The drinks are great and reasonable, the food is excellent, the audience is very supportive of one another and the rotation is more than fair!

They hosted my wedding (I'm the groom) and reception there in May 2017. Keep in mind I write this…read morereview after my honeymoon and I've had a chance to breathe and meditate on my opinions of the place. So, I can approach talking about this place with an even, clear head. 1 - For months we expected to be able to decorate the night before, and at the last minute they scheduled some sort of dinner and our prep-time became the day of, mere hours before the wedding itself. They didn't tell us this until the two days prior. 2 - While both sides of the family were there decorating, one of the owners insisted on touring another group through the venue. I can't say I was very happy with this, nor with them taking photos and video of my family during set up while exploring the place. Nor with their loud conference calls about the upcoming wedding they were planning on throwing. We had to talk loudly over them to direct people in our wedding party to get things done where and when they were supposed to. It was intrusive and infuriating. I thought WE had the building for the day, no one else! 3 - The parking lot is tiny, and the number of spaces were cut in half by in-active construction equipment parked there, outdated (police-posted) "no parking" signs from months previous, and stacks of raw building materials. Yes. Entire PALLETS of wood and stone just taking up space. We missed out on 6-8 parking places in an already small lot. A hand-full of my relatives had to park out in the freaking street! 4 - The marquee was not changed to reflect the event of my wedding (as promised to be part of the package) until 90 minutes before the ceremony itself started. We REALLY could've used that early in the morning while all the relatives from out of state were arriving and looking for the venue itself. I (the groom), the maid of honor AND the bride badgered one of the owners endlessly about this and it was not done until 90 minutes before the ceremony began. But all is not doom and gloom! Now the good stuff! 1 - When it came for meal time the food was positively excellent. (Yes, they cater as well) The servers had the timing between courses (salad to main course to dessert) down to an art, and we were never left waiting for the next bit of bread or water to come out. Those folks deserve special recognition, and the chef along with them! 2 - The building itself is wonderful, clean and certainly well-stocked with staff, seating and lighting. We were never without a breath-taking view of the stage, the enormous windows, and above-average clean state of the place. Their custodial staff must be very dedicated, as I know marines that don't keep such a clean house! (I was raised in a navy household, so I have a critical eye for this sort of thing) Given the age of the place I expected a sort of rustic, musty smell or at least an outdated bathroom or two. Nope! This place was great, scentless, up-to-date and above standard in the area of cleanliness! Gold star there! 3. The pit/dance floor is a nice size, well-maintained and snug to the stage so everyone can be near the DJ or whatever happens to be up on stage. The layout of the room itself is amazing. As it was originally intended for plays and films, the columns are nicely placed and the tables are un-intrusive when it comes time to share that first dance. I could not ask for better. So all in all it was a very mixed experience. Their "amazing venue" trophies line the walls and the place is not without its long list of merits. However, it was not a perfect experience and frankly touring another group through on our special day to keep their bookings up left a seriously bad taste in my mouth. My bride made me promise not to yell at anyone the day of or make any scenes, but it doesn't keep my from voicing my opinions here.

We ordered beef, chicken, Greek salad, mashed potatoes, and Mac and cheese. We had all of our guests coming up to us to tell us how amazing the food was and we agree. Everything was incredible. The crew was amazing to work with and so personable and checked in with us to make sure everything was good and going smoothly. We ordered linens through them which are set up beautifully before the reception. We also ordered all china dishware and water carafes to be set on the tables for our guests which was a great decision. I can't say enough good things about this catering company. If we had to do it again we would order through them over and over. Thank you so much Cannon River catering company for a wonderful experience!

The space is updated, and a number of people mentioned how nicely it was decorated. There is street parking all around, and a couple of lots further down the street. FYI: As with other rental spaces, there is a list of items that you can't use in the space - candles, confetti, etc . . ., but they have it all listed on the website under the FAQs, so you know upfront what you are getting into. Also, you have to clean the space when you are finished using it, not a big deal, just make sure you factor that into the rental time. If I were in need of this kind of space again, I would definitely use this space again.

I bought a new bike there in 2021, and had the absolute best experience. They treated me so well, really nice / good people, and gave me a really great deal on my trade in. I had this service dept install a cam, pipe, air filer, and dyno shortly after I purchased this bike. My bike recently started running rough and had several check engine service codes pop up. This dealer got me in right away to take a look at it. They spent 1 1/2 days on the bike, and ended up updating the aftermarket tune I have in the bike and spent 5 hours on the dyno. My bike runs so good right now, and has a ton of power, it is unreal. They didn't charge me for any of the dyno, and only charged me for the new tire I had put on. Really great company, and just good people there. I will always go to them for service or to purchase any further bikes.

Misleading Service Department, Poor Customer Service/Relations, and Appalling Harley Experience…read more This is a review as an new rider experience at Fairbault Harley-Davidson Dealership: Background: I purchased my first bike privately in January of this year. At purchase, I had a lifelong Harley rider accompany me to ensure the bike was in good condition and ride-worthy. I purchased the bike, and brought it back home. Experience at the store first time: I was able to call in and have a member from service department (John) accept the bike, and discuss what the bike needs. Aside from being new to the motorcycle world, there was an immediate feeling of unsettlement as they told me that the bike needed a 10K mile service, new tires, new battery, all fluids, and the clutch and break lines replaced. This is what was quoted for a bike that is 8 years old, with less than 6k miles, and that has never seen a Minnesota winter. After many calls to the service department, I we talked about why the bike needed all of this work, and still, it felt like something was not right... Against my better judgment, I went on the word of a friend of mine that swore by this dealership's work and service department. The Service Department: I ended up having the service ticket accepted and prepaid for the service near $2,000...They ended up having my bike for over a month, with little to no communication regarding the bike, and the parts ordered for it. I called multiple times, and no one was able to give me any information regarding the bike, nor its status. I ended up finding out that they took my bike off the service a week prior. They apologized, but further questions reviled they had no notes or intentions to call me back... I made an in-person visit to the store to speak with my service rep, but they were unavailable. So I spoke to a service rep named Mike. They were not aware of the bike, but they were surprised to hear about my bike being taken off the schedule. They got my bike onto the table, and yet again, they "found" more stuff that needed replaced after the initial service inspection. I received my back back, and I thought that was the end of my poor experience with Harley Fairbault... Customer Service and Reward Points: Being Military, multiple service department representatives and font desk workers guaranteed 2x points on my whole purchase. Which I had submitted my documents a month in advance. After a month of the service being done, NO points were added. I have called 6 times, speaking with multiple different employees who claim they are sending a note to their boss, and nothing changed. I was recently notified that no 2x points would be added to my account because a "discount" (an actual promotion) that they gave me, which caused the whole bill to be only 1x points. After this long winded review, I am still disappointed and appalled by the service and customer relations of this business. I have heard from many that this dealership does NOT look out for the customer, and is only interested in upselling. It makes sense after my experience. My business, as well as the busienss of 4 other Harley riders (who all had awful experiences with Harley Fairbault) will be taking our combined 6 Harley motorcycles someplace else.
