My husband and I toured this venue during the winter and were just blown away by the way it looked! We got married in the fall of 2024 and it was the best day ever. The colors were perfect. I love that there was so many different areas to do a ceremony and how spaced out the venue was. My husband isn’t much of a “dancer” so it was important to have a space the boys could hang out and still be able to have a conversation without music blaring in their ears. I highly recommend this venue!

Our wedding at Rolling Ridge was absolutely perfect! The team there is super helpful! They provided a Google Drive with a wedding planning checklist, vendor recommendations, seating arrangements, and so much more! They gave us a great recommendation for our DJ (Digital Encore). During the summer they have Bonfire Wednesdays in which you have the opportunity to listen to live music, eat pizza, and show loved ones the venue. We went many times and it made planning with our florist easier. We got a lot of compliments on the venue from our guests. I would recommend Rolling Ridge if you want a beautiful and stress free wedding.

The staff was incredibly attentive and professional, ensuring every detail was flawless. And the amenities! Luxurious bridal suite, elegant barn, every space was perfect. It was the perfect setting for our fairytale wedding. I can't recommend this venue enough!

Every step of the way Rolling Ridge provided an easy, welcoming experience. And really are getting all the bang for your buck! We started the process by touring a few years ago after not finding anything that matched what we wanted closer to home. As soon as we parked at the venue, I looked at my now-husband, and said "we're getting married here". We also took advantage of some of the wood-fired Wednesdays to help with visually planning where we wanted decor to go. That's where we worked with Nikki and got all of our questions answered. When we did our final walk through with Jill, she made sure everything was documented for the day to a T so everyone was on the same page. When gotI got to the venue, my MOH and I met with Maddy, our event coordinator for the day, and she was present and available for anything we needed last minute in regards to setup and executing the plan we had made. The day went amazing! We only got a bit behind but that was mostly due to me and my husband wanting to get more pictures in. The whole team at Rolling Ridge is so supportive and their property is so beautiful. We couldn't recommend them more!

The most beautiful venue for the most perfect day! We received countless compliments from our guests. We appreciated the options of both indoor and outdoor spaces, especially with the unpredictability of an early November wedding in Minnesota. The RR team made the planning process incredible and were always available for questions. We recommend Rolling Ridge to anyone and everyone!

We attended a summer wedding at Rolling Ridge for our very best friends. Leading up to the wedding we were part of every process and couldn't believe the value Rolling Ridge provided for our friends in their flat facility rental fee that included SO MANY extras. The venue is stunning and private, there were so many spaces that could be utilized for every element of the wedding. Knowing all of this before showing up on the day of the event still didn't prepare us for the incredible experience we had. The ceremony was intimate and emotional on the ridge covered by massive oak trees, the dinner inside the historic barn was served professionally, the food was delicious and it was fresh, the bar service was excellent and the couples signature cocktail was so good. As part of the bridal party we got to hang out in the basement speakeasy which felt exclusive and was a great place to take a few moments to ourselves during the day. And then we ended the night dancing away underneath the stars in the courtyard and snacking on delicious woodfired pizzas. I don't think we've had such a beautiful, fun and relaxed experience at a wedding and that is largely due to how easy Rolling Ridge made the day with all their onsite services and inclusions. We highly recommend!

September 2023 - We had the most perfect day! As mom of the bride, I got to attend the final walk through with Nikki about a month prior to wedding. She did a fabulous job talking through all the details and was readily available to answer questions as we did some mock decor setups. Day of, Custom Catering staff was at our disposal. They were very efficient in their set up so we could take care of our decor and final touches. Our day of coordinator was very helpful, in particular taking care of some tasks we didn't have time for (turning on lantern candles while we enjoyed happy hour!). What I loved most was the expanse of this property for our guests to enjoy. It was a beautiful day so we were able to enjoy every inch of the place - indoor and out. The catering staff and bartenders were on top of everything ... very professional and wonderful with our guests. One last thing - I had used a crochet hook to secure the buttons on my daughter’s dress and it didn't make it back from wedding. It was from my mother in law who is deceased so it had some sentimental value. I called Nikki two weeks after the wedding to see if it had been found. It had not. A few hours later, I had gotten a message that they did a deep dive into the couch cushions in the bridal suite and found it! I appreciated the extra effort:)

have been able to assist you leading up to wedding day, day of, and especially after! There are so many sentimental items at weddings and it fills our hearts to help make sure they find their way back home. Love that you and your guests explored the grounds and savored such a perfect day!

