The staff, Stacey in particular is absolutely wonderful. She responds in a timely manner, has lots of patience, and just made the planning process feel stress free. The venue is gorgeous. I love how many options there are with this venue. The pricing is VERY reasonable, I actually think it’s cheaper than a lot of other venues. The food is incredible. If I got to do it all again, I’d do it at the Heritage Center again.

My husband and I got married here last weekend and I have to say, I’m overly impressed with the way this place operates. The planner we worked with, Connor, felt like family the moment we walked in for our tour. Through the planning process, HCBC made all the choices easy and really took a load off my shoulders as the bride. They were also very flexible which was appreciated. I highly recommend HCBC! Great pricing, friendly and attentive staff, quick response times AND quality meals for your guests ❤️ I wish I could get married twice because I want to find a reason to go back. Until I figure out another reason to come back, I will continue to recommend HCBC to others in hopes they book their wedding there, too!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Heritage Center and had a fantastic experience! The second we walked in the door for our tour we felt comfortable and after meeting Connor Egan, Sales Manager, we were sold. Connor is exceptionally kind, welcoming, down to earth and truly on top of her game. Heritage Center and Connor covered all of our wants and helped us stay on track and organized throughout the whole process. Each and every staff member was helpful and respectful which really helped to put us at ease on the day of our big day. We would have another big event just to work with Heritage Center and Connor again!

This was the best venue from beginning to end, the planning staff was amazing, the event staff felt like they were apart of the guests which made it so much better, they were kind and caring, they went out of their way to make it a fun and exciting day, from offering water and to the kind comments, to serving us with absolute love and being exactly who we needed them to be. They could not have done anything different.. from the planners to the security staff even the grounds crew.. each and every one of you made this day the perfect day!!

All of the staff at the Heritage Center we great to work with, especially our consultant Stacey! Our ceremony on the Courtyard and reception in the Garden City Ballroom were both beautiful; I highly recommend! In late September, all of our outdoor photos were beautiful as all the leaves were turning colors. Our guests had nothing but positive things to say!

Our wedding reception in the Garden City Ballroom for around 200 guests with buffet dinner was a big success!!! Our sales coordinator Stacey was patient with the zillion questions we had and our captains Rita and Debbie made sure all was executed to plan. The food was delicious and we received tons of compliments from our guests. I am still dreaming of the vegan chocolate truffles —they were amazing.
The plentiful parking and proximity of Embassy and Fairfield hotels added a lot of convenience for our out-of-town guests.
We are pleased that we used this venue and would highly recommend it to others.

I could not be happier with my experience at The Heritage Center! My wedding reception was beautiful and went so smoothly. It was an absolute pleasure working with our coordinator, Ali, who was attentive, flexible, and so very considerate. She is so on top of everything and genuinely cared about giving us the perfect wedding we envisioned. I would absolutely recommend this venue and working with her! Our reception captain, Debbie, was also super amazing and kept everything running perfectly. The whole staff was exceptional. Our guests kept raving about the appetizers, meals, and desserts the Heritage Center provided. I have never tasted wedding food that good! The bar and bartender was awesome - there were so many more options than I am used to being offered at other weddings. The grounds and the room we booked photographed beautifully for our fall wedding, and we were allowed to add our own personal style to the room as well. Wouldn’t change a thing about these wonderful people!

Where to begin?? Ali Beadle walked us through our entire experience planning and carrying out my daughter’s wedding on September 24, 2022. How she maintains her genuine interest and enthusiasm for the many brides and mothers of the brides, as if theirs was THE wedding of the season, is beyond me! But, boy, did she do it! Professional and easygoing at the same time, she guided the process but let this be OUR event. I was frustrated that I had been unable to trim the menus to fit on the plates and she simply whisked them off the plates and said, “I have a paper cutter. I’ll do it!” Customer service at its best, and this an hour before the ceremony!! The courtyard is charming, an absolutely lovely venue for an outdoor wedding. The food is out of this world, oh my gosh!! From the hors d’oeuvres to the cake, nothing was bland or blasé! Simply a fabulous meal - I heard guests commenting about it to one another. And the wait staff was professional, efficient and helpful. They executed the entire event seamlessly. I give Earle Brown Heritage Center my highest recommendation! You can’t go wrong. And if finances are a consideration, they are MUCH more reasonable than other venues I looked at. An ALL-around win!

