Green Acres Event Center

y food that was edible was the pizza (which we got). The person that was in charge of the tasting had a really bad attitude and made everyone at the tasting uncomfortable. That was pretty much the only bad thing but the venue itself was stunning, I can’t recommend them enough!

g day. Our guests raved about how perfect the venue was for our guest count (110 guests) and how beautiful it was. Huge thanks to Brooke and Green Acres for everything! Our day was perfect!

time the night before the wedding to bring in decor/do a ceremony walkthrough outside & providing expert guidance (wedding that night had been cancelled!). The outdoor ceremony space is gorgeous, the upstairs reception area is dreamy, and even if you're not a big rustic barn person (I'm not), the chandeliers and vaulted ceilings put the interior of Green Acres in a unique class all its own. My one note for future couples would the VIP room; it's small and is not the best for storage/hanging out with your bridal party. Just be sure to plan ahead if you have a lot of things to bring with you, and if you plan to do getting ready photos on premises.

and special! I would recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for a more modern barn wedding. The outdoor ceremony space is gorgeous and well-kept. I also received so many compliments about their catering partner so I definitely recommend going with one of their 5 options.

s, and everything. She was very responsive to emails as well.

f the barn (which is gorgeous) and received a ton of compliments. The room flip, which I was hesitant about, went super smoothly during happy hour. And the location in Eden Prairie was super convenient for everyone. We are so happy with our experience and can’t thank the staff at Green Acres enough.

out how beautiful our wedding was and how unique the venue is! It is beautiful all on its own and didn’t need much for decor which also helped take a lot of stress off me the day of!

iful with the chandeliers and large windows for natural light. The venue manager, Brooke, made the process very seamless and helped with any questions along the way. I highly recommend checking out this venue on your search - you will be wowed for sure!

es. This was one of the more beautiful venues we looked at, yet it was somehow the most affordable we were seriously considering. They had a few catering options to choose from, and Green Mill was OUTSTANDING! We received so many comments on how it was the best wedding food people have ever had. Highly recommend a buffet style catering from Green Mill. I again cannot emphasize enough how helpful the staff at Green Acres were ,and accommodating just about any request we had, if not compromising and making it work as best as possible. The picture spots on site were also gorgeous, even though it is nestled into a "big city." It was an added bonus that pets are allowed, so we had our dog join us outdoors to visit guests and take sunset photos. Anytime I reached out for a question or request, I was surprised every time with how quick the communication was, and how accommodating they were. We also received many comments on how beautiful the venue was. If you don't want to spend lots of time, stress, and money decorating a venue, pick Green Acres! It is beautiful the way it is. I am so thankful we decided on this venue and we would do it over many more times if we had to!

d already has a lot of decor so not much is needed to decorate the upstairs of the barn. All our guests loved the barn and had a great experience.

through, and on the day of. Brooke was BEYOND amazing, and responded promptly to emails and questions. She was an absolute dream to work with and went above and beyond with her customer service. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND booking this venue for your wedding!

elegant feeling of the barn. Our wedding was perfect and Green Acres Barn contributed to that.

tting a new date set up. I had so many questions and they were amazing with answering all of them and in a timely manner! As the date got closer, Brooke was great with communication! Day of was stressful just because of wanting to make sure everything went smooth, but Brooke was amazing with helping in any and all aspects, making the day go very smooth! The venue is absolutely beautiful! We got so many compliments on it. I wish we could be there regularly!

edding, I had three different coordinators and that was a bit overwhelming and exhausting for me, especially on my wedding day. It was a beautiful venue nonetheless and I will recommend it to others.

utely fantastic, and ensured everything about our day was seamless. Our guests loved the beauty and rustic elegance of the venue, the wood-burning fireplace and fire pit to roast marshmallows, and fun and whimsical decor throughout. Our sincere gratitude goes out to Green Acres and all of their staff for exceeding our expectations.

oolest venue they’ve been to. Brooke the on-site coordinator is the best! She made me feel completely at ease and helped with so much on the day!

g to work with us and our photographer for the perfect shots. Overall we had a great experience through the entire process and highly recommend this venue to any couple!

cres! Just so stunningly beautiful. We worked with Brooke and we cannot say enough amazing things about her. She is the kind of person that you hope would be your point of day person. So helpful, so kind, so sweet! I could go on and on about how grateful we are to have had her help. We highly recommend Green Acres to anyone who is looking to plan a beautiful event!

rn was the entire night, and we loved the eclectic rustic vibe. Truly could not have been better.

Btw all the guests kept raving to me on how beautiful the venue was! Also a big bonus is that they constantly work with the vendors and so they are able to make everything run smoothly!

d time to take a nap before the party! So many guests commented on the great food and the beautiful setting! A great experience working with Green Acres Event Center!

nter are also incredible and were so easy to work with. The space is 2 floors plus an outdoor area, so it feels big but also it can be set up to feel more intimate if you wish. I cannot recommend this place enough, it is truly an amazing place for a wedding!

husband and I. With it's upstairs, downstairs and outside space there is something for everyone.

