makes it seem like they are sticklers but honestly Julie and Scott were a blast. They even worked super hard to make sure that I had enough space for a Big Buck Hunter game for my reception as well as any other things I had questions or suggestions on. Seriously, they were so easy to work with, cannot recommend DBW enough!

Overall, Dellwood Barn was a great venue and would highly recommend! Beautiful space! We got so many compliments on the venue, the outdoor space during the cocktail hour especially was a hit. One of the best parts for me as the bride was the decor package where Julie has a "pinterest room" where you can choose any of the decor that she has and DBW will set up and take down for you - this saved me SO much time and money during wedding planning! Julie was very helpful in planning the decor and keeping organized! She was also open to answering the (many) questions that we had. The animals on the property were also a big hit with both children and adults. Julie was also flexible with us - when she got our alcohol order wrong she gave us a keg of beer for free. Gave it 4 stars because there are a number of caveats in the contract that you need to be aware of before booking. For example, she has pretty strict policies on which alcohol she will buy back from you and which she will not, the DJ is required to have insurance and the doors have to be shut when playing music, you need to be out of the building by 11PM, etc. These items made it a bit of a hassle when planning and not always the most obvious in the contract. That being said would still recommend Julie, Scott, and the DBW crew!

We got married at dellwood this past summer and it was dream come true! My wife and I always wanted to have a barn wedding but this exceeded our expectations. One of the best parts was how easy the wedding planning process was. At this venue they have everything you need on site for decorations/ games etc... so you do not need to bring anything at all. At the end of the day you take your things and leave. The staff was amazing and they take care of everything you need throughout your big day. The land and barn make for great photos that will last a lifetime . Our guests also had a great day and keep telling us how great it was. We highly recommend getting married at this venue.

Julie / Scott & Dellwood Staff! Thank you so much for all of your help and efforts into making out wedding a dream come TRUE!! This year as been wild with COVID and planning and executing our wedding at DBW was as smooth as possible! We have not stopped getting compliments since our wedding about how great and perfect the day was, also how beautiful the event space is! The staff is amazing and puts up with every little request! Even running to the drug store for random things needed! We cannot thank you and your team enough!

Having our wedding at the Dellwood Barn was amazing! The property is absolutely beautiful! Our younger guests loved petting the dogs and horses that live right on the property! I loved that they have an enormous inventory of decor to rent for the ceremony and reception. By having nearly everything we needed for decorating available and on site took so much hassle out of our planning process and allowed us to focus on the other aspects of our day. Included with our package was an entire planning guide that helped us figure out the tiny details that otherwise would be forgotten that made for a stress-free day. Julie and all the staff were incredibly professional, accommodating, helpful and created the best experience for us and all our guests. I highly recommend anyone to consider this venue for their wedding.

I can not say enough great things about Dellwood Barns, they were so amazing. I am so happy we picked them. Julie and Scott the owners were so amazing, friendly fun and just made our wedding better than we could have even imaged. We got married during Covid, which adds a whole new level of stress on top of all the other wedding stress. Julie and Scott made everything simple and stress free made us relax and worked with us the whole step of the way. You must check them out you will not be wrong picking them as your vendor!

Dellwood Barn was the perfect place to have our barn wedding. Seeing all of the hard work the Dellwood team puts into making sure your wedding is exactly what you dream about was incredible! Being able to have your ceremony and reception have the flow of being indoor or outdoor, makes the guests feel like there is more than enough to do. I am very happy with how beautiful the day and venue came together!

Dellwood Barn is an amazing place for a wedding! After visiting six different venues, we knew immediately that this was the place for our daughter's wedding! First off, Julie, the owner, knows her STUFF! She gave us so many ideas and is extremely efficient with her communication and the day of the wedding, she and her staff NEVER stopped moving. She supported us every step of the way as she is an expert at weddings and it was new territory for us! The barn and grounds are beautiful! Her recommendations for caterers are spot on! I would recommend upgrading to the package that includes the decorations (you're not having to buy things you will use once and her selection is beyond amazing), yard games, S'mores station, infused water, and sparkler send off! They all offer such worry-free "extras" that everyone loved! Plus, with the outside wedding ceremony, Julie has her eye on the weather at all times. If needed they would have moved the ceremony inside at no extra cost. She and her venue are top-notch! I'm saddened that our time with Julie is over. She really became a friend! PS Air conditioning in the barn and no extra cost for ceremony chairs which many venues charge $5 per chair! If you're looking for a stress-free wedding venue- look no further! Thank you, Julie and Dellwood Barn Staff (especially her wonderful daughter)! Kris and Mike

