Unique & Elegant Barn/Vineyard Wedding Venue

AWARD WINNER (9X)
Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
Situated in Cottage Grove, MN, and a mere 15 minutes from the Twin Cities, Hope Glen Farm is a historic site and elegant wedding venue. Next to the 500-acre Cottage Grove Ravine Regional Park, it offers a tranquil escape from the city’s bustle, complete with friendly goats and chickens. The venue's rustic charms provide an ideal setting for weddings, where couples can host their “I dos” to their last dance in one place.
Hope Glen Farm began its documented history as the home of William F. McIntosh. The barn was constructed in the late 1800s and was originally a dairy and then a horse barn. John Healy, of Healy Plumbing and Heating Company, bought the property in 1914, who named it Hope Glen Farm. The name is derived from his mother’s maiden name and the home's placement in a glen. The current owners have lived there since 2001 and restored the buildings with immense time, thought, and care. They are enthusiastic about sharing this exquisite property with couples on their big day.
Up to 280 guests can be accommodated at Hope Glen Farm. Ceremonies can begin in the picturesque pasture, which is enveloped by vineyards and lush Minnesotan greenery. From here, the cocktail hour may take place on the indoor and outdoor patio before the reception on the outdoor pavilion. It features three open walls that can be closed in case of inclement weather. The festivities may continue in the renovated barn and around the bonfire area. After a day of merriment, the sweethearts can then move to either the Tree House honeymoon suite or the Corn Crib Cottage suite to rest. With amenities like climate control and running water, there are many comforts throughout the property that make it both aesthetic and functional.

I have been a meetings, events and catering manager for over 20 years, so to say that I had high expectations of my second wedding is an understatement. The thing is, I didn’t want to stress about it. I wanted it to be fun, relaxed, beautiful, run smoothly and allow me to be present without running around and doing everything. I didn’t want to be a Bridezilla.
Coming from the industry, I knew that the only way to make something run smoothly is to work with vendors who can be your partners, and you can trust to take your vision and execute it without micromanagement.
That is what I found at Hope Glen Farms. Eryka and her team executed my vision perfectly. The venue was amazing. The different areas for people to move around to means you aren’t stuck in one location sitting in a ballroom chair for 4+ hours. It was thundering, lightning and pouring rain all morning. I wasn’t worried, because if we needed to there was a perfectly magical Option B in the pavilion in front of the fireplace. It cleared up, and we had the most perfect, exactly the way we wanted it, wedding and party with our family and friends. From the planning meetings with Eryka, who is way more detailed about her space, even than I am, to the staff that stayed until the last box was packed up, we always knew there was someone besides me that had thought of everything.
I am “extra” so of course I needed to add a little, or a lot more to everything. However, Hope Glen has almost everything. The Bridal Bliss package can make your wedding beautiful without you breaking the bank on items you will never use again. They really have thought of everything. My florist, who is also an events and catering manager, loved working with the on-site team so much that she picked up some shifts working as a day of coordinator over the summer.
The Treehouse is where we choose to have our wedding night. It was like being little kids in a tree house, climbing the ladder to the top to look at the stars. The massive tub was amazing when my legs were so tired from dancing all night and to wake up with a cup of coffee and sit on the swing chairs in the treetops was one of the most relaxing moments I had experienced in the six months of planning. We forgot to look for the secret room. Guess we need to go back.

We loved Hope Glen, my wife said it was way above and beyond what she had hope and dreamed for her wedding and all of our guests commented on how amazing the venue was! All the beautiful and differently decorated spaces were very functional and made our wedding flow effortlessly. We felt so blessed getting married in a super rain storm in the beautiful dinner hall. We also loved the tree house, it was such a magical place to spend our first night together. We loved the ambient worship music, we were worshipping together all night until we fell asleep. It was super special. Also Eryka was incredible. The bridal bliss package was absolutely worth every penny. I don't know how we could have got all that done on our own without her help, especially being out of state. We also highly recommend the horse carriage. The audible gasp of all our gusts was intoxicating as my beautiul bride arrived by horse carriage looking like a storybook princess.

We could have not asked for a better venue. All our our guests raved about the space. One of the best things about picking Hope Glen was access to Eryka and the bridal bliss team and decor. Not only did this mean we had to buy less decor, but they were able to take our personal touches and incorporate them seamlessly into the items.
Being able to show up the day of the wedding and not having to worry about anything was a dream. The bridal bliss team took what was talking about in meetings and brought it to life. Knowing there was a reliable and experienced staff to deal with setup, tear down and logistics was a dream for this Type A bride. Anyone looking for an outdoor barn venue should highly consider Hope Glen.

