Finding Glenhaven
1595 220th Street E, Farmington, MN 55024. We're on Highway 50 between Farmington and Hampton, MN.
The corn fields around us can hide the venue from the road, so as you get close, keep an eye out for our monument sign and signal early — everyone drives fast on this stretch.
There's free onsite parking. If you're not completely able to drive home safely, leave your car at the venue overnight until noon the next day and catch a ride — just don't leave valuables inside. We won't watch it, but we won't tow it away either.
Gifts, cards & your table
As you come into the lobby, look for the seating chart — most (though not all) hosts display one so you can find your table before heading in. The cards-and-gifts table is just inside the ballroom, on your left.
Wondering how much to give? The couple would far rather see you than your money — but weddings are expensive, and hosts often invest roughly $125–$200 per guest on the reception, so if you're able, consider covering your seat.
The garden ceremony & getting around
Most ceremonies are held in our wedding garden, so think about shoes that work on grass — and whether you can happily stand in heels for a while (a backup pair never hurts).
The building is fully accessible, with ramps, accessible restrooms, and an elevator to the lower level. The garden is a flat, grassy lawn — about as accessible as Mother Nature makes a lawn.
It's roughly 100 feet from the main building to the garden. If that's a stretch, we have a golf cart and are glad to give you a ride.
Good to know.
Decorations to leave at home
For everyone's safety and the building, we can't allow items that leave marks, cause damage, or get stuck: balloons of any kind, tape, command strips, screws, smoke bombs, confetti, stickers, and actual (open-flame) candles.
Bring comfortable shoes
Ceremonies are usually on the garden lawn, so pack shoes that work on grass. And after a few hours of dancing, heels can be torture — consider a second, comfier pair so you're not stuck barefoot all night.
Why was it done this way?
Every detail — ceremony and dinner timing, when the bar opens, the menu, linens, seating, announcements, and closing time — is planned in advance with your host. They're our customer, so we run the day exactly the way they've asked us to.
Nearby hotels.
Your host may have set up a room block — check with them first. Otherwise, pick a hotel close to the venue rather than near the airport, so it's a short, safe ride back after the party.
