Rockwoods is the best value out there. You get so much for what you pay for - they are reasonably priced and forward about their pricing. It includes a day of coordinator who makes sure everything happens as it should. We got to completely enj...
oy our day because they took care of everything - no one from our family or friends had to set up or tear down anything! Not to mention Rockwoods has endless inventory of items you can choose for decorations so there's no need to buy 200+ of something you will never use again.
Our gets raved about how good the food was. It came out hot and very quickly so no one was sitting there hungry. We live in the are and the banquet food as just as good and fresh as what you would order in the restaurant!
Katie and team were amazing to work with. They are all positive energetic and knowledgeable. Thank you for helping to make our wedding day perfect!

Allie, thank you so so much for your wonderful review! It was an absolute pleasure to host you and Blaec for your big today. We do take pride in being a one-stop-shop, and all of our coordinators had so much fun working with the two of you!
Rockwoods is amazing! If you are nervous about booking a wedding venue due to Covid, you MUST book with Rockwoods. They are so accommodating and flexible -- Katie, Megan and the team will go above and beyond to fulfill any requests. There are m...
any horror stories with venues pocketing money after the wedding reception was canceled due to Covid ... This will NOT be the case with Rockwoods! We ended up canceling our wedding reception and will be doing just our Groom's supper at Rockwoods due to Covid, and they have been OUTSTANDING throughout the entire process.
Thank you Rockwoods! Highly recommend.

Thank you so much Krista!!! We're looking forward to seeing you for your Groom's dinner next weekend!
Katie and Meagan knocked it out of the park. The contract was transparent, no surprises. They helped us work through COVID and had so much patience. We did not have to set up or tear down, we rented some of their decor and it was just so perfec...

Tasha, thank you so much for your review! It was an absolute pleasure to help you and Benjamin have such a beautiful wedding in our Four Seasons room! I'm so happy to hear you had such a wonderful experience with us.

Thank you SO much for your review! It was an honor to have you and Charlie with us for your special day. We are so thrilled to hear that you had such a great time :)

ectly. I didn't have to worry about a thing on my wedding day, which is exactly what I wanted. All of our guests couldn't stop raving about how nice the venue was and how delicious their meals were. I will be telling all of my friends who get engaged down the road to look into Rockwoods, it was perfect!

Ally,
Thank you SO much for your review! It was an honor to have you and Dan with us for your special day. We are so thrilled to hear that you had such a great time :)
We started to shop around wedding venues about a year ago before our wedding day and found Rockwoods through different website recommendations. Before meeting with the team, we had dinner at the Rockwoods restaurant and tried their dinner optio...
ns. The food turned out to be amazingly tasteful!
The next day, we made an appointment and met with their manager/wedding coordinator. At this point, we had no idea about our wedding details except for the wedding theme. Katie patiently went over the whole wedding process and even told us that they could make it like a fancy wedding with just a list of guests if we don't have a detailed plan. After the first appointment, they even provided a wedding planning checklist, which turned out to be really helpful!
Throughout the whole planning phase, they periodically checked in with us to make sure everything was in place. A few days before our big day, there were a few changes in our guest list, but everything went perfectly with their help and accommodations.
We brought our own wedding decorations and tags, and the staff decorated the whole place perfectly just as we planned and collected everything for us at the end of the event. That alone saved us a lot of time and effort and gave us peace of mind.
Luckily, they also have an officiant service and we had the pleasure to have Katie as our officiant! The ceremony went smoothly with laughter and emotional moments. We loved it, our family couldn't stop thinking about it, and many of our guests kept saying it was one of the best and most beautiful wedding ceremonies they've been to.
In addition to their superb wedding service, one big reason that we chose Rockwoods is that they have great relationships with other wedding venues (like Mid West Sound DJ), and all the great service comes into one single bill. One-stop shopping. We are amazed by the quality of the DJ and the wedding cakes!! (We just sent the design of the wedding cake we want, and they made exactly the perfect cake!)
All of our guests were impressed by the ceremony and reception services they received (food, drinks, etc.), but also had a fantastic time with the entertainment that the DJ provided. Also, the photo booth (part of DJ package) was a big hit!
If you are from around and looking for a great place to have your beautiful wedding and entertain your guests, then look no further. Great food, fantastic service, helpful staff, and more with an affordable price. We can't recommend highly enough of Rockwoods as your wedding venue!