We had our wedding here September 3, 2022. Ali was our Coordinator and she’s awesome to work with. Everyone is so nice and helpful. The venue is beautiful with all the trees and fountains. I would definitely recommend if you’re going to have a Fall wedding this is the place to have it. The food is delicious, they’re very accommodating and the other thing is the hotel is attached to their building so your guests don’t have to walk outside. Our guests were all from out state and they loved everything about it. Our wedding was absolutely magical! ♥️⛲️💍

We loved having our wedding at the Heritage Center of Brooklyn Center. The courtyard is beautiful, and we had lawn games outside right after the ceremony and into the evening. Planning with Stacey was fun and she was very helpful and walked us through the whole process. The food was also amazing. Could not have asked for a better venue, and we received many compliments from our guests on the venue. There are two hotels right next door. Highly recommend!

We loved working with the Heritage Center for our wedding - the staff is so responsive, the space is beautiful, and the food is very good! Our outdoor ceremony by the fountain was so elegant and we loved that guests could easily migrate to the Captain's Room for our reception.
Many people set a low bar for wedding food, but the quality is actually quite good at the Heritage Center. We had some guests tell us it was the best wedding food they ever had. The way the tasting was set up was really fun and gave us inspiration for decor.
An additional perk to the venue is location. Despite being in the city, it feels quite quaint and secluded. There are two hotels within walking distance where we organized room blocks and this was so appreciated by our guests.
Ali Beadle was wonderful to work with and made us feel like we were always in good hands, there was not a single issue with the execution of our perfect day!

So Covid is a thing...but EBHC and their staff were better than that. We had scheduled our time at EBHC for sometime in may and and but then Covid happened and of course we had to cancel/postpone our celebration. We were prepared to eat some cost given that most places would only refund 50% or none at all but we spoke with Darilyn Belsheim and she informed us that EBHC would refund a 100% of our payment given the circumstance. We were absolutely delighted and were so happy that EBHC could do that for us. Darilyn was supportive throughout the entire process and communicated in a very timely manner. I appreciated her support and openness to direct us through the process!
We will be using Earle Brown for our future wedding when we feel its safe to celebrate!

Everything went perfectly. There were 2 other wedding that day and everything went so smoothly. they were able to accommodate my vegetarian and my sisters vegan diets with really good meal options. I always feel like when I've gone to other wedding the vegetarian meals were very bland. We had a lot of out of town guests so it was great that this venue was attached to a hotel. I'm very glad we went with this venue.

The venue was beautiful and the food was amazing. We had such a wonderful experience through the whole planning process. My only complaint is the day of coordinator was not really there. I rented mirrors and votives for my center pieces the day of they couldn’t find the mirrors and when they did a couple hours later a staff member brought the mirrors in with windex and paper towels so they had to clean them all before they could use them and they had to reset all the center pieces because they were done except the mirrors. I never received the votives and candles so we were short. This was a much added stress on the morning of my wedding and took way longer than it should have to set up. Everything else was beautiful. If you are thinking of using them be careful about renting from them.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Earle Brown in September. The location is beautiful with ample photo locations. The positives of this location were: prompt service, beautiful location, set up was excellent, and food/drinks were wonderful! The negatives were lack of communication from the day of coordinator. I had to contact this person to give me a time estimate of when our chairs/arch would be set up so my florist could begin and lack of communication when we came together to begin the ceremony. I was expecting better communication on the day of. All in all, these negatives did not outweigh the positives, but keep them in mind.

