The venue is beautiful and our wedding went off without a hitch, but there were a couple things we were disappointed with. 1. When we went to tour this venue we asked about the price on three separate occasions during our tour and were told it was $3,000. We were thrilled. We went immediately from our tour and signed a contract for $3,000. The next day we received an email stating they were going to charge us $4,500 as the person who toured us had given us the incorrect information. We reached out with numerous calls and emails to try to negotiate as we had already signed a legally binding contract for $3,000. They didn’t work with us at all and went ahead and charged us the $4500 without our consent, and never sent us our original contract. 2. After spending an additional $1500 for the venue. They didn’t let us use the grooms room as it was “too expensive to heat”. So we were forced to pay more for the venue and we didn’t even get to use the whole venue. They put the g... Read moreroomsmen in the blacksmith shop and it wasn’t that warm. The men were forced to change in blacksmith shop, and there were no coverings for the windows. These are just things to keep in mind if you are planning on getting married during the colder months. We were married on 10/23/2020

This venue was perfect beyond our wildest imagination. Not only was the facility team accommodating, communicative, and organized, but the venue itself is even more breathtaking in person. Wide open nature, historic grounds, expansive reception and cocktail hour facilities, combined with gorgeous greenery, wildflowers, and renovated reception space is divine. By far and away the best wedding venue in the Midwest, let alone Minnesota.

We just got married at mayowood stone barn last weekend and could not recommend it more. Melissa was extremely helpful and always so quick to respond. We worked with Adam for catering and he was incredible as well. Both went above and beyond to make the day perfect. Melissa let us come out 3 more times after the tour to calm my OCD about decor. Some family members made comments about the location (we are from the cities) but that was something we loved the whole time because only people who really wanted to be there came. In the end everyone loved that we got a getaway. We got the free trolley through the doubletree and went downtown with our friends after our rehearsal dinner and wedding and everyone had a blast in Rochester! The price of the barn compared to others in the city is incredible and the price we paid for a served dinner with passed apps and an open bar was nearly half of the city prices. We didn’t necessarily want a barn but did want an outdoor ceremony and a garden sty... Read morele wedding. Unlike other barns it was so easy to transform the barn into whatever you wanted being it does have a more fancy European vibe but also can be rustic. The day of the renovations made the barn more beautiful than we had ever seen before and guests were so stunned by the beauty of the venue! The property was perfect for us as we wanted a fancier wedding but loved that we could still be outdoors. Hearing so many people complain about things at their venue makes me so happy we went with Mayowood. They not only met our expectations but exceeded them and I would recommend the barn to anyone!!!

It’s clear just by looking at the venue, that it won’t take much to make your wedding gorgeous! To top it off the service and the food make it even better! Melissa was wonderful for helping get stuff set up and any questions we had. The staff were there the whole time if we needed them. It was just all perfect! Thank you for the perfect wedding!

We LOVED having our wedding at Mayowood Stone Barn! The location and buildings are beautiful in person, and they make for stunning pictures! Our guests kept complimenting the staff, catering, and location over and over--saying it was the most beautiful wedding they'd been to. It was such a relief to have all of the decorating items we could possibly need on site! The staff were very easy to work with, flexible, and reassuring. I would recommend Mayowood to ANYONE planning a Minnesota wedding!

Mayowood Stone Barn was a dream come true. It was incredibly gorgeous and exactly what we wanted. Melissa, our contact, was there whenever we needed her and even took a call off hours to help us with our seating plan. She was there during our rehearsal, suggesting ideas for set up as well as back the next morning at 9am to help with the wedding day set up. Not to mention that the ceremony has to be moved inside last minute due to a storm that rolled through. She had the appropriate people there to help move everything inside and made sure it looked absolutely beautiful. She was so kind and accomadating, even when I was a little stressed because of the last minute rain. If you book your wedding at Mayowood Stone Barn, it will be beautiful. We received so many compliments throughout the night and after. Thanks Melissa for all your work! We truly appreciate you!

The Mayowood Barn was more than we could have imagined. Not only were they very organized and helpful leading up to the wedding day, but they had someone around all day to help answer questions. Letecia, the person in charge was also there to greet us as we left and that meant a lot. If you are looking for a wedding venue your guests will love this is your place.

This venue was absolutely perfect, and the management was very easy to work with. Perfect fit for a rustic elegance feel, so beautiful!

We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful site for our wedding in the middle of a major city. From the ceremony site outside to the unique buildings every place on this property makes you say wow!

The Mayowood Stone Barn is rustic, beautiful, and vintage. Such a great venue for a ceremony and reception!!!!

The Mayowood Stone Barn is a beautiful place! I had a great experience working with them. Be aware that you may talk to multiple different people about planning and set up.

This is a great venue for a wedding. We enjoyed celebrating our wedding there.

The Mayowood Stone Barn was ultimately my dream venue. It had a beautiful atmosphere and we loved that you received access to the whole property making it an amazing day for guests. The boys loved the "animal" room to get ready in. The Bridal room worked well for ladies except for it would be great to have more mirrors! We used the loft for the wedding which was breathtaking and cool enough for a May wedding. The reception area was good except for a few elderly guests having trouble with the floor. With all that being said... be prepared to not be responded to from the venue contact person. This was easily the only reason that I was unsatisfied. For the amount that you pay to book the barn it seems as if you should have unlimited communication for the numerous amount of questions that come up from booking various vendors. (At the barn you must bring in your caterer, alcohol provider, rental items such as linens and dance floor, dj, etc). Occasionally, I would receive an email... Read more back immediately, but there were also times that I actually never heard back. I recommend a day of coordinator if you do book the venue. The coordinators in Rochester are familiar with the venue and luckily are able to answer most of the questions that the barn didn't ever respond too. Overall, we had an amazing venue location and our guests loved it.

I love the look of this venue! I have not yet gotten married, but we have booked Mayowood and are in the middle of wedding planning. The price is fair and they offer a flat rental fee to include a variety of their unique decorations on the wedding day. The place is very unique and full of charm. My only complaint is that my contact person at the barn has been less than responsive up to this point. I've only been able to get a hold of her after contacting her several times, and even then maybe not.