The venue is amazing, gorgeous, and very accommodating! My husband and I LOVED every second of our wedding and we are so grateful to the venue, the owners, the and the staff! I definitely recommend using Eryka, their day of coordinator! She was a joy to work with and so well organized! She is extremely knowledgeable about the area, vendors, timelines, decor, and random questions that come up. She has great communication which is a must for every planning bride! Hope Glen Farm is a dream!

Hope Glen Farm is nothing short of a dream come true for a wedding venue. From the moment we arrived, we felt the warmth, care, and genuine love that this place radiates. It felt like stepping into a fairytale—the perfect backdrop for our special day, but the personal touches truly made it unforgettable.
Walking down the aisle surrounded by nature’s beauty was nothing short of heavenly. The serene atmosphere made every moment feel sacred and timeless. The social hour with our loved ones was everything we had hoped for—joyful, lively, and filled with heartfelt memories.
And then, there’s the treehouse—a unique and enchanting spot that gave us the sweetest little moment to soak it all in. But above all, what stood out most was the extraordinary care and attention we received from the owners, Michael and Paula, and the staff. They are the kindest, most caring people, pouring so much love and attention into every part of our experience.
From the detailed planning to the thorough tour of the facilities, they made sure every aspect of our day was perfect. They listened, they guided, and they truly cared about making our wedding as special as possible. They made everything feel so smooth and stress-free.
One of the most touching parts of our journey with Hope Glen Farm was their prayers for us. It wasn’t just a venue; it was a place where love and faith were interwoven into every detail, making us feel deeply supported and cherished.
If you’re looking for a venue that combines natural beauty, impeccable service, and heartfelt intention, Hope Glen Farm is it. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed it would be and more, thanks to this extraordinary place and its wonderful team.

We absolutely LOVED Hope Glen Farm! I grew up near the venue, and drove by it every day for years of my life, dreaming that maybe I would get married there someday… that day happened, and it was more than I ever could have dreamed of!!! We had the most magical day!! Our guests raved about the venue and told us it was the coolest venue they had ever attended. The unique transitions from the ceremony space, to the dinner barn, then outdoor yard games/fire pits, to the bar, and then the dance floor, make this venue one-of-a-kind! And to top it off, we stayed in the treehouse, which was so cool!!! We already want to plan trips back to the treehouse to celebrate our anniversaries in the years to come! The staff were all so friendly and helpful throughout every step! Thank you, Hope Glen Farm, for providing us with the perfect venue to celebrate our marriage at!!

Hope Glen Farms was the perfect venue! And the staff were incredible! From the moment we arrived to tour we were so impressed with Paula’s openness and passion for her place. And then meeting Eryka to start the planning process made us feel so comfortable! Everything we wanted to was accomplished beautifully and the day went better than we could have even expected. Eryka made sure we were never stressed or left with questions. The place is beautiful and I would recommend everyone to check it out!

We were looking for an outdoor venue and found Hope Glen, and I cried when I saw the outdoor chapel area and told my fiancé this was the place. They had a date in our range, and when we got in touch with them, we were able to tour it the next day. The venue has it all -- a gorgeous chapel, photo opportunities everywhere, air-conditioned dancing, a lovely social hour space, a pavilion for dinner that almost needs no decoration it's so beautiful. They listen to their brides/grooms and are always adding to the venue. We added on the Bridal Bliss package also, and it was worth every penny! Eryka and her team made the day go more smoothly than I imagined, and not having to buy/bring a ton of decor made it a bride's dream. I'm so so grateful to have this place in my memories now forever.

Hope Glen Farm was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From the very first communication, the team was clear, detailed, and incredibly personable. They went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our special day was executed flawlessly. The coordination meetings leading up to the wedding, along with the helpful client portal, kept us on track and confident that everything would be perfect. On the day of, the staff was amazingly helpful and attentive - Eryka in particular was a true godsend, keeping us organized and responsive to our every need. The Bridal Bliss decor package they offer is a must, as the venue looked absolutely beautiful and pristine. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and feel the value we received was worth every penny. Plus a wedding night in a Tree House or Corn Crib Cottage? How can you beat that?! We highly recommend Hope Glen Farm to any couple looking for a stress-free, stunning wedding celebration.

