Tony and Kate Becker - Owners of Pinewood

Pinewood Weddings and Events is a venue located in Cambridge, Minnesota. It makes you feel like you are in the middle of the woods in Colorado when you are actually about an hour outside of the Twin Cities! Read on to hear more about this amazing venue that just recently celebrated its first anniversary!

What about Pinewood would you like to highlight to couples?
Our mission at Pinewood is to be the most thoughtful venue in Minnesota! From the way, we designed the building, to the paths that save the forest, to the way we treat our clients how we want to be treated. Everything is done with thought, heart, and intention! We want Pinewood to be a place you can escape the busy world, enjoy nature, and still hold your event in an upscale, modern building!

How do you help a couple create their perfect wedding?
The building features a clean, minimalistic design. This allows our couples space and freedom to make it their own! We love to see how the design suits each couple so well!

We want to eliminate as much stress as possible for our couples as they plan. We have an online client portal all of our couples have access to. Using our portal, they can click to connect with vendors, view timeline examples, see measurements for decorations, and much more! This saves so much time and energy throughout the planning process.

What are the current trends you've seen with weddings?
This summer we have seen couples host much smaller, more intimate weddings. Of course, this has been mostly out of necessity! With smaller guest counts, our couples have had the flexibility both creatively and financially to add some really fun things onto their receptions that they may not have otherwise been able to do. From cozy rental furniture to photo booths and coffee carts, we are loving all the personal, fun add ons we are seeing!

What other events, besides weddings, does Pinewood host?
Although we host mostly weddings at Pinewood, we also host workshops, corporate events, and parties during the week.

What are some amenities and unique offerings Pinewood has to offer?
We pride ourselves on having no hidden fees. Your rental fee gets you the entire property for the entire day! When amplified music has to be off at 10 pm at Pinewood, we pull out Silent Disco equipment! Our couples dance and sing along with their friends and families as the music is played directly into headphones that each guest wears. It is a unique, incredibly memorable way to end the night! We enjoy 10 wooded acres of land at Pinewood with walking paths, though we are mere miles away from town with access to stores and hotels!