I am so happy I booked through the Earle Brown Heritage Center. They were able to do so much for me on my wedding day so I didn't have to worry about having so many different vendors. EBHC did catering, rentals, liquor, ceremony, ceremony decorations, our center pieces for the reception. We really only had to get a photographer and a DJ and that's it! I planned a wedding from afar so I cannot emphasize how helpful all of this was. They also assign you a planner. On the big day, all of their staff was so helpful and nice. There's also a nice hotel that's connected by a walkway. I would 100% book through them again if I had to do it all over :)

We went with Earle Brown for both our ceremony and reception--with an outdoor ceremony by their small (and adorable) fountain, and an indoor reception in the Garden City Ballroom. We were planning our wedding from out of town, and everyone we emailed and called was wonderful--our wedding coordinator, Samantha Petterson answered all of our questions quickly and professionally, and we felt completely at ease booking with them without visiting in person. The food was excellent--our guests really loved the potsticker hors d'ouvres and the mushroom ravioli entree! On the day of the wedding, everyone on staff was so kind and helpful, and really helped to make our day run smoothly. So, thank you so much for being awesome!
If you're looking for an awesome venue with lots of different photo ops outdoors with a slightly rustic country feel without going too far out of the city in Minnesota, I'd definitely recommend Earle Brown--they also have ample parking spaces, and are easy to get to. (and excellent customer interaction, but I think I've already said that a ton!)

Earle Brown Heritage Center made our day absolutely amazing. The venue itself was beautiful, as was the reception venue, and it had lots of rural charm with the convenience of being in an urban area. Desiree was so wonderful in keeping us on track for the wedding without being pushy, and during the day of, made sure everything was perfect for us. Every single person on staff was kind and helpful, and with tons of wedding experience as a venue, they were able to adjust on the fly as needed (served dinner early because pictures went more quickly than expected, brought out extra food during cocktail hour, monitored the weather so they could pull the wedding inside if needed...) I cannot recommend them enough!!

I have to make sure I rave about the food! Our family and friends are still exclaiming how the food was the best they have ever received at a wedding reception and no one went home hungry or dissatisfied (even our vegan friends). We looked into Earle Brown from having attended a reception there a couple years before ours, and we were more than pleased with how Earle Brown handled our wedding reception from the initial planning with Tami and Desiree to the execution of our event. Desiree was incredibly responsive to our questions and requests through the entire planning process. During our reception, the staff were very friendly and accommodating, checking in often to make sure things were going as my husband and I wanted. We didn't even notice that there were several other wedding receptions going on in the other halls and there was ample parking. If I were to plan another wedding (as a MOH, my husband is a keeper for life!), I would recommend Earle Brown all the way.

The site is beautiful but more than that, the staff members are just wonderful. Tami, I am so grateful to you for your prefessionalism, advice, words of wisdom, for answering all my questions, setting my mind at ease and for planning a great wedding for me. I love your positivity and enthusiasm. Then, I was handed over to Desiree who completed the planning which resulted in what I would call a perfect wedding. The Captain's room was magnificient, the food scrumptious - my guests cannot stop talking about the food. Thank you so much. Jennifer, I will miss you. I enjoyed talking to you and love your positive energy. I am so grateful to all of you. We would choose you again and again....

From our first contact with Tami at EB, our experience was awesome. I live in TX and was planning an out of town wedding, so the panic was real. Tami, Sam, Desiree were all there to help us through every step of the way. They are a fantastic team and answered all my questions. The day of the wedding was even more phenomenal with Sam on site helping, reassuring. Our bartender was fabulous, food was a buffet, delicious and filling. Our appetizers were top notch. We had the most amazing experience with everyone at the venue. I would 100% recommend EB. They are so professional and really know their jobs. A million thanks for truly making my daughter and her fiancé the ‘best day ever.’

