"The Wilderness Wedding Barn is an incredible new venue located in the heart of northern Minnesota. Sue and Jozsef Palavics are the owners of this one of a kind wedding venue. The impressive century old barn sits amongst rows of towering pines. The massive hand-hewn beams, beautiful red weathered siding, and huge barn doors draw you in and create both a beautiful and functional space for your wedding reception. And the barn is not the only space that will WOW you at this venue! Sue and Jozsef have literally thought of everything and have poured so much hard work and intentionality into each and every space that they have created. From the bathrooms and getting ready spaces to the romantic Cathedral in the Pines and floral swing, this venue has everything you could dream of for your perfect Northwoods wedding!"

"I cannot even begin to describe the incredible day we had at our wedding September 7. Everything seemed like it was straight out of a fairytale! Sue, Jozsef, and their staff went out of their way to ensure everything would be absolutely perfect. They helped out in so many unexpected ways it was an incredible experience from start to finish. I cannot believe we were lucky enough to be able to find an opening to book this venue! From the rehearsal the night before to the wedding the next day, everything was perfect beyond words. My guests could not stop commenting on the beautiful venue and many friends came up to me today to comment on how wonderful talking with Sue and Jozsef was! I still cannot believe how amazing every single detail was. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! ~Jesi Scholer, 2019

"There is always that one wedding that people will always remember throughout their lifetime of weddings, this one here blows all the weddings that I have been to out of the water! Absolutely amazing place! Sue has made this place where it will make your photos SO much more memorable. Sues talent is beyond I have ever seen.
Sue, Jozsef, and her staff went above and beyond making this special day amazing! Being the mother of the groom I can’t tell you how much I appreciate everything Sue and her crew had done for us.
I give this venue, Sue and her crew a VERY STRONG 5 star rating!
Thanks again for everything Sue! 😊❤️"  ~Sherri Ann Vrendenburg, 2019

"Wilderness Wedding Barn you have outdone yourselves to create an incredibly romantic and intimate space for couples to be wed. I have so many things to say about your special place...Stepping into the Cathedral in the Pines, I was overwhelmed with the quiet whisper of the tall pines as a gentle breeze kissed my skin.. The intimacy overwhelmed my soul. There was a quiet hush that filled every ounce of my spirit with a sense of holiness. My mind immediately transferred to something surreal; an awareness of the momentous event that was about to take place. To share your first kiss as Mr. and Mrs. surrounded on all sides by family, friends and tall pines, under a beautiful chandelier...you cannot find a more fairy-tale beginning than this! ~Sandra Wicklund - Wicklund Productions, 2019

"I cannot say enough about how fabulous Sue and Jozsef were and how stunning this place is. Our wedding day was beyond perfect and we owe a lot of that to them! I undoubtedly would recommend this place a million times over. We booked this place without even seeing it in person, and so should you! You won't regret your decision, I promise!"  ~Mandi Toegel,  2019

"First of all, can we talk about THAT VENUE -Wilderness Wedding Barn, owned by Sue and Jozsef Palavics.

The number of people who told me it was the most beautiful venue they've ever been to was astounding and I hope sue and Jozsef heard it as often as I did. Not only is the venue breathtaking, but Sue and Jozsef are the kindest, biggest hearted people you will ever meet. They would give you the shirt off their back, and bend over backwards for anyone in need. Sue has such an eye for detail and decor, she did everything for my wedding based off my very vague ideas (oops 😅). Everything you saw in person or picture and thought “wow that’s beautiful,” we have Sue to thank for that ❤️" ~Alex Beach, 2019

Not only are the barn & property breathtakingly beautiful, but Sue & her husband have thought through everything it takes to make a perfect venue. I planned my reception from North Carolina but Sue made sure I didn’t miss a beat. She was so helpful in answering all my questions and making sure I had everything I needed. Everything about our day was made perfect & stress free because of our decision to use this venue. I couldn’t have imagined it any better! I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a venue in northern MN." ~Brooke Stroot, 2019
