Maplewood Area Historical Society

and pick up last minute stuff Sunday! The day of coordinator, Tricia, is phenomenal- she makes sure every detail of the day runs smoothly! She was a perfect part of making our day so perfect! The barn is gorgeous and there are tons of areas to take different types of pictures - prairie/nature shots, red/rustic barn shots, gazebo, etc. The house was perfect for getting ready for the girls and the basement of the barn was a perfect place for the guys to get ready and the entire bridal party to hang out! Highly recommend this venue to those looking for a barn style venue with flexibility to do what you want! (:

out Tricia, the event coordinator who comes with the venue. Bruentrup is just 15 minutes north of downtown St. Paul, and 20-25 minutes from downtown Minneapolis, so it was easy for both locals and our many out of town guests. While it's close to the cities, it feels like an escape to the country. I loved the flexibility of the space - we moved seamlessly from the meadow for our ceremony, to the yard/barn for cocktail hour & yard games, to a tent for dinner, and back to the barn for live band and dancing. You could have worked those spaces 10 different ways based on your preference, though! I also loved the vendor flexibility - I wanted to choose all of our own vendors and bring our own alcohol, which we were able to do. It makes it feel so much more personal, and helps limit costs. A fun “extra” that we added was the hayride. Just do it! It was an absolute blast. And finally, the event coordinator Tricia is an actual genius - she was so helpful from the planning phase all the way through the wedding, truly going above and beyond to make sure that everything looked beautiful and flowed seamlessly. We shared our planning doc, dropped off our decor, and she took it from there. The guys ran out of drinks - she found drinks. The caterer ran out of chips - she found chips. SO many guests walked up to me and said “your venue and coordinator are amazing ... I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this place!”. As a local heritage site, Bruentrup is not profit-driven, so is off the beaten track of Twin Cities venues. You will have a truly unique experience. As I said - hidden GEM, and the best decision you will make!

ate and rushed to pull things together at the last minute, Tricia helped turn our vision into something beautiful. Tricia executed a stunning display, handled the vendors and family, and took amazing care of us. I could not be more grateful to her. Bruentrup Heritage Farm is a truly incredible location, with naturally gorgeous buildings, flowers, and prairie, a convenient location, and a fraction of the cost of other barn venues. Your booking supports the Maplewood Historical Society and a historical treasure. I could not recommend Bruentrup and Tricia more highly.

e could even ever imagined it in our wildest dreams! They went completely above and beyond in every aspect, I literally do not know how we could have done it without them! I will be telling everyone I know who is getting married to look Bruentrup and Little Farm Girl up!