Earle Brown Heritage Center is a well-oiled machine when it comes to weddings. Our Catering Manager, Desiree, was super organized and knew all the answers to our detailed questions, even before we came up with them. We ended up having our outdoor ceremony rained out and were forced to move indoors. Earle Brown quickly assembled a designated separate indoor ceremony space for our wedding. The guests were so impressed they had no idea we originally planned to be outside. The Harvest Room was intimate, but still was spacious enough for our guests to feel comfortable and mingle. We received many rave reviews about the buffet and the staff's service. We especially appreciated Erik, who hand-delivered me some appetizers while I was fixing my dress during cocktail hour. What a great venue!

We could not be more pleased with our experience at Earle Brown. Everyone we worked with (particularly Tami in sales, and Desiree as our event planner) was always friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. Communication was always prompt and to the point, and there was nothing that they wouldn't do to help you have the day of your dreams. My husband in particular was impressed at the high level of service for what we felt were extremely reasonable prices, and I loved that I never had to worry about anything because Desiree was always on top of things and handled everything so efficiently. We also chose Earle Brown for the convenience of having a hotel attached for out of town guests, and tons of easy and free parking for our guests. The grounds are beautiful and provided plenty of gorgeous backdrops for photos (and the ceremony, which we did outside in front of the smaller fountain). We are just very impressed at smoothly our wedding and reception went because of the work of Desiree and the rest of the staff at Earle Brown.

When we started looking for our perfect wedding venue we really had a hard time getting all the boxes checked on what we wanted. Everywhere was either too expensive or too small etc. The day we discovered Earle Brown was one of the best feelings in our whole wedding process, when we walked in we immediately said "where do we sign the paperwork?!" This place had it all, from character to location being right next to an embassy suites for convenience for all your guests and the prices were unbeatable. We kept thinking whats the catch? But there isn't one! Earle Brown Heritage Center truly made our wedding spectacular. The staff was wonderful to work with and the food was great! This venue is unique and great for both summer and winter weddings as well. Ours in particular was in January and we had such fun snowy pictures with the red barn accents in the background it was wonderful. Overall we had such a great experience and I would give two big thumbs up for Earle Brown Heritage Center!

Couldn't have been more PERFECT!!! We had our wedding reception at Earle Brown Heritage Center in July 2017. It was the perfect set-up: good location and super close to our church, plenty of free parking, connected to a hotel, pretty grounds, and had a super big space that we could make it how we wanted. We were in the Carriage Hall and it was absolutely beautiful and incredible!! They have a huge patio that is connected to this space which we also used for our reception outside space. It was a beautifully perfect day and night and the patio was well used and so many of our guests commented on what a great space it was! When I stepped inside the Carriage Hall for our grand entrance, I was blown away! - everything came together even more beautiful than I dreamed of! We worked primarily with Tammy and Cyrese. They were both super nice, helpful, responsive and so great at helping us all along the way to bring everything we asked for to life! All of the staff were very nice and helpful. The food was amazingly delicious and many of our guests commented on how great the food was. The outside grounds at Earle Brown are so pretty -
it made for perfect photos and we really didn't even have to go anywhere else to take photos, there are so many great photo backdrops and spots on the grounds that you can use throughout the day of your wedding. There is actually 1 bridal loft at Earle Brown next to the Carriage Hall that we were lucky enough to be able to use. I highly recommend asking for this if you have your wedding here, it was the perfect place my my bridesmaids and I to get ready the morning of. Thank you Earle Brown for giving us the perfect day that we will cherish forever! It really was our fairy tale wedding come true!

Cyrese and staff were absolutely wonderful and did an excellent job making our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding day so special and successful. From our first trip to Earle Brown to our last guest leaving for the evening, they took such good care of us. The decorations were as beautiful as the ballroom. They provided a ballroom to us in the event of rain since ours was scheduled outside. The food was excellent quality, delicious and hot when served. Forrester and his staff were professional and friendly, attentive to all the guests needs. Our guests commented on how nice it was! Thank you again, we highly recommend you. Keep up the Great Work!