Gorg Fall Wedding 5 star day! Beautiful ceremony and reception site with a lot of flexibility. Julie was very helpful through the whole wedding process and day of! She went out of her way to make sure that our day was special and amazing! The groom had family in from out of town, and even spent the evening at the barn to make sure everything went perfect for us. She stayed the whole evening she also made sure that we were WELL taken care of by his staff. The setting of the barn cannot even be described it is so great! Beautiful - a must see :) Horses and rolling hills in the background - during the ceremony on the hill! GORGEOUS! There are also tons of fun things to do on the farm and keeping your guests entertained! If you are considering the Dellwood Barn for your wedding day, I would without a doubt say to go for it!! We couldn't have asked for anything more!!

Beautiful venue & Incredible staff We had our wedding here Friday, August 2, 2019, and couldn't have been happier with the outcome. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, filled full of amenities and there was plenty of room for our 140+ guests. The grounds and barn itself are well cared for and the barn is a really great space for dinner and dancing. We received a ton of compliments on the venue itself from many of our guests. We signed up for the full rental package which was great because they provided a ton of decor, games, and things that you don't need to haul to the venue yourself or worry about packing up afterward. This made it really easy for the bride and me to leave when the party was over with minimal packing up and best of all NO CLEANUP! Julie and her staff were incredible to work with. Julie was in constant communication with us since the day we signed the contract and was available to answer questions and go over everything that may have arisen. She provided a Dropbox link full of resources such as vendors, hotels and shuttles, etc. which made it easy for us to keep things organized. Having the preferred vendor lists, as well as the ability to speak with Julie and get her input when questions arose really helped. Though the contract seemed overwhelming initially, in the end opting for the 'extra' package was totally worth the price, and thoroughly reading and clarifying the contract helped make sure we knew the additional costs from the beginning. The day of the wedding Julie was on site helping us set up, maintaining order and helping to man the bar. We later found out that she handled a ton of issues that arose without us even knowing about them which was amazing because we were able to focus on this day of celebration and enjoy our party and guests. All in all, its a beautiful place for a wedding and we would recommend it!

Absolutely perfect! The barn is rustic and unrefined in the most beautiful way possible. The outdoor ceremony site and grounds are immaculate and well laid out. The staff is attentive, detailed, flexible, and helpful. Highly recommend if you are planning a dream barn wedding!

Ok, read to the bottom of my review because I have a few reasons why this is the best venue ever! First of all, this venue is amazing. If you go see it you will fall in love. It's whimsical, romantic and rustic chic all in one! Seriously, dream barn venue. They have a wonderful package you can purchase that allows you to choose from their inventory of decor for your event. It seriously took away so much of the stress of planning! Their decor options were exactly what I had in mind and Julie, the owner, really knows how to help you choose the perfect decor! Now, speaking of Julie. She saved my wedding day. Seriously, she was wonderful! First of all, she knows her stuff, so anything that comes up on your big day she can pretty much handle. I suffer from Multiple Sclerosis as well as PTSD and big long events like this can be REALLY tough on me both emotionally and physically. During our cocktail hour I started having a lot of pain which caused a peak of anxiety for me. Julie handled it like a pro, she got me a quiet place to sit down, water, talked to my family to clue them in on what was going on AND made sure my guests were happy and the party continued on. She was amazing and eventually I was able to get back out there and enjoy the rest of the night after her words of encouragement and support and her steps she took to make me comfortable. Thank you Julie! If you are looking for a rustic chic, stunning and amazingly coordinated venue, look no further. Dellwood is the place for you!

My husband and I drove in from out of state to attend the wedding of my college roommate's daughter. I can not speak highly enough of the wedding facility and surrounding area! There was so much to do around White Bear Lake and Stillwater leading up to the wedding. Everyone is so nice in Minnesota! The Dellwood Barn is located in a serene and peaceful area just outside of town. It's a beautiful setting! The wedding on the hill, outdoor bar for cocktail hour, horses grazing in the pasture, air-conditioned barn, fabulous staff, and delicious catered food made for one of the best weddings I've ever attended. I'm so grateful we made the trip and will definitely be visiting the area again!

