The Little Log House Pioneer Village was such a great facility to work with for our wedding in April 2020. Even through COVID-19, this place was incredible! They were so flexible and quick to communicate. They were willing to do whatever they had to do to help us meet our expectations for our wedding day even if that changed every week leading up to the wedding day. The facility is absolutely beautiful on both the inside and outside. Our families still talk about what a beautiful and unique place it was. We would not have wanted to get married at any other facility, especially during the stressful and unexpected time of a pandemic.

This venue is the fairytale of your dreams! Very professional and easy to work with. The garden was perfect for our fairytale theme. The garden is EXQUISITE! There were even butterflies floating around during the ceremony!! They have the most perfect bridal and groom suites to get ready in and trust me, you will be thankful they have a temperature controlled reception hall! We recieved raving reviews from all of our guests! The pictures turned out amazing and we were even lucky enough to get some shots with a double rainbow! Our wedding was more magical than I could have ever hoped for, and if you choose Little Log House Pioneer Village you will not be disappointed!!

Little Log House was absolutely perfect! If you are looking for a one stop shop for a lot of your wedding needs, this is the place. The staff was so accommodating and friendly, the grounds are stunning, and the location in Hastings was great for a wedding close to the cities. With all this in mind, we thought this venue would be way out of our budget but that wasnt the case. This is a very reasonably priced venue for the twin cities for whats all included. We had last minutes changes that they were extremely accommodating with and went over the top to help make our day perfect. We would highly recommend for anyone to consider as a venue option.

The Little Log House was the perfect venue for our wedding and reception last August. We could not have imagined a better or more unique place to host all of our family and friends. Guests continue to comment on the uniqueness of our day because of the venue.The staff at Little Log House is top notch. They help take much of the stress of planning away by communicating proactively, organizing all of your event details clearly and being responsive to any (and all!) questions.The venue itself offered the perfect accommodation for our 275 guest wedding and reception. We utilized Sylvias Garden for the ceremony, which offered a beautiful backdrop of gardens and flowers. The Village Hall is already so beautifully decorated to where we did not need much in terms of floral or décor to complete our desired look. The table layout within the Village Hall offered enough space to navigate around tables, the bar and dance floor even with a large group. The list of recommended vendors provided by the Little Log House was very helpful and using those vendors took a lot of extra coordination off our hands.Thank you Little Log House and team for helping to make our day so special and memorable. Others considering this venue for your wedding or other special event will NOT be disappointed!

We got married at Little Log House last June and it was more than we could have ever asked for! Angie and the team were extremely helpful and flexible; they helped make our day perfect. This venue is unique and special; it was exactly what we wanted. We still have people telling us how beautiful the wedding was and how much fun they had at Little Log House. If you choose this venue for your wedding, you will not be disappointed!

We loved our wedding at the Little Log House Pioneer Village! Angie & the staff were wonderful. We wanted to celebrate our big day in a place with a lot of character built in, and were excited to share the story of the Village with our family and friends. The church was a perfect setting for our quaint ceremony, and the reception hall was spaciously suited for our party to enjoy a taco bar and hit the dance floor without bumping elbows. At the end of October, we lucked out with some amazing fall colors even though it cooled off a bit too much for the yard games we had in mind. Our one regret was not planning in more time for pictures with the awesome scenery and lighted signs at the end of the night. LLH was one of the best choices we made around our wedding day, and we would highly recommend this venue!

If youve never visited the Little Log House Pioneer Village and attended the annual show, you MUST go! Dont think twice, just get in the car, ride a bike, drive a buggy, or even drive your tractor and just GO! Seriously though, this has been a fun event for several years for our family. We have enjoyed the parade, the history, the food, the flea market....and all for TEN DOLLARS! Yup, even my big kid loves to hang with his parents at the Pioneer Village. Maybe this year we will up our game and stay for the Truck & Tractor pull. Cant get much better for a full days fun in the sun!

Little log house was absolutely perfect for our big day. We got married on 12/31/2019 and it was the best NYE party ever. They are all so hands on and there even a majority of the night goes smoothly for you. We ended up using the stable for the ceremony as well, and I put candles all the way down the aisle that were lit up. We got married by the fireplace under the chandelier and had a beautiful flower arrangement made for on top of the fireplace in there that we then transferred to behind us for the reception as we sat under the chandelier in there as well. So many special touches, and again they were so accommodating for us. I bought all my own linens, chargers, centerpieces, and signage for the venue so they let us come in two days prior to get it all set up even. You can take your engagement photos on site if you are getting married here! Also, wedding day photos are amazing!!! So many fun places to take photos on site. Truly looks like a little town. Being from Cottage Grove it was cool to see the drive-in sign there and they even put our names up on it with a congratulatory message! Everything was so so special and was amazing partying into the new year with our closest family and friends.We had about 200 people very comfortably in the stable and reception hall with no issues. They were flexible with booze, have many caterers to choose from, and no requirement on who to use otherwise (florist, dj, lighting, etc.) I wish we could relive the day again. Thanks so much to all the girls at LLH for our absolutely amazing day and making it so special for us.

Little Log House was such an incredible, perfect venue for our big day! This is an affordable venue especially for what’s included in the price! We used the bridal suites, church, and reception hall, and many outside locations for photos. This place has it all! Our big thing was finding a venue where we can have the ceremony and reception at the same place. There were so many amazing locations for pictures we didn’t even get to utilize them all! It rained on our day and we found multiple covered spots outside and the reception hall is so beautiful we took photos inside too!Every part of our day was perfect thanks to this amazing team! They answered all my questions super quick and made our big day such a breeze. They are so flexible and genuinely want all their couples to have an amazing day. There’s also no hidden costs and unnecessary fees like you see with many other venues. We also had SOOOO many compliments on the venue, people on social media we didn’t even know were reaching our after seeing our photos. Everyone kept asking how we found such a beautiful and unique venue for our wedding. I can’t imagine having our special day anywhere else, Little Log House and the team were incredible to work with! Our photos turned out amazing because of how beautiful the entire grounds are, inside and outside. I hope to attend a wedding here in the future, we want any excuse to come back to this amazing place!

WE LOVE THIS VENUE…where do you even begin!? I stumbled upon this hidden gem doing a Google search for a rustic barn wedding…and I’m so glad I did! I knew as soon as we drove onto the property, I wanted to book this venue. This was the first and only wedding venue we toured! My husband was so wrong when he thought we were going to tour a farmer’s junkyard! This is so much more then just a wedding venue. However, this is a place you absolutely need to see, there is no way to describe this place and do it justice! Everything from the location, grounds and buildings are immaculate! You would not even need a ton of décor as the venue by itself is beautiful! You and your guest literally get the entire village for the day! Angie and Jessie have been an incredible help every step of the way (along with the entire LLHPV staff). They are so flexible and truly go above and beyond what you would expect. They were there to answer any question and put any concern you may have at ease! Planning a wedding during a pandemic added an extra level of wedding stress, but they were right there to help ease any concerns that I had. We had our wedding in their new stable, which is straight out of a magazine…and air conditioned! There are endless opportunities for the perfect photos at this venue, making it a photographer’s dream! We loved that everything from the rooms to get ready to the reception hall were at one location. All our guests and wedding party raved about how beautiful, fun, and unique this wedding venue is…even the teenage boys! This venue has so much to offer for guests of any age! I would 100% recommend this wedding venue to anyone looking to have their dream wedding. I hope to come back to LLHPV again in the future as a guest!

100% recommend. It was worth every single penny. Angie and Tiffany were amazing to work with, I sent tons of e-mails with questions along the way and they were promptly answered. From the tour to the set up and everything in between it was hands down the most easy going process. Our wedding was an absolute dream, the venue is completely unique and we got nothing but positive compliments from our guests.

Review №21

This place is so much fun to visit! The flower garden is amazing - just so beautiful and so calming to walk through. Walking through the old time village is so fun and really teaches you about the history of the pioneer days. Also have to love the replica Wild West shootout and the daily tractor parades. During the show days there’s tons of great options for food and a flea market - you’ll never know what you’ll find (and I’ve found some amazing finds). I’ve been attending the show for years and try to never miss it. Once you attend you can’t wait to go back!

This is a must see place close to the twin cities. They have fun for all ages and you won’t be disappointed. Fabulous location for a wedding (we were married there 3 years ago). The threshing show has so many interesting displays. Gardens are beautiful. Absolutely must make it a point to see this place.

