With the purchase of this historic and grand building in the heart of Wadena, Minnesota, a dream was born. The building radiated charm and elegance, from its exquisite woodwork to its distinctive architectural style and grand windows. It was clear that this space needed to be restored—not only to preserve its unique features but to honor its original purpose of connection and bringing people together. Today, that dream is becoming a reality, breathing new life into this fashionable and remarkable building as it transforms into an elegant wedding venue. 

For years, they have worked diligently to revitalize the building, envisioning a venue where people could connect and create lasting memories. Their excitement and vision of what they were creating encouraged them through the challenges of such a significant undertaking. Today, this beautifully restored building seamlessly blends history with modern amenities, offering guests a truly unique and enjoyable experience for their special day—where the charm of the past meets the comforts of the present.

Their goal was to create an environment that exudes both elegance and sophistication while embracing rustic charm. Every design choice reflects this vision, providing the perfect backdrop for unforgettable gatherings. Expansive walls and grand windows invite natural light, enhancing the openness and versatility of the space for a variety of events.

Carol’s creative energy is evident in every detail of the space. Her passion for color and design began in childhood and has since evolved to the creation of fabric backdrops “aka quilts”. With a degree in floriculture and extensive experience as a floral designer, she masterfully blends colors and textures to create a visually stunning atmosphere. Additionally, as a marriage and family therapist, she deeply values the importance of meaningful connections. This has inspired her to create an inviting space where people can celebrate life’s most cherished moments.

With thoughtful attention to detail and commitment to connection, Chuck and Carol Horsager have transformed this historic landmark into a one-of-a-kind elegant wedding venue—where timeless beauty, creativity, and warmth come together to make every event truly special.