We later found out that she handled a ton of issues that arose without us even knowing about them which was amazing because we were able to focus on this day of celebration and enjoy our party and guests. There was an issue with Julie moving a child due to a safety concern (the child was reportedly sticking their hand in a fan, after reports of children being in the walkways and one child's hand being shut in a door) which has been stated by a guest review but we, as the bride and groom, fully agree with Julie the Owner on this matter as this is her business, her venue, and her home and it was our insurance liability! All in all, its a beautiful place for a wedding and we would recommend it!

My husband's brother had his wedding here. It's a gorgeous place for a wedding! The barn is air conditioned, which is great for summer weddings! The staff was kind and several interacted with my 5 children, even offering them bubbles to take home. The owner, Julie, however, is not a fan of kids. She yelled at my kids as well as the other kids there multiple times and even grabbed my 3 year old by the arm and yanked her. After that, I told her to talk to me if there was a problem with my kids (all under 8 years old), but that she was not to talk to them or touch them. She responded by saying she would have the officer on duty (also a nice guy) talk to them instead! So I made sure she understood that only I or my husband would be talking to them. If you plan on having kids at your wedding, pick a different place.

Dellwood Barn Weddings had far exceeded my expectations! I got married two weeks ago, and still have my friends and family calling/texting me with compliments on the beautiful venue! DBW had many different styles and layouts to choose from and we were able to let our imaginations run wild and truly put your own unique twist on what we envisioned for our big day. When I walked into the barn, on our wedding day, it was truly phenomenal and brought tears to my eyes. I truly want to thank Julie and all the team Dellwood for making our wedding ceremony and reception one of the most memorable, beautiful, perfect days of my life!

So friendly, accommodating, and most of all, delicious!! It was so much more interesting to have a whole dessert bar for our guests than just a cake. And we still cut a tiny cake as our "cake" cutting ceremony! They even included a small package of select items from our buffet for afterwards, which was SOOO nice because you so often never get to taste much of what was up there! A total hit.

Our daughter got married here June 2nd it was perfect! We loved the accommodations of the staff and how smooth the day ran. It did rain , but even so it was the most magical day that any of us could have dreamed of! When we didn't have enough vases, candles or directions the owner was right there to step in and help make sure everything was perfect! The bridal suites, barn, lights, tables & decorations were all perfect and everything the bride and groom wanted! We are so thankful for how great the wedding went!

Having my wedding at Dellwood was a dream! The venue is beautiful and all of the outdoor space for guests is great to have. One or the best things about Dellwood is the option to upgrade and be able to use decor from their rental room. I was able to use their cake and dessert stands, table decor, easels, table numbers, candles... Basically any decor you can think of, it's included in the package, it's amazing and such a great deal when you consider how much decor ends up costing. You will not regret using Dellwood as your venue!

This barn is so beautiful and elegant, but still rustic-- which is exactly what were looking for. The staff and owners were truly amazing, and did everything to make sure we had a perfect day. I was carefree the entire day and was able to enjoy every bit of our wedding day. We also chose this venue because there was a little bit of "something" for everyone at the venue. There was a fire pit, yard games, outdoor seating, indoor seating, outdoor bar, indoor bar and private area for the wedding party. I have been thinking about my wedding since I was a little girl and it turned out better than I could have ever imagined. I owe a huge THANK YOU to Julie @ Dellwood barn for making all of my dreams come true. The day ran so smoothly even though we had to deal with a little rain ;) You and your staff did everything to make sure we could still get married outside! I would highly recommend this venue for people looking for an outdoor rustic venue, but still want that elegant feel. I would also recommend hiring Julie as your "wedding coordinator" for your wedding day. She made sure I was always on top of things, had great suggestions and allowed me to not worry about a single thing on my wedding day!

