From the reviews

Bloom Lake Barn was the perfect place for our wedding! The communication with Monique was great, & the tables were all set up & ready to go when we got there in the morning. The bridal suite was beautiful to get ready in as well. My favorite part of the farm was the ceremony site with the gorgeous church pews!

★★★★★ — Grace, Jun 2021

This venue really is perfect! Bloom Lake Barn is one of my favorite Minneapolis / Minnesota / twin cities area wedding venues to shoot at, not just for a barn wedding, but for a modern yet romantic feel. Love what the owners have done recently with the pavillion add-on and the white paint in the bridal room!

★★★★★ — Ester, Dec 2022

Bloom Lake Barn is an absolutely wonderful venue! As wedding coordinators that specialize in outdoor/barn weddings, we love being out here! The barn is beautifully maintained and spacious, making it perfect for hosting larger groups while still feeling warm and inviting.

★★★★★ — Rustic, Jan 2025

(Posting from my husbands account) Having my wedding at Bloom Lake Barn this past September was a dream come true! BLB was the first wedding venue my husband and I looked at. I fell in love with it instantly and didn't want or need to tour anywhere else!

Getting married at Bloom Lake Barn

Bloom Lake Barn comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
