North Star Farm was amazing on my wedding day! They helped me every step of the way. My wedding day was rainy but still managed to help me set up outside before the storm hit and were amazing! They are very kind and helpful in every way possible. Rebecca and Scott made sure my wedding day was the day of my dreams and made it come true! I also had many, many compliments on the venue itself and how beautiful it was. I would recommend this location 100% Reviewed on 08-10-2023

North Star Farm was the first venue my husband and I ever visited and we knew right away it would be our final choice! The outside is amazing and it feels like a special place for you and your guest only (and I don't even talk about Rebecca's amazing flowers)! Everybody told us how beautiful it was! The owners Rebecca and Scott were so nice and helpful all along the planning process, from suggesting vendors to wedding decor! We loved our experience from second one and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this amazing venue to newly engaged couples!Garance & Alec Reviewed on 10-08-2023

My husband and I absolutely loved this venue for our wedding! Everything from the ceremony to the reception was perfect and really well organized. The path for the ceremony is beautiful. The trees surrounding the property give the venue some privacy. The yard games that they have set up are wonderful for your guest to play with while you get your pictures done. Rebecca was worth every penny being our Day Of Coordinator. She helps you plan your whole day, and any problems that arrived are solved quickly. All the prices were upfront with no surprise fees. If you are looking for a place to have an outdoor wedding, look no further! Reviewed on 30-05-2023

As soon as you get there you will see what a wonderful and welcoming atmosphere which they maintain. Everything is updated and conveniently situated for you and your guests to enjoy so you don't have to worry about a thing. They work so well with their staff and vendors so smoothly.

Emily Johnson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-06-2022 My husband and I were married on June 18, 2022 at North Star Farm. From the initial tour, Scott and Rebecca were a dream to work with. They responded to all of our questions in a timely manner, gave us so many tips and helpful planning documents and did so in such a professional, positive and enthusiastic demeanor.On our wedding day we were blown away by how well coordinated everything was. Everything was set up exactly as we had discussed and again Scott and Rebecca were there every step of the way with a smile on their face. Our guests have not stopped complimenting us on how beautiful, well set up and how nice the owners were of the venue. We could not have asked for a better wedding day and Scott & Rebecca were a huge part of this!We Could not recommend North Star more to anyone looking for a wedding venue! North Star had absolutely everything we were looking for - Bridal Suite, Grooms getting ready area, barn reception, gorgeous outdoor ceremony space, a beautiful covered patio for the bar & social hour and close to hotels for our guests.

Emily Lee(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-07-2022 North Star Farm was a beautiful venue! Not only does the property have so many places to take beautiful pictures, but the owners, Rebecca and Scott were so easy to communicate with! If I had a question they would email be back within a day (and I asked them a lot of questions). They were super organized and made sure everything ran smoothly on my wedding day.

BECCA EGSTAD(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-09-2021 This venue is insanely awesome! Rebecca and Scott are extremely easy and wonderful to work with - offering tons of flexibility (which is rare in the industry - as we all know). But the true star is the property. You don't even really NEED decorations, because the natural state of the place is breathtaking enough. Even our guests have been gushing about the ambiance. On top of all of that, the owners are also beautifully organized and well prepared to make your day go smoothly! I'm telling you - use this venue and you will NOT be sorry!!! Reviewed on 23-12-2021

Carolynne Telford(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-06-2021 As a wedding planner in the event industry, I knew how crucial it was for me to find a venue I loved for my wedding that was able to provide flexibility and safety. My husband and I were married on June 4, 2021, at North Star Farm Event Center. We loved this venue so much because of the venue owners, Rebecca and Scott, and their day-of, Taylor. They all stepped in and helped in areas needed and were fantastic and crucial in making our day flow. North Star is a beautiful barn venue located in Le Sueur, MN with tons of open space and gorgeous barns. What made North Star stand out to us was what was offered in our payment. They have a plethora of decor that couples can choose from to borrow, they allow any vendor (even though they do provide a preferred vendor list), they have great options for getting-ready rooms, backup ceremony plans, etc. In fact, I could text Rebecca when I had questions or worries and she would get back to me as soon as she could to help me process and plan. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a rustic, elegant barn wedding, and to anyone looking to have a great venue experience and relationship! Reviewed on 03-08-2021
Alex Schauer(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-05-2021 Amazing venue with even more amazing owners/staff. The folks around North Star are alway there to be helpful and genuinely care about you and the success of your event. Very easy going. Love this place. Reviewed on 31-07-2021
April Edblad(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-09-2022 Just visited this venue this week, and totally fell in love! The venue is beautiful and picture perfect.