We got married at Rolling Ridge in August and I can honestly say it was the perfect day! They made everything so easy and stress free by having us come out to the venue a month before to walk through final details. Plus we were able to go on Wednesday nights during Woodfired Wednesday to plan by ourselves which was nice because we got to experience kind of what the atmosphere might be like! We got married on a Friday and were able to do our rehearsal dinner and set up there the night before which was great, but I think we totally would have had enough time had we just had one day because doing everything there and having Custom Catering set up the dinner and ceremony seating meant we had very little to do--our photographer commented that it was the first wedding she'd ever done where hair and make up were done ahead of schedule and I honestly think it was because we could start at 8am and had nothing else to do! 100% would recommend this venue to everyone; it was perfect!

It was a beautiful venue, but was extremely expensive. They make you pay for absolutely everything but linens. They forbid outside food and beverages except for dessert/cake and then force you to use their catering service only. No one mentioned that there wasn’t a freezer and our wedding cake was ice cream cake, so that was a disaster. The day of coordinator appeared to be a very new young girl who didn’t seem very experienced. And you have to do a rehearsal the same day or pay an arm and a leg if your wedding is on a Saturday. Apparently the kids meals were so over cooked the kids couldn’t eat them, the veggies were definitely not what we had seen and tasted with the caterer. At least there is a playground for the kids and they let us haul in our own arch and get married in between the oak trees. I was very disappointment with the customer service and felt pulled around by all the extra charges I didn’t realize we would need. Like insurance and lunch packages.

We wouldn’t have changed a single thing for our wedding on October 9,2022. The service was excellent. The grounds were in perfect fall colors. We had a string quartet, and there were areas that seemed to be made for them to play.
A friend of mine decorated the outside and inside areas, and the look was so classy.
We had specific requests—like a unique square design for tables for the meal. The staff helped us to make it a reality.
The root cellar was a cool place for the guys to get ready for the ceremony. The bridal area was roomy and well laid out for all of the ladies in our party.
Cocktail hour was in the bar area and outside seating adjoining, complete with Adirondack chairs and bonfires.
The meal was delicious and served professionally.
We had a twist contest during our dance and it was such fun!!
The historic barn was the ideal venue for our dinner and dance.
We had guests stay at the Hilton Garden Suites which was less than a 10 minute drive away.
We were so lucky to have Rolling Ridge in central MN! They made our day one of good memories.

We wanted something away from the cities and this was the perfect location! We got married here in July so their garden was in bloom which added even more to the beauty of this venue! The staff was extremely helpful and answered every email we sent promptly and was super personable in every interaction we had with them via email and in person. The space was huge inside and outside of the venue so our guests were able to roam around. The barn was the perfect setting for the amount of guests we had and we also loved the dance floor being outside with lots of nice lighting. Our guests still talks about how beautiful the venue was!

Rolling Ridge was such a beautiful backdrop for our wedding reception and photos! The grounds are extremely well kept and they spray for bugs which made the patio very comfortable for a July wedding day. We loved the onsite bridal suite for getting ready in the morning, but because we couldn't have access to the venue until 8am, we did have to start hair at the hotel. The guys getting ready space (rooster's roost) was not adequately climate controlled with a wall mounted AC unit, so they found space in the central part of the venue to hang out which led to a few close calls where the bride and groom almost ran into each other. Rolling Ridge staff were helpful making sure all of the details were addressed in the final walkthrough and answering last minute questions via email to help the day go smoothly.
There are additional fees outside of the base rental price, which is already quite high compared to other venues in the area that we toured. These fees include optional rental of an additional space downstairs (which would be an excellent area for the guys to get ready in a climate controlled space), set up of tables and chairs for dinner in the barn, and event insurance purchased by the couple. While they are transparent about these costs, it seems as though the high rental fee should cover more of an "all-inclusive" experience where the couple doesn't have to worry about coordinating and paying for these extra options. By working with Rolling Ridge, you are locked into working with Custom Catering by Short Stop for all food & beverage needs throughout the day (including breakfast and lunch if onsite for those times of the day). There were times where miscommunication occurred between venue staff, our Custom Catering event coordinator, and our Custom Catering day of coordinator which took time to resolve.
Overall, we received many compliments about the beauty of the venue and loved the indoor and outdoor spaces available for pictures and celebrating throughout the night. However, considering the price we paid, we wish customer service would have been more personalized. We didn't know who our point of contact for the venue was until our final walkthrough 3 weeks before the wedding. We felt as if we were just another wedding in their books and it took away from the feeling that they viewed our day as a special and one-of-a-kind event like we did.

