The venue's rustic charms provide an ideal setting for weddings, where couples can host their “I dos” to their last dance in one place. Hope Glen Farm began its documented history as the home of William F. McIntosh. The barn was constructed in the late 1800s and was originally a dairy and then a horse barn. John Healy, of Healy Plumbing and Heating Company, bought the property in 1914, who named it Hope Glen Farm. The name is derived from his mother’s maiden name and the home's placement in a glen. The current owners have lived there since 2001 and restored the buildings with immense time, thought, and care. They are enthusiastic about sharing this exquisite property with couples on their big day. Up to 280 guests can be accommodated at Hope Glen Farm. Ceremonies can begin in the picturesque pasture, which is enveloped by vineyards and lush Minnesotan greenery. From here, the cocktail hour may take place on the indoor and outdoor patio before the reception on the outdoor pavilion. It features three open walls that can be closed in case of inclement weather. The festivities may continue in the renovated barn and around the bonfire area. After a day of merriment, the sweethearts can then move to either the Tree House honeymoon suite or the Corn Crib Cottage suite to rest. With amenities like climate control and running water, there are many comforts throughout the property that make it both aesthetic and functional. Hope Glen Farm is unlike any other venue.
