    Absolutely love Woodhaven!!

    As a wedding planner I worked at Woodhaven a few months ago and WOW the space is so so stunning! It's got so much natural light and is versatile for any design/theme. The layout is great going from ceremony, to cocktail hour, to reception. The staff was so communicative before the wedding & the day of and we look forward to our future weddings here!

    A beautiful place to have a wedding

    Woodhaven was a fantastic venue! It was gorgeous, we didn't need to over-decorate, we just used a few florals and greens and photos here and there, because the space stood so well on its own. Micayla was our point person when we initially reached out and we ended up hiring her as our coordinator because she really went above and beyond. The ceremony and reception spaces are in different rooms for an easy transition, and everything is inside which makes for a stress-free day in terms of weather. We had 250 people and there was still plenty of room. The bar is big which serves a large group well and the get-ready rooms are stunning for both the bridal AND groomsman parties. If you want to supply your own alcohol, Woodhaven won't be for you - you have to purchase alcohol through Woodhaven and food through their preferred caterer, River Valley Catering, but RVC's food is fantastic. The entire team is really organized and helpful - would definitely recommend your wedding day here.

    The best venue & team!

    MY FAVORITE VENUE & TEAM IN MN!!!! With a warm heart and a creative mindset, Brittany listened and saw my vision and helped me make my dream come true! Supportive, personable, professional, reliable, and hard working— we couldn’t have asked for a better venue coordination team. Woodhaven is a gorgeous and timeless venue with a beautiful white canvas that is easily designable and beautiful with even the littlest decor. They have a great group of preferred vendors and this venue sits on a stunning piece of land with a remarkable view and lots of parking and hotel options for your guests. This wedding venue is a dream and truly Woodhaven is what made our favorite day so incredible! Every meeting that lead up to our day was helpful and the weekend of the wedding they went above and beyond to take care of our family and friends. Worth every penny! Thank you to the Woodhaven team who gave us the best day of our lives!!! We are forever grateful for your outstanding hospitality!

    Beautiful Venue

    We had both our ceremony and reception at Gopher Hills. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. I believe they didn't take for granted this was a very important and special day for me and my fiancé and made every effort to ensure it was exactly what we wanted. They were very responsive to my questions and concerns even if they may have been silly details that were obvious (I've never been married .. what did I know!). Due to weather we had to move the ceremony inside and the staff was very cooperative in meeting with me the day before to come up with a plan to move it inside. They really listened and offered suggestions from their experience. Even when something wasn't as I had expected the staff went out of their way to meet my expectations. Great venue, wonderful staff and prenominal food!

    Thank you, Laura!

    It was a pleasure working with you and we wish you the best! We can't wait to see more pictures!

    Gopher Hills Golf Course

    Gopher Hills Golf course was an amazing place to have both my husband and I’s wedding. It is an affordable and beautiful place where the service was wonderful and they allowed me to have a perfect day without having to worry about anything! I would definitely recommend this place for weddings and any other gatherings or parties that you will have.

    Woodhaven Weddings + Events's reply:

    Thank you so much for the great review Amber! We definitely pride ourselves on our service and we want you to be able to enjoy your big day without stressing about all the details. It's always nice to hear that it's appreciated. Congrats again!

    Amazing experience

    Had our daughters wedding ceremony and reception at gopher hills, they were easy to work with and the whole staff was very accommodating. They went above and beyond to make the day very special. The food was amazing, had a lot of compliments from guests saying how good the food was. We had rain for the ceremony but it cleared up after so we could get some amazing pictures on the beautiful grounds. Would highly recommend gopher hills for ceremony and reception.




    Woodhaven Weddings + Events's reply:

    Thank you so much for the great review Wendy! I'm so glad you guys had a positive experience and thank goodness the rain cleared up for a bit. There's nothing worse than mother nature messing with your vision for the big day, but thankfully we were able to make it almost as beautiful inside. You guys were great to work with 😊

    Above and Beyond!

    Tyler and I are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Danielle and Gopher Hills Golf Course. Danielle and her team were extremely professional, yet very personable, and provided quality customer service. They went above and beyond the call of duty. It's because of Lynn, Danielle and Gopher Hills Golf Course that we even had a wedding at all! 2-weeks before the wedding we had our venue cancel on us for the ceremony and reception. With one phone call, Lynn and Danielle came in and saved the day! Danielle took into consideration all the vendors I already had booked and was willing to work with all the details I had already paid for. Within days, she was able to send me a contract for the venue. Most importantly, Danielle and Gopher Hills Golf Course made us feel apart of their family, and made sure we were taken care of. I could not have imagined a more beautiful wedding!

    Sincere thanks and gratitude, Tyler and Amy Hawkins

    we had both our ceremony and reception here. It was totally beautiful. The weather started out raining all morning but an hour before the ceremony started it stopped raining and the sun came out. The staff at gopher hills and Mike who runs the catering was fabulous. The food was so good. Mike really worked with us to make sure our day was exactly what we wanted. One of the pluses was that they were there doing their job, but they never really were seen. this location is out of the city so it is great for a quiet ceremony without the hussle and bussle of city traffic and noises

    Our wedding was a fairy-tale day and I think a part of that was how great the venue and staff were. Everyone raved about the food and the balcony was a perfect location for our ceremony. They were so accommodating to my requests. A perfect space to have my wedding.

    Best day ever.

    All of the staff was very helpful in every step of the process. I’ve never been one to plan things and Brittany helped so much getting everything planned out and setting up a timeline of when things should probably take place. When the day came there was not a whole lot I had to worry about which made the day even better!

    Thank you Ali, it was a pleasure working with you! I wish you both nothing but the best, thanks again!

    We had some difficulties with response time when questions came up, and the caterer had some trouble remembering a lot of the stuff we discussed (it was all kept on one email file so nothing could get lost); we had to repeat ourselves many times. Not everything was very clear, what we assumed the caterer's answers to our questions were saying were not what happened at the reception. All in all we were satisfied with the facilties though. The food tasted amazing, and it was perfect having the dinner in one room, dance in the other room, and being able to decorate the night before. Nothing TERRIBLE went wrong with our entire day, and we can honestly say it was a blast/the best day of our lives!

    Lots of Transition, but handled it well

    We had a great time at our wedding, the night of staff was amazing and did a great job making us feel welcomed. There was a lot of transitions happening in the company between the time we reserved the space and our wedding day, but everything came together well.

    Woodhaven ruined my wedding ceremony and refused to make it right.

    The microphone that was provided and required (officiant brought his own but we were told we had to use theirs) was going in and out the entire ceremony. It ruined the song and all of the spoken parts. It was extremely embarrassing. If I could go back and have my wedding somewhere else I would. The most astounding part is that when I emailed them asking for compensation they basically told me it wasn’t their fault and they would not be giving me any of my money back. Mind you, I paid $8,000 to have my wedding here. I’m still devastated.