They also have a venue coordinator who helped with so many different things. This was the perfect place to get married!

ly nice to have, especially since COVID precautions were still in place and we wanted everyone to feel safe and able to space out if they needed to. So many people raved about Amber and the rest of the staff and how hospitable they were throughout the night. Amber checked on my husband and I so many times to see if we needed anything, including food which was much appreciated. Such a fun environment and space for a wedding! We would not have changed a thing.

y provide. The decor is great and the barn itself is breathtaking! I will definitely continue to recommend and book this venue for my own events.

bout ceremony location due to weather (we lucked out, and our ceremony was outdoors & the storms held off until everyone was inside for dinner). I was able to completely trust that they would take care of everything, and focus on the day. Everyone is completely professional, accommodating, and lovely to work with! We 100% recommend having your wedding here. As for safety, I was so happy and relived to know that not one single person who attended has gotten sick in the 2 months following our wedding. My mom who was undergoing chemo for breast cancer and my 91 year old grandmother were my primary concerns, but both insisted on attending. We had masks & hand sanitizer, and of course the event center had several policies in place regarding sanitization. Unfortunately, my husband's father was unable to travel from California due to health issues, but he was able to be on Facetime on an iPad for the whole ceremony, and throughout the reception. I'm not sure this could have been accomplished so effortlessly at other venues, and am so glad we had our wedding at Green Acres. Because of the venue and the staff, my husband and I are able to recall our wedding day and think only of the joy we had- and not about any issues or worries we thought would be on our minds.

cres to other couples.

t of the celebration! Thank you to Green Acres!

s!

mfortable with. Our wedding day was absolutely beautiful, too! We were able to have an outdoor ceremony, which was covered by trees and GREEN. So beautiful. We were able to get SO many good photos as well -- there are great spots for photos! Seriously recommend this venue! We even got married on a non-traditional day (Thursday), which made it super affordable for us. Cannot recommend this place highly enough!

such a busy day. They work extremely well with not only the couple, but the vendors as well. They work as a team. Their venue is located in an easily accessible area and is just beautiful. I can't wait to work there again. :)

nough good things about Green Acres and the staff - our family wanted to take Amber home with us! Truly, such sweet people and so very accommodating, when we wanted yet another walk through. They understand what it takes to put on a wedding and were there to guide us and help in any way possible. The wedding for our daughter was perfect in many ways mostly in part to this venue and the lovely people that work here.

ved SO many compliments on how awesome the space was! The barn has two levels and enough outside space to spread out, which was really nice during COVID. Amber was also incredible to work with- She kept us updated on COVID precautions as our date was approaching and was quick to respond to any concerns/questions. Our day really was perfect- and we owe a lot of that to Green Acres and Amber- We would definitely recommend them!

e with everything going on right now.

nabled our day to go smoother and make it more enjoyable. She felt like a part of the team and a part of our family event.

ole vibe of the place. It was worth every penny.

kept the property very clean! Our guests enjoyed making s’mores by the fire, loved how beautiful the barn was, and thought the ceremony site was gorgeous! My new Hubby and I HIGHLY recommend Green Acres! They helped us make our Perfect Day one we will never forget!

ove. Thank you to everyone involved in helping us as we planned this wedding from out of state. The food was absolutely amazing (our photographer even mentioned it is the best food she has had at a wedding, and she has been to a lot of weddings!) There was not one second of the day that I felt stressed or anxious because the folks at the venue took care of every little detail to keep the day running smoothly. I highly, highly recommend Green Acres Event Center!

oyous experience! We were able to use all of the spaces Green Acres offers – lawn games in the outdoor space, cocktail hour in the charming lower level and dinner and dancing in the stunning upstairs area, complete with multiple chandeliers and wood accents! It was a very warm day (95º) and the air conditioning was truly appreciated! From our initial inquiry to answering our countless questions to the actual wedding day details, Green Acres was responsive to our every request and need! Lauren and her team were a joy to work with and our guests continue to rave about it all! Thank you, Green Acres, for setting the stage for a magical day our families will cherish forever!

tation. I just got engaged and if we still lived in the area, we would have had our wedding here in a heartbeat!!!

the food tasted. We wish we could celebrate our day all over again at Green Acres!

n was amazing during our planning and on the day of the wedding she helped everything run smoothly! Would recommend this venue to all my friends!

y recommend Green Acres for a wedding! You won't regret it!

