The Grand Hall at Bold North Cellars

ut of planning by providing center pieces, transportation for your guests, set up/ tear down, and much more! All of our guests had a great time and wouldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the venue is. We couldn’t have asked for a better day 💗

r planning phase. The day of the wedding, she kept everything running smoothly. Paige was also awesome to work with for our rehearsal dinner. We hosted both events at the winery and our guests raved about the scenery, service, and food. We would recommend the winery for anyone's wedding and rehearsal dinner.

nally sold us was the layout of the inside, which proved to be more epic than we imagined. Everyone kept telling us how much fun they had. The venue layout is so comfortable because guests will feel so comfortable. There is so much to do and the entertainment is non-stop. Amazing layout!!! Jaimee & Paige at Carlos Creek Winery were fantastic! As soon as we visited, we knew we had to have our wedding there. If you are considering a MN destination experience, this is the place. Our guests had an absolute blast because there was so much to do and the venue was perfect for our dance and especially our ceremony. The staff there was so loving and went above and beyond to make our dream wedding become a reality. Thank you CARLOS CREEK!!! Our wedding was LIT!!!

we were happy above all else. The setting was amazing on a cold fall day, with our ceremony taking place in front of the warm gas fireplace. Everyone that attended our wedding has commented about the beautiful setting, attention to detail, and friendly staff at Carlos Creek Winery.

ress free as they took care of all of the details to give us the perfect day that we wanted. We could not imagine getting married anywhere else and will look forward to future visits!

azing! We got so many compliments on how beautiful everything was from all of our guests!! The event team, Paige, Melissa, and Jaimee, helped us at every turn with whatever questions or requests we had and made our day perfect Perfect PERFECT! They truly made us feel like VIP guests throughout the whole process! Melissa was our “day of coordinator” and she was a rockstar! She was upbeat, organized, and kept everyone and everything in place on the big day! Mary, the florist for CCW, was also absolutely amazing! Our centerpieces, outdoor flowers, and arbor were stunning and I couldn’t picture anything more perfect for our big day! If you are looking for a picturesque romantic winery wedding than Carlos Creek is the best place possible! WE LOVE CCW! ☺

a venue. Everything from food to decorations to ceremony site...EVERYTHING was so amazing. Couldn't have asked for anything better!

e the winery to thank for that! I was told repeatedly how calm I seemed and I also give credit to the winery for taking care of everything and giving me no reason to worry about a thing! It wa so nice having everything in one spot and there are so many little extras included in the venue price that make it so worthwhile! We loved our wedding and wouldn't change a thing about it!

rked with Jaimee. She was always ready and willing to answer my many questions right away, and did so many things for us the day of! From talking to our DJ to running to find a sign I forgot 30 seconds before the ceremony, she was on top of it. She was so professional and flexible and was able to accomodate all of my ideas with ease! Absolutely wonderful experience! I would highly recommend Carlos Creek for your wedding.

d, and an ABSOLUTE joy to work with. Her attention to detail, professionalism and outgoing fun loving personality put us all at ease and allowed us to enjoy each little moment of our big day. Carlos Creek Winery is very lucky to have her and we feel just as lucky to have had her share in our wedding day! Whatever you are paying her, double it!!! Additionally Mary Baumann (Master Floral Designer) is an absolute artist and a true master of her craft! From the greenery decor on the arbor in the natural cathedral, the floral in the reception, the guests and head table, each layer and tiny detail was displayed with such care and perfection that my bride and I both teared up sneaking a peek before the reception started. She also helped keep me calm right before the first look and we are so happy she was able to share and see the moment as I first saw my beautiful bride! Thank you Mary!! I could write a novel when it comes to Carlos Creek Winery. It is everything we wanted in a wedding venue and then some. The grounds are impeccable, the sights are breathtaking, and the staff is talented and kind beyond any staff I have ever seen in any sort of profession. It quickly became very obvious to us as to why that is the case, its because they truly care and want everyone to share in the beauty that they are surrounded in daily at Carlos Creek Winery. Do not hesitate to have your wedding here, they would love to have you and will make you feel like family. Thank you for everything!!! Alex and Jessica Zoerb

g, I didn't have to do anything Melissa set up all my extra decorations I brought and took them down at the end of the night. The venue was also beautiful!

in and our food was incredible-- shocking they don't make it at the venue. I would recommend Carlos Creek Winery as a wedding venue to anyone as they helped make our day more special than we could imagine.

The day was beautiful and beyond what I could have ever imagined! Mary Baumann did a PHENOMENAL decorating the arbor and reception room! The food was cooked to perfection and the presentation was beautiful! The day-of coordinators helped me (nervous bride) know where I needed to be and when. They genuinely cared about making our day perfect, I noticed in my photos that I had forgotten a basket for my programs.....They had taken care of that by providing one for me and my photos look amazing! All the behind the scene things are ultimately what makes this venue a home run! We are so thankful to the staff at Carlos Creek Winery for making everything so easy for us!! We can not wait to return for a visit!

