Where rustic charm meets modern elegance

Just 30 minutes outside of Minneapolis, Genesis Ranch offers couples and event hosts a stunning destination that seamlessly blends Minnesota's natural beauty with thoughtfully designed event spaces. From scenic outdoor ceremony locations to an elegant open-air pavilion and beautifully restored barn, Genesis Ranch provides a picturesque backdrop for weddings, corporate events, and intimate celebrations alike.

The Pavilion

The heart of Genesis Ranch is its beautiful open-air pavilion, accommodating up to 200 guests. Surrounded by the wooded landscape of Rosemount, the pavilion features striking white wood beams, elegant café lighting, and a grand chandelier that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere from day to night.

A charming faux fireplace serves as the perfect backdrop for the couple's head table, while 24 guest tables comfortably seat eight to ten guests each. As dinner concludes, the pavilion effortlessly transforms into a spacious dance floor where family and friends can celebrate late into the evening beneath the glowing lights.

Ceremony Spaces

Genesis Ranch offers two unique outdoor ceremony locations, each accommodating up to 200 guests.

The signature ceremony site sits atop a scenic hill overlooking the property and features a built-in square arbor, creating a naturally beautiful setting for exchanging vows. A second ceremony location adjacent to the pavilion provides couples with the flexibility to bring their own arbor and personalize the space to match their wedding vision.

The hillside ceremony site offers a particularly intimate experience, tucked away from the activity of the reception while remaining easily accessible. A picturesque staircase provides countless photo opportunities, and the Genesis Ranch team offers golf cart transportation for added convenience.

The Barn

The venue's restored barn perfectly balances rustic character with modern comfort. Home to the venue bar, the barn offers guests a cozy retreat for conversation, cocktails, and late-night snacks.

Featuring whitewashed brick walls, warm lighting, cocktail tables, and updated amenities, the space creates a welcoming atmosphere that feels both timeless and sophisticated. Nearby restrooms are conveniently located while maintaining guest privacy.

Bridal & Groom's Suites

The Bridal Home at Genesis Ranch is a beautifully appointed Airbnb designed to make the couples wedding day as relaxing as it is memorable. Filled with natural light, the bright and spacious bridal suite offers the perfect setting for getting ready with friends and family. Enjoy a fully stocked kitchen, a welcoming living room with comfortable seating for up to 15 guests, oversized mirrors, and a wraparound porch overlooking the beauty of the ranch.

With its own private entrance, the Bunkhouse Groom’s Suite offers a completely different experience. Inspired by the warmth of a classic speakeasy, it features a relaxed lounge atmosphere where the groom and his party can unwind, prepare for the day, and enjoy time together before the ceremony.
