An Outdoor Ceremony Framed by the Vineyard

The afternoon kicked off at 3:00 PM as 126 of Joshua and Samantha’s closest family and friends gathered under a clear, blue sky. The ceremony took place in our scenic outdoor space, set against the breathtaking backdrop of our lush vineyard.

The couple chose a stunning white metal arch as the focal point for their vows, beautifully complementing the natural greenery of the vineyard. In a nod to charming rustic design, the wedding party and the beautiful bride made their grand entrance through our signature white wooden doors, creating a timeless and dramatic moment that left guests captivated.

Elegant Reception Details: Sunflowers & Warm Wood Accents

Following the ceremony, guests moved inside to celebrate the new Mr. and Mrs. The reception hall was transformed into a bright, welcoming oasis. Joshua and Samantha selected classic all-around tables draped in crisp white linen, which allowed their vibrant floral choices to truly pop.

Their centerpieces perfectly captured the joyful energy of a June wedding.

• Vibrant, cheerful sunflowers
• Delicate blue and white little flowers
• Lush, cascading greenery

To bring their vision to life seamlessly, the couple utilized our exclusive inventory of venue decorations. The gorgeous florals were displayed in our venue’s elegant vases, sitting atop our rustic wooden bases, proving that you can achieve a high-end, cohesive look utilizing the built-in amenities of your venue.

Incredible Eats, Drinks, and Entertainment

A great wedding requires a stellar vendor team, and Joshua and Samantha curated an absolute dream team to keep their 126 guests happy and well-fed:

• The Food: Guests were treated to an incredible meal catered by Smoak, serving up mouthwatering dishes that had everyone raving.
• The Drinks: The drinks were flowing, and the energy was high thanks to the professional staff from the Minnesota School of Bartending, who kept the bars operating flawlessly.
• The Music: Midwest Sound DJ Entertainment set the perfect tone for the evening, mixing classic hits with modern favorites to prep everyone for the dance floor.

Dancing Under the Stars & Memorable Experiences

At 7:00 PM, as the sun began to dip and cast a warm golden hour glow across the property, the party transitioned outside. The couple hosted their dance outside by the outdoor bar, allowing guests to dance the night away under the open Minnesota sky, surrounded by the vineyard.

Beyond the dance floor, Joshua and Samantha provided plenty of unique entertainment options to keep their guests engaged all night long:
