The Minnesota Horse & Hunt Club is fantastic. Throughout the whole process Judy was communicative and accommodating of all of our asks. The day of was perfect. The staff was super friendly and everything was executed perfectly. Food was phenomenal and service was amazing. We couldn't have imagined a better place to get married. It was perfect.

We had a beautiful day and time having our wedding at the Horse & Hunt Club! The staff was amazing at serving our almost 200 guests and we truly could not have asked for a better venue with ceremony & reception in all three spaces provided! :)
There were some minor problems with planning/communication and executing on wedding day, but overall was not something that ruined or would deter us from working with them again in the future at events (hence the 4 stars).
Any questions?

They did a good job and the service was good however, they didn’t really do much as far as deals went. They food was decent but the chicken was a little over done and the prime rib wasn’t served with any aju or horse radish sauce. I wouldn’t change the venue for the world we had a great time but it also wasn’t really cool that there was also another event going on right outside and we actually had some people venture up there from the dialing pianos so that wasn’t really cool. We also had to book both sides of the room otherwise they would’ve tried to book another event on the other half.

We were absolutely thrilled and so happy with our experience with Minnesota Horse and Hunt Club. This was the perfect venue for us. Judy and Jude were so exceptional throughout the entire planning process. Our family and friends commented at how wonderful and unique the venue was. We are very thankful we were able to have our big day at such an amazing venue!

We cannot say enough great things about this venue! The staff was amazing. The food was fantastic. It was excellent to have our ceremony and reception at the same venue. We also used the lodge for our rehearsal dinner and we stayed in the nature's inn suites. So convenient and the member discount was an awesome bonus! Jade is an amazing manager of this venue! Thank you for everything to Judy and Jade!!!! Memories for a lifetime!

I could not have imagined my wedding day to be any better. The MN Horse and Hunt club had the ceremony and reception set up beautifully and all the guests loved their food. Very easy people to work with.

The Horse and Hunt Club was the perfect setting for our our "Old West" themed wedding. Gorgeous overview of marshes and a large pond, surrounded by trees, and not far from the cities. The food was delicious as well - a pig roast was the way to go! Some small aspects of the service could use improvement (i.e. beverages, more attention to detail, etc). However, communication with the staff should solve any of these issues.

Great photo scenes. Reception area is too hot. When asked the head coordinator we were told the ac was all the way up. Turns out a staff member walked in after dinner service and said it felt hot and turned the thermastat down. Food was wonderful. Myself and everyone was sweating buckets in May none-the-less. Although that mishap, we had a wonderful wedding.

We thought we would struggle with selecting a location that felt intimate yet could handle all of our guests. Minnesota Horse and Hunt Club was such a gorgeous facility and backdrop for our ceremony and reception. Their entire staff was fantastic to work with and helped us with every question and detail. The price was extremely fair especially considering the food tasted great and the service was excellent. We would definitely recommend them!

This was the PERFECT venue for my rustic country wedding. We're both hunters, but I still wanted class. It was fabulous. The staff made everything very easy and the food was delicious. I have more compliments from guests about the venue and the food than I know what to do with! I Highly Highly recommend checking this out for your reception - and ceremony! They usually schedule everything after the range is closed as well, though it wasn't a problem for us since we scheduled a 'fun shoot' with the bride and groom before social hour! Loved every minute. Thank you.