So I want to start by saying that this venue is absolutely gorgeous. The property is stunning, especially in the fall when the leaves have started to turn. There's wide sweeping landscapes, beautiful trees, and the barn feel that makes for really wonderful photographs. The barn is cute and beautifully decorated with lights and some cute rustic decor. I do however have a couple criticisms. Julie is the venue owner and event coordinator, if you decide to higher her for that additional service, which aside from getting to have a rehearsal time at the venue (on the Thursday prior to your wedding) I couldn't really figure out what her coordination fee was covering, granted I was very organized and had lots of family and friends helping out so in retrospect I may have not needed the coordinator service. First, if you prefer communication via email I would advise choosing a different venue. Julie heavily prefers talking on the phone, and when I would try to communicate via email (to have a paper trail, and a place where all the information could be easily reviewed if needed since there were some discrepancies between her advertised rates and the rates in our contract--she corrected this when we pointed it out, but just something to keep an eye out for), her responses would be delayed and sometimes ignore questions entirely. She also complained to my Mother and Officiant at our rehearsal about how I preferred to communicate via email. I generally got the feeling that she didn't like me very much. She was also very hyper vigilant about items in the barn and the property, as well as quite rigid about many different things. She would not allow us to use plastic clips on the barn tables to hang flowers from, despite offering to cover the clips in felt or use a table cloth. She was also very reluctant to allow our ceremony musician (Laurie Leigh Harpist, who was phenomenal and will reduce her usual fee for this venue since she lives quite close) to use a heater during the outdoor ceremony despite it being ~45 degrees that day. She initially refused to allow the heater, but fortunately Laurie was able to talk her into it. She did not allow our hairdresser into the bridal suite even 10 minutes early to start setting up for everyone else's arrival at 9. The contract also stated that we needed to have all items vacated from the bridal suite and groom's room by 6:30pm, but when we arrived there was a note in the bridal room that we needed to have everything out of the room half an hour after the ceremony ended (which for us was 4pm instead of 6:30pm). This is a bit minor, but still would have been nice to know prior to arriving that day. Also note that they raise dogs on the property, and we found several piles of dog poop around when we were taking pictures around the property with our photographer and videographer. These weren't all in off the beaten path areas as well, there was one right in the path of the processional walking up the hill. Fortunately a kind groomsmen picked it up and threw it away before it caused any problems. Overall, I don't regret having booked this place. It was a beautiful day and the photographs we've seen so far all look amazing. I just wish I would have know some of these things before I had made my decision.

Dell wood made our day extremely easy! We were able to get ready, have the ceremony all in one location! Something we truly loved and made our wedding planning process so easy is their decoration package so I didn’t need to buy any decorations for the big day! They have a plethora of styles for you to chose from! Julie helped us make the day amazing/effortless and I will always recommend Dellwood to anyone looking to do a rustic wedding.

Julie and the Dellwood team are GODSENDS. From the moment we came from a tour to the thank you card a month after the wedding this journey with Dellwood was amazing. Julie broke everything down for us, made it easy and fun. The barn is incredible but the grounds are what make the day so versatile and enjoyable. We loved not having to make our own Pinterest decorations, but rather we just had to pick them out and set them up. You get EVERY penny of your money out of your day. We hired Julie to be our day of coordinator getting everything together for us, and aiding us in having the day run smoothe. We are so happy to be a Dellwood couple and would 10/5 stars get married here again. You won’t be disappointed!

We can’t thank you enough for making our Wedding Day dreams a reality!! Julie and her staff made the whole day/planning process incredibly easy, and stress free. We’ve received countless compliments on how beautiful the barn/property is, and what an amazing time they had attending. If you want an incredible wedding book here immediately! We are eternally grateful to Dellwood Barn Weddings for the best day of our lives. - The Pages

Dellwood Barn Weddings is such an amazing venue. We had our wedding there in July and our day was absolutely perfect. The staff made our day a breeze and we didn't have to worry about a thing, Julie and her team took over and helped with all the final details! I would highly recommend this venue and cannot thank them enough for making our day the BEST DAY EVER

Well, my fiancé and I booked with these guys because the property is absolutely beautiful. The ceremony that we pictured was perfect and the reception area was amazing. We ended up canceling towards the end because we couldn’t find a DJ that would play there because of their DJ contract. At the meeting they mentioned nothing about the DJ contract, but she said that we can have the music at 100 decibels. It isn’t very much but we were able to go through with it. Well, after looking and looking for a DJ , a friend of ours who is a DJ mentioned that the contract was 85 decibels with no subs, and that the barn doors needed to be closed when the music is playing and every 45 min the doors needed to open while the music stops so everyone could get fresh air. There are even previous reviews of DJ’s getting in trouble because they have it a little louder than they are supposed because guests can’t hear it or neighbors complaining about the volume. The DJ contract is a joke. The last DJ we found said that he would do our wedding but because of how low the music had to be, he said it’s not going to be that entertaining.

