Almquist Farm is amazing! They made my special day even more special! The grounds look beautiful with the rolling hills and easy access to the outdoor ceremony space. The cenue in general does not need much for decorations. We had a nice bonfire going layer in the night that everyone started to make their way our there. And the goats were a big hit for everyone including the kids. The bridal building is perfect, the only negative was not a lot of natural light for the makeup artist in the one room but we made it work just had to keep the grooms away from that side of the building until my makeup was done which made it a fun game and had lots of laugh during that. Paul was great to talk to and helped us with the initial tour and when we came in the first Wednesday of each month he helped alot when we game in with questions he was able to answer them with ease. If I had to do my wedding all over again I would pick almquist Farm everytime! Very professional and family oriented and they really strive to make sure you have a perfect venue for your special day.Almquist Farm's reply:
Thank you Sarah! We are glad to hear you and your group had a great day! We are thankful for an absolutely gorgeous October this year. We wish you two the best in your new life together! -

Amazing location for a wedding
Almquist Farms is a beautiful location to host an outdoor or indoor wedding. Paul and Kari went out of their way to ensure every detail for our kids’ wedding was covered. Paul and Kari were so accommodating and flexible in the wedding planning. This location has everything you need. Lots of space for outdoor and indoor reception seating, goats and chickens to feed, beautiful outdoor altar at the top of a picturesque pasture, lots of room for games and outdoor activities, and a super friendly staff that ensures your guests are talking about the amazing wedding they attended for years to come.

We love Almquist Farm! Our June wedding here was a dream – we feel so lucky that we found this place! The venue itself is stunning, which we appreciate for the beautiful photos and the gorgeous setting the day of. We couldn’t imagine a better place to get married!
Our guests loved the venue, too. The shaded ceremony site really helped out on a warm day, and the birdsong down there is lovely. The lawn beside the barn is awesome for cornhole and tumbling tower, and the kids loved seeing the goats and chickens. We set up our tables around the dance floor so nothing had to be moved (200 guests), and there wasn’t a bad seat in the house. Guests also appreciated the campfire outside, which provided a nice break from the craziness indoors!
We loved working with Paul and Kari, who were really responsive; between their helpfulness and common-sense venue policies, we really felt like they’re in this to share their gorgeous property and help make wonderful memories (especially compared to other venues we toured, who would charge you for tap water if they could!). The bar was also a hit; we were glad that they had good options (things we would drink at home!), and they worked with us to set a bar schedule that worked with our budget.
We’re recommending Almquist to all our friends, not least because we want to go back as guests! Thanks, Paul and Kari, for a lovely experience! -

My guests keep telling me how beautiful it was and how fun the goats are. All of the kids were kept busy and had a great time. Paul and Keri are super nice and easy to work with. My hard-to-please old man farmer guests said the bar had really good service and the bartenders were awesome. It is really such a wonderful venue! -

My husband and I got married at Almquist last month, and I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect place! Their outdoor reception site is absolutely ~dreamy~, and the reception barn is beautiful too! Everything about Almquist is classy, clean, and updated. We had almost 250 guests, and the space fit everyone without feeling tight. Paul and Kari were so easy to work with, and every single vendor that we hired spoke really highly about working with Paul and Kari. If you can book Almquist, DO IT!!! -

Maddie B. Sent on 08/24/2021Almquist Farm is the perfect place to get married
e got married a couple of weeks ago on August 13, 2021. From the very start, Paul and Kari were amazing. Planning a wedding during a pandemic is not easy, we had several questions that we needed to be answered and Paul and Kari answered quickly and with great detail. We had a PERFECT day. We had an outdoor ceremony where the sound worked perfectly. We had a HUGE bridal party that fit well in the "getting ready" areas. Paul and Kari were around helping all day long. We truly could not have picked a better place to get married. ALL of our guests told us how much they loved it and how beautiful Almquist Farms are. I would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone!Almquist Farm's reply:
Thank you so much Maddie! We are so glad we finally have had some really nice weather weekends after a couple of hot months. Best wishes to you and Brady in your new life together! -

