Leslie P. Sent on 08/27/2020If I could give it 10 stars I would!
Where do I even start?
Thank you for giving Allie and Jake their dream wedding!
Everything was absolutely PERFECT and your staff was amazing! They went above and beyond to make the day fabulous! They were constantly there all day for us and handled every detail flawlessly!
I can not say enough good things about the wedding coordinator Kathy! She was so sweet and helpful and ran that wedding so smoothly. She's a superstar!
Glenhaven looked fantastic and the ceremony area outside was beautiful.
The food was so delicious! People were raving about how good it all was. I had multiple guests ask me where the food was from and they said they can't wait to go check out Brianno's.
The DJ was so fun and had people on the dance floor until the very last song!
The bartenders were awesome and as soon as they saw me walking towards the bar they'd have my drink all ready for me!
When we started wedding planning 18 months ago, who would have thought we'd be faced with a pandemic! You made all the planning during what could have been a very stressful time even without a pandemic so fun and stress free! I'm literally in awe how easy you made everything for us, even while I'm sure you had so much extra work and details to work out with
being in compliance with Covid restrictions. You were so good at being in contact with us and letting us know what was going on and keeping us laughing with your hilarious emails! It was just what we needed when everything was so up in the air.
I will never be able to say enough how incredible Glenhaven was! Perfect and incredible don't seem like good enough adjectives to describe the wedding day!
Thank you so much, George!! I can't wait to recommend Glenhaven to every single person I know! I don't think anyone does weddings better than you!
Much love,
Leslie Pingley

Brittney Sent on 05/15/2019Amazing Venue!
What can I say other than our wedding was the wedding of our dreams, if not better. It’s all thanks to this gorgeous venue and the amazing staff! The entire process of working with Glenhaven and Fab Weddings was a breeze from the beginning to the end. Everyone told me that wedding planning was really stressful and a lot of work, but this team made it so easy for me. Every one of the vendors was professional, responded quickly, followed up without prompting, and super friendly! So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and said it was the most fun wedding they had ever been to! We were lucky to get a nice 75 degree and sunny day in April, so we were able to get married outside in the garden. The ceremony was gorgeous and the garden is the perfect back drop for pictures. Our officiant Matt Iverson was perfect for me and my husband. He was funny and light hearted. The event coordinator Christine Corning did great at keeping us on track, so we didn’t have to worry about it. The entire day ran like clockwork! That was probably the best part for me. Another huge plus is that we didn’t have to set up or take down anything. We were able to just step back and relax and enjoy the day. Our DJ Steve Macke was amazing! He really felt the room and kept the dance floor filled all night. Food was delicious and the cake from Sweet Kneads in Farmington was fantastic. Karen Zinger did our decorations and they were better than I could have ever dreamed. She got every detail right and I received so many compliments! Our flowers from Rosemount floral were beautiful. I don’t know much about flowers, but Michelle helped me pick perfect ones. They were delivered in the morning and they lasted all day! I loved how they turned out. Our photographer Joan Brochman and videographer Dan Riggs worked so well with my giant bridal party and made it really fun. I could go on and on about how wonderful it was. Working with the owner, George Maverick, and his entire team really made our wedding the best day ever.Glenhaven Events's reply:
Dear Brittney & Ben,
Thank you so much for the kind word. It was a pleasure working for you to achieve this dream day!
XOXO