. I was impressed with how fast the staff members got back to us with phone calls and emails during the planning process. Would highly recommend!

k care of a lot of the “little” details a bride doesn’t want to deal with! Everyone was so sweet and helpful, they helped us make this the best day ever!!

us and created the cozy wintery vibe we were going for. The windows and chandeliers create a warm and desirable look. We received a lot of positive feedback on the venue, decorations, and the atmosphere. I love all the various areas we were able to use for pictures as well. The outdoor firepit added to the cold evening. Lauren was great to work with. She was quick to respond to communication, answered all questions thoroughly, and assisted with making our wedding day run smoothly. There were no hidden costs and everything was upfront. Overall it was a smooth process.

t was that there was a second area for wedding party - was hard to coordinate the bride and groom not seeing each other. Everyone is still talking about what a spectacular venue and party it was.

ber wedding and she really helped us through everything. All the staff we worked with were extremely helpful and professional! We HIGHLY recommend this venue for weddings and other occasions. Thanks again Green Acres staff!

ng and efficient and the food was absolutely wonderful. The venue manager was awesome and any questions that we had on the day of the wedding were all answered and taken care of. Everything went better than anyone could have imagined. I am helping a friend with venues for their wedding, and Green Acres Barn is already on their tour list!!!

he dancers, the kids, and everyone in between kept saying what a blast they were having. Lauren, was great to work with. She was knowledgeable, upbeat, and understanding. I'm the self proclaimed worst bride ever, and she was able to make feel like I was nailing this whole wedding planning thing. The team was so great at setting up and taking down, and were able to do it in a way where no one noticed or was inconvenienced. The outdoor area for the ceremony was perfect for our 7 minute ceremony. The guests LOVED the secret room. The upstairs is beautiful and spacious . I could go on and on, but I'll spare you. If you are looking for a fun venue in convenient locations, go here. I loved it and I'm sad it is over.

outdoor space as well. The kids absolutely loved all the cows around and so many people complimented us on the venue location, atmosphere and how much they loved it. The outdoor ceremony space was perfect as well. Could not have asked for a better for venue for rustic elegance but also an atmosphere that lends itself to having a good time! Highly recommend!

answered my many emails with question after question, and was flexible with our random requests (like saving a few handicapped/reserved parking spots for specific guests, helping set up our centerpieces so my parents didn’t have to, etc.). Seeing our reception vision put to life with centerpieces and flowers, surrounded by our 200 guests, was the best sight to see! Green Acres provided such a unique setting to our day that our guests couldn’t stop talking about. I wish I could do it all over and over again!

ir outdoor space. We loved the uniqueness of the venue and guests enjoyed it as well! Lauren was very easy to communicate with, quick with responding, and very accommodating with some of our requests.

de already that we didn't need to do much. Our guests loved the venue as well!! So many options for pictures on site and great lighting upstairs. It was a beautiful memorable day!! We recommend Green Acres to anyone looking for a barn, vintage wedding 😊

y eclectic venue.

g planning process and on the wedding day.

were very professional! We will definitely choose this venue again for our upcoming Corporate Events!! THANK YOU!

ny, dinner and reception and there was plenty of space and we did not feel cramped. My hope was that our guests felt comfortable, welcome, ate good food and had a memorable experience - we absolutely accomplished this with Green Acres and Sterling Catering. The only limitation I would say with this venue is if you are over 150 guests you may feel cramped and you may have a different experience. This venue was PERFECT for us and we appreciated that we did not need to spend any money on uplighting/draping/etc to spruce up the place... it's already gorgeous and adding too much decor would have distracted from the investment in the venue itself. Keep it simple and go with Green Acres!

ering for our food (recommended by Green Acres) and our guests kept coming up to us telling us how wonderful the food tasted! The venue is very elegant with rustic charm and everything went off without a hitch (that I know of :)) You will not be disappointed when you choose this venue!

ng was spelled out up front, no surprises, and it went off seamlessly and perfectly on our big day. The reception dinner was terrific and the staff prompt and efficient, and the dancing and partying after the ceremony was off the hook great. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending this venue -- book it you won't be disappointed.

responsive and accommodated every request we had to make the day perfect. Our guests loved the outdoor area and all of the unique surprises inside! Food was phenomenal and the desserts went in the blink of an eye. Truly a magical place!

't happen. Leading up to our wedding; the manager, Lauren and our caterer Andrea were the most helpful, kind and patient people you will ever work with. They were always available to help. They have an open house most Wednesdays unless there is an event and that helped a lot when it came to space planning, wedding rehearsal and timing. If you want a turnkey barn wedding with a quirky and charming decor this is the space for you. My husband and I only had to worry about the center pieces and any additional wants on our end but the rest was taken care of by Green Acre decor wise. This space and their staff will allow you and your guests to enjoy yourselves. Instead of running around stressed and unable to even eat your own food or have fun, you and your guests will have the time of your lives. Honestly, the only thing I was stressed about was my wedding toast. The night of the Wedding and Reception was spectacular, both of our families said, hands down, by far it was the best wedding they had ever been to and it was because of the venue and the food. The food catered through Sterling was awesome; great tasting, perfectly proportioned, everyone kept complimenting the Tenderloin and the mashed potatoes. Each and everyone of the staff that helped us that night were so nice, open and kind. It really meant a lot when not only our guests but the staff congratulated us afterwards. It was a real pleasure working with everyone with Green Acre, and it was very bittersweet when we had to leave. I really didn't want to! Thank you, thank you, thank you for making our night simply magical.
