Its an old dairy barn, if thats your idea of the perfect wedding venue then yay for you. Property…read moreis not handicap friendly so keep your guest list in mind. No concrete paths, the ramp to upper level is steep and gravel, stairs to upper level are steep, and no elevator. Food service was terrible, took over 2 hours to get everyone their food, wedding we attended started at 4, hang out from 430 to 530 doing nothing dinner started at 530 and my table didn't eat till 745 and by then everything was cold. Now we will hit on beverage service, $6 for a 12oz can of beer, $9 for an 8oz cocktail, no water at tables but there was a small jug at the bar that was constantly empty. Temp control is another issue but to their defense it is an old barn. I personally don't know why these venues are the current craze but if it was me shelling out the cash id look somewhere else thats more guest friendly....

AMAZING.... That is the word to describe everything about this property! My sister got married here…read morelast summer. The grounds are super well kept, the hosts (husband/wife) went above and beyond with making sure everything was in place for our families special day! There is a beautiful space off to the side for the outdoor portion of the ceremony with authentic church pews, so so pretty! The barn itself is super spacious, plenty of room, I loved the wing area, which was perfect for the dance floor space. The food/catering/bar service company were all very awesome. Food was very tasty, servers were very professional and the bartenders made it a fun evening! Plenty of parking with a beautiful walk up a ramp leading into the barn. There is also this gorgeous outdoor patio with a cute fireplace outside, this was great for people to find another place to socialize throughout the day. Having a bridal suite and groomsmen room onsite was also a huge plus. Both had lots of space for everyone to get ready. I highly recommend you to check out Bloom Lake Barn to host your wedding or event!

Depending on the size of the crowd, parking and entry can be a breeze or really tough. It is a venue that has a lot of potential, with both the inside of the building and the outdoor field where ABR is held available as potential space. I guess I would say that I feel the ABR is too big for this venue and there are parking issues (not to mention the wrap-around-the-block hour-long wait to get through the gate). Other things I've been to at this facility seemed better suited. For the record, I do think that reusing an old building period is awesome. It's way better than just letting it sit there. :-)

What a fantastic community space and outdoor recreation center! Totally makes winter in Minnesota…read moreeven better. I'm new to discovering The Trailhead at Theodore Wirth Regional Park, but believe me when I say I'll be back many more time. In the winter, they offer cross-country skiing and lessons. (You can rent a full set of gear for about $30- no need to have your own to experience skiing! They also have à la carte options for cheaper if you only need poles or boots, etc.) Besides skiing, outdoor winter activities also include snow tubing, snowboarding, snowshoeing.... You name it. (I haven't been in fall or summer yet, but I also hear great things about their mountain biking and trail running options.) Inside The Trailhead, there's food and drink concessions, ample seating, lockers, bathrooms, and even rooms for rent. The last time I was there, a family was hosting a young child's birthday party in the multi-purpose room. Altogether, there is an amazing assortment of services here to come and check out. Can't wait for next ski season!

The building is a perfect space for bringing a large group together for games, chatting, eating, and sledding on the snowy hills just outside the doors. They used to serve hot food, but they no longer have that option. The food was not consistent or anything all that special, but it was a nice option. This time we brought Thanksgiving leftovers and some breakfast bagel sandwiches. The space is well maintained and clean. It is spacious and has lots of room for young kids to run around and not be a disturbance. Always look forward to coming here.

Coming from the twin cities, my gps had taken me on a lot of country roads to get there. I thought…read moremaybe I was lost until I reached the destination. Absolutely lovely venue for a sweet country style or shabby chic wedding! They had a gorgeous barn decked out with chandeliers and comfortable seating. Lots of extra little modern touches of chalkboards that they had beautiful writing on them for the wedding. The outdoor seating for the actually wedding had nice solid planted benches- not teetering- which is alway my odd fear when having to opt for bench seating. It was a beautiful set up. They had some funky fun pieces too. A giant rooster and the standing tables outside had some fun or nice quotes on them. The quirky, wordie gal in me loves the fun random find of what was written in the tables. They even had a posh 3 bathroom, air conditioning outdoor potty rooms. Both for men and women (no, I resisted checking out the men's but I was dang curious if it was as nice as the ladies side). They also had ample parking, which is always a big appreciation for a city chic like me. My only complaint...it was hella hot in that barn!! For an 80 plus degree day, I would say they are not set up as well as they could be for moving that hot air. Should I EVER decide to marry again, I would totally consider this venue...in a cooler month.

The space is updated, and a number of people mentioned how nicely it was decorated. There is street parking all around, and a couple of lots further down the street. FYI: As with other rental spaces, there is a list of items that you can't use in the space - candles, confetti, etc . . ., but they have it all listed on the website under the FAQs, so you know upfront what you are getting into. Also, you have to clean the space when you are finished using it, not a big deal, just make sure you factor that into the rental time. If I were in need of this kind of space again, I would definitely use this space again.
