Shepherd's Hill Farm

Shepherd's Hill Farm is a private countryside venue in Montgomery, Southern Minnesota, offering its restored barn and surrounding grounds for weddings, family gatherings, private parties, non-profit events and business functions. The property combines indoor event space with open lawns, gardens, patios and hilltop views across pastureland and nearby lakes, giving organisers a choice of settings for ceremonies, receptions and informal get-togethers.

The barn can accommodate up to 150 guests, with a lower winter capacity. Its flexible areas can be used for dining, dancing, a buffet or a ceremony, while outdoor lawns and garden spaces provide alternatives for vows, drinks and photographs. The venue supplies tables and chairs, has an equipped kitchen, and includes features such as café lighting, a fire pit and on-site parking. Organisers can work with vendors of their choice, and an on-site manager is included for weddings.

For couples wanting more time together, weekend wedding rentals include use of the barn over several days and overnight accommodation for up to 12 people in beds. Additional sleeping space is available, and the lower level of the farmhouse can also be rented, with bedrooms, a living area, a bathroom and a sauna. The venue is also available for one-day weddings and other gatherings, with arrangements varying by event and season.

The farm’s rural setting offers a relaxed backdrop while remaining within driving distance of the Minneapolis and St Paul area. Its combination of a characterful barn, outdoor ceremony locations and optional overnight stays makes it suitable for organisers seeking a private venue where guests can celebrate at an unhurried pace.
