Wedding Venue's FAQ
The Historic Deglman Farm | Minneapolis, MN
Who Do I Talk To About Concerns Regarding The Farm?
Farmer Dave will be your wedding coordinator for all things concerning the farm. I know he just looks like a old farmer (well, he is) but he is also a very good wedding planner. With the experience of hundreds of weddings at the farm he knows what works and what doesn't. He knows how guests move around the property and barn loft. So feel free to use that experience at no extra charge.
Where Does The Ceremony Take Place?
We highly recommend the wedding ceremony and dinner be done outdoors or under a tent leaving the barn loft for socializing and dancing. The transition of the evening's activities is much smoother. Your catering staff can clean up the mess from dinner while you and your guests can move on to the clean barn loft without being in each other's way. You don't have to kick grandma out of her table to make room for a dance floor either.
How Many Guest Can I Have?
The loft area of the barn comfortably accommodates 250 guests. There are plenty of tables, chairs in the barn loft and still have room for dancing.
Outdoor tables and chairs for up to 220 guests are provided. Restrooms and dressing rooms are provided. Tents are not provided. You are responsible for the renting, setup and take down of tents.
What's The Temperature Like?
There is no heat or air conditioning in the barn loft. We open the large hay mow door during summer events to provide good cross ventilation as well as fans provided.
Where Do We Park?
There is plenty of on-site parking in the old cow pasture. Please, no parking on the road. Do not drive on the grass when loading or unloading except in the pasture parking area. Wagons and dollys are provided to move items around the property.
How Many Bars Locations Are On The Property?
There are 2 bars provided. The Hayloft Bar upstairs in the barn and the Cowyard bar outside near the dining area.