All three women (Katie, Laurie, and Isabel) were very helpful, responded promptly and understanding of any questions/things that arose both prior and during our wedding. They helped us out any way they could with whatever we needed help with. ...
They provided great customer service and catered to us during our reception at their venue. They were very friendly and fun to work with throughout the whole process.
The food we had at our wedding (Herb Grilled Chicken and Beef Pot Roast) was superb. It was very delicious and the meal was delivered to guests promptly and on time in according to our dinner time. We received dozens of comments from our guests who told us how spectacular the food was.
Our event space and the facility as a whole was just gorgeous. It was decorated very well and was very spacious. The flow of the room and how things were organized was done very well. There was plenty of room for all of our guests to get around and chit chat with other guests, whether it be in the dining room itself or in the bar area as well.
We would definitely recommend using Rockwoods as your wedding venue!

I could not be more pleased with the personal attention and help given to me from planning to start to finish of our wedding day. I came to the Rockwoods with only a sketchy idea of what I wanted and ended up with the wedding of my dreams. Ea...
ch member of the Event Coordinator team were so helpful with creative ideas, patience, and truly wanting it to be what we wanted for our wedding - not their way. I felt like our wedding was the most important event to them. They all knew about our wedding and did not mix it up with other weddings. The Four Seasons Room is beautiful with a fireplace and windows overlooking a garden patio - perfect for our classy small wedding and reception. We were able to let go and totally enjoy 'Our Day' because the wait staff was so attentive to our guests; smiling, helpful, and very professional too. The pot roast dinner was more than delicious! I definitely can recommend the Rockwoods for your event or wedding without hesitation.

Best venue a bride could ask for! These ladies are so great to work with and made things extremely easy! I could enjoy my day without having to look at my watch, they took care of everything. Plus my guests could not stop raving about the food!...
Normally at weddings the food can get cold, not here. This food tasted gourmet and was hot/fresh! I highly recommend this place to anyone for any event :)

Jennifer, thank you so much for your review! We do love to pride ourselves in being a one-stop-shop. We are thrilled to hear that you, Alyssa, and Dylan had a wonderful time!
Professional and insightful. These ladies at rockwoods know their stuff !
The food is a bit over priced for what you get ($26 for a tiny bit of chicken, spoon of mash and few veggies)
If like me you we’re unable to eat before the wedding, don’...
t expect to be satisfied.
Service was timely, order your drinks from the ladies in the room and like magic they find you and serve you.
Shame the outside patio isn’t private as we had gate crashers.
Members of public walking through your wedding to go outside was a bit off putting but we didn’t let it spoil our day.
Also the fire pit wasn’t lit, we had requested . Would have been nice as we had snow that day (April s last flutter) warm up as your smoking
Touch of romance outside.
All in all it’s a great team!
Just don’t expect a meal more a snack.
I loved how helpful the staff was, I loved how they setup all our decorations and the way we wanted it and beyond. Food was excellent everything that we asked for we received. Great experience highly recommend!
My wife and I just had our wedding ceremony and reception at Rockwoods on March 23rd 2019 and it was amazing! Rockwoods blew it out of the water! We had 250 guests, and they do it all for you so the bride and groom and parents don’t have the st...
ress or headache of all the planning and behind the scenes work that goes into a big/small wedding! Katie does an outstanding job with the ceremony, with professionalism but yet religious but also relaxed. Also she personalizes it to the bride and groom.. we had so many come up to us and say how they loved our ceremony, and the vows! And we’re like um Katie did it all you just answer a questionaire and she customized it to the bride and groom. But most importantly the food and drinks service and taste was out of this world. So many compliments from all the guest saying how great their food was, and how timely the bartenders were! Hands down well worth the money to have Rockwoods host your wedding, because they take care of the decorations, food, booze, and entertainment, all with a smile and friendly staff! We can’t thank Katie, Laurie, Kelly and the rest of the Rockwoods staff for all of your help you guys are amazing!

