From the reviews

Malbay Estate is such a fabulous wedding venue!! I'm glad my daughter and now son-in-law chose Malbay as their wedding venue. I loved that we were able to stay on premises, in the newly remodeled farmhouse with some of our family and friends the whole weekend.

★★★★★ — Shana, Oct 2024

If you are looking for a truly magical wedding venue, this is THE PLACE! Our wedding day was nothing short of perfect, relaxing, and organized. We were able to completely enjoy every moment the day of the wedding, and the weeks leading up to it because of the amazing work that the Church’s put in.

★★★★★ — Alexis, Oct 2024

If you are in search for your dream northern MN venue you have found it. This beautiful property has all the makings for an amazing event. Not only is this property a special find, you are in great hands with its owner, Bre.

★★★★★ — Taylor, Jan 2024

I have been out to Malbay many times as a vendor for weddings. The details of the property are well thought out to get the most of your wedding experience. Breanna is so gracious and kind. She truly wants you to have the best, memorable experience.

Getting married at Malbay Estate

Malbay Estate 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.
