Little Log House Pioneer Village - NEWLY RENOVATED!

your guests have plenty to explore as you and your party take photos... if you can decide where to take them, that is. There are SO MANY gorgeous spots (rustic bridge, fairytale garden, historic buildings and meadows, etc.), our photographer was in heaven! We also loved that we could easily hold the ceremony and reception at the same location, and both the church and the reception hall are pulled straight from the Pinterest rustic wedding board of your dreams. There's a getting ready cabin for the wedding party next to the chapel free of charge, and some of my favorite memories of the day happened there as me, my mom and grandma and aunts, and my bridesmaids spent sweet, unhurried time together in a gorgegous space. Beauty of the venue aside, I'd recommend LLHPV in a heartbeat for the stellar management alone. From my initial inquiry and location visits, to coordination leading up to the day and the big day itself, this family-owned operation is a dream. They're so flexible with your requests and are insanely organized, so our wedding day went off without a single hitch (seriously... not one!). We also loved that there are no hidden fees -- none. I actually had to call a few times to clarify that we didn't have to pay for services I'd see at other venues (cake cutting fees, getting-ready spaces, parking, in-house catering, use of sound system, bringing your own DJ, party snacks for guests, etc.) I'm not a native Minnesotan, so my parents were wary of an out-of-state wedding. After everything they experienced with Little Log House Pioneer Village, they say they can't imagine my wedding being held anywhere else. Prep my dad with a tissue before you ask, however -- he gets misty eyed thinking abou it. :)

n. On top of how pretty the entire venue is, the staff was incredible to work with. We had the pleasure to work with Angie and she made everything so simple and stress free. We couldn't have asked for a better day. It was absolutely perfect! I can't say enough good things and can't refer this venue on to enough people. If you're debating between Little Log and another venue, stop debating and chose Little Log, you won't regret it!!

concerns. Even during the Covid-19 pandemic, they provide us with support and reassurance that out wedding was still going to go as planned. This venue is a great space for small or large weddings.

s compliment our wedding and the venue saying 'this is the best wedding venue we have ever seen'. Everything was very well maintained and you can tell they really do care about the details. There are so many photo opportunities at the venue! The staff was very flexible and easy to work with! We had many questions during the planning process and they always had quick answers and were able to provide advice and feedback from their past experiences. They offer a nice list of the catering vendors that have varying prices so having affordable food is an option. The bar list and prices are the best for any venue we looked at. These two things were huge bonus's for us! No hidden/surprise fees that you hear of at some other venues- which is a huge relief! All of the buildings have so much character and detail that we needed very little decor- such a money and time saver! They allowed us to use the grounds for our engagement pictures which was a huge plus for our photographer so she had ideas for the wedding day. Overall, I could not have imagined getting married anywhere but the LLH. It was a great value for us and, it was incredibly beautiful. Thank you Angie, Tiffany and everyone else at the LLH!

a wedding close to the cities. With all this in mind, we thought this venue would be way out of our budget but that wasn't the case. This is a very reasonably priced venue for the twin cities for what's all included. We had last minutes changes that they were extremely accommodating with and went over the top to help make our day perfect. We would highly recommend for anyone to consider as a venue option.

erfect bridal and groom suites to get ready in and trust me, you will be thankful they have a temperature controlled reception hall! We recieved raving reviews from all of our guests! The pictures turned out amazing and we were even lucky enough to get some shots with a double rainbow! Our wedding was more magical than I could have ever hoped for, and if you choose Little Log House Pioneer Village you will not be disappointed!!

VID. Angie was wonderful, she was always accessible and made sure we had everything we needed leading up to and during our wedding. If you are looking for a large, unique, special place to have a wedding I cannot recommend Little Log enough!

and only wedding venue we toured! My husband was so wrong when he thought we were going to tour a farmer’s junkyard! This is so much more then just a wedding venue. However, this is a place you absolutely need to see, there is no way to describe this place and do it justice! Everything from the location, grounds and buildings are immaculate! You would not even need a ton of décor as the venue by itself is beautiful! You and your guest literally get the entire village for the day! Angie and Jessie have been an incredible help every step of the way (along with the entire LLHPV staff). They are so flexible and truly go above and beyond what you would expect. They were there to answer any question and put any concern you may have at ease! Planning a wedding during a pandemic added an extra level of wedding stress, but they were right there to help ease any concerns that I had. We had our wedding in their new stable, which is straight out of a magazine…and air conditioned! There are endless opportunities for the perfect photos at this venue, making it a photographer’s dream! We loved that everything from the rooms to get ready to the reception hall were at one location. All our guests and wedding party raved about how beautiful, fun, and unique this wedding venue is…even the teenage boys! This venue has so much to offer for guests of any age! I would 100% recommend this wedding venue to anyone looking to have their dream wedding. I hope to come back to LLHPV again in the future as a guest!

ich are all so beautiful. Angie and her staff are excellent and goes above and beyond to making your day perfect! Our wedding had to get rescheduled due to Covid and I can not thank Angie enough for all her hard work to still make our dream wedding come true! We are so happy we found this wedding venue and would recommend 100% to any couple looking to have a wedding!

tos! We had our ceremony in the stable and it seriously looks like something out of a magazine! The reception hall is also very spacious and equally beautiful. It was awesome to have a cocktail hour and have so much for our guests to see while they waited for dinner, we even had guests come early because they were so intrigued. Angie and her team were so amazing as well, planning a wedding during a pandemic was so stressful but they were so supportive and responsive and felt like they had our backs every step of the way. I truly cannot say enough about this venue, worth every cent!

