With a dedicated team committed to bringing each couple’s unique vision to life, it is an unforgettable place to say “I do."

A MODERN SPACE ROOTED IN COMFORT

Woodhaven opened in 2021 and has quickly become one of Minnesota’s most sought-after venues for weddings. Set within the grounds of Gopher Hills Golf Course, the venue was intentionally designed with weddings in mind, blending timeless architecture with clean, modern lines, and a layout that flows seamlessly from one celebration moment to the next.

The spacious indoor reception hall can comfortably host up to 350 guests and features tall ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, soft lighting, and a neutral palette ready to be transformed to match each couple’s unique vision. Their covered outdoor deck provides an ideal spot for cocktail hour or golden-hour portraits with expansive views of the golf course and surrounding countryside.

EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE

From the first look to the final dance, Woodhaven is designed to support a smooth, well-paced wedding day. The venue includes two private getting-ready suites, a spacious bathroom and a shared lounge space, giving the wedding party plenty of room to relax, recharge, and enjoy the lead-up to the ceremony.

Over the past five years, Woodhaven has worked to create a curated list of preferred vendors who are familiar with the venue. From exclusive catering and expert coordination to stylish décor and top-tier entertainment, every element is executed by seasoned professionals. Add in Woodhaven’s on-site parking, cocktail bar, and attentive staff - and couples can count on a setting where everything works together effortlessly.

WHY COUPLES LOVE IT

Woodhaven strikes that rare balance between modern elegance and approachable warmth. Couples love the light-filled spaces, the ability to make the venue entirely their own, and the ease of having ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all in one place. The planning experience is just as smooth, thanks to a highly responsive and supportive team that truly cares about making each wedding special.

Since opening, Woodhaven has been honored with back-to-back wins in Minnesota Bride’s “Best Of” Awards and continues to earn glowing reviews from couples who call it “absolutely stunning,” “thoughtfully laid out,” and “beyond what we imagined.”