Rolling Ridge is the perfect wedding venue. They make it easy to plan your ideal wedding day and provide you with all the support you need to enjoy the planning process and the day itself. Rolling Ridge offered a great space to host all of our guests and offer them multiple spaces to gather, inside and outside. We planned to have our ceremony outside but the weather had other ideas and we had to make a day-of change, which was easy and painless because of the indoor ceremony space options and flexibility of Rolling Ridge staff. Later in the day, the rain cleared and we were able to enjoy the courtyard during cocktail hour. When it was time for the dance, rain was threatening again and we set up the dance indoors. Having all of these beautiful spaces made it easy for us to work with the weather without ruining our day or causing extra stress. And it turned out perfectly despite the changes. We would definitely recommend Rolling Ridge for anyone hoping to get married in central Minnesota!

Pick ANY OTHER beautiful Venue for your wedding! Rolling Ridge has been issued a Court ordered judgement to refund our $4570 (deposit + court fees) pursuant to contract clause #9 which states monies will be refunded if the event cannot be held due to (among other issues) government issued orders. Due to Covid restrictions, our wedding could not be held as planned. Despite the issuance of this judgement, and our offering an extended repayment plan, they are laughing at us and saying they'll "never refund our money as they could have had the event"....They could NOT. They have even mocked our friend's home (as below par) where we did hold the wedding. The failure to pay this judgement is a true reflection of the business as well as the personal character of the individual running it...

e dipped our feet back in, but beautiful nonetheless.
A week later we hosted our second gorgeous wedding post COVID shutdown with double the amount of people as our first. It went smoothly and everyone was able to socially distance while celebrating the new couple.
By the next week, we were back into the swing of things and the day before you should have gotten married at Rolling Ridge, we hosted another stunning wedding for a couple who was so happy we were able to move forward with their day as planned.
We would have loved to host your wedding on June 27th. It was a beautiful summer day without a cloud in the sky and a temp in the mid-80˚s. I remember giving tours that day and wishing we were hosting your wedding because it would have been perfect.
With a fire capacity of over 500 and 14 acres of lawn, your guests would have been able to socially distance comfortably. We wish we had been able to discuss all the different options we had for spacing people out as we were able to do with our other couples. However, you were not interested in hosting your wedding with us if there were any restrictions whatsoever.
Just like COVID was not something you had planned on, it was not something we had planned on, but as more and more information became available, we did our best to come up with solutions to keep our couples safe while enjoying their wedding. Perhaps we could not have hosted your wedding exactly as you had originally planned, but no one, in any business in the world, could continue on exactly as they had originally planned. We could have hosted your reception completely outside as some of our couples chose to do. We could have put up a tent in case of inclement weather. We could have had some people inside and some people outside giving people even more space. Your outdoor dance surely would have been a hit. Some of our couples had guests come in shifts. Some had smaller ceremonies with close family and grandparents who then left when the rest of the guests arrived for dinner and the reception. It was truly amazing all the different ways our couples found to still celebrate their day with us.
Now we understood that some people were just not comfortable moving forward with their wedding during the COVID pandemic. We get it. So for our couples who chose not to host their wedding on their original date when we legally could, we worked to find another suitable date later in 2020. For couples moving outside of 2020, we asked for a rebooking fee to make up for the revenue we were going to lose by giving them another date which we then couldn’t sell in the future. So many of our couples were gracious and understanding, they worked with us to find another date and understood that as a small business we were struggling. It is the understanding of these couples that have helped us stay open through this.
We tried to discuss the options we had moving forward with your original date and then when you were not interested, we tried to find another date that would work for you. With each new idea we offered, we hit a roadblock. You didn’t feel comfortable getting married on your date (which you still did), you didn’t want another date in 2020, and you didn’t want to pay a rebooking fee for 2021. Instead, you chose to have your wedding on someone’s private property with way more people than deemed acceptable by the Executive Order at the time.
I cannot begin to explain the amount of time and energy as well as worry and stress your wedding caused. I wish you had chosen to get married with us; you were a beautiful bride and I am 100% positive we could have hosted your wedding safely on that day as we did in the weeks before your date and the weeks following your date.
I am sorry you still feel the need to attack us on social media and the internet with claims that we are “unethical,” “greedy,” and other such things you have called us. It hurts our hearts knowing you feel this way and continue to say these things even after we tried to offer you solutions and work with you to make the wedding happen. We take solace in knowing our other couples know who we are and have had beautiful wedding days with us even during COVID.
As we are sure you know, following a court's decision, it takes time to get the paperwork in order and things transferred. Because you took this so far, we cannot simply send you a check but must go through the proper channels. We have been working with our attorney on this. This takes time. You must go through them. We are a small business with few employees who also have lives outside of worrying about your wedding and all it has cost us. Please consider this next time you feel the need to call us nasty names.

