The Pines Weddings & Events

inside of the Pines is very beautiful and does not need a lot of decorations which is a huge benefit when planning. Once we booked, the hardest thing was trying to find his and her cocktails they could make (No mimosas, bellinis, mojitos, etc.) It was more of a conversation of them only having certain things and if you don’t pick from that list, they will tell you “No”, so be prepared. There were some staffing changes during the wedding planning process, but once I was able to get in contact with my new person, they were immediately responsive. Even leading up to the wedding we had not ideal wedding weather (yay, a blizzard) and they helped answer all my questions ALL hours of the day/night. Due to the first blizzard of the year, we as the couple had a lot of hoops to jump through leading up to the event that week. They were very accommodating over text leading up the day but then when it got to the set-up day, they seemed annoyed and hesitant with us being out there. With that being the package we paid for, we expected to be out there no matter the weather unless we could do some sort of reimbursement. Luckily, we were able to be out there for our scheduled time (starting an hour later due to weather) we ended on our originally planned time. I felt that helped them considering we still had another hour we could have been out there due to our contract. I’m assuming sour moods were due to weather which as the bride I can’t control and trust me was not my first option either. The only disappointing part of the entire process was the rehearsal the day before with the weather and the cocktail issue while planning. When it came to day of it was beautiful and had no complaints. They were helpful and seemed to be in a good mood considering the day before and venue is of course gorgeous. The drinks were fabulous even with it not being my original choices and everyone loved the event. They even allowed us to use the other venue for our photos so we could have more variety in our photos due to weather which I appreciated a lot! Overall, we had a good experience other then a few sour moods the day before the event.

was amazing thanks to the amazing staff at The Pines. No matter how small a question was, staff was always there to make sure I got what I needed. The planning process was so much less stressful that I thought it was going to be thanks to the Staff at The Pines. The wedding and reception were more than I could have dreamed of!

ever possible the day of.

out in the morning. Emily and Karissa are so helpful, and made the whole planning process a breese. I would recommend this place to any couple looking to host their dream wedding, because this is definitely the place to do so:)

of atmosphere. The staff is really amazing as well and truly cares about the experience of their clients. Book it now!

eep anything in there after your ceremony. There is really nowhere to go during your reception that is private (signing marriage license, bustling your dress, touching up makeup, changing into comfortable clothes, or even a dress change). I was also disappointed in the communication between myself and the venue. I had a vision for the space and there was not a lot of support in having a different approach than what they had done in the past (we hired a live band and wanted a unique layout for the space). If you are a creative bride looking to arrange the room a certain way, I would make sure to over communicate and not be afraid to really voice what you want because they seem to set it up the same for most weddings. Overall, the experience was good. The food was great and the space was beautiful and very clean. The outdoor ceremony space was stunning in July and the photos turned out gorgeous. Also, the day of coordinator (Karissa) that helped with set up and tear down was AMAZING! She was so helpful and warm, everyone was friends with her by the end of the night.

the November small family event, free of charge. This allowed our daughter to get married on "their date". This offer from the Pines made our decision easier when rescheduling. Our big event was amazing! The venue is beautiful with everything in one place. Emily Finley, was the perfect organizer and host. She made everyone feel so special. We so enjoyed working with her, an exemplary wedding host. Chefs Table served awesome food, our guests are still complementing our menu. The Pines, Staff and Chef's Choice made our event so special. Emily and the Pines team were worth every cent with the benefit of our event on one beautiful location!

y had the layout of the venue set perfectly and was there to help us make the decision of moving our wedding inside due to the rain. Our guests cannot stop raving about how beautiful the venue was and how much fun they had. We are so happy to have had the chance to get married at SUCH a gorgeous venue! We will forever have a place in our heart for the Pines, Emily, and Neil. A huge thank you to all of the staff who made this day possible and for Emily, the most timely, kind, and organized coordinator.

tiful the venue was. The day of our wedding went perfectly with both of their help. Emily was always there to answer our questions, no matter how small! We were not worried because we knew we could trust Emily and Neil. I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married!

cross back chairs that are included with the wedding packages. If you are in the Fargo, ND area I highly recommend having your wedding at The Pines!!!

hey did NOT disappoint. Emily is a fantastic coordinator, and the entire day seemed to go so smoothly. I didn't see my bride get stressed or upset all day! The 'getting ready' house even has a pool! So much room for both the guys and the girls to move around and get ready before photos. The Pines is truly a one-of-a-kind venue, and there is nothing like it in the Fargo area. The huge, open, white space in the reception hall is just breathtaking. The staff buzzes around nonstop, each doing their job to make sure the guests are happy and taken care of. You can tell they truly enjoy their job. I also really appreciated the offer of a gold course for sunset photos! Two Birds Photography can't wait to shoot at this gorgeous Fargo area wedding venue again!

it gorgeous, but Emily and the team were so helpful throughout the whole process, from the beginning stages of planning to the very end of the reception. We chose the Pines before it was even built and we couldn't have made a better decision.