My name is Nicole and I am a professional wedding photographer with Little Mac Design and I absolutely LOVED working with Julie at this venue! This venue is amazing beautiful and working with the Julie was a piece of cake as she made everything easy when it came time to coordinating shots for the wedding I shot there for Carly & Patrick this last May of 2018. I look forward to shooting at this venue again and working with Julie again someday! If you are looking for an amazing Barn Venue, Dellwood is the perfect place for a wedding! ~ Nicole Engstrom of Little Mac Design

My rave reviews of Dellwood Barn Weddings are never ending.... ! The venue is absolutely perfect for a wedding/reception. The owners are wonderful to work with Julie and her staff couldn't have been more helpful through the whole process! . My family flew in from out of state for the wedding and when they heard the reception was at a farm some of them were interested in what this would be like. However, by the end of the night, even the most skeptical guest told my husband and I , it was the best wedding they had been to because of the beauty of this historic barn/farm! . Our guests with children also loved Dellwood Barn Weddings because their kids had tons of space to play, see animals and explore the farm, they even got a tractor ride at sunset! It wasn't like a normal venue where they are indoors and locked in their seat... with nothing to do and becoming bored easily. We loved how the barn connected to the cocktail/bar area. Whether guests preferred to be at the bar or on the dance floor, with the barn doors open, it felt like everyone was together. I could go on and on about how great our wedding day was!! I feel truly blessed for having the opportunity to have our ceremony & reception at the farm. As many of our guests told us how wonderful their experience was at Dellwood Barn weddings. Thanks again to Julie for making our dreams come true!

We got married two summers ago at Dellwood Barn Weddings on July 1st! It really was the perfect day that we dreamed of for so long. The venue was the perfect place to have an outdoor themed wedding during the summer months in Minnesota. It was great weather so guest were able to enjoy the outdoor activities...lawn games, cocktail hour outside and after dinner we had a bonfire with s'mores! This farm is friendly family owned and all of the employees make you feel like you're at home and welcomed whenever you are on the farm. Needless to say everything about our wedding went off without a hitch here. From the planning to the day off set up, ceremony, cocktail hour, and then dinner/dance! We would highly recommend this barn to anyone in search for a barn wedding!

This barn and venue is truly amazing, I cannot tell you how much we loved it! They'll do everything in their power to make sure your day is exactly how you dream and hope for. I was very carefree the entire day! Everything was taken care of and I could soak in every moment of my big day. My new husband and I were able to focus on what was most important to us on our wedding day. The guests all loved the venue and it's such an incredible experience being there is no drive time or time to kill because everything is right there, on one property! The people that work there are amazing and kind; professional and well experienced. If I could have another wedding it would be here :)

Barn with a charm is exactly what I got here when we had our wedding. Dellwood Barn Weddings made all of our dreams come true! From the reception outside , cocktail hour with lawn games and great drinks! After that we went inside the barn for our reception! It was a perfect spring day with great weather. Everyone fit inside the barn which was great, everyone was able to see the dance floor, chat with guests or hang outside by the fire! Overall our whole day went as planned and ran smooth with the whole staff! I would highly recommend this venue.

Beautiful property, but in my opinion, awful customer service. It was odd to me that Julie treats people the way she does. She appears to not be customer oriented. I wish I would have listened to the one star reviews here. If the barn was run with a sense of customer service, the place would be great. Overall, I would choose a different place if it meant having to deal with the same staff.

My husband Rick and I could not be more happy and satisfied with out experience at Dellwood Barn. Everything was so easy, from the day we signed the contract (which we loved how well it explained everything, it kept expectations very clear for us on how to plan for a wedding at this venue). Julie and her staff worked their butts off to make sure our day was more than perfect, I do not even think the owner sat down once during our wedding day--that is how dedicated she is. Our favorite part (outside of the beautiful barn) was the rental decor company and wedding day coordinator services on-site. I was able to make my decoration dreams come true with their lanterns, lace, burlap, chalkboards, lawn games, and tea lights (I could keep listing what we picked but I will stop there). The wedding coordinator service allowed my family and friends to enjoy our wedding day rather than executing and being in charge of all the details no one wants to do when they are a guest at a wedding. I would not change anything about our wedding day! I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a barn wedding that offers tons of on-site services! THANK YOU DELLWOOD FOR MAKING RICK AND I's wedding dreams come to LIFE!!!!!

This venue was so amazing and beautiful. My husband and I are very happy with how our wedding turned out. Julie and Stephanie were so helpful and amazing throughout the whole process. My father had passed away during the planning of the wedding and I just emotionally couldn’t get excited or focused Knowing that my father couldn’t walk me down the isle. Stephanie was so encouraging and helpful I just don’t know what I would have done without her. They made this experience so easy and smooth for us. I highly recommend Dellwood barns. They have made this such a wonderful experience for us and we are just so truly greatful.
