Pettibone Resort

hat we could have the venue to rehearse, but locked the doors. Gave us our final bill 3 days before the wedding. Forced the father of the bride to pay for the open bar without the bride or groom knowing when there was a different plan discussed.

eel super comfortable and excited about the venue. If we would’ve toured with the current venue manager, we wouldn’t have chosen to have our reception there. We could tell (and were told by several other wedding guests) that she seemed like we were bothering her and she didn’t want to be there or be doing that job. So disappointing.

effective (as far as wedding resorts go) and the new staff was pretty accommodating to many of my requests. Highly recommended for the more simplistic bride who likes a cozy atmosphere and more relaxed venue.

ooks so lovely! We had our wedding and reception there and the owner was taking over as manager/event planner while they look for a replacement, and she was extremely helpful, kind, and flexible. We had the best day! I think you get great value for cost and the views of the river are just priceless! Having everything in one location was so convenient as well. The only thing I would say could use an upgrade are the chairs in the dining hall- they are a standard black pleather banquet chair; we ordered and used chair covers to match the white tablecloths so it wasn't a huge deal, but it was an extra cost for us. Overall, we had a really good experience at Pettibone Resort.

hing and they did. They were very friendly and prompt. Everything went very smooth. We also had our ceremony on the deck overlooking the river. It was perfect even though the river was really high. I would highly recommend this venue for anyone wanting an outdoorsy atmosphere for their wedding.

set on the river bank with windows overlooking the setting - gorgeous. It was blistery cold, so we couldn't enjoy much outside, but we were having a blast inside anyway. I'd highly recommend Pettibone Resort.

the few curve balls I threw him on the day of! The location is beautiful it is located right off the Mississippi River and the Ceremony location has a beautiful view of it. The pictures on his website does not do it justice! The resception location was so well set up! They had the reception (dinner/dance room) they had a seperate room for the bar, and a seperate location for the buffet line. Being set up like that made it feel like the place was huge because the only time that every one was in the same room together was for dinner after that some of our guests went back out side and enjoyed the beautiful scenery and wonderful weather, some went and hung out at the bar and most stayed in the banquet room. I can not talk enough about this space everyone at our wedding enjoyed it and though it was amazing. The banquet facility is located off a camp ground so if you have some guests that dont mind camping before the wedding they are open to do so. Chris was again amazing he was able to direct where me and my groom were set to go and what times! He really has it down to a skill and there isnt much he hasnt seen or has been surprised about he will give you pointers when you feel you need them and then also keep quiet when he may know something might not work out well but its something you really want (IE. ISLE RUNNERS!)The food was amazing! Their chicken with white wine sauce was the big favorite with the whole group. When J and I were looking in to booking spaces we actually live in Minnesota but we couldnt find anything that fit our "Woody" feel the moment we walked in the door of this location we fell in love we knew that we were sold on it right from the start!
