Congratulations on your engagement! This is such an exciting time for you! Can't wait to meet you :)
I fell in love with weddings at a young age and feel so lucky to have fulfilled my dream of planning them for a living! I’ve been in the wedding and events industry for ten years, and have had the opportunity to work alongside some of the best wedding couples and families (and vendors too!). I feel so honored to be a part of one of the most special days in a person’s life, and so enjoy learning each couple’s unique style, creating a reality of their dreams.

What an incredible venue and experience! The venue coordinator Heidi was amazing and everything you would want! My husband and I got married there in April of 2025.
We were reall...
y struggling to find a venue that had more of an "all inclusive" experience but didn't break the bank. Stonebooke was just that! It has the elements of a country club but with way more character. Our wedding was about 80 people and though more guests could certainly fit, it was perfect for us! The food was amazing, the staff was amazing, and the day ran so smoothly! The getting ready spaces were perfect for the ladies and gents as well.
But back to Heidi! She answered all of my crazy questions and was along for the ride as my "type A" personality was in full swing! I do want to mention that she is a one-woman-show so in peak wedding season when she has a lot of weddings she is coordinating, it can take a little extra time for her to respond. That being said, when it is close to being your time, you definitely feel like the priority. She was willing to flex and accommodate the grooms many allergies and some other tweaks we asked for!
I cannot express how smoothly the day went and that was in no small part thanks to Heidi and the staff at Stonebrooke.
If I had to express one complaint, it would be that we had golfers coming in to the pro shop to presumably "check out" during our indoor ceremony which we were told wouldn't happen. Our ceremony was so quick and the rest was amazing, so it was easy to overlook.
Highly recommend the folks at Stonebrooke for your next event!

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Heidi and the entire Stonebrooke staff. I was a July 2025 bride, and even though our ceremony took place in St. Paul—over 45 minute...
s away—I would choose Stonebrooke again in a heartbeat. The venue is absolutely stunning. The golf course is immaculately maintained; my husband even golfed there the week before our wedding and loved it. The large windows throughout the venue let in an incredible amount of natural light, making every photo feel as though it were taken in a garden.
Looking back, one detail I didn’t fully appreciate at the time—but truly value now—is the variety of spaces within the clubhouse. The elevated level with additional tables, the bar that’s connected yet still feels slightly separate, and the overall layout added depth and interest to the reception space. Our guests especially loved the patio, which became a popular spot for stepping outside to chat, relax, or take a break from dancing.
The staff was absolutely incredible. Heidi was so helpful and patient, answering countless questions and always being available when something urgent came up. The rest of the team was just as amazing. They assisted our families with teardown at the end of the night, and anytime something came up, any staff member was quick to help. Our other vendors also had nothing but positive things to say—they were professional, organized, and always willing to lend a hand, whether it was bringing in flowers or helping with setup. Stonebrooke truly exceeded our expectations in every way.

inator, Heidi, did an amazing job of communicating with us leading up to the wedding day and was there the day of the wedding to help things run smoothly. The food was delicious, although because it was plated, the short rib my husband was served was a bit dry compared to my chicken. They were very accommodating - we were able to bring our decorations to the venue the day before the wedding. They also were accommodating to our request to have his and her drinks for the cocktail hour, which were a big hit! A concern we had was that since it was summertime, golfers would be in our space, however, they were respectful and had their own area outside the clubhouse. We weren't interrupted by any of them during photos. One negative for the evening was the tap beer being largely foam when poured, which severely slowed down the bar service in this regard. All in all, we had a great experience working with Stonebrooke to make our day the best it could be and would highly recommend it to others searching for a wedding venue!

