Addison was a dream to work with. We had our wedding booked for a mini-weekend and it was so worth it for ease of having a place for bridal party to stay, a rehearsal dinner locati...
on, and wedding all in one place. I appreciated that there was also an auto-back-up plan in case of adverse weather (which we didn't need, but was a nice peace of mind). I also ended up booking her for day-of-coordinating, which is a new service she offers and what a dream it was. I did not have to worry about any set-up, tear down, or hiccups, as she had it handled. I had several of my bridal party as well as guests comment on how nice of a venue it was, how the enjoyed that there was an outside space, a more quite downstairs, and the main party upstairs to allow guests to engage in what they felt most comfortable in for my guests (I have some partiers and I have some more subdued friends, so it was best of both worlds). I also had several ask if Addison provided DOC outside of Rustic - she was that good!
We recently celebrated our wedding at Rustic Oaks, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice! The property is absolutely stunning, featuring a variety of picturesque locations per...
fect for photo sessions. Every corner offers a breathtaking backdrop that made our day even more special.
A standout aspect of our experience was the incredible support from the owner, Addi. She was not only helpful but also incredibly reassuring throughout the planning process. She gave us the reassurance we really needed at our lowest moment in the planning process. Her flexibility and willingness to accommodate our needs made everything so much easier, allowing us to focus on enjoying our day.
If you’re looking for a beautiful venue with a dedicated team that truly cares, we wholeheartedly recommend Rustic Oaks. It exceeded all our expectations!
Rustic Oaks is amazing. Beautiful place, wonderful staff especially Addison whom we worked with the most. She is friendly, helpful, considerate and attentive. She made my wife and ...
I feel so welcome every time we were there and we couldn't be happier about our choice to have our wedding at Rustic Oaks.
Rustic Oaks was the perfect wedding venue for us. Not only is a beautiful site- with tons of gorgeous greenery & trees, and a BEAUTIFUL barn that fully served all our needs- it als...
o has the most amazing event manager to come with it -Addi! Addi and her team are absolutely fantastic. They went above and beyond on our wedding day to ensure that everything went as smoothly as possible, all while having smiles on their faces, at all times! Addi answered all our questions leading up to the event and never made us feel like any question was silly question. She was more than willing to bounce off ideas and brain storm with us. She is personable and friendly and reliable. She is organized and knows exactly what needs to get done and when. She has a great thing going at Rustic Oaks and will be forever successful! We owe a million thanks to Addi and her team! Highly highly recommend!
I will never have anything but wonderful things to say about Rustic Oaks. Have your wedding here. Just do it. I planned my entire wedding from 5 hours away and because Addison is s...
uch a gem of a person, everything was perfection. She’s so helpful, has wonderful opinions and advice, and adds the extra support you NEED while planning one of the biggest days of your life. Our parents all loved her, our wedding party loved her, she is 90% of the reason we chose to get married here. She’s the best. You also get access to their online wedding planning portal which I used all the time! And we got a free wedding website through there too which was so fun to make and look at all the time! We got a lot of compliments on that. The venue itself is just as fantastic as the owner and staff! It’s beautiful inside, and then add the gorgeous scenery outside, done. Book it! You’re right by the river, there’s beautiful trees, a pond, and the buildings are adorable. The houses are so cute and convenient to be able to just stay right there all weekend. The getting ready house with the bridal area upstairs and the boys’ downstairs is nice because you’re separate but not so far that you can’t communicate if you need to, and the ceremony location outside is breathtaking. Anything that went sideways, was quickly taken care of without me even having to lift a finger. Any worries I had, Addi was there to reassure me. Seriously get married here. You will not regret it. It was amazing!
The venue is absolutely beautiful and cozy and it allows for a bigger wedding to feel more intimate. The dromstead was amazing to house our guests from out of town for a few days a...
nd the homestead house for getting ready is amazing and so convenient to have breakfast and drinks while getting ready without feeling cramped. Addison, the manager and operations manager, is simply incredible. She does it all and works so hard to ensure your day is the most amazing day. My whole family commented for weeks past the wedding day how hard working she was and how organized and on the ball she is. We had the most amazing wedding and Rustic Oaks was a huge part of that.
Rustic Oaks and Addison were amazing for my wedding. On my wedding day we had - rain, sunshine, and a tornado watch - and Addison handled it all so well. Her team and her helped to...
flip the upstairs from ceremony to reception, helped set up yard games outside when the sun came out, helped make sure the ceremony ran smoothly and had fun with us at the end of the night! Our guests loved the beauty of Rustic Oaks - the property is amazing! And our pictures are beautiful!! Addison was professional and knowledgeable. I can't thank Addison (and the whole team!) enough for all they did to ensure my day was as perfect as could be!
The only word I have to say about this venue is - wow!
From day one they exceeded our expectations. Addison was a dream to work with and helped our vision come to life. Throughou...
t the planning process and day-of, the team at Rustic Oaks helped put any concerns to rest and help make the day absolutely beautiful. They truly went above and beyond.
Throughout the planning process they were responsive, kind and knowledgeable about the wedding industry as a whole - offering insight and advice where needed.
We couldn't have asked for a better place to host our wedding. From the barn, to the fire pit, to the yard games - our guests (and us) had the most amazing time.
Rustic Oaks is the best!
Rustic Oaks is gorgeous on its own, but a little dash of Shanelle and our imagination made the venue sparkle with our vibe!
It was like a storybook wedding and everything we ever ...
needed.
It was also super nice to have everything in one spot, so that I didn't have multiple people to reach out to!

, views and so much more. We were able to take so many pictures with such variety of back drops. Most importantly, Shanelle, wedding coordinator, is the BEST. She takes care of everything for you. I had no worries the day of our wedding thanks to Shanelle. She is communicative, friendly, kind, thoughtful. She has everything you’d need as back up in case you forget something. 10/10!!
I had no idea what I was doing planning a wedding. Shanelle made me feel less stressed and was there for every question I had. They also worked with payment options when we ran int...
o budget issues. Beautiful venue and they take care of all set up and take down. Only thing I can say is that with the layout, it is difficult to keep people upstairs and on the dance floor. I also wish they would invest in steel beams and open the upstairs so everyone has a good line of site as that was the biggest complaint I heard from guests.

ne of the best of the best outdoor venues in the Fargo area! The owners are lovely and the coordinator Shanelle is so helpful and involved. There are so many beautiful options for portraits, and the barn provides a great rain option if needed. They've recently made a few updates that make the space even more photographer-friendly and we love them for it!

st an outdoor, rustic, intimate wedding. Pictures don't even do it justice!
We couldn't have asked for a more relaxing day while getting ready in the Inn. The upstairs bridal suite was more than spacious for all the ladies to lounge in for the day. The guys definitely enjoyed their time downstairs in the "man cave" watching TV and shooting pool. Our ceremony was set in the backyard, surrounded by trees and looking out over a serene pond. It was exactly how we wanted to start our married life together.
Every one of our wedding guests were entertained during the reception, whether dancing in the barn's loft, relaxing on the barn deck, hanging out by the campfire, playing yard games, taking a stroll down to the river, or just taking in the beautiful scenery everywhere you looked.
Last, but not least, Rustic Oaks' owners were more like our family on our wedding day. They were beyond helpful and made every second of our day worry-free. We couldn't have asked for a better experience from the first day of planning to the second we drove away as husband and wife.
Thank you Rustic Oaks for making our wedding day everything we imagined and more!