From our first trip to Earle Brown to our last guest leaving for the evening, they took such good care of us. The decorations were as beautiful as the ballroom. They provided a ballroom to us in the event of rain since ours was scheduled outside. The food was excellent quality, delicious and hot when served. Forrester and his staff were professional and friendly, attentive to all the guests needs. Our guests commented on how nice it was! Thank you again, we highly recommend you. Keep up the Great Work!

Date of our Wedding Reception: June 3rd 2017!
We used Earle Brown Heritage Center as our wedding reception venue. The whole experience from meeting with Tami in sales, to Desiree in Catering, and all of the people in the service department the night of, were all so amazing! Everyone we came in contact with were professional, answered our questions, and ensured we had one of the best nights of our lives. I highly recommend working with Earle Browns team for your event. The venue also offered amazing scenery for our wedding photos. You can't go wrong! :) Thank you all!

AMAZING!! That is the best way I can describe my wedding experience with Earle Brown Heritage Center. The staff was so helpful and friendly. They checked in with me every few weeks during the last three months to see how everything was going. The food was excellent and we had a lot of compliments from guests about the meal. The venue is gorgeous and has a beautiful outside space for guests to hang out in and take pictures in. I would highly recommend having your wedding/reception here!!

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at Earle Brown Heritage Center, and it was truly a beautiful day for us, mainly because the staff made sure everything happened like it was supposed to. But one person was EXTRAORDINARY-- Tami Buetow-Staples! From the first time I was in contact with her, she was amazing. She has such a warm spirit and was ALWAYS responsive to our questions. My husband and I were pretty much sold on Earle Brown, not only because it's a beautiful venue, but because we were sold on Tami. Even after we signed the paperwork to make Earle Brown our venue, she continued to field my questions.
And to top is all off, I learned that on the wedding day, our son who was just 9 months old, was having a bit of a melt down right before the ceremony. No one could find his beloved Wubbanub (a pacifier attached to a little stuffed animal), and Tami ran out and bought him a new one!!! I came around the corner and was lining up to walk out when
Tami came running in with the new Wubbanub in hand. She even took it out of the packaging to speed the process!! What an amazing person! My husband and I feel tremendously blessed that we had the chance to work with her.
For anyone who is thinking about this venue, know that you will be cared for-- from the sales staff all the way to wedding coordinators and serving staff. A set of really wonderful people!

I can't say enough about this venue. It was beautiful inside as well as outside, and people are STILL raving about the amazing food. I worked with Desiree and she was nothing short of amazing. I had a million and one questions and she was so responsive with an upbeat attitude. Thank you Earle Brown for making our day unforgettable!

I can't even describe how amazing it was to have our wedding reception at Earle Brown! The staff was absolutely amazing and so helpful during the whole process. The day before our wedding as we were setting up, multiple staff kept checking on us and making sure we were doing ok and asking if we needed help with anything. The day/night of, they were checking on everything and making sure we had everything we needed. Throughout the entire process, they were awesome with communicating with us and always offering to help with more. Now to talk about the venue- this venue provided the BEST opportunities for pictures!! The courtyard is where my husband and I had our first look, and the fountain and trees in the back added so much color and beauty to our pictures. All of our guests couldn't compliment the venue more and kept telling us how much they loved the room we had (the Harvest room). The ambiance of this place is amazing and I HIGHLY recommend this venue to all couples out there! :)

This venue was absolutely beautiful! We had our ceremony in the courtyard in front of the large fountain and our reception in the Garden City Ballroom. The staff members were so easy to work with and the food was AMAZING! Thank you Earle Brown!

My husband and I were married on October 8th, 2016. We had nothing but great experiences with Cyrese, our wedding coordinator, and the staff both prior to the event and the event day. Every special thing we asked for was granted with a positive attitude. Also, the tables/linens were set up by 8am the day of the event, which allowed for plenty of time for centerpiece placement and other preparations. The outdoor photo options were incredible, allowing for breath-taking shots from nearly everywhere on the premises. A FANTASTIC venue and staff!