Stonebrooke Golf Course was the perfect venue for our wedding reception.
We originally chose Stonebrooke because we had golfed there before and loved the beautiful clubhouse, but e...
xperiencing it as a wedding venue exceeded our expectations.
Our reception was inside the clubhouse, with access to a gorgeous patio overlooking the fairways, waterfalls, and gardens. Many of our guests spent time outside—especially at sunset—which created some unforgettable moments. We also used the outdoor spaces for photos, and the backdrops were stunning.
From start to finish, the coordination was exceptional. We worked with Heidi, who was fantastic. She guided us through tastings, helped organize our timeline, and made sure everything ran smoothly on the day itself. The rest of the staff was equally attentive and professional.
The food was incredible. We served steak, chicken, and the Minnesota salad, all plated beautifully. Guests raved about the meal, and we were so impressed that the quality on our wedding day matched exactly what we had experienced at the tasting. The bar service was also excellent.
We couldn’t have asked for a better venue, and we highly recommend Stonebrooke Golf Course to any couple looking for a beautiful, well-run, and memorable place to celebrate their wedding.

The indoor and outdoor spaces are both very beautiful, which provided various great photo opportunities. To top it off, the price is also extremely competitive compared to the other venues in the area. All in all, this is a fantastic reception option and I'm confident you will be very happy with your choice!

If you want a stress-free wedding where everything is managed exceptionally well - this is the place for you. Heidi and all the Stonebrooke staff have this process locked down. We ...
had a 200-person church wedding and came to Stonebrooke for the reception this past weekend. It was perfect.
I fell in love with Stonebrooke as a venue because of the waterfall and landscaping views, our love of golf and how easy it was to work with Heidi and the team. The food was fantastic, drinks were delicious, and the set-up could not have been better. It was everything I could have wished from a wedding venue.
Their communication was top notch and made the wedding planning go smoothly. The Stonebrooke team was SO attentive. I just smiled at Heidi once because I was so happy during dinner and she stopped by asking if I needed anything (nope!).
I could not be more thankful for Heidi and the Stonebrooke team for creating the reception of my (I mean our) dreams.

forward and reasonably priced, and Heidi (the coordinator) was very helpful however slightly slow with email responses. The only thing I would change would have been the aisle I walked down. The space inside did not allow for a straight place to walk, so my dress and veil got caught on the stairs / chairs I walked through. I had to pause and have one of my friends had to help me straighten them out before continuing. If we had gotten married in the summer or fall and been able to get married outside, I believe that could have been avoided. Other than that, I recommend everything about this venue.

ing our day be everything we imagined! Heidi was great in helping us talk through different seating options, food options, decor options, etc. The food was fantastic and it's all done in house which is really convenient. The bartenders and servers did a great job. We did a winter wedding, and they had a large fire pit going all night for guests who wanted to step outside for a little while (wasn't too cold). We also really enjoyed the large bar area and liked that it was U-Shaped vs. a window in the wall. The layout is nice, as the dance floor and bar on opposite ends which helps eliminate guest congestion. It had big windows that look good in pictures. The get-ready area near the driving range was great too! We were able to get a hotel block in downtown Shakopee as too with a shuttle for guests. Overall, We really loved our experience at Stonebrooke, and would highly recommend it to anyone considering!

Between the yummy food, stellar landscaping/photo opportunities, and the support from Heidi, it was an amazing experience. We fell in love with this place for its charm and hardly had to decorate because it feels so perfect with the location and warmth inside. I would highly recommend this venue (and Heidi!) to anyone who is getting married!

ave gone smoother. One is I wish I would have hired a coordinator for this venue. Heidi said I wouldn't really need one but it would have helped things go smoother. I got really stressed at one point and I think it could have been avoided. Also, for pictures, a classic spot is by the waterfall. Unfortunately this is also a popular path for golfers w/ golf carts. Our grandparents, us with dresses, pregnant people, kids, all had to pause photos and shuffle over for golf carts constantly. Some got gross water splash back from the carts. This added to my stress and frustration. Golfers are a priority to them but this makes sense since it's a golf course. I also heard staff complaining about decorating and that didn't make me feel good. I felt like an inconvenience and I was worried things weren't going well. However, it was comforting to know that my family and guests had a great time and the pictures show that. Stonebrooke is a gorgeous place, I ended up having a great time, and I married the love of my life. Also, the food was incredible. My guests have been raving about the food and Stonebrooke's beauty.

