County Feel Close To The Twin Cities
Northern Minnesota feel in the metro area Great location and fantastic atmosphere. It’s just off 212 but feels like it’s “up north.” Wonderful summer venue with an accommodating staff.
No Vendor Restrictions – Total Flexibility
The Outpost Center was AMAZING! Planning a wedding during Covid was stressful...but they made it so easy! They were so great and accommodating during these crazy times and we were still able to have a full wedding, no restrictions! I loved that we were able to use any caterer, bring our own alcohol, and work around Covid by using so much indoor and outdoor space. The venue is simply GORGEOUS without doing a thing to it! I loved the bridal loft upstairs and a space for the groomsmen to get ready as well. There were many picturesque places throughout the property, so photos turned out simply amazing! So many wonderful things to say about this place and I would highly recommend to all!
The Perfect Venue For A Fall Wedding
I cannot express how perfect this venue was for our Fall wedding. We loved every bit of this space, from the outdoor ceremony to the indoor reception, we used every space to the max. With the pandemic we still could hold our wedding and space out enough to keep everyone safe. We used the outdoor games and fire pit, as well as the bridal loft to spread out our guest. We had the most beautiful setting for our ceremony and we were even able to cater our own food, our families made all the food. We had a high level of DIY and this was the place to do it. Price was fair and totally worth it. Jesus definitely blessed us every step of the way in our wedding planning, starting at the Outpost :)
