Surrounded by fields and forests, the Braham Event Center is a modern banquet hall with rustic decor on the outside and a modern, open floor plan on the inside. Our main feature is our large window with a view to beautiful birch trees, perfect for ceremonies in addition to receptions. The center can host parties of up to 400 people, with a large lobby and a library which serves as the bridal suite. Our on-site caterer, Kathyâs Kitchen, provides delicious and affordable meals. Kathy's Kitchen specializes in cooking from scratch and we enjoy the chance to customize to fit a price point or a favorite meal or side dish.
The Braham Event Center is located one hour north of Minneapolis and St. Paul, just off Highway 65 on the outskirts of Braham, Minnesota, minutes away from Pine City, Rush City, Mora, and Cambridge, and is conveniently located between Duluth and the Twin Cities.
Both the Event Coordinator Kelly and the volunteers at the Braham Event Center were dedicated to making our experience great! They were helpful with planning as well as with anything we asked for on our wedding day! We used Kathy's Kitchen for catering and found them to be professional and accommodating as well. All of our guests had wonderful things to say about their food and service! We highly recommend them and feel our experience was incredible! Reviewed on 05-01-2024

Kelly and all the volunteers at the Braham Event Center played an amazing part in making our special day absolutely perfect. These people are absolutely AMAZING!We looked at multiple venues before finally settling on the Braham Event Center and it was absolutely beautiful, clean and wonderful all for a very reasonable price. I thank Kelly and all the volunteers so much for making our special day absolutely perfect. The bridal suite was wonderful for getting ready with my sisters, mother and mother in law. They even equipped it with plenty of tables and a mirror (which I did not think of til I arrived on my wedding day!) The grooms room was perfect for my husband and his brother in laws to get ready in. When I first arrived in the morning, thatâs when I met Butch, one of the amazing volunteers. He was even so kind to help me carry in all the boxes I had for decorations. He also provided me with all the materials I would have needed to get everything ready in the reception area.This venue is so beautiful. The outside is the perfect mix of modern yet has a rustic barn feel to it. Everything inside is new, nice, and clean. I absolutely loved the big giant window that we had our ceremony in front of. The views out the window were beautiful and looked out to wonderful birch trees that were just changing colors for our beautiful fall wedding day. The volunteers made sure that the table switch from the ceremony to the reception was quick, easy and simple. The volunteers did a wonderful job cooking the pasta dinner for our first meal. The food was amazing and the volunteers were so kind to serve everyone, even though it was a buffet style dinner. Sam from the pizza pub was very easy to chat with about how we wanted the bar for our wedding. He brought our kegs right away in the morning and set up the bar for us. He also sent out two amazing bartenders, Becky and Brian, that treated our guests amazing and got them everything they could.Yvonne from encore events did an AMAZING job having the drapery in the event hall. She left and provided us with table cloths and napkins for all our guests. She made sure I knew what to do with them at the end of the night. Her set ups are so beautiful and I would highly recommend saying yes to the drapery! Our wedding day went so smooth, and we didnât have any hiccups and I know this was partially due to the amazing work that the Braham Event Center does. We are so thankful that we chose them for our special day. We couldnât have asked for a better day! GO CHECK THEM OUT â¤ď¸ Reviewed on 10-10-2023

As Event Coordinator, I work closely with couples from the fist tour of our venue up to the big day. I am reachable around the clock, ready to answer questions and confirm details. I have been with the Braham Event Center for two years and have been in the event businesses for fifteen years. The Braham Event Center is located in my husband's (adorable) hometown, and is mostly volunteer-run. I love that the team I work with are volunteers in the community, and proceeds from your booking go to support our food shelf, community library, and other programs for our area.