I never knew how stressful planning a wedding is until I started. Katie and the Rockwoods team took away so much stress and worry from the very first meeting we had! They listened to all of our wishes and ideas for our day and made it the most amazing day of our lives! The venue is so beautiful and the staff definitely knows what they are doing when it comes to decorating and details! Our reception was breathtaking and exactly, if not better, how we envisioned it to be! I will ALWAYS recommend Rockswoods to anyone who is planning an event of any kind. They are something special!!

ke changes to suit our needs, and they made the wedding planning process extremely easy. They made sure every detail was covered with the workbook that we filled out with the coordinator. During the weekend of the wedding they did all the set up and take down which relieved a lot of stress. The venue looked gorgeous for our reception. We could not have asked for a better experience and would definitely recommend them.
I have always loved Rockwoods Bar and Grill and when they added a banquet center I always thought it would have been a great place to get married and have a reception. I had no idea that one day my dream would come true and I would get married...
and have my reception at Rockwoods. The whole entire banquet side was absolutely so amazing from the absolute beginning until the very end, they listened to my vision and made it even better than I could have ever imagined. Any questions I ever had were answered immediately and things I hadn't even thought of, they were able to bring to my attention, no detail was missed, they exceeded our expectations!!! The ceremony was so beautiful and the receiving line went so smoothly and it was such an elegant affair, a month later and I am still getting compliments!!!! The food was amazing we had the Steak and Shrimp and the Brushetta Chicken with Raviol, I am also still getting compliments about the food still to this day. I would recommend Rockswood Banquet Center to anyone and everyone!!!
Rockwoods is AWESOME!! Food and service was amazing! I have already recommended them to a friend getting married next year!
They were wonderful! The price was right for what we got! They were SO helpful! They made sure everything was just the way I wanted it to be and it was perfect! There was no stress for me at all related to our venue! I would recommend Rock...
woods to anyone!!! And the food is delicious :)
Angie and team worked so hard to make sure everything was perfect! I received so many compliments on how good the food was and how much fun everyone had. Angie made me feel so comfortable , she took care of everything and made sure I didn't str...
ess. Love her and her team! Thank you again!!
Staff was extremely helpful and professional. Room was decorated beautifully and food tasted excellent. Everyone commented on how nice it was and how much fun they had. Angie was AWESOME
We wanted a small ceremony with a larger social gathering for our marriage (second for both of us). I don't have enough positive words in my vocabulary to explain how terrific the staff at Rockwoods was. Kyle and Angie are THE best! When asked ...
for their opinion, or what they've seen that works, they give an honest answer - and not necessarily the one that will cost more money. They are very responsive, and truly have weddings and receptions down to a science. My mom was certain that I wasn't organized because I wasn't stressed about our big day (we did both the ceremony and reception at Rockwoods) - but everything was taken care of. Our guests raved about what a great experience they had. I absolutely recommend them to anyone considering a large or small wedding with them.
I can't say enough positive things about Rockwoods. Starting with the initial visit, the staff was remarkably friendly, helpful, timely, and courteous. They met all our needs and exceeded our expectations while treating us like family.