Our wedding at Stonebrooke was absolutely wonderful! The whole process was stress free, from planning with Heidi, arriving to a beautifully decorated reception (that the staff took...
care of entirely!), and dancing the night away! We really did not have to worry about a thing and the day of the wedding ran so smoothly. The food and drinks were outstanding; which takes finding a caterer and bartender off the heavy to-do list of planning. The venue was gorgeous for pictures, even when it was pouring rain a majority of the day. With such a beautiful building and outdoor area, the space is bright and gorgeous with minimal decor, just another thing we did not have to worry about! Our guests had a total blast, made so many comments on how much fun they had, and we were so happy to relax and enjoy the day that we had been looking forward to for so long. Stonebrooke was the perfect choice for our wedding reception, I could not have imagined being anywhere else!

THE VERY BEST EXPERIENCE
My wife and I got took a leap of faith when we booked with Heidi at Stonebrooke Golf Club in December of 2020 for our big day in August of 2022. Heidi had...
just recently taken over as events coordinator. She had a vision of what Water’s Edge would look like and what the vibe would be ~2 years down the road.. to keep it brief, she was amazing and there was no detail of our big day that she didn’t have dialed in… recommendations for vendors, day of timeline, rehearsal suggestions, flexibility on every aspect, and extremely genuine and easy to work with. Food was great, staff was wonderful, venue was amazing, guests were pleased, and Heidi was a blessing.
11/10 recommend Stonebrooke Golf Club for your big day.

The venue is gorgeous and a great place to have a wedding! We did the waterfall location at Stonebrooke for our ceremony. It was absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend them on that...
part. Food was great as well as service from employees throughout that night. The only reason I gave it a 4 star rating instead of 5 was the communication was poor. We barely heard from the venue coordinator Heidi. She is extremely nice and when she does communicate with you she is helpful. But unfortunately when it is hard to get ahold of the one person in charge of everything it makes you feel like your last on her list and not a priority at all. Especially when your date is coming up. We didn’t hear our final estimate or final payment until the week of which made us extremely nervous and feeling stressed on time. When most other people say they hear from other venues almost 2 weeks prior to their dates. On rehearsal night employees had little to no information about our rehearsal and dinner. At the dinner there was multiple wasp nest at the Water’s Edge location where we had rehearsal dinner, that were never taken care of before our dinner that night, which ended up one of my bridesmaids getting stung when out on the deck. When we dropped off our wedding items at Stonebrooke the night of rehearsal we again experienced employees having no idea about this and me ending up having to explain what I was told as the coordinator wasn’t there. The morning of the wedding we agreed on a time frame for my family to come and decorate for the wedding and when they arrived at the later time the coordinator was no where to be found that morning and employees had no idea where my decor items were and couldn’t help. My family members ended up waiting an hour after they were supposed to start decorating, and could finally start and myself the bride trying to figure out and call the coordinator with no answer until an hour later. All while getting my hair and makeup done. Shouldn’t have to deal with that the morning of when there is already enough anxiety and stress for the morning of the wedding. Come to find out she’s giving a tour of the venue, when my family and vendors were told what times would be okay to start and that the venue would be there for any questions or to help. We also experienced not all my decor items being put out which upset me a lot as I had to go looking for them! Which again I shouldn’t have to deal with as a bride. We felt lost most of our day and felt like we weren’t really priority at all. Especially with how much we paid to have a nice venue. Again, venue is beautiful, food was great and service from employees that night was also great and I definitely recommend the venue for those things. But if communication was number one on your list, I do not recommend unless they hire a second person to help with planning events.

I do sincerely apologize, however hope it does not overshadow the wonderful wedding you had! Wishing you and Nick all the best!!

