The Silo was once used for grain for the barn. After we renovated and restored the space, we turned The Silo into a beautiful space where you can get ready with your wedding party, share your private vows before your ceremony begins, or sign your wedding license after you've said 'I do' like Annie and Chris! The circular space is adorned with wine-themed décor and makes for a stunning backdrop for these special moments.

Our Story

Green Acres, an Enchanting Event Center in a Historic Barn is the perfect combination of rustic elegance and charm with modern amenities. Awarded many honors that include “Best of Weddings Hall of Fame for 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019” on The Knot.com - the #1 website tool and trusted authority on all things weddings; the International Live Events Society (ILEA) 2016 Star Awards and the Friends of Minnesota Barns 2012 Barn of the Year for Best Non-Agricultural Adaptive Re-Use; and the What Women Want! 2017! Favorite Venue for a Special Occasion by Minnesota Women’s Press.

Built in 1942, with a Gothic Arch shape roof of ancient timbers and rare yellow glazed tile, this historic barn has been meticulously and lovingly restored. Original materials were used or exposed when and where available to keep the rich history and beauty of its structure. The barn’s authenticity was preserved and complemented with the modern conveniences of heat, air conditioning, new up to date bathrooms, a handicap accessible elevator, Bose surround sound system, AV and theatrical lighting, making Green Acres desirable for events all year round. Previously the Goodrich-Ramus barn, Green Acres is the oldest standing barn in Eden Prairie and an important part of Minnesota history. In 2009, Hennepin County developed construction plans to widen Pioneer trail and considered demolishing the barn but the City of Eden Prairie and the Historical Society stepped in to save it. After reading an article in the Star Tribune about its demise, Steven Schussler, well-known as the creator of the Rainforest Cafe chain of restaurants, was inspired to restore the barn. Green Acres Event Center has three wonderful and spacious entertainments spaces to create your most memorable event amongst the crystal and candlelight chandeliers, an extravagant Italian water fountain, antiques, music, color, lighting and much more.
