After years of rocking the service and hospitality industries in Colorado, we knew one thing: planning a big event doesn't have to be a major stress-fest. Our mission? To take the 'ugh' out of planning and inject pure 'YAY!' into your celebration. We're all about giving you the freedom to craft a wedding that genuinely reflects you – no cookie-cutters here! Want to bring your genuine personal touches? Go for it! Dream of a ceremony under a majestic oak tree? We've got the perfect one, overlooking a tranquil pond. While being surrounded by the beauty of nature and the joy of your friends and family, you will feel at home while celebrating your event here at Pleasant Pastures. Our desire is to give you the freedom to create the wedding of your dreams! You're not just a booking; you are part of the Pleasant Pastures Fam from day one!
So, what does that mean for your epic celebration? Imagine an outdoor ceremony site that's basically a real-life fairytale, complete with a giant old oak tree and a shimmering pond with stunning landscape. Then, move the party into our spacious commercial reception tent with a concrete dance floor – perfect for showing off those viral TikTok dances under the lights! Rain or shine, we've got you covered.
But wait, there's more! Our 64 acres are packed with photo ops that are basically made for your Instagram feed: a handmade mahogany tree swing (hello, iconic couple shots!), an antique horse carriage, gently rolling pastures, and even our friendly farm animals (cows, sheep, chickens – they're basically part of the greeting committee!)
We're also obsessed with making things easy. We've compiled a list of dedicated vendors who get our 'stress-less' philosophy, and we're cool with you bringing your own (yes, even your own alcohol for our bartender to serve in our custom made grain bin bar - score!). Plus, we're just 20 minutes from Grand Casino Mille Lacs – perfect for an extended wedding weekend for you and your crew!
As a family-run venue, we genuinely care about your experience. We've poured our hearts into every detail of Pleasant Pastures, from the meticulously cared-for grounds to the thoughtful amenities like luxury restroom trailers, getting-ready tents, and really cool grain bin bar. We want you to feel seen, heard, and totally supported throughout your journey with us.