Stonebrooke Golf Club is an absolutely stunning venue, but more importantly to us it had the reception set up we were looking for! It's wrap around patio, bar area, large dance flo...
or and open concept made it the perfect place for guests to mingle and have a blast. We rented out the club house and I couldn't recommend doing this more :) it was so beautiful and the guys and gals both had so much fun getting ready and golfing.
When you book with Stonebrooke you get to have Heidi as your day of coordinator as well. She is very professional and an absolute hustler. She helped with the reception set up and was a great point of contact for all of the vendors. She even jumped in and was serving dinners to guests. I would also like to say their head server that closed out the night was so kind and so helpful. She helped pull off a surprise birthday cake for the groom and helped us understand the expectations for clean up as well. All of the servers and bartenders were top notch and worked their hardest to make all our guests happy. Overall it was a five star experience!!
With that said I would like to warn other brides and grooms about some issues we ran into and my hope is this feedback will help improve the venue's service for future couples.
1. There will be goose poop everywhere if you do your ceremony site at Water's Edge. I really wished the facility had cleaned it up. Instead my brother spent over a half hour picking up goose poop with a napkin in the ceremony site around the chairs, arch and aisle. This is something I don't think we should be expected to do.
2. We purchased the club buyout for $1000 and paid for two bartenders. This meant that people not attending the wedding couldn't eat in the reception area; however they were allowed to eat on the patio. The venue was extremely understaffed to serve both our guests and the guests outside. The bartenders although working as fast as they could prioritized people on the patio and folks on the patio were coming in and getting drinks before my guests. I don't have a problem if the venue wants to make more money, but those were bartenders I paid for and if you want to have another revenue stream outside of the wedding you are hosting then you need to have another bartender on staff to serve those folks, as well as separate waitstaff for their food orders. I watched many dishes being served to the guests on the patio while our dinner was very delayed. You need to prioritize the people spending thousands at your venue, or your other option is to staff appropriately to service both groups.
3. We had 170 people at our wedding and that was the absolute most I think could fit in there comfortably. They say up to 250, but that would be miserable.
4. Heidi was a fantastic day of coordinator up until the point that she had to help out with dinner because of understaffing. She worked so hard and I appreciated her doing that, but I think brides and grooms should prepare for this and hire a night of coordinator to be there if you have a plan you are trying to stick to because Heidi clearly did the correct thing by getting folks served, but other events of the night got discombobulated because of it.
Overall this feedback is mostly to the owner or venue manager that makes decisions on staffing and maintaining the facility. Heidi, the servers, and bartenders were all FANTASTIC! The venue is gorgeous and extras like the clubhouse, ceremony at Water's Edge and buyout were all worth it!!

We could not have been happier with our choice to have our daughter's wedding at Stonebrook! The setting was absolutely gorgeous and the photos are stunning! One of the highlight...
s of our day at Stonebrook was be the bridal suite at Water's Edge where we had the ceremony. The suite was the perfect place for the girls to relax and enjoy prepping for the day. The club house was a wonderful place for the reception as it allowed plenty of room for our guests to spread out and mingle and enjoy the beautiful views from the deck or from the club house. The food was also amazing and we were very happy with the variety of menu items we had to choose from for our reception. One of my favorite parts of having her wedding at Stonebrook was their amazing wedding planner! Heidi helped us throughout the planning process to help us choose what was right for our vision for the day. She was very thorough and made sure we had all the details in place. I had such a peace of mind knowing that Heidi was going to help pull everything together for us so we could enjoy the day and not stress out about the details. Stonebrook was a wonderful choice for my daughter's wedding and I would highly recommend it!

wanted to get married. The coordinator, Heidi, was so incredible to work with. She turned the overwhelming process of planning a wedding into a fun and simple task. She was there for us for all of our needs and the millions of questions we had. Heidi always responded to us very quickly and was incredibly informative. She went above and beyond for us from the day we toured until the day of the wedding. The rest of team at Stonebrooke was also so amazing. The chef did a fantastic job with the menu and the staff working our reception were so polite and attentive. The venue is so beautiful and offers a wide variety of options for the ceremony and reception. You will not be disappointed choosing Stonebrooke for your big day!

Stonebrooke was the perfect place to host our wedding reception this June (2021). We picked Stonebrooke back in 2019 when we were looking for venues for our wedding ceremony and r...
eception. Obviously COVD-19 impacted our plans but Debbie (the coordinator at the time) was so flexible and helpful and when Heidi took over, we felt like we were in good hands. The venue really provides depth to your celebration. We had groups mingling in all the different areas of the venue (by the bar, dance floor, dining floor, outdoor patio) but all our guests still felt like they were part of the party. Heidi and the catering staff worked together behind the scenes to make sure everything went smoothly and we felt very confident that they would problem solve if any needs arose. Our guests were very pleased with everything about Stonebrooke and my husband and I were too!