It's simple, really.... if Almquist Farm is open for your dream day-- BOOK IT!! Paul and Kari were extremely helpful and great hosts, we loved that we were working with family rather than a huge corporate structure. If you have toured or seen photos of the venue, you know it is stunning. Guests complimented it endlessly and loved the picturesque sunset, patio, and goats of course! The ceremony site is beautiful as well, and the shade from the big tree helped even our 85 degree day feel comfortable to guests. We 10/10 recommend. -

We got married July, 2021 at Almquist and want to let you know how truly special our day was at Almquist Farm. Not only was the wedding day special, the process was wonderful. We toured and interviewed many, many, venues and when we met Kari & Paul, we knew it was the perfect family and venue for us to have our wedding at. Along the way, Paul & Kari were always responsive with any questions that came up and helped us along the way. They are extremely professional, organized and some of the kindest, genuine people we’ve met. The wedding day was better than we could have even imagined! From the girls and guys getting ready at the granary to the breathtaking ceremony, to the fantastic bar service in the reception, we couldn’t have asked for a better venue. Our guests said it was one of the best and coolest weddings they’ve ever been to. Thank you.

Memorable! Beautiful! Loved our Wedding Venue!
We had our incredible & beautiful wedding on September 6th, 2020! 110% + Recommend Almquist Farm for a wedding venue! We needed a new venue last minute due to Covid-19 and Paul & Kari were communicative & open with us from Day 1 of calling and helped us feel calm throughout the process. They always had answers to our questions and we appreciated their kindness & fast responses! The venue reception space, granary, ceremony site, baby goats & bonfire were beautiful, clean, and we received nonstop compliments throughout the day & night! Staff were incredibly kind and helpful and responsive! We appreciated every moment of our wedding day!! If we wish to repeat our wedding cheers in the coming years, we’d love to return to Almquist Farm in Hastings, MN! -

We can't say enough good things about Paul, Kari and Almquist Farm. Paul and Kari were quick to respond to any questions we had during the planning process. The venue is beautiful and perfect for every part of the wedding day. The granary is a great spot to spend the day getting ready and the ceremony location is unbelievable.
We had our wedding during COVID and Paul and Kari were amazing throughout the whole process. We are so thankful we choose the Almquist Farm for our wedding and how they responded to the extra complication of COVID just solidifies our decision. We had a storm rolling in right around the ceremony time and Paul was there to explain all of our options, while also examining the radar the whole time. Paul was as invested in the outcome as our family was, which was amazing to see. We missed the rain and the sun came out for a perfect sunset. Thanks Almquist Farm! -

My husband and I just got married here & had the most amazing day! We knew we wanted a barn venue & this checked off all of our wants and needs. The moment we toured it we knew it was the perfect place. We received non stop compliments from our guests on how beautiful Almquist is and how much fun everyone was having enjoying the goats, the outside hangout space, and the beautiful barn. The owners were so nice to work with from day one of wedding planning. Their whole family was so wonderful to us! They made all our wedding dreams come true! -

Almquist Farm made all my wedding dreams come true. Paul and Kari were great to work with, they answered all our questions in a timely manner and were supportive during the pandemic. I loved everything about my wedding day and received a ton of compliments on how beautiful the venue was and how nicely everything was done.Almquist Farm's reply:
Thank you Mary! We really appreciate the way you and Tyler handled the uncertainty of the various government restrictions leading up to your wedding day. You were patient and thoughtful and in the end it paid off as you were able to have a beautiful wedding day with a large group on your original date. Best wishes to both of you for a long and happy life together! -

Amanda D. Sent on 07/24/2020More than just a breathtaking venue!
I cannot recommend Almquist Farm enough. The venue is absolutely beautiful, from the gorgeous ceremony spot to the reception barn - it is seriously the prettiest space. More than being a breathtaking property, the owners, Paul and Kari, are the kindest, most accommodating people. They were always warm and welcoming, prompt in responding to calls/emails, and encouraged us through planning our wedding amidst COVID. They went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was the most perfect day! We could not be more grateful for them and our decision to book at Almquist Farm. -