Brides BEWARE! of this Venue! Rolling Ridge could NOT host our June 2020 wedding due to Covid restrictions. According to our contract, they were obligated to refund our deposit. We had to take them to court and a judgement was issued for them to refund our money. They are still refusing to refund our $4500! What an unprofessional manner in which to operate a business....
response 01/13/2021
Nicole- The weather was perfect and we WERE open for business on June 27th when we should ...
have been hosting your wedding here (legally) at Rolling Ridge. Your guests would have appreciated the extra space to socially distance and I'm sure they would have been delighted to ditch the red solo cups and porta-pots you offered them in the mechanic shop where you hosted your wedding that day instead. Make no mistake- you were a beautiful bride and your hubby was dashing as well. It's just that the photos you shared publicly on social media tell the story quite well of your complete disregard for the Governor issued EO-20-63 that strictly prohibited "gatherings of 10 or more people at private properties ."
We wish you the best even though YOU and Ben chose not to celebrate your special day with us.

My daughter got married there New Years Eve 2020. The staff was extremely helpful, accommodating, professional, and genuinely cared about helping to make it a perfect day for everyone. I can’t say enough about how awesome Emily and Randy were. It is a beautiful place and they have wonderful people to go with it. With a last minute change in wedding plans, Rolling Ridge stepped up in a BIG way to help make it all possible. I can not recommend them enough! This is the place for your wedding!

Rolling Ridge is the best wedding venue out there! We honestly had zero issues and everything was just simple and stressfree, which is what you need out of a wedding venue! From the moment we booked our first tour to our big day - everything went so smoothly! The entire staff at Rolling Ridge is so great great and helpful! As said in another review - we really didn't need a whole lot of decorations/extras as the wedding venue in itself is so beautiful. Everyone had such a great time and we wish we could relive the day over and over again! Can't wait to come back this summer for woodfired Wednesdays to be back in the place we said "I DO"!

Rolling Ridge is an absolutely breathtaking venue. We loved that we got to choose our ceremony location, making each wedding held there unique in its own way. We got so many compliments about how beautiful the venue was. Not only were we blown away by the beauty of the venue, the staff and management were so easy to work with throughout the entire process. From the initial meeting to the day of, communication was never an issue. Rolling Ridge took care of everything the day of, making it easy for us to enjoy the day. We highly recommend Rolling Ridge!

We truly had the most beautiful wedding day here! The moment I stepped out of the car to tour Rolling Ridge, I knew it was “the one”. It was so naturally gorgeous, inviting and comfortable. I loved that I didn’t have to have too much decor because of how beautiful everywhere is outside and inside the barn as well. The staff were extremely helpful, reliable and easy going. We picked this venue pre-Covid and were thrilled to be able to have space for guests to celebrate with us however they were comfortable. The highlight for us and the thing that our guests still rave about was having an outdoor dance under the stars and twinkling lights! Highly recommend having your big day here.. it is the best!

We absolutely fell in love with this venue the very first time we saw it. Randy and his whole team were so welcoming and encouraged us to make our day exactly what we wanted it to be. From the flexibility of Randy and his team, to the many different ceremony locations to choose from, to the patio with our reception under the stars, it was magical! We will continue to go back each year for their Wood-fired Wednesdays to reminisce about our wedding day. We couldn’t have been any more pleased than we were with Rolling Ridge.

I just don't even know where to begin with this review. Words cannot express how thrilled we were to have chosen Rolling Ridge for our venue. We barely got out of the car for our tour and we knew it was going to be the place that we said "I Do!". The grounds are absolutely breathtaking and every guest shared the same words as they explored the day of our wedding. Through all of the uncertainty of COVID, Randy and his staff were nothing less than amazing. They gave such a sense of piece and calm through all of the choas of planning. They went out of their way to make our day more incredible and special than we ever even imagined it would be. I have shared with so many and will continue to share our amazing experience with Rolling Ridge as we are just beyond thankful for all of their help in making our day so special.

Rolling Ridge was the best venue we could ask for! They were so great to work with and very welcoming to us and our ideas! It’s been 3 months since our wedding and we are still getting so many compliments on our venue! Their staff, decorations, assistance, EVERYTHING was 10/10. We could not have asked for a better environment for our first day of the rest of our lives as husband and wife!
Can’t wait for more Wood fire Wednesday’s to come!