Exactly What We Were Looking For!
My wife and I were married at Glenhaven Events in Farmington, MN on 11.24.18. Our experience we had echoed all of those who we we spoke with, which were either married at Glenhaven or another Fab Weddings location.
George, Andrea, and Christine were awesome to work worth. From our initial visit of the venue to our wedding day they were involved every step of the way. Whenever we had questions about decorations or how a certain aspect would work they were very prompt in their response with an answer or recommendation. These days with all the options you have available to you with getting married, for us personally, we chose the place that we knew would provide the experience, not just the best price (although hard to beat their packages), and Glenhaven/Fab Weddings were the ones who provided that for us.
George's expertise and experience was invaluable, whether he was helping us with our timeline or making recommendations on day-of events, he was a great collaborator while still allowing us to bring our vision of our big day to the venue.
On our big day, Christine and her staff were on point with timing, setting up, tare down, and making sure our vision came true. Even with us throwing them some curveballs at them the staff was excellent and their ability to quickly convert the room from the ceremony to dinner was painless. After looking back on our wedding day, the only minor recommendation we have is although the staff was very attentive it would be nice to have a staff member dedicated to the bride and groom/head table/wedding party to help assist with drink service. Your wedding day is very busy and at times very hard to be able to slip away to get something to drink. This would be very helpful to the those individuals and a very nice touch in the future. Again, this is a very minor detail in the grand scheme of things and in no way took away from how excellent our service was.
The food was amazing, we number of compliments we received on dinner was just another tip of the cap to Brianno's and their already very well established catering reputation. We chose the pasta bar and would do it again if we had to go back and make this decision. We also used Farmington Bakery for our dessert and their staff was awesome as well. They made a custom s'mores bar that was a huge hit, so much so that we weren't even able to get our hands on one the night of, which is a good thing! But we did have our amazing two-tier cake that was delicious! Their staff was so great that once we told them how huge of a hit the s'mores bars were and that we didn't get any, they made a small batch for us to have at home, so thank you!
Cue DJ Steve, he got the place rocking right from the get go and kept it going all night. He was super easy to work with and great at playing to the crowd throughout the night. Even with the multiple special requests we made of him, the presentations he did, and a last minute arrival of Nordy from the MN Wild he adapted on the fly for all of it and helped make our day amazing.
To sum this all up, we definitely recommend you check out Fab Weddings for your big day. Their friendly staff, complete wedding day solutions, beautiful venues, day-of experience, and expertise of the industry they are a must-have partner on your wedding day!
Thank you again to Glenhaven Staff, Christine, Andrea, and George for making our day one we will never forget.
Gratefully,
The Hoffs -

Katie Sent on 09/21/2018Seriously, where do I begin?! Glenhaven was the one and only place my husband and I toured when we got engaged and right when we stepped into the venue, we knew this was it. George and his staff are truly top notch. I can say with 100% honesty that our day was perfect because of them.
The venue is gorgeous and hardly needs any decorations at all. The garden in the back is beautiful. They were very open to us using our own vendors or theirs if needed. And they are very open about you adding and subtracting things to your wedding package. George keeps very good track of your expenses in a spreadsheet (we actually ended up over paying because our guest list ended up being smaller than expect. So George sent us a check in the mail with the balance that we over paid. You can trust that George has your best interest at heart).
We used the salon/arcade room for the morning and I HIGHLY recommend. The salon is absolutely gorgeous and my party had the best time. The men (and women once were ready) were able to play the games while we waited for the ceremony which was awesome. Everyone had such a good time!
We wanted a light/humorous ceremony and decided we wanted George as the officiant. He was accommodating to what we wanted and we received many compliments from our guest on how great/funny he was.
The after party I think is what sets Glenhaven apart from others. They had a bubble and fog machine for our first dance. And the lighting in the venue is terrific! As the bride, I walked down the spiral staircase with the spotlight which was very unique and something I’ve never seen before. George provided us with DJ Ryan who was the best! He was very accommodating and played song requests all night.
I could write pages and pages on how perfect our wedding day was, but reach out to George and take a tour of Glenhaven yourself. You will not be disappointed. Thank you again George! We are forever grateful for the experience you provided to us and our guests.

Marla Sent on 07/18/2018Amazing and beautiful venue! All my guests were in awe! George and Christine were fantastic to work with. I had a sister who had both knees replaced and when it came time to eat one if the staff approached my sister and brought her a plate of food on her own. I had a few people express interest in using the venue for their upcoming weddings. George did an amazing job officiating, the salon was perfect for getting ready in. To give Glenhaven and George and his staff less than 5 stars is an injustice. It’s a beautiful special little hidden secret out in farmington!

Rick A. Sent on 03/09/2018We couldn’t have been more pleased with George and his team. Our daughter’s (Jenny and Matt, Feb 17, 2018) wedding was 1000 miles from home for us and when we arrived everything that had been agreed upon was exactly what we had expected and hoped for. It really made for a magical and nearly stress-free event that we will never forget. Christine was over the top helpful, kind and organized. The DJ, Ryan, was very professional and excellent, the food was great. The bar hosting service was outstanding. Communication up to, and after the wedding was fantastic. The venue at Glenhaven was perfect. Thank’s again for helping us create memories that will last a lifetime! Rick and Gayle J. - Colorado.
