A photographer’s review and guide

Nestled in the quiet countryside of Rush City, Minnesota, Creekside Farm Weddings & Events is one of those places that immediately slows your breath. Fifty acres of rolling hills, mature trees, and the soft sound of rushing water create a setting that feels both grounded and deeply peaceful.

For couples looking for a Minnesota wedding venue that blends rustic charm with modern comfort, Creekside Farm is one of the most heartfelt places to celebrate.

Location & Ambiance

Creekside Farm sits just an hour north of the Minneapolis metro, but it feels worlds away. As you drive in, maple trees arch over the path and open into a park-like clearing where Rush Creek winds through the property.

It’s serene. Spacious. Quiet in the best way.

The kind of place where you can hear the wind moving through the fields and feel fully present in the moment.

From a photography standpoint, this venue is a dream. Every direction you turn, the landscape creates natural depth and emotion.

Ceremony & Reception Spaces

The Historic Barn

The restored barn is the centerpiece of the venue — tall ceilings, exposed beams, soft natural light, and modern amenities like heat and air conditioning. It has room for up to 288 guests without losing the intimate feeling that makes barn weddings so special.

Outdoor Ceremony Spaces

For outdoor weddings, the grounds offer multiple stunning options.

The creekside ceremony site is the standout — a peaceful, romantic setting surrounded by trees and water. It feels like a hidden moment carved out just for you and your people.

Every spot on the property was designed with intention, giving couples endless ways to shape their ceremony and reception to fit their story.

Amenities & Experience

Creekside Farm provides everything you need to keep the day flowing with ease:

Tammy, who runs the venue, is incredible to work with. She has built an event space that feels personal, organized, and welcoming — something you notice instantly when you arrive.

Photography at Creekside Farm

As a wedding photographer, I love this venue for its variety and natural beauty.

You get:

Open fields at golden hour
A creek and bridge for intimate portraits
Mature forests for shaded, soft light
The barn interior for timeless rustic shots
Wide, natural landscapes that feel cinematic

The light here is unreal — bright and clean in the fields, warm and moody by the barn, soft and reflective near the creek. There’s no bad direction to point a camera.

A Personal Story From This Venue

This particular wedding meant a lot to me. I grew up with the groom — watched him navigate life’s good moments and hard ones with optimism and grit. When he met his partner through friends in La Crosse, something just clicked. Even as the military took him from Japan to California, their connection stayed steady.

They chose Creekside Farm for their Minnesota wedding, bringing everyone together in a space that felt peaceful and meaningful.

Watching them celebrate here — surrounded by the sound of Rush Creek, the trees swaying behind their ceremony, and the warmth of their closest people — was one of those days that stays with you.