The ba...
nquet center itself is the perfect size; not too large, not too small. The architecture in the ceilings along with the beautiful flowing drapery with lights twinkling in it gives the room a gentle elegance. They offer many decorations to rent to help offset the cost. They listen very closely to recreate what the couple has pictured in their mind and boy, do they do a phenomenal job. They offer their opinions based on experience but if you want it a different way, they gladly accommodate.
Their food selections are great. They are tasty, they can be personalized, and they sure fill you up.
We did both our ceremony and reception at Rockwoods. Since we live in New York (we are an Army family), the helpfulness of Angie and her staff was key to making our day so special for not only us, but our guests as well. We are so thankful to the team at Rockwoods and would HIGHLY recommend them/it to any engaged or married couple.
Our reception was beautiful and went very smoothly thanks to the amazing banquet team at Rockwoods. Our wedding party and guests had a blast. It was a perfect evening!
Fabulous, just fabulous! Angie and her team are amazing. They were prompt in responding to questions, extremely detail oriented, creative and talented, understanding, professional, and fun too! They were really the best a person could ask for. ...
After researching places in the Twin Cities and up to St. Cloud, I found their rates were very competitive. The food was phenomenal (NY Strip Steak and "fancy" Chicken. The reception room was very pretty. You can bring your decorations days before, and they take care of decorating for you! All in all, they just make everything EASY, ORGANIZED, and SOPHISTICATED. Thank you!
Rockwoods does an amazing job! As a bride you don't want stress you don't want to deal with unexpected problems. Rockwoods is awesome with this, they have quick responses they come up with pretty sweet ideas and they have awesome customer servi...
ce. The day before the reception we came to drop off personal items and unexpectedly they unloaded out vehicle and helped us with everything we had to unload. The employees are so kind and sweet they are very respectful and helpful. I definitely recommend them to anyone, also very cheap for a wedding reception
We had our wedding reception at Rockwoods on 04/12/2014. From the first time we looked at the venue, to deciding to go with them, through all the planning, and after they have been nothing short of amazing. I am a very detail orientated and a...
bit of a perfectionist so probably not the easiest for people to work with and they were just fabulous. They responded to my hundreds of emails always promptly and made time for our viewings, tastings, and meetings at times they werent always supposed to be there.
The staff here set everything up for us with no additional "wedding planner" charge. They also took down everything. This was such a relief and they did a beautiful job! I walked over to the venue around noon on the day of the wedding and they had at least 5 people working on every detail of the room. By details I mean: drapings, flowers, centerpieces, beads, pictures, gift table, seat assignments, beads, chair covers & sashes, and more! It was nothing short of glamorous!
On to the food... The food was also very tasty! We chose the pork tenderloin and chicken marsala and I have gotten many compliments from our guests since then about how much they loved it.
The morning after the reception a group of us had brunch in the restaurant side and that was amazing too! There was so much variety! After brunch we returned to the banquet part and found all of our flowers and other props put together in a neatly arranged area so we could just grab them and go! Top notch service!!!!! In my opinion this venue is under priced in comparison to others we looked at and also others we have been guests at.
Thanks again Rockwoods Banquet Hall!!