We couldn’t have chosen a more perfect venue for our wedding than Hope Glen Farm! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the beauty and charm of the place. Our guests were equally impressed, with many saying it was the most beautiful venue they had ever been to.
The highlight of our stay was the Treehouse Honeymoon Suite. It was absolutely magical and provided a unique, romantic retreat for us. The attention to detail and the cozy, enchanting atmosphere made it an unforgettable experience.
The staff at Hope Glen Farm were exceptional, ensuring everything ran smoothly and that all our needs were met. Their professionalism and warmth made our special day even more memorable.
If you’re looking for a stunning venue with a touch of magic, Hope Glen Farm is the place to be. We couldn’t have asked for a better setting for our wedding, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly beautiful and unique venue.
This and the catering This Little Piggy are the best choices we made for our wedding. Get the Bridal Bliss package - it is well worth the money!

From the start of our planning the wedding to the event itself, my daughter's celebration at Hope Glen Farm was flawless. Everything about the venue was perfect for the wedding we had imagined. I'd like to recommend using the Bridal Bliss package - their wedding coordinator Erika was invaluable to us as we worked on this wedding for over a year. We could not have been happier. We were in excellent hands and felt completely at ease to enjoy the wedding when it finally arrived. Their vendor suggestions were spot-on as well. We will always be grateful.

Hope, Glen Farm was our dream wedding venue! I wrote down everything I would ever want in a venue and when I discovered Hope Glen it matched every criteria and more! The staff was incredibly professional, and very kind and gentle with me, as I had recently lost my mother. We were able to view the property within 24 hours of discovering it. Every portion of the property was breathtaking from the Vineyard to the Civil War barn to the majestic dining area to the outdoor fire pits and open bar area for appetizers not to mention the incredible corn crib Cottage and TreeHouse honeymoon suite!
Having recently had a major loss in the family and getting married within only a two month engagement I knew I wanted a property that was as full service as possible and Hope Glen Farm went above and beyond. We were able to get their special package where they provided all of the decorations as well as an on-site Wedding Planner. All of the planning and day of went SO smooth!
Our guests had a blast and almost everyone said it was the BEST wedding they had ever been to. Our pictures and videos are breathtaking. We loved our honeymoon night in the tree house and even came back for our one month anniversary. I can’t recommend this venue enough.

Hope Glen Farm is a beautiful venue and provided amazing service to make our day the absolute best! The wedding coordinator and assistants made the day so smooth and took care of all the details of coordinating the ceremony, decorating, serving desserts, and helping the bridal party stay on schedule with all the plans of the day.

The wedding day was everything we wanted and then some. The site of the ceremony by the vineyard, the beautiful reception barn with stone fireplace, and the party barn with the dance floor and bar were all so spacious, functional, and well decorated. Many of our guests told us it was their favorite wedding they had been to. And the tree house suite that we got to stay in was the perfect cherry on top. Erika also made the wedding planning process extremely smooth. Very glad we went with Hope Glen!!

Hope Glen was an absolute dream of a venue in every way. From the very initial meeting we knew it was where we wanted to get married!! And from then on it only got better. All following meetings leading up to the big day made me feel so calm knowing I was in great hands. This place KNOWS how to run a wedding!! They have every detail down to a science. My personal attendant who’s a professional event planner said it was the best run venue she’s ever been involved with. The multiple areas are so amazing to not feel like you’re stuck in the same area the whole time - which we loved. And the best part of all has to be the treehouse you get to stay at after the dance! It is just stunning. I cannot say enough positive things about Eryka, Paula, all the staff, and vendors involved!! We feel so blessed this is where we were able to have the best day of our lives. Highly highly recommend!

When you talk about dream weddings, Hope Glen Farm has to be at the top of anyone’s list. Mike and Paula (the owners) put everything into this venue , and you can tell. Their manager/planner Eryka is a game changer. She is very detail oriented and helps you make your dream a reality. The entire team is more than professional is all assets. The Bridal Bliss program is the way to go. It made the day 100% less stressful knowing the staff takes care of the set up and take down also being able to pick from their endless amount of decorations. If you choose this venue, you NEED to do the Bridal Bliss. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this place. We were given endless compliments on our wedding and it’s solely because of the venue and staff allowing us to make our dream come true.

Choosing Hope Glen as the venue for our reception was the best decision! Planning, payments, communication, and professionalism were all top notch and seamless. We received countless comments from our guests afterward about how beautiful the venue was, how great the good was, and about the wonderful time they had. My favorite was the beautiful strings of lights in each space, multiple transition spaces, and country scenery. Many thanks to Hope Glen staff, that day was perfect.