cited to share the story of the Village with our family and friends. We will be looking for opportunities to go back in the future; such a treasure of a place! The church was a perfect setting for our quaint ceremony, and the reception hall was spaciously suited for our party to enjoy a taco bar and hit the dance floor without bumping elbows. At the end of October, we lucked out with some amazing fall colors even though it cooled off a bit too much for the yard games we had in mind. Our one regret was not planning in more time for pictures with the awesome scenery and lighted signs at the end of the night. LLH was one of the best choices we made around our wedding day, and we would highly recommend this venue!

ave a wedding and so worth the price! Would highly recommend.

e of the venue. The staff at Little Log House is top notch. They help take much of the stress of planning away by communicating proactively, organizing all of your event details clearly and being responsive to any (and all!) questions. The venue itself offered the perfect accommodation for our 275 guest wedding and reception. We utilized Sylvia's Garden for the ceremony, which offered a beautiful backdrop of gardens and flowers. The Village Hall is already so beautifully decorated to where we did not need much in terms of floral or décor to complete our desired look. The table layout within the Village Hall offered enough space to navigate around tables, the bar and dance floor even with a large group. The list of recommended vendors provided by the Little Log House was very helpful and using those vendors took a lot of extra coordination of our hands. Thank you Little Log House and team for helping to make our day so special and memorable. Others considering this venue for your wedding or other special event will NOT be disappointed!

e ceremony as well, and I put candles all the way down the aisle that were lit up. We got married by the fireplace under the chandelier and had a beautiful flower arrangement made for on top of the fireplace in there that we then transferred to behind us for the reception as we sat under the chandelier in there as well. So many special touches, and again they were so accommodating for us. I bought all my own linens, chargers, centerpieces, and signage for the venue so they let us come in two days prior to get it all set up even. You can take your engagement photos on site if you are getting married here! Also, wedding day photos are amazing!!! So many fun places to take photos on site. Truly looks like a little town. Being from Cottage Grove it was cool to see the drive-in sign there and they even put our names up on it with a congratulatory message! Everything was so so special and was amazing partying into the new year with our closest family and friends. We had about 200 people very comfortably in the stable and reception hall with no issues. They were flexible with booze, have many caterers to choose from, and no requirement on who to use otherwise (florist, dj, lighting, etc.) I wish we could relive the day again. Thanks so much to all the girls at LLH for our absolutely amazing day and making it so special for us.

anted. We still have people telling us how beautiful the wedding was and how much fun they had at Little Log House. If you choose this venue for your wedding, you will not be disappointed!

st loved having the ability to leave the reception hall, get some fresh air, and explore the grounds. It also presented our photographer with tons of photo opportunities. I can safely say that our wedding photos do not look like anyone else's, even if they got married at the same venue, because it is such a big property. Another thing that appealed to me when venue shopping was the flexibility this venue gave us. The caterers they allow you to choose from offer a variety of menu choices, if the bar does not regularly stock something you want they will work with you to get it, and decor is completely up to you to determine how you want it! When planning our big day I really wanted to get married outside but was worried about what we would do if it rained. Thankfully, LLH had the capability to have our ceremony outdoors but also had a wonderful back up plan indoors if it rained. Other venues simply did not have this option. Lastly, the staff there were so patient and kind. I don't know how many times I emailed Angie with questions leading up to my big day and she was always prompt to respond and ease any worry I had. 10/10 would recommend this venue to any of my girlfriends that are recently engaged and honestly, I don't think my mom will let my little sister get married anywhere else when that time comes! With our wedding anniversary in less than a week I can still safely say I made the best choice choosing LLH as our venue. Thanks again for making our big day one that we will never forget!

The only thing that was a little bit of a shock was the cost by the end of our wedding. They were very upfront about all the small costs we just didn't take the time to add all them up. Still with it being more costly for us if we did it all over again I would have choose this Venue for our wedding again!

ie is very punctual with responding to emails and was always detailed with her answers to my questions. Our guests commented on how beautiful the reception hall was and how lovely the staff were! Also, our wedding went soooo smoothly! We also got a number of our vendors from a list of recommendations the Little Log House gave us, which was nice because that way our vendors were familiar with each other. All in all, we had an amazing time!

place has it all! Our big thing was finding a venue where we can have the ceremony and reception at the same place. There were so many amazing locations for pictures we didn’t even get to utilize them all! It rained on our day and we found multiple covered spots outside and the reception hall is so beautiful we took photos inside too! Every part of our day was perfect thanks to this amazing team! They answered all my questions super quick and made our big day such a breeze. They are so flexible and genuinely want all their couples to have an amazing day. There’s also no hidden costs and unnecessary fees like you see with many other venues. We also had SOOOO many compliments on the venue, people on social media we didn’t even know were reaching our after seeing our photos. Everyone kept asking how we found such a beautiful and unique venue for our wedding. I can’t imagine having our special day anywhere else, Little Log House and the team were incredible to work with! Our photos turned out amazing because of how beautiful the entire grounds are, inside and outside. I hope to attend a wedding here in the future, we want any excuse to come back to this amazing place!

s down the most easy going process. Our wedding was an absolute dream, the venue is completely unique and we got nothing but positive compliments from our guests.

She helped coordinate all our different vendors and took a lot of stress off me. Our guests gave us so many compliments for the unique location and the beautiful rustic theme to our reception hall. The pricing of the Little Log House was extremely reasonable, especially being so close to the Twin Cities. We are so thankful for all the staff and vendors for their amazing work!!!

this property so easy to fall in love with. We will make it a point to come back for their open house event and will recommend it to all of our friends.

gie was amazing! Weddings are stressful but Angie made everything so much easier. You will not regret choosing this venue!

venue to anyone!

remony, as well as the reception hall (Village Hall). Angie was great to work with and always and answered our questions throughout the entire time we were working on the wedding details. They have a few different catering services to choose from and that was helpful for decision purposes. Don't hesitate to give this place a try.
