My husband and I just had our wedding here on 11/3/23. From the very first tour at Glenhaven, we were blown away with how gorgeous the venue is. Over the course of wedding planning, we were in close contact with fab. They graciously answered any and all questions we had. We opted to use most of their preferred vendors, which we LOVED them all! We did have an issue with their floral preferred vendor, to which we chose to use our own. My mother in law has celiacs and is gluten free. We had multiple conversations about this topic, as any gluten would make her very sick. We chose to bring in our own food to eliminate any potential issues. The day of, Punky was the one who greeted us in the morning and made sure everything was in tip top shape— she was so sweet, and checked in to make sure we were doing ok as we got ready. Nicole, our day of coordinator, was beyond amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure our day was nothing less than perfect for us— including hearing my concerns with the gluten free food and even down to accommodating my father, who just had hip surgery less than 3 weeks before our big day. Nicole was truly fantastic from our time Thursday night at the rehearsal, to all day Friday! We cannot thank her enough for working with us with a huge smile always on her face. She is so SO good at what she does!!! The wait staff, bartender, and security were fabulous as well. Matt was our DJ, and he was truly amazing! He knows what he’s doing and does it well. We had many guests comment on DJ Matt, and how he was more than a DJ as he went above and beyond to guide things along perfectly! Danielle Albrecht was our photographer, and we cannot say enough amazing things about her! She busted her butt getting all the amazing shots, and we are in awe over how great our photos turned out! The entire day was seamless! As my family and I were reflecting on the day/night we all agreed there were ZERO bumps in the road (that we were aware of anyways) and everything was simply perfect. I couldn’t have asked for a better day! Thank you fab weddings!! Reviewed on 07-01-2024

We had such a great experience at Glenhaven for our wedding! First off, it is absolutely gorgeous. We barely needed any decorations, and received many compliments on the venue! The staff members were so kind and accommodating, particularly the event manager Nicole. It was a very seamless event and we appreciated the “all-inclusive” aspect of not needing to find our own caterer, DJ, security, or bar staff. The food from Brianno’s was delicious (and also received SO many compliments from guests - many said it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding!). All in all a fantastic experience, we’d highly recommend! Reviewed on 04-12-2023

Glenhaven was a beautiful venue and we were very pleased with how our wedding day panned out! They work with a lot of different vendors, which made the planning aspect less stressful since it was less coordination on our end. Our wedding coordinator, Nicole, was so great!

Glenhaven Events is a beautiful venue inside and out. We could not have asked for a more perfect place and day. All of the staff went above and beyond to make our wedding day go off without a hitch. Nicole, our planner and day of coordinator helped make everything run seamlessly and helped us plan everything out. Ryan, our DJ was great at getting our guests involved and providing fun games/ideas for us to incorporate into our night (so many guests loved the shoe game!) and our officiant- George personalized our ceremony and made it so “us” and exactly what we were looking for.

Brandon Lesko(guest)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-01-2022 Staff treated us like children. Would not serve the guests at the bar before the wedding, we had no place even close to go to. Pulled the food off the buffet right away, so no additional servings and were rude when we asked for additional bread. Unplugged the photo booth while we were using it. Charged us $6 for shots, then upped it to $10. Guy kept coming up to us telling us not to tap on glass. Told the wedding party how to behave before the wedding. Reviewed on 16-01-2022