The whole entire process of planning our wedding with Earle Brown Heritage Center was amazing. From the very first walk through we had all the way through to the end of the wedding day, they made planning our wedding a very easy experience.
We originally worked with Mary on the sales side of things and then worked with Kim on the planning/catering side of things. Both of these women were quick with responses any time I emailed them with questions, and they never made me feel like my questions were stupid (even though i'm sure they hear the same questions 100 times a week).
On the day of our wedding everything went seamlessly. Everything we had planned was executed and all of the food was delicious (both in our opinion and our guests opinion). We would highly recommend this venue for a wedding. The property is beautiful both inside and out, and made for a perfect wedding day.

FAIRY TALE PERFECT!
When we started looking for a venue, we knew we wanted an outdoor ceremony and somewhere close for the reception. The grounds at Earle Brown are gorgeous and the reception rooms were on site!
Kim B was our catering manager and she was exceptional! She answered our questions promptly and made us feel so relaxed about our ceremony and reception.
I can't even describe how awesome the food is at Earle Brown. Many people were raving about our meal choices, which made us very happy. We had delicious appetizers and late night snacks that were a hit! The wait staff were pleasant and cheerful to our guests.
Please consider checking out Earle Brown Heritage Center for your ceremony or reception or BOTH! You won't be disappointed.

FABULOUS wedding venue! Excellent service from initial inquiry through date of wedding. I worked with Tami and Cyrese, both of whom were receptive to my questions! I made an error regarding the children's menu and Cyrese took care of it. So beautiful inside and out!

Everything about our experience with Earle Brown was wonderful! The planning with Cyrese was easy and she made sure to cover all details before I even thought of them. If we had questions (which I did), she was quick to respond to emails. Our guests loved the venue for the ceremony (outside by the small fountain) and the Harvest Room was perfect for our group. We requested a unique setup for the food (heavy appetizer stations) and they made it happen! Everyone was gushing about how amazing the food was and we actually got to enjoy it ourselves...the cater staff was so amazing and brought us small plates to us so we could taste each option before it was too late! They were upfront about costs and gave timely updates about changes. The only downfall were some of the pricing-it was higher for some of our food options because we had the different setup. Overall great!!!

We had our ceremony out by the large fountain and our reception in Carriage Hall B this past September. The grounds are beautiful, which was a big reason that I fell in love with this place! My now husband was sold because of the food. The coordinators were great to work with and with getting everything reserved and answering any questions we had! Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the ceremony was and how delicious the meals were. We chose to do a buffet with Chicken and Salmon. Unfortunately neither of those agree with my Dad's stomach problems but that wasn't an issue, our event manager quickly gave us other options that were coming off the line that night for him to choose from. It was also wonderful to be able to serve the children plated meals that catered to them vs making them eat off the buffet.
The only reason that I didn't give 5 stars is that I was completely sold on the fact that we had 2 hours in the courtyard of only our party, so for our ceremony and getting our pictures done. I ensured that everyone in my wedding party and all of my vendors were plenty aware that we were only allowed out there for our two hours until the last wedding ceremony was over. Unfortunately other brides were not as respectful and the staff at EBHC didn't enforce this. In fact, they told me it was a public place and they couldn't tell people they couldn't be out there. So there are others in the backgrounds of our ceremony pictures (a whole wedding party taking pictures) and were interrupted by another photographer and couple while attempting to take our photos.

While we didn't choose this venue because we really fell in love with another location before visiting the Earle Brown Heritage Center, I wanted to leave a review because Tami was so amazing to work with during my research process.
She was the most responsive of all the venues I reached out to, very flexible, and offered me great suggestions that I plan to incorporate into my reception. She is an amazing asset for the Earle Brown Heritage Center.
