This modern glasshouse venue is truly one-of-a-kind. It offers couples a seamless blend of indoor elegance and outdoor ambiance. All of this is tucked beneath a canopy of towering trees. As a wedding photographer, I’m thrilled to offer couples 15% off photography packages at Woodland Glasshaus and other award-winning venues across Minnesota—details below!

The Woodland Glasshaus – Light-Filled, Modern, and Designed for Your Vision

New to the Bavaria Downs venue collection, Woodland Glasshaus is available from May to October. It offers floor-to-ceiling glass walls that bring the forest inside. This gives you all the natural beauty of an outdoor wedding without the unpredictability. Every wall frames the surrounding woods, flooding your day with gorgeous light. It creates a stunning, ethereal atmosphere from morning until night.

It’s a dream setting for modern, romantic weddings that feel effortless, elevated, and unforgettable.

Ceremony Atrium – Say “I Do” Surrounded by Nature and Elegance

A Ceremony Space That Transforms into an Unforgettable Dance Party

Say your vows in the Ceremony Atrium, where sleek black-framed glass walls and natural light set the stage for timeless wedding portraits. It’s peaceful, open, and modern—designed to reflect your personal style, whether minimal and intimate or bold and luxurious.

Later in the evening, the space seamlessly transforms into a glowing dance floor under the stars. Strategic lighting, reflections in the glass, and the surrounding trees create the perfect vibe for celebration and connection late into the night.

Dining Atrium – A Chic Reception Space for Dinner and Connection

From Sunset to Stars, This Venue Shines All Day Long

After the ceremony, guests enjoy cocktail hour in the open-air outdoor lounge—a forest-side patio ideal for mingling and capturing relaxed, candid moments. When it’s time to dine, they’ll move to the Dining Atrium, where contemporary lounge furniture and a beautifully curated design set the stage for an unforgettable dinner.

The seamless event flow ensures your celebration feels smooth and elevated from beginning to end. For photographers, it offers variety and visual storytelling at every turn.

JB’s Beauty Room – Wedding Day Glam Delivered to Your Door

Let’s talk about one of the most exciting additions to your wedding day prep—JB’s Beauty Room, a mobile beauty trailer that brings high-end salon services right to your venue.

Created by beauty professional Jenna Buck, JB’s Beauty Room was born from over a decade of experience in bridal hair and styling. Jenna saw the need for a relaxed, luxurious, and flexible space where brides and their crew could feel pampered. They can also feel comfortable, and camera-ready without the stress of a salon trip.

What JB’s Beauty Room Offers:

• A fully equipped mobile salon delivered to your venue
• Expert hair styling and glam for the bride and wedding party
• A welcoming, relaxing atmosphere with drinks, mirrors, and beauty stations
• Perfect for pre-ceremony photos and keeping everyone stress-free and glowing