Jacob Dick(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-11-2020 My wife and I just got married at Glenhaven on Saturday 11/7/20 and WOW. From start to finish George Maverick(Owner) and his team were perfect. My wife and I visited three other places before we went to Glenhaven. We immediately dropped all the other plans that we had. George is highly organized yet very flexible with changes. He has a spreadsheet that he sits down with you and tells you every single price up front based on what you want for the wedding. It is an all inclusive approach with his team and affiliations with the bakery, photography, videography, floral, wedding day coordinator, and even hotel/shuttle options. We had no surprises or hidden fees to worry about. We didn't have to coordinate any of the deliveries or find a DJ or worry that things would time out just right.For the year we spent planning his response time was same day emails or calls as we made decisions and needed advice/help on things that came up. He gives you expert advice while still putting you at the wheel for any decision we wanted to make if it was in his power to make it happen, he did. My wife and I love cats and he literally had his staff in cat ears serving our dinner. We loved it! On the wedding day Cathy (day of coordinator) was amazing. She kept us on track the entire day and we never felt like she was rushing us. My wife forgot her flowers as she was walking down the aisle and Cathy got them up to her before the ceremony was over and I didn't even know how she did it so smoothly that hardly anyone noticed. This team clearly loves what they do and I can't say enough good things about them. Long story short we would choose Glenhaven hands down and will recommend it to any of our friends and family looking to have a great wedding. Thank you to Glenhaven for making the best day of our lives possible. Reviewed on 10-11-2020

I recently attended a wedding here and the venue is beautiful. Everyone was very helpful and the bride and groom were happy. I, as a wedding guest, was not happy because the food I was served was cold and the meat dry and chewy.

Emails were always answered quickly and planning was easy with their services and help!! The staff...wow! Kathy the coordinator seemed to know just what we needed before we even asked!

We loved the log cabin feel, the ceremony space, and the fact we were secluded and didn't have to share any of the space with strangers! George, Christine, and the rest of the staff were attentive during the entire planning process and made sure we had every detail covered. The staff all went above and beyond to make sure we had the perfect day, including setting up and tearing down our own decor. We appreciated that the DJ (Matt) was built into our party package, and that he had so much experience with the venue and with weddings.

Brittney Keough(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-04-2019 What can I say other than our wedding was the wedding of our dreams, if not better. It’s all thanks to this gorgeous venue and the amazing staff! The entire process of working with Glenhaven and Fab Weddings was a breeze from the beginning to the end. Everyone told me that wedding planning was really stressful and a lot of work, but this team made it so easy for me. Every one of the vendors was professional, responded quickly, followed up without prompting, and super friendly! So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and said it was the most fun wedding they had ever been to! We were lucky to get a nice 75 degree and sunny day in April, so we were able to get married outside in the garden. The ceremony was gorgeous and the garden is the perfect back drop for pictures. Our officiant Matt Iverson was perfect for me and my husband. He was funny and light hearted. The event coordinator Christine Corning did great at keeping us on track, so we didn’t have to worry about it. The entire day ran like clockwork! That was probably the best part for me. Another huge plus is that we didn’t have to set up or take down anything. We were able to just step back and relax and enjoy the day. Our DJ Steve Macke was amazing! He really felt the room and kept the dance floor filled all night. Food was delicious and the cake from Sweet Kneads in Farmington was fantastic. Karen Zinger did our decorations and they were better than I could have ever dreamed. She got every detail right and I received so many compliments! Our flowers from Rosemount floral were beautiful. I don’t know much about flowers, but Michelle helped me pick perfect ones. They were delivered in the morning and they lasted all day! I loved how they turned out. Our photographer Joan Brochman and videographer Dan Riggs worked so well with my giant bridal party and made it really fun. I could go on and on about how wonderful it was.

