Woodland Glasshaus Grand Opening

Every once in a while, we get the chance to be part of something brand new and this one felt special. Woodland Glasshaus, the newest venue at Bavaria Downs, opened its doors, and we were honored to be the very first to photograph the space.

This isn’t just another venue. Woodland Glasshaus is truly one-of-a-kind in Minnesota. Imagine the elegance of luxury chic design seamlessly blended with the enchanting concept of a glass house. Light pours in, the lines are clean and modern, yet the whole space feels warm and alive, like it was made for celebrating life’s biggest moments.

The grand opening was designed as a French summer picnic, and it could not have been more perfect. The weather was flawless, the food from D’Amico was fresh and vibrant, and the courtyard buzzed with the kind of energy you only get when so many creative people gather together. Apres Event Decor provided the backdrop for the celebration, while Collected & Co and Hana April Inc layered in furniture, florals, and details that transformed the glasshouse into something straight out of a dream. PHOS Events lit the entire evening with just the right glow, and AlphaLit added a playful sign that sparkled and made the whole place feel celebratory.

As guests arrived, UnParalleled Parking made the process seamless, and the sounds of Patty and the Buttons carried through the space, setting the mood with music that felt both timeless and fun. To top it all off, our industry friends Anna Grinets Photography and Voyageur Motion Pictures were there alongside us, capturing the joy and movement of the evening from their own perspectives.

For us, it was an honor to document the very first event at Woodland Glasshaus. The combination of the space, the vendors, and the community coming together felt magical. If the grand opening was any indication, there are going to be countless love stories written within these glass walls, each one just as unforgettable as the setting itself.