Hope Glen Farm is beautiful and unlike any other barn venue in Minnesota. It’s rustic while still feeling clean, elegant and high-end. The bridal bliss staff (day of coordinators) were WONDERFUL and helped the day run so smoothly. The only downside is that the venue is a bit pricey—but in my opinion it was worth every penny!

Cannot recommend Hope Glen enough. We got married in September of 2022 and it was the most magical day. I definitely recommend the Bridal Bliss package, this made planning a wedding virtually stress free. Paula and Eryka were fantastic to work with. The venue was beautiful, a perfect blend of rustic and formal with a very beautiful rain back-up plan. We stayed at the treehouse the night of the wedding, it seriously lives up to the hype. Super friendly owners, organized venue, they definitely know what they are doing, and our guests were incredibly impressed with the venue. Book Hope Glen!

We had Eryka and she helped the day go so smoothly even with a few hiccups here and there. Hope to be back someday!

Absolutely AMAZING venue. Not just because of the beautiful property, but right down to the people, the owners, Eryka the coordinator, the communication, and the organization of everything. They seriously know what they are doing! I also HIGHLY recommend booking their day-of coordination services, because Eryka was an absolute lifesaver. She kept the entire day running smoothly, as did all of her assistants, and having the decor options took so much off of my plate to prep for prior to the wedding. They loaded everything into our cars at the end of the night, which was a massive help.
We had SO many compliments on the venue itself, too. Having the different spaces to transition to and from throughout the night gave guests plenty of space instead of feeling like you are stuck in one big room all night. There are multiple areas for great photo ops, we used their lawn games and I don't think anyone stopped playing those all night, and then just having the gas fireplaces around gave people multiple spaces to converse without having to yell over loud music on the dancefloor, which had its own space in the barn.
Not to mention, you get to stay in one of two of their amazing rental spaces (the treehouse or the corn crib), which are beautifully renovated and modern. My parents stayed the night in the corn crib and my husband and I took the treehouse. It made it so much less stressful at the end of the night, knowing we didn't have to drive anywhere or worry about carrying everything out all at once (though they loaded our cars anyways!). They allow overnight parking for guests, too, which was a huge plus for some that ended up deciding to Uber or Lyft home later.

The only negative is the required food vendor which we were not so happy with. We would have loved to bring in our own caterer!

We got married here in September and it was absolutely amazing. The staff helped set everything up and made sure the day went as we had planned. Eryka was the best. She made the day go by so smoothly. I received so many compliments that day regarding the venue. Our guests loved how many photo ops there were and how each space was different from the last. Highly recommend this venue! Wish I could get married here again and again.

Hope Glen was such a wonderful venue. The owners were very accommodating and their planner was lots of fun to work with. She helped keep everything well organized. The venue is beautiful and all the guests loved it.

We had such a great experience working with Hope Glen Farm! They were always very responsive and had everything organized to make wedding plan easy. Eryka is mainly who helped us throughout our planning process and was also there day of to make things stress free. It was so beautiful day of and got to end the night staying in the treehouse. It was a day we’ll never forget, thanks to hope Glen for making it possible!

We got married at Hope Glen this October and it was perfect! There was not a thing we’d have changed. We had the pleasure of working with Eryka who made sure everything went off without a hitch - we had nothing to worry about the day of our wedding and just really got to enjoy everything. The grounds and the structures are so well thought out and beautiful. Thank you Hope Glen Farm!

11/10 kind of review! We got married at Hope Glen on 10.9.21 and it was truly the best decision. Our guests loved all the spaces and room that they had all day long. We had almost 200 guests and they never felt crowded. We couldn't tell you the amount of compliments our guests gave us about how unique and beautiful that the venue was! They also absolutely loved the tree house. Guests get to tour it (if they want) during the cocktail hour and all our guests loved that! Sleeping in the treehouse the night of our wedding was also such a fun thing and memory we will always have! I would highly suggest spending the little extra money and getting the bridal bliss package. Eryka is truly amazing to work with and makes all your wedding planning seem so seamless and easy. Along with everything else you get with the package, she also also gives you a ton of helpful hints while planning and on your big day. Having her there on our big day made it go so much smoother and she truly supported me (and helped my nerves) as a bride in the best way possible. From the beautiful spaces, the treehouse, the staff, the animals and the atmosphere - I can't say enough about Hope Glen. If you're looking for a beautiful, indoor/outdoor, elegant yet rustic barn vibe for your wedding - this it it!