Hanna Hoff(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-11-2018 My wife and I were married at Glenhaven Events in Farmington, MN on 11.24.18. Our experience we had echoed all of those who we we spoke with, which were either married at Glenhaven or another Fab Weddings location. George, Andrea, and Christine were awesome to work worth. From our initial visit of the venue to our wedding day they were involved every step of the way. Whenever we had questions about decorations or how a certain aspect would work they were very prompt in their response with an answer or recommendation. These days with all the options you have available to you with getting married, for us personally, we chose the place that we knew would provide the experience, not just the best price (although hard to beat their packages), and Glenhaven/Fab Weddings were the ones who provided that for us. George's expertise and experience was invaluable, whether he was helping us with our timeline or making recommendations on day-of events, he was a great collaborator while still allowing us to bring our vision of our big day to the venue. On our big day, Christine and her staff were on point with timing, setting up, tare down, and making sure our vision came true. Even with us throwing them some curveballs at them the staff was excellent and their ability to quickly convert the room from the ceremony to dinner was painless. After looking back on our wedding day, the only minor recommendation we have is although the staff was very attentive it would be nice to have a staff member dedicated to the bride and groom/head table/wedding party to help assist with drink service. Your wedding day is very busy and at times very hard to be able to slip away to get something to drink. This would be very helpful to the those individuals and a very nice touch in the future. Again, this is a very minor detail in the grand scheme of things and in no way took away from how excellent our service was. The food was amazing, we number of compliments we received on dinner was just another tip of the cap to Brianno's and their already very well established catering reputation. We chose the pasta bar and would do it again if we had to go back and make this decision. We also used Farmington Bakery for our dessert and their staff was awesome as well. They made a custom s'mores bar that was a huge hit, so much so that we weren't even able to get our hands on one the night of, which is a good thing! But we did have our amazing two-tier cake that was delicious! Their staff was so great that once we told them how huge of a hit the s'mores bars were and that we didn't get any, they made a small batch for us to have at home, so thank you! Cue DJ Steve, he got the place rocking right from the get go and kept it going all night. He was super easy to work with and great at playing to the crowd throughout the night. Even with the multiple special requests we made of him, the presentations he did, and a last minute arrival of Nordy from the MN Wild he adapted on the fly for all of it and helped make our day amazing. To sum this all up, we definitely recommend you check out Fab Weddings for your big day. Their friendly staff, complete wedding day solutions, beautiful venues, day-of experience, and expertise of the industry they are a must-have partner on your wedding day!Thank you again to Glenhaven Staff, Christine, Andrea, and George for making our day one we will never forget.

He was so fun to work with and he was very detailed and emailed me updates all the time as well as his team.

Glenhaven was the only venue we looked at and, after our first tour, we knew it was the one. Our wedding took place three weeks ago and the day was amazing (except for the weather which prevented the ceremony from being held outside) and every detail was perfect! As Mother of the Bride, I spent the entire day focused on our daughter, the bridal party and getting myself ready – never once did I feel I needed to check in with Christine or the staff, the entire day ran like clockwork. We appreciated the fact that staff will pack up and load all of our possessions and leftover food into our vehicle at the end of the night (it’s the last thing we were interested in doing after a very long day). We had many compliments from guests on the venue and the fabulous food. Our DJ did a great job and kept the evening moving along.

After a few meetings where I was assigned my day of coordinator (all included with what I paid), I knew that I did not have to worry about anything. They coordinated with the appropriate vendors so that I did not have to do it, set up everything for the wedding hall, the team was present but hidden when necessary and cleaned up everything and packed it into our cars at the end of the night. I did not have to lift a single finger on my wedding day. I didn't have to worry about where things were going after the wedding, because they made sure to cover all bases ahead of time.