Review №23

The little log house pioneer village is such an awesome experience. If you have never been there I highly recommend going this weekend to check it out. So much to do and see. The garden is gorgeous and peaceful. The tractors and parade are fun to see. Take a walk or ride the people mover to all the awesome vendors and buildings filled with unique items. I’m sure you will find something that peaks your interest. Stop in to watch how the sawmill is run. Take a break at any of the fantastic food places with such a selection of great food. The vendors as well as everyone else are so kind. There is something for everyone, and you could take all weekend to see it all. We go every year and there is always something new! Trust me you won’t be disappointed! So if you want to go have some good old fashioned fun, go check it out!

This is a super cool event for all ages. Its fun to go back in time while checking out all the old replica buildings, bridges and equipment. There is a beautiful flower garden there as well. Its located in Hastings, and Im telling you its totally worth the drive. Everyone who works the event is very friendly, we even met the owner last year. He welcomed us to his farm. This is also a great venue for a wedding. My cousin was married there and its a beautiful set up. Check it out!

My husband and I got married here in 2013. To this day (almost exactly six years ago) we still get people telling us it was the best wedding they’d ever been to. I love how we could pick our own vendors but we’re given suggestions. Made it much easier to stay in budget.We now try to take our kids here every year for the antique power show. They love it and we love seeing where we got married again.

The Little Log House Pioneer Village was the perfect place for a wedding. Not only was it appealing to my husband and I, but I cant even tell you how many guests came up to us to tell us how awesome and unique the venue was! We couldnt agree more. With so many places to take photos and roam around, you are sure that your wedding will not be like any other! Everyone was so helpful throughout our planning process and even throughout our day, that it allowed things to run smooth and as planned. What a great day we had and we owe a lot to our venue; The Little Log House.

This venue was absolutely amazing. The only reason I am giving this place 3 stars is because I noticed a security guard taking photos of license plates and cars. Later in the evening I Was able to talk to him and he said he had a friend on the Hastings police dept. I would be very careful about attending this place with that security guard present as he may be setting people up to get pulled over

The Little Log House is a place that the whole family can enjoy! My family and I have been going for about 13 years to the tractor show, and we will continue to go as our family grows larger.Its also a great place for weddings, but my favorite is all the gorgeous sights and spots for senior and family pictures. My sister and I both got our senior pictures taken here, and all our friends and family adored the unique sights and backgrounds.

We come here for the Little Log House Antique Power Show almost every year. Ya a fun day for both kids and adults. We love checking out the old buildings and watching the tractor parade. You get a lot of nostalgia in one place. There’s not a lot of shade on a hot day, so keep that in mind.

Visiting the Little Log House each Summer is a family tradition of ours! We all have a great time! My husband & I have both lived in Hastings our entire lives, so we love sharing with our childen our towns History with all the replicas. Their favorite is always walking through the replica little buildings; especially the Jail & Train Depot. Theres so much beauty out there from the gardens to the replica Spiral Bridge.

Not only was it absolutely breath taking from the garden to the reception hall but the staff truly made it such an enjoyable experience. From the beginning they went above and beyond to always make us feel at ease and accommodate all of our requests. The venue has so much to offer in just one location!

This venue is absolutely beautiful. I was a photographer for a wedding and I wish I would have had more time to spend for personal shots. I think the concept and work put into this is absolutely great and inspiring. I just wish there were ways to enter the venue for personal shooting, not having to pay a hefty fee other than one weekend a year - that is open publicly or for an event Im working. Other than that I love it here

Our wedding was last Saturday and the Little Log House Pioneer Village is truly a magical destination in beautiful Hastings, Minnesota. We chose to get married in the church, an intimate ceremony for our 150 guests. Jessie provided excellent guidance to our officiant and ushers during our rehearsal. On the wedding day, it was raining before our guests arrived, and our photographer took amazing shots of our first look inside the church. Angie was very accomodating, and our dog Monty was able to attend for wedding pictures, and walk down the aisle as our ring bearer. The rain cleared up and we have amazing photos of the bridesmaids in the colorful, perfectly kept gardens, and the groomsmen with the old police and train cars. Your guests will enjoy exploring the grounds and discovering lots of fun photo opportunities. The Village Hall renovations will take your breath away. The white walls and “LET’S DANCE” sign show the venue is meant for your wedding, and the antique detailing from the edison lights to the metal windmill compliment the theme throughout the village. A special shout out to the bartender Kelly, who lit our candles for us while the ceremony took place. We love the Little Log House Pioneer Village. Choose this destination for your wedding with the confidence that your guests will be delighted you gave them the opportunity to experience and explore a new place they will remember!
