People ask us all the time what we do with our kids when we are prepping for weddings … I think these sum it up perfectly 😆
Our kids tag right along with us or some might even say, hang in there 🤭
Thanks Studio Twelve:52 for snapping these! ❤️
Recently engaged?! Or maybe you just haven't found the one yet... venue that is 😉
We hope you'll take a peek at our countryside venue! Just minutes from Mankato and less than 2 hours from the Cities, our venue has a great location and is full of historical and modern charm to make your big day unforgettable!

✨It's hard to believe this photo was captured almost TWO years ago! Where has the time gone!? ✨
This is our little family before baby Wren joined us! This is my crew who has been the driving force behind what we do and the ones who have helped with endless hours behind the scenes! 💖
I dream someday our little guys and girl will get married here and look back with the fondest of memories of our family enjoying the farm and venue life!

Walking into the future together 🖤
There are always wedding jitters before the I DO’s and after, the BEST, most AMAZING feeling in the entire world!! 💕

Happy Friday!! Some of you might wonder what we do all winter here. We have a little recovery time and lots of cleaning and planning! ✨ Now that it is late January, I am able to slowly start seeds for our wonderful cut flower garden! 🌸 Today I started our first round.. 300 Lisianthus!! They are one of my favorite flowers!!! They are absolutely beautiful and look like roses, but no thorns!  I hope you’ll come visit me and the flowers this summer 🥰 Follow along on our flower farm page: Little Cobb Flower Farm

I still can’t believe the 2022 wedding season is over! While “off season” is in full swing, we are still SO busy!! ….. I have a hard time giving myself a break, but I know it’s needed! I keep telling myself, “I’ll slow down next week”, but there is so much to do! 2023 communications with couples, setting up tours, working on our addition, planning landscaping, social media updates, website updates (SO BEHIND!), ect ect! …… We are so beyond thankful for all the couples, families, guests and other wedding professionals we have gotten to know this year!! It is the people and the love, laughter and joy that makes this the best industry! …. HAPPY THANKSGIVING + thank you all again!🧡

WELCOME! We are so glad you are here! We purchased this amazing property in 2011 and knew instantly that the 100+ year old barn was so special. While it needed LOTS of TLC, we knew it was worth it! For years we have been working on removing hay and lots of “treasures” from the barn! It once was a dairy and was full of production and life and we cannot wait to let is shine again. My husband and I and our three little boys have enjoyed this beautiful space for years and we hope others will get to enjoy it as much as we have.