Katie McMurchie(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-09-2018 Seriously, where do I begin?! We could not be happier with our experience with George and Glenhaven. It the one and only place my husband and I toured when we got engaged and right when we stepped into the venue, we knew this was it. George and his staff are truly top notch. I can say with 100% honesty that our day was perfect because of them.The venue is gorgeous and hardly needs any decorations at all. The garden in the back is beautiful. They were very open to us using our own vendors or theirs if needed. And they are very open about you adding and subtracting things to your wedding package. George keeps very good track of your expenses in a spreadsheet (we actually ended up over paying because our guest list ended up being smaller than expect. So George sent us a check in the mail with the balance that we over paid. You can trust that George has your best interest at heart).We used the salon/arcade room for the morning and I HIGHLY recommend. The salon is absolutely gorgeous and my party had the best time. The men (and women once were ready) were able to play the games while we waited for the ceremony which was awesome. Everyone had such a good time!We wanted a light/humorous ceremony and decided we wanted George as the officiant. He was accommodating to what we wanted and we received many compliments from our guest on how great/funny he was.The after party I think is what sets Glenhaven apart from others. They had a bubble and fog machine for our first dance. And the lighting in the venue is terrific! As the bride, I walked down the spiral staircase with the spotlight which was very unique and something I’ve never seen before. George provided us with DJ Ryan who was the best! He was very accommodating and played song requests all night.I could write pages and pages on how perfect our wedding day was, but reach out to George and take a tour of Glenhaven yourself. You will not be disappointed. Thank you again George! We are forever grateful for the experience you provided to us and our guests. Reviewed on 21-09-2018
DONNA ZIBLEY(parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-09-2018 Our daughter's wedding was at Glenhaven this past Labor Day weekend (9-2-2018). It was an absolutely amazing place for a wedding!!!! Where do I start? The planning process (with owner George) is informative and fun. At all times, you know to the penny, what the costs are as George keeps and shares with you a very detailed and up-to-date spreadsheet of costs. George responds to communication very, very quickly. They can provide pretty much every need/vendor you could have for a wedding but you can definitely bring in your own if you want (we mixed it up a bit). The price is definitely fair. The site is gorgeous! The outside wedding site is lovely for photos and access. The inside is an amazing blend of rustic and elegance - and can go more either direction - depending on how you choose to decorate. It comes with an experienced personal wedding planner who handles everything from decorating to making it all run smoothly on your special day. They make up for the rural setting by suggesting nearby hotels and a shuttle bus &/or re-furbished firetruck to transport your wedding party & guests. The DJ, lighting and sound system are top shelf. Their new beauty parlor was fabulous - after finishing makeup and hair - it made a great room for the gals to get dressed. The wedding party has a huge room downstairs for relaxing (arcade, pool table, foosball table, dining table, juke box, etc). It is a terrific place to spend time prior to the service. Honestly, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Check out Glenhaven - you will be glad you did! Reviewed on 09-09-2018

He made sure we had all the information we needed, presented highly organized spreadsheets of wedding details and costs, and was very flexible when we inevitably changed our minds several times.I was already happy with Fab Weddings, George, Christine, and everyone that we worked with, but when it came time for the actual wedding day the Fab Weddings team just blew us away. Everything went without a hitch. All of the employees were attentive and clearly knew what they were doing. We couldn't have been happier. The same goes for our guests. We have heard so many comments from our friends and family about what a great wedding this was, or how this was the best wedding they've been to, or that it didn't seem like a wedding at all but like a celebration.Don't be scared off by the price. It's ALL INCLUSIVE! That means you don't have to hunt down a photographer, a venue, a caterer, a photo booth, a videographer, a DJ, an officiant, a coordinator, a decorator. . . Glenhaven (Fab Weddings) provides it all. The best part about starting this process was working with Andrea and George. They both walked us through every single step of the process. Every single question we had via text or email was responded to within the day, and typically within minutes. The Fab Weddings team makes things seamless! We highly recommend them.

We all had a great time!!! Reviewed on 24-07-2018
Marla Schneider(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-01-1970 We just had my daughters wedding at Glenhaven in farmington. An amazing, beautiful venue!!! George and Christine are a pleasure to work with and I can’t begin to tell you how many compliments we had on everything. It’s a little hidden secret outside of farmington!!! Professionalism, beauty, all inclusive .... what more could you ask for!?! Food was AMAZING!!!! Thank you George and Christine for Making my daughters dream a reality!! Reviewed on 18-07-2018
Alyssa Volimas(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-06-2018 Gorgeous venue, you really don't need much decor. We had many comments on how good the food was (Rudy's catered) and how beautiful the venue was. The DJ, which was booked through the venue, was outstanding! George went over the day-of timeline right when we booked and made sure we understood details, options, and put together a timeline. He was always very responsive and accommodating.

