The Garden Pavilion

As the centerpiece of our reception area, The Gardens Pavilion was designed and hand-built by venue owner and master craftsman, Glenn Switzer. This striking timber-frame structure features a natural stone façade and an expansive paver patio, offering a sophisticated outdoor atmosphere. Equipped with a built-in stone bar and wet sink, it’s the perfect hub for seamless cocktail and beverage service.

“If you’re looking for a Minnesota outside venue, that is NOT a barn, but has the elegance of an event center, this is well worth a visit.” ~Josh C.