This was actually the first venue we toured and ended up canceling all our other tours because we knew this was it. So excited for our wedding next year!! <3 PS. VISIT THIS VENUE IN PERSON! Pictures don't do it justice! Reviewed on 03-06-2021
Taylor Budesky(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-11-2020 We truly loved working with Rebecca and Scott at North Star Farm Event Center. The venue itself is gorgeous and accommodating to all needs and wedding styles, but what Rebecca and Scott include in their pricing is unmatched by other MN barn or farm venues that we toured. You are getting a great team who wants to support you and help out as much as they can on your wedding day! We are still receiving compliments about them and their venue months after our wedding. People truly loved it! Reviewed on 20-02-2021
Michelle Underland(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-09-2020 There isn't enough time in the day to talk about how ABSOLUTELY perfect this venue is. Rebecca and Scott have created the MOST beautiful spaces for all wedding needs! We planned how we wanted our wedding for close to 13 years and I couldn't imagine having it anywhere else! The trees make for a magical outdoor ceremony, the barns are beautiful, the guest house has the perfect \"grandmas house\" feel and the things they have available to use are amazing. From decor to yard games they will make sure your day and night are smooth and perfect. You will not be disappointed in this venue!! Reviewed on 09-10-2020
Manda Christians(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-09-2020 I loved North Star. I loved Rebecca and Scott. These two are a joy to work with. They put their all into this venue, and making it perfect for your wedding day. I’m not lying when I tell you that I literally didn’t touch a thing when it came to decor. (Aside from decorations we added to give it our touch.) The lighting is perfect for the adorable rustic wedding photos, they allow you to take photos with sparklers, and there is even use of a fire pit. The bridal suite is flawless, and I spent most of my morning, getting ready with my closest girls there. I am not exaggerating at all when I say that I continue to recommend this place. It really is worth it. Reviewed on 08-10-2020
Melissa Martinson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-08-2020 North Star Farm is so easy to work with. They are very flexible, laid back and professional.

They both took care of so many things behind the scene that I would have never thought about and really went out of their way to make sure everything went smoothly and that I was stress free.

Kendall Anne(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-05-2021 We are getting married in 2021 at North Star Farm. We are super excited and loved the new add-on patio coverage area on the reception barn --it is huge. It gives the venue a feel of a winery. We just love the set up of all the buildings. The groom and groomsmen will be getting ready in the milk barn and the ladies get the entire farmhouse for our bridal suite area -- they even have a hair room in the house. When we toured it was later in the day and we got to see the gorgeous sunset and then all the lights that are elegantly strung and then hung on a few buildings (and the new patio area by the reception barn). We cannot wait to have our wedding next year!! Reviewed on 17-06-2020
Dan Solofra(parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-06-2020 We could not be more happy with the North Star Farm Event Center. Our daughter was married there in June of 2020 and the experience was more than we could ever have imagined. Even with all the uncertainty with Covid -19, North Star Farm stayed in constant communication with us. They worked with local and state government and fought to get the venue open for our June 13 wedding. THANK YOU NORTH STAR FARM!The great experience started with two outstanding people, Rebecca and Scott. Our daughter lives in Minnesota, but we live out of state. Rebecca patiently walked us through the rental process and gave us a ton of local contacts to make sure we had all that we needed for the big day. On the day of the wedding Rebecca helped coordinate everyone from the bridal party to the florist to the DJ to the bartenders. The entire day she and her team were available and attentive to all our needs with a pleasant and helpful attitude the entire time. She took care of the big things, but every little detail as well. We love you Rebecca!Scott prefers to stay behind the scenes, but was constantly working to make every detail of the farm just right. When we arrived the grounds of the venue were immaculate.(The pictures you see online don't do it justice!) He worked with us throughout the wedding day to make sure every detail from service seating to catering set-up to bar needs to the sparkler send-off went off without a hitch. He made it clear that if we had any need he would do anything in his power to make sure we got what we needed. Scott, you are the best!A few things that really stood out about the venue:Easy access off of Highway 169Ample parkingClassic farm house for bridal party to get readyRustic Barn for groomsmen to dress and get readyShaded, tree-covered service area with plenty of seatingComfortable and covered bar and cocktail areaTasteful dining area with special touches and accent lightingYard games, fire pit and room to take a stroll and watch the sun setLocal alcohol and food services save you a TON of moneyCountless cute places for photo opportunitiesHelpful and attentive staff working as a teamIf you want a country wedding with people who make you feel like family in a venue that is both intimate, beautiful and spacious – you want to go to North Star Farm Event Center.

Kaela Magee(bride)2 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-06-2020 We visited North Star Farm and the venue is beautiful. We were planning to get married in June and were super excited, but with covid-19 realized that this would not be a safe option for us or our family. We originally reached out to the insurance company recommended by NSF in early March but were told cancelation insurance for covid could not apply. We then reached out to North Star to cancel our venue and hopefully get a refund. They said they can only refund if “God forbid a tornado” or something made their business “unusable”. It seems that covid making gathering unsafe does make the venue unsafe to use and unusable in my opinion. They offered to change dates, but changing dates for our wedding was not an option for us. They also told us that venues in the area all had an alliance to not refund any money and repeatedly kept referencing their lawyer. North Star decided to make one \"exception\" and us a refund of 1/3rd of our deposit. We realize that this virus is costly for everyone but paying thousands of dollars for nothing seems unreasonable especially considering that our date is now open again for booking. Also, all of our other vendors have offered full refunds, so North Star Farm's response was really disappointing and not aligned to the norm of our experiences. Reviewed on 30-05-2020
Katie Miller(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-06-2018 Oh my gosh where do I begin! We couldn’t have chosen a better venue, North Star was absolutely perfect & the owners are absolutely amazing to work with!!