Melissa Douglas(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-05-2018 We had our ceremony this past weekend outside at Glenhaven Hall. The wedding site itself was beautiful, however George (who I believe is the owner) was very rude and disrespectful once we paid. I kept all correspondence to show proof of is disrespect. We were basically paying for this wedding ourselves so we were on a very tight budget and only booked the ceremony site for 1 hour. Chairs were not set up until 2:52 PM (I was there and made notes of the exact times), guests had to assist with setup to make sure the ceremony started on time as well. Originally George had denied my request for Processional Music, but after an extremely rude comment he forwarded correspondence to me where processional music was included. After I made him aware of that, he was short and rude in his further emails. I'd advise you to see the Facebook reviews, however he deletes any comments that aren't glowing recommendations..

Jenny Janes(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-02-2018 Christine and George were amazing! Christine helped keep me sane throughout the day, making sure everything was looking good.

Sandra Holten(wedding party)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-03-2019 We have had an excellent experience working with Glenhaven Events for our daughter's wedding. We appreciated and valued George's perspective as someone who has knowledge of this business as well as his willingness to work with some of our special requests -specialty drink and a live band. We have received so many compliments regarding the venue and the caterer recommended by Glenhaven (Rudy's Redeye in Rosemount). It was a beautiful day and as parents of the bride, we were able to thoroughly enjoy the day knowing that George and the wedding coordinator, Christine had it all covered. Reviewed on 01-01-2018

Ashley Endres(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-11-2018 There are no words to describe the lengths that George and his entire staff go to in order to make your special day absolutely AMAZING! Friendly, accommodating, approachable, understanding, hospitable..the list goes on. As a bride, you have ZERO stress. Everyone knows how much fun weddings are when you're a guest...it's just as much fun (if not more) when you are the bride&groom. Hands down the best decision we could have made when planning our wedding. Three years later and people are STILL talking about our wedding : how great the food was, how much fun/interactive the DJ was, the photo booth, decorations, and lighting. This staff makes every detail just the way you are imagining your perfect wedding day to be. I can't recommend them highly enough! Reviewed on 02-09-2017
Aimee Fabro(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-11-2016 George, Christine, and Glenhaven staff were all amazing to work with and they made our wedding very special and just perfect in every way possible!

Gretchen Wagner(wedding party)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-09-2018 Our daughter just got married at Glenhaven on 7-1-17. We have received so many compliments on the venue. George and Christine along with the rest of the Glenhaven employees made the afternoon and evening a night to remember. Glenhaven takes the stress out of managing your reception with their expertise in all aspects of planning. I am glad George and Christine helped along the way because there were things I didn't even know I needed to know about planning for the big day. They did a marvelous job. The venue was just perfect. Glenhaven is just wonderful, the food is delicious, the decorations and tables are beautiful, the music was what my daughter picked out, and dancing with the lights was so much fun. Our guest showed up earlier than expected and Christine was so gracious and had the bar open up early. She never missed a beat and made sure the reception ran smoothly. The outside grounds are just as beautiful as the inside of Glenhaven. I can hardly wait to see the pictures. The weather was just lovely and so many beautiful areas to take pictures. Hats off to George and Christina. I would highly recommend Glenhaven Event Center for a wedding and/or reception. I can't thank George and Christine enough for a job well done. Reviewed on 07-07-2017
Lanai Leslie(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-06-2017 I cannot say enough about how great Glenhaven Events was for our wedding! The venue is absolutely gorgeous and speaks for itself. We had a terribly windy day (like 20 miles per hour) so we couldn't use many of our decorations for the outdoor ceremony and it was still beautiful! We made a last minute decision to bring our cocktail hour inside because of the weather and they were able to accommodate the change. George helped us come up with a timeline for the day to make sure that no detail was missed. Our day of coordinator was Christine and she was amazing! She and her staff made sure everything was set up perfectly and we didn't have to do a thing (even though some of our centerpieces required filling with water). She made the whole day run smoothly. The catering was fantastic (Rudy's Red Eye Grill) and all of the guests commented on how our non-traditional wedding food was the best they had ever had. We had meat loaf and pork chops. DJ Ryan was a lot of fun and kept the whole group dancing all night. We had a full dance floor still at midnight! Overall I would recommend this place to EVERYONE! Not only because it is beautiful but with the staff you are guaranteed to have a good time. Thank you again to Glenhaven for making our wedding day the best day of our lives! Reviewed on 12-06-2017

