About this venue
Bavaria Downs is home to three of the top wedding venues in Minnesota -The Edward Anne Estate, Equestria West, and Woodland Glasshaus. Our venues exude luxury and excellence. Although all three wedding venues offer clients and guests a truly unique and grandeur experience, they are completely different in style and design. With 200 acres of lush, rolling hills beside meadows rich with wildflowers, you will have no idea you are just miles from Minneapolis at any of these spaces. These venues allow our clients to escape the ordinary when hosting weddings, corporate, and social events.

Amazing Experience! Beautiful Venue
When we first walked in this venue, we KNEW that this was the one. We had an outdoor ceremony and even though it rained, it still turned out amazing. The staff was amazing, and the venue was so accommodating. The suites are beautiful and it really made the wedding experience amazing!
Dream Venue, Dream Wedding
Equestria West was the perfect venue for our wedding! Everything is in one place, the venue has so much flexibility and vendor recommendations to make all your wedding day dreams come to reality. The staff is amazing, from planning to day of coordinating, the communication and professionalism was amazing. My husband and I felt like we truly got to enjoy the day, the little and big moments, couldn’t have done that without Brittany and Michael!
Wedding review
This venue is stunning and we loved every minute of having our wedding day there. Not to mention the super cool getting ready rooms they have for the bridesmaids and groomsmen! Importantly, the staff are super experienced with running events and they were wonderful to work with! I wish we had more time to spend being there— they help make your day so magical!
Equestria West Venue - Amazing Wedding Experience!
The Equestria West venue is absolutely stunning and the venue is structured to make for a seamless event - from the ceremony to cocktail hour and reception! The EQW team was incredibly supportive from day one and helped me select and coordinate with all of my vendors. The day-of staff were extremely organized and did the necessary prep to understand my vision so that they could execute it on the day of the wedding without needing any help from me. They truly made the experience top notch. I highly recommend this venue!!!
