For engaged couples seeking a venue that offers not just a celebration, but a collection of breathtaking memories, Maidenwood provides the ultimate backdrop.

An Unforgettable Experience: Helicopter Sunset at The Prairie:

Speaking of unforgettable, we recently had the privilege of witnessing a truly extraordinary golden hour moment. One of our incredible couples decided to elevate their celebration – literally! They landed their private helicopter right on The Prairie, just as the sun was dipping below the horizon. Imagine the scene: the whir of the blades fading into the quiet serenity of the evening, the golden light reflecting off the helicopter, and the stunning vista of Lake Pepin stretching out before them. It was a moment of pure magic, a testament to the unique and extraordinary experiences that Maidenwood can offer.