Sarah Suardi(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-09-2016 My husband and I had a very eccentric approach to what we wanted for our wedding day. We wanted to have an even blend of traditional elements as well as details showing our nerdy aspects of our lives. George and the rest of the Fab Weddings crew took our non-traditional ideas in stride and we couldn't be more thankful! Everyone was wonderful to work with and willing to TRULY tailor our wedding day to fit who we are.For those that cannot or chose not to budget out $20k+ for their wedding, this is the BEST option out there. Every detail is customizable to fit anyone's budget- from the table decorations to the length of time with the photographer, to the food options, to the color of the napkins! I don't know how I would have planned our wedding without their help! Reviewed on 25-05-2017
Renee Carter(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-04-2017 I cant say enough about my experience with Fab Weddings. They were absolutely incredible and helped to make my big day as memorable as anyone could wish for. They were accommodating and took care of the planning, me and my wife only had to do the fun stuff which was picking things out. I honestly cannot say enough about Jana. SHE WAS BEYOND WORDS AMAZING. She went over and beyond her call of duty in order to assure that my big day was as stress free as possible. Even when things were going not as planned (due to the day NOT due to Fab Weddings) she stepped in to help wherever she could. George was great! There was honestly never dull moment. He put the particulars together and was super speedy in his delivery. We never had to wonder where things were wedding wise because he was constantly in communication. His wedding business is definitely not one that was just in it for the money! I truly can say that they have morals and care about the patrons that they assist! All of the vendors (Photographer, DJ, Linens, Catering, etc) that they set us up with were so sweet and made my day their day. They made us feel special and it didn't feel like a forged happiness. Even though the vendors were laid out, the wedding was still our own. It reflected every part of who we are as a couple. Very personalized. I'm already planning to use FAB WEDDINGS for the renewal of my vows in 10 years. :) Thank You FAB WEDDINGS for everything!!!!! Reviewed on 19-04-2017

Davi Kieffer(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-12-2017 What an amazing experience. Rev. Maverick is unbelievably fun and entertaining. Frankly, everyone on the team we worked with was so friendly and helpful that we never felt awkward during any of our planning meetings. Cindyrella's Garden was absolutely beautiful with a clear view of a cute pond for an even more stunning backdrop. We picked out our invitations, flowers, cake, food and decor with near ease using a team of overly knowledgeable people who took us seriously and provided professional opinions to help us make the best decisions. We never had to worry about how the food, cake or flower deliveries were going to be handled, which meant we did not have to obligate family or friend's to ensure it everything thing made it safe and sound. At the end of the night, our only responsibility was to make certain we had collected the gifts and the personal pieces (the guest book for example) we had added. All of the clean-up was handled by George's crew and we didn't have to give anything a second thought. Do not underestimate this company. They take the worry out of the worst part of the planning stages and bring out your personality to make your day be that much more special. Reviewed on 17-10-2016
Katie Malecha(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-10-2016 Glenhaven Events is a beautiful venue! We had both the ceremony and the reception at the site and it was very easy for our guests and wedding party. The reception hall looks fantastic and has wonderful lighting that creates a great atmosphere. We received many compliments on this! George is extremely easy to work with and accommodating. He was able to offer wonderful advice throughout the entire process. He has vendors set up for you but still gives you the option of deviating and selecting your own with no hassle. We used all of his vendors (except for the photography) and we were extremely happy with all of them. The best part is that they know the venue and and everything was setup and taken down for us. Minimal stress for us and our parents. The event manager, Christine, was extremely helpful and ensured everything ran smoothly on the big day. We were able to meet with her several days before the wedding and drop off any decorations. (This was a huge stress relief.) She ensured everything was set up correctly and to our wishes. Overall, it's a wonderful venue and made even better by the fact that much of the \"heavy lifting\" his handled by George and his staff. It's also very reasonably priced. Reviewed on 13-10-2016