asy and stress-free for us as possible - not exactly an easy task - but Carlos Creek was exactly what we were looking for! All decorations (centerpieces, etc) were included in the space rental. They also handled the catering and cake. And these are NOT cheap-looking decorations or mediocre food. The food was UNBELIEVABLE! So many guests at our wedding commented on just how amazing the food was. The decor was the perfect mix of classy but simple and modern - not over-the-top - which is exactly what we were looking for. There is also a great bridal room space to get ready in, so we were able to bring in two hairstyles to do my hair and makeup and the bridesmaids' hair right at the winery. It made the day that much more relaxing to just be able to hang out there in the morning and not drive all over. We ordered some Minnescato from the winery for morning mimosas, brought in breakfast and lunch, and had such a fun time getting ready. We were assigned a wedding coordinator that assisted us with every detail beginning months in advance of the wedding. Our coordinator, Paige, answered every one of my emails (with my random questions) within a day of receiving them. Paige was super helpful during the rehearsal and of course during the actual wedding day. She was there first thing in the morning and on-site the whole day until after it was over - constantly checking in, making sure we had what we needed while we were getting ready, and then, during the event itself, Paige made sure everything happened exactly as we had planned. I had a couple of custom requests that I had asked about (for example - I was wondering if I could get a wine barrel top with the CCW brand on it to be used as our "guest book"), and they made it happen. Overall, it was just so nice to know that everything was taken care of, and we didn't have to worry about anything on our wedding day. We were able to just relax and enjoy ourselves. Everyone had a blast, and it was in large part due to the team at Carlos Creek. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a place that's a little off the beaten path, but still maintains high standards of quality and service. You definitely can't go wrong choosing Carlos Creek!

ng, approachable, and personable. Michelle and all the others at the winery were friendly and wonderful to work with. We had no reservations or worries as the day came closer or even on the day because we felt supported and understood by the wedding coordination team. We had the most relaxed, wonderful, fun, and celebratory wedding day! The ceremony was outside in The Natural Cathedral, a perfect outside location on a warm summery evening. Then we had a social hour with refreshments on the patio. Our reception was in The Stables. The soft lighting and intimate setting gave an rustic, but elegant and romantic feel. The food was also excellent! Everything about our day made us happy. We just loved it!

ave asked for greater people to work with and a more beautiful setting. The day of the wedding I didn't worry about anything because I felt 100% confident that they would take care of everything we asked them. Beautiful venue, fantastic people to work with, great food, awesome wine, and the perfect backdrop for a rustic, yet elegant wedding!

when Oct 6th rolled around, it was a bit too cold. We did pictures outside that were incredible and then we moved the ceremony inside at the last second. I was sad at first, but when I saw the set-up it took my breath away. So intimate near the huge stone fireplace in the reception hall- it was romantic with candlelight and by the fire. The staff is incredible, so nice and made sure everything was on point. Michelle, the wedding coordinator is utterly fabulous- she emails you leading up to the day months in advance, answers all your questions, has great recommendations and is just THE best. We had an absolutely fabulous wedding day.

d to meet.

nd did not show up when she said she would. Carlos Creek staff contacted her and made sure she got there in time for our reception. I didn't even find out about this problem until the end of the evening after everything went smoothly! Also, the food was delicious. We got so many compliments!

ore your ceremony and reception. Telling the event director will not be enough.

wedding and great overall.

l. We filled out our contract putting $500 down as a deposit. Carlos Creek offers a 'vendor weekend', where the bride, groom, and whomever they choose to bring with (parents, children, friends) can come along. They have the event center decorated as they would at a wedding reception. The facility is filled with photographers, table decorators, florists, etc. They also have the one caterer that they allow with a sampling of his menu options. Upon arrival, we thought we would relax and have a glass of wine before the event. We arrived early, about 5:52. The invitation said 6:30, but they have a tasting room. We figured that it would be a perfect chance to share the place with my Mom and her husband. My fiance and I had travelled 2 hours to get there. My mom and her husband, 4. When we walked into the tasting room, the bartender looked at us with disgust and asked if we were there for the wedding event. We said yes. He said this room closes in 8 minutes. We walked around looking at what they had for sale, taking in what had just happened. I've worked retail and food service. I was shocked. Then wandered accross into the event center. Not easy, considering my mom was in a wheel chair, and it was Feb in MN. At the event center, it was mass chaos. Everyone was running around, they were bringing in food, setting up tables, vacuuming, and a sense in the air of stress, to say the least. Nobody was smiling, nobody was happy. The attitude was, why are you here? Other couples walked in, with wine in hand. Apparently they were served by someone else??? At this point, it was 6:05. The event 'officially' starts in 25 minutes. Yes, we are early, but really, still setting up? In my opinion tables and chairs should have been set up hours ago. It's not the peak season. It's February in MN. It's cold. The only person that seemed friendly was the person vacuuming. Once 6:30 rolled around, we were all standing around. There was no announcement thanking us for coming. It was just - get inside. We signed in. Got nametags. Proceeding to check out the vendors. The table decorations were great, the floral arrangements were great. They even had bridal and bridesmaid dresses. The photographers had wonderful stuff. However, The FOOD VENDOR DID NOT HAVE SILVERWARE. As soon as we had stolen silverware from the cake people, they made an announcement that they were touring the outside choices for wedding ceremony - hmmm food or tour of snowy wedding venues. At this time, the gal making the announcement stated that she was Michelle, the gal I'd spoken to several times on the phone, but had never met. I found it odd and frustrating the she NEVER INTRODUCED HERSELF. In any job, if you spend a lot of time on the phone with various accounts, meeting them in person is important. WE WERE CONSIDERING SPENDING $20,000 WITH THEM AND THEY DID NOT CARE WHO WE WERE. Conversations with local vendors (florists, photos, etc.) stated they had changed hands several times. That THE STAFF IS NOT TREATED WELL. THERE IS A SENSE OF UNCERTAINTY. WE DID NOT GET OUR DEPOSIT BACK. THATS FINE. WE WENT TO THE WILDS IN PRIOR LAKE. THEY WERE WONDERFUL!!!!