Hope Glen Farm was honestly the best. From the very beginning, we felt this place was special. The immense amount of support Michael, Paula, and Eryka gave was phenomenal. We added the additional package, so we could have day of coordinators, and everything ran so smoothly. We met up multiple times to ensure our vendors were selected, and the day of coordinating was exactly how we wanted it.
It’s hard to say what my favorite part about this venue was because there were so many UNIQUE features. There’s so many places for beautiful photos, your guests are able to come together but also spread out during happy hour, the barn is beautiful, the goats add a farm vibe (they were so cute), the beautiful tree house is a sight to see, and the unique history behind this magical place.
Hands down my husband and I loved this place. It was such a special day, at what I think is the best wedding venue in Minnesota.

Cannot say enough about Hope Glen!! It is such a beautiful property with so many options and spaces for guests to spend their time. The owners are extremely kind and are constantly making improvements and truly seem to care about the couples they work with and their experiences. I highly recommend adding the Bridal Bliss package, too, I didnt have to worry about any details on our big day!

I am a wedding planner from CA and my couple flew me in to coordinate their wedding.... I have to say that I was so pleasantly by how beautiful the venue is... simply gorgeous! A total dream for wedding planners and vendors, especially with the wonderful Erika managing the venue. The open Barn is beautiful and spacious, with a high ceiling, gorgeous market lights and chandeliers all around it, you will get the most lovely light during dinner. It is surrounded by beautiful vineyards and rolling hills. The property has so many "extras" which will help any couples on a budget! And I have to mention the tree house where the couples can stay on their wedding night... it is a GEM!!! I wanted to send a note to thank your team for all their hard work leading up to and on that day and particularly Eryka! Thanks for making my job easy and smooth. Your venue is absolutely stunning and the owner is simply the sweetest... what he did with that property is a work of art! I would highly recommend this property to any newly engaged couples that want an elegant shabby chic wedding! This venue is TRULY MAGICAL!
Keep up the good work and thanks again. I hope you have an incredibly smooth and successful wedding season!

I got married to my husband at Hope Glen Farm in July. We were happy to get the last Saturday in the summer with everyone rescheduling their wedding! Due to covid we only got to have a virtual tour, but Michael and Paula sold us! Our wedding day was perfect with the help of their own day of coordinator, Eryka. She is definitely worth the extra cost. We got so many compliments by our wedding guests that there was always something to do, especially during our almost 2 hour cocktail hour (touring the tree house, feeding and petting the goats, playing yard games, many photo ops). The cherry on top is that you get to stay in either the tree house or corn crib cottage on your wedding night (we picked the tree house). The tree house is so incredible and is actually available on AirBNB. My husband and I plan to stay there on our future anniversaries. 5 stars to the venue for the wedding and the tree house!

Hope Glen Farm was more than I could have ever imagined! Rustic yet elegant touches around the entire property. Eryka phenomenal to work with, and her and her amazing team take care of all the details with the bridal bliss package. Michael and Paula the owners truly want the best for each of their couples, and it shows in their dedication to this incredible venue. So happy we chose Hope Glen!

This venue was beyond our dreams for our wedding day! We could not have imagined a more simple yet stunning location in every aspect. The attention to detail that they have come up with for everything was perfect! Having everything onsite with a shuttle service allowed us to not feel worried about people getting home safe. Most of our vendors were referred through Hope Glen which was extremely helpful since we were planning from Arizona and didn't have time to shop around! We hired Eryka to coordinate our wedding day and according to my knowledge everything went perfectly which was exactly what I wanted to not be having to stress on the actual day! We will definitely return to the treehouse someday to relive it all! LOVED LOVED LOVED every part of it!

Halfway through our engagement, we were having issues with our original wedding venue and started searching for a new venue. Our search brought us to Hope Glen Farm and we are so incredibly grateful to have found them. For starters, the owners, Paula and Michael, and the venue manager, Eryka, were so wonderful to work with. They were kind, professional, and answered all of our questions. It was very apparent to us from our first meeting with Paula that they put their heart and soul into making Hope Glen Farm the perfect wedding venue. They care about and listen to their couples. Secondly, the venue is breathtakingly gorgeous! It has such a romantic, cozy feel. Our guests raved about what a beautiful, cool space it was and everyone loved that each part of the wedding takes place in a different area (ex: ceremony is in the pasture, dinner is in the pavilion, and the dance is in the barn). We also very much appreciated that we could supply our own alcohol here - we found they're one of the few wedding venues in the Twin Cities that still gives you this option - which saved us literally thousands of dollars. We had an absolutely PERFECT day at Hope Glen Farm and we would choose them again in a heartbeat!!