Totally thought we left this review earlier, but better late than never! Rolling Ridge was the perfect event for our wedding! From the first time we toured with Randy we knew it was the place for us. Both Brooke and Randy were very patient and helpful in the planning process and made us feel comfortable on our wedding day. We really appreciated the upfront pricing and "non hidden fees" that Rolling Ridge had. If you have looked at other venues you know there can be a lot of hidden fees and we feel that RR was very up front with what was included in the price. Everything went off without a hitch. We were glad to have the option of an indoor plan B in place, as even in May the weather turned for the worse but we had fast turnaround for a beautiful indoor ceremony.
The only comment for improvement we would note is that the Rooster's Roost could really use a space heater so you don't have to bring your own when it's cold out.
Thanks guys!

My wife and I got married in Late June 2019 and had the most perfect day! We had both our ceremony and reception at Rolling Ridge and utilized all of the grounds as our ceremony and dance were hosted outside while dinner and bar were hosted in the air conditioned barn/lounge. The space can be described as a dream venue with beautiful landscaping and amazing re-faced buildings throughout the entire property.
All aspects of staff involvement were pleasant. Brooke was amazing to work with when planning our special day. Our day of coordinator Lyndsey had such a positive attitude and was super sweet, helpful, and available throughout the entire day to assist with any needs that came up! Hailey with custom catering was super friendly and easy to work with. We received great feedback on all our food and the service provided. 6/5 stars!

Rolling Ridge was an absolute dream! We are so happy that we chose this place for our big day. The staff is so amazing and friendly and really cares about every detail to make sure your day is perfect! The venue location is stunning with so many options for ceremony and reception both inside and out and we loved that and having the flexibility to choose. There is so much space at the venue too which was great as we had over 200 people. The price can add up because you have to buy insurance, and if you don't want to worry about ceremony or reception set up, you need to buy a package through the caterer, which is expensive... but overall, I would highly recommend this beautiful location!

Our late August wedding at Rolling Ridge was an absolute dream. From the moment we arrived for our first tour of the venue, we fell in love with the charm, elegance, and timeless feel of Rolling Ridge. We were looking for a venue in Central MN that fit our personalities and we found just that in Rolling Ridge. The entire property is beautiful and provided endless opportunities (both inside and outside) for our photographer and videographer the day of our wedding (seriously, even the parking lot and bathrooms are beautiful). We didn't have to stress about going over board on decorations, extra lights, or drapery because of the natural beauty of the property and barn. Brooke and Randy were wonderful to work with the entire process. You can feel that they are genuine and truly care about the couples they work with! They answered questions promptly and made wedding planning such a breeze. Our day of coordinator, Haley, was awesome and made sure that all details were attended to the day of - leaving the both of us to enjoy our day to the fullest. We loved that we were able to spend our entire wedding day in one spot - this allowed us to have a stress free day and enjoy more time with each other and our guests. Our guests are still raving about the beautiful venue, delicious food, and awesome service provided by all at Rolling Ridge. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding day and would choose Rolling Ridge a million times over!

We got married in mid-October and the venue was so spectacular (and the service staff so amazing) that we had zero worries about any potential rain, snow or whatever! The barn proved to be an intimate, festive place to have our dance since it was a little chilly outside, but had it been just 50 degrees we would've taken advantage of the spectacular outdoor space. While the wedding day is ultimately what matters most, Rolling Ridge (Brooke) and the staff were so freaking kind to us and in constant contact with details that really matter. That's why the day was pulled off so perfectly. It also made for the perfect central location. We live in the Twin Cities but have family all over Minnesota, so it wound up being a 60- to- 90-minute drive at most for pretty much every guest. It's a big space that stays intimate, and that's tough to do. I'll definitely get married there again! (just kidding!)

Rolling Ridge was by far one of the best choices (aside from saying "yes" to marry one another) we had made for our wedding day. Brooke was absolutely wonderful to work with from beginning to end! She was quick to respond to inquiries, gave us a thorough walkthrough and was such a wonderful person to work with throughout the whole process.
During our wedding day, all of the staff at Rolling Ridge was on top of the schedule, able to answer questions we had, and kept the day moving smoothly without any issue! We had a little over 200 people that came to our wedding and we were told by guests that they didn't even know we had that many people invited or there because there was so much space, but yet felt so intimate and I know the staff kept people moving when they needed to be moved to the right spot. We couldn't have asked for a better group of people to help make our wedding day beautiful and allow us and our guests to enjoy every minute of it. So many of our guests complimented the venue, the food, and the amazing staff! Thank you so much for an amazing wedding day!!
