Committed to making your event unforgettable
Meet the pinewood team
We wanted to build a venue and team that would allow our clients and their guests to have the most enjoyable experience, while also designing many functional elements into the building for our vendors to make the day as stress free as possible for all.
And as people who love the great outdoors, perhaps our biggest dream of all was to create a modern, upscale venue that connects people to the beauty of nature that we are surrounded by in Minnesota. We’ve poured so much of our hearts into this property and team, and it brings us so much joy to share Pinewood with you! Thank you for being here!
Pinewood was designed by joining aesthetics with functionality.
We started our careers in the wedding industry in 2010 with our photography business which led us to the creation of Pinewood! During our time spent behind the scenes at hundreds of weddings and events through photography, we were dreaming of how we would create a venue and loyal team unlike anything Minnesota has to offer.
