1. About Pinewood

This modern wedding venue is designed from the ground up specifically for weddings and events. It is located in Cambridge, Minnesota, and offers a unique experience—an elegant, upscale interior surrounded by the natural beauty of Minnesota’s northern forests.

The venue’s own description sums it up best: “Here, you can escape to nature while celebrating in an upscale, modern space designed with care.” This guiding philosophy is clear in every detail, from the architectural layout to the natural materials and flexible event spaces.

The venue includes multiple ceremony and reception areas, indoor and outdoor bars, expansive windows, and luxurious bridal and groom suites. The clean white walls and minimal aesthetic make it the perfect blank slate for any wedding style, while the surrounding pines give it a grounded, woodsy charm.

2. Location and Accessibility

Pinewood is just over an hour’s drive from the Twin Cities, making it easily accessible for couples and guests coming from Minneapolis, St. Paul, and surrounding areas. This location is ideal for those looking to get away from the busy city while still remaining within convenient driving distance.

Cambridge, Minnesota offers a peaceful atmosphere, and Pinewood’s secluded 10-acre site enhances the feeling of escape. Guests arrive and immediately feel a sense of calm. Whether you’re planning a large celebration or a more intimate gathering, Pinewood’s location allows you to have a destination-style wedding without leaving the state.

3. What Makes Pinewood Special

This venue is unlike any other in Minnesota. It combines high-end design with the serenity of nature, offering an exceptional wedding experience from start to finish.

Some key features include:

Ten acres of towering pine trees
Modern white architecture with clean lines and large windows
Indoor and outdoor ceremony options
Indoor and outdoor bars
Space for up to 225 guests
Fireplace for cozy fall and winter weddings
On-site suites for the bride, groom, and wedding parties
Vendor-friendly setup with excellent lighting and access

The venue was built specifically for weddings, which means every part of the layout and infrastructure is thoughtfully designed. The result is a smooth, functional space that also feels elegant and inviting.

4. Outdoor Wedding Ceremonies at Pinewood

This outdoor ceremony location is one of the most breathtaking in the state. The ceremony altar is set directly in front of a massive wall of trees, offering a naturally stunning backdrop that requires little additional decoration. The towering trees provide both visual drama and a sense of seclusion that makes your ceremony feel personal and private.

This outdoor space is ideal in every season. In the summer, it’s lush and green. In the fall, the trees take on rich, golden hues. Even in late spring or early winter, the scene remains timeless. The forest provides natural acoustics for vows and music, and the setting sun often filters through the trees during late-afternoon ceremonies, creating beautiful lighting for photos and video.

5. Indoor Ceremony and Reception Space

The indoor ceremony and reception hall is equally impressive. The space is bright, modern, and spacious, with soaring ceilings and massive windows that look out onto the surrounding woods. Inside, the walls are a crisp, neutral white, which allows couples to tailor the look of their wedding however they like.

The reception space includes:

Seating for up to 225 guests
Elegant lighting
Indoor bar
Central fireplace
Dedicated areas for dancing, dining, and lounging

For couples who choose to have their ceremony indoors—due to weather or preference—Pinewood offers a seamless indoor setup that doesn’t sacrifice beauty or atmosphere. The high ceilings and wall-to-wall windows keep the space feeling open and connected to nature even when you’re inside.

6. Bridal and Groom Suites

This venue includes private, well-equipped suites for both the bridal party and the groom’s party. These suites are designed to be functional and photogenic, making them perfect for wedding day preparation and pre-ceremony moments.

The bridal suite features:

Ample natural light
Full-length mirrors and vanities
Comfortable seating
Plenty of room for hair, makeup, and relaxation

The groom’s suite is equally accommodating, offering a comfortable and private space for the groom and his groomsmen to relax, get dressed, and share a drink or a toast before the ceremony.

These getting-ready areas are a great place to capture candid footage and emotional moments, and they’re one of the many reasons Pinewood is a top choice for both couples and videographers.

7. Weddings at Pinewood: Real Stories by Sunset Blue Productions

At Sunset Blue Productions, we have had the privilege of filming several weddings at this venue. Each event has been unique, but they all share one thing in common—the venue consistently delivers a beautiful, seamless experience.

We invite you to view two of our Pinewood wedding films below:

Adam & Dakota | Wedding Film | Pinewood Events

Madison & Paul | Wedding Film

In both cases, Pinewood offered incredible light, atmosphere, and moments of genuine emotion. The forest ceremony, the expansive indoor space, and the natural beauty made every shot cinematic.

Our clients were thrilled not just with the venue but with the way their video and photos turned out. The background of tall pine trees, the clean modern aesthetic, and the flexible space allowed us to tell each love story with clarity, depth, and emotional resonance.

This venue is beautiful year-round. Whether you’re planning a June wedding surrounded by lush greenery or a December ceremony by the fireplace, the location adjusts perfectly to each season.

10. Venue for Photographers and Videographers

Some of the top benefits include:

Massive windows for natural lighting indoors
Clean white walls that reflect light evenly
A dramatic outdoor backdrop for ceremony and portraits
Multiple angles for drone footage
Easy access to every area of the property
