From the reviews
Mike was wonderful to work with, very responsive and you could tell he was just as (if not more) excited about going over all the details of the wedding day! Our day had some last minute hiccups (rain) and we needed to change plans last minute and be at the venue earlier than expected.
Very nicely decorated insy and out for a wedding. Very reasonable pricing! I would definitely recommend!
Our daughter's wedding reception was recently held at the Monterey Ballroom near Owatonna. Since she was living in AZ the challenge was to coordinate an event and involve venue, parents, and engaged couple.
We had my son's wedding receiption at the Monterey Ballroom. Everything was wonderful. The facility is beautiful and one of a kind. The food was excellent. The whole evening was truly majical. It really was one of the best days of my life. I really like the layout of the ballroom because everything was is in one place.
Getting married at Monterey Ballroom
Monterey Ballroom 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.