The venue was beautiful! They took my decorations and made the place more beautiful than I could have imagined. Angie and her staff are fantastic to work with and the food was outstanding! I had so many compliments on the venue! Holiday Inn is ...
right across the street, but make sure to block rooms right away, since I was not able to with a holiday party blocked off a year in advance. Rockwoods was affordable and threw in a lot of extras! They had great brochures to show what came with or that you could rent from them and they were quick to respond!
Rockwoods was awesome. They managed everything for me allowing me to enjoy my day. Many compliments about food and decor.
Rockwoods was exceptional! Angie and her staff were absolutely amazing and professional since the day we first walked in to the event center to look at the space. Each and every person through out the whole process made our wedding day so speci...
al and above and beyond what my husband and I had ever imagined in our minds. The staff made sure the day was perfect and did a great job.
Rockwoods was a great overall experience, the staff is amazing and are there whenever you need them. The reception was so beautiful, it was more beautiful then I dreamed it would be when I walked in. My only complaint is that my wedding was at ...
the end of August and it was very hot inside the banquet hall and we had a few complaints about guests chicken being too pink at dinner. Overall tho we had a wonderful experience and would recommend them to anyone.
everything was perfect!
Rockwoods was our first and only choice for the location of our wedding reception. We have always loved the food and service, but we were blown away by the tasting and quality of food available for dinner options. Also, Angle and her crew make ...
planning a wedding reception cake! We dropped off decorations a few days before and they worked their magic and everything was beautiful! When dinner was served, one guest commented that they loved that the servers were wearing gloves and when serving the head table, the servers lined up behind us and sat everyone's food down in sync. No detail was left unturned and it was noticed and appreciated. Thank you Rockwoods for making our reception effortless, beautiful, and memorable for all of our 200 guests!
Great food and the staff was very friendly and helpful!
Thank you to all of the Rockwoods staff for making our day so amazing! The food was beyond what we could have expected. The room was more beautiful than I could have imagined! My friends and family are still talking about how it was "the bes...
t wedding they have ever been too". Thank you Rockwoods!!
We had about 35 guests at our grooms dinner, so Angie at Rockwoods was able to help us rent their banquet room, set a limited menu and she even added little personalization s to the room and menu!
I cannot even explain how amazing Rockwoods was for our wedding reception. Angie did such an amazing job! The site was beautiful-- they set it all up and I don't think I could have done a better job if I tried. I am a control freak so I was ner...
vous that I would want to do it on my own, but it was perfect and there is not ONE thing I would change about our day. I will recommend Rockwoods to anyone and everyone looking for a perfect wedding day. I want to do it all over again just like it was! PLUS it was very reasonable!
This place was wonderful to work with and was very reasonably priced. Staff was great as well.
Everything turned out perfect! Highly recommended!
We had our rehearsal dinner at Rockwoods and the food/service was great! The quality of the food was spectacular and tasted really good.
Angie was amazing at getting back to me whenever I had a question! We came up with different decoration ideas and she had some great input. Overall the place looked fab, its so nice that they decorate for you, you just leave what you want the...
re and they do the rest! Angie even took pictures of everything setup! (which was great cuz my photographer did not take any pics of the decorations!) The food was delish and for what you get the price is very reasonable! The only reason I gave a four out of five star in service is because the servers took way too long getting the food out to the tables and therefore our dance time was shorted by about an hour. I highly recommend Rockwoods!
I couldn't have asked for much more. They did a great job setting everything up and did a great job decorating. It was our favorite place and ended up being the lowest in cost of the ones we were looking for. Plus it shared a parking lot with a...
hotel so people didn't need to drive. Angie was great. She took away so much stress. We also got a lot of compliments on the food.
We had a great time working with Rockwoods. They were so professional and took care of all of the details so that we just had to show up and have fun at the reception. The food was great and the room looked magical. We had an unseasonably wa...
rm day and the staff was even prepared for it, they had the patio all ready and kept a bonfire stoked for the guests to enjoy. What a great night!
Angie, the Banquet manager, was amazing to work with. I dropped off all of my Reception items the Wednesday prior to the wedding and she had everything set up and took before pictures for me. The food was amazing, although I would not recommend...
going with the cheesecake table as your cake, we had so many compliments it was great! Their staff also took care of the tear down and all I had to was come the folling monday and pick up to items. My wxperience at Rockwoods was so stress free and I have no regrets!! I would recommend this to all of my family and friends.
The room and staff were great!
Such great customer service and a very intimate room! Staff was extremely helpful and attentive throughout the entire evening.
Our number one comment from our guests was how great the food was. We had wonderful apps, 2 plated dinner options and late-night pizza. All fabulous. we also did a dessert bar with the majority of desserts on site. I'd highly recommend.
The employees were extremely helpful and were there to please. They set and took down EVERYTHING. I gave them the basic idea of what I wanted things to look like for example I set up one of the tables for them to see. They took care of the...
rest. I walked in and had my breath taken away! It was more beautiful than I had imagined. They have a great eye for detail and everything was set up perfectly.

Events Director
With 15 years in the industry, weddings truly are my life's passion. I love being able to help couples plan the day they have been dreaming of. I have been at Rockwoods since 2006, and have been the event center director since 2014. I was also a consultant at dress & tux boutique so I can fix a bustle or dress mishap on the fly! I even had my own wedding at Rockwoods in 2009 when I married my husband, & now we have two daughters. I started officiating wedding ceremonies in 2016, and have now legally married over 50 couples.
