From the reviews
A beautiful place to be sure. Elegant in fact with every need thought of. The staff was excellent and informative. The food service was top notch with courteous well groomed uniformed wait staff cruising around the venue proffering hors d'oeuvres, and cleaning away used utensils inconspicuously.
Bavaria downs is literally the most dreamy, magical, and perfect venue. From the beginning, the whole staff was so friendly and so accommodating. Over the course of the year, I think we visited the venue over 10 times, and they did not care at all.
The very best for luxury weddings in the Twin Cities!! Bavaria Downs is in a class of its own! Charming, and elegant, this venue will completely wow your guests! It is unique in that is has lots of character, and yet it can accommodate large weddings with ease! The staff is professional and helpful.
Getting married at the Edward Anne Estate (with Bellagala services) was one of the best decisions we made! We chose the Essential Package, and it was truly fantastic—not having to worry about selecting most of our vendors took so much stress off our plate.
Getting married at Edward Anne Estate at Bavaria Downs
Edward Anne Estate at Bavaria Downs 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.
Corporate events & private parties at Edward Anne Estate at Bavaria Downs
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Edward Anne Estate at Bavaria Downs — barn venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
