Bellagala, an event-planning company based in St. Paul, opened Equestria West at Bavaria Downs in July, joining the company’s Edward Anne Estate venue on the Bavaria Down’s property in Chaska. The one-time horse stable was stripped down to the studs and rebuilt into a 24,000-square-foot event center featuring two ballrooms, private suites, an indoor-outdoor bar, a courtyard, and manicured gardens. The space flaunts vaulted ceilings, herringbone floor tile, floor-to-ceiling stone fireplaces, chandeliers, and a garden fountain. D’Amico Catering is the venue’s exclusive food, beverage, and service provider.
“With … exquisite features at every turn, Equestria West was designed with pure elegance in mind,” says Venue Director Ann Grant in a prepared statement. “From intimate gatherings to grand affairs, the property can be booked to fit myriad events … with effortless sophistication.”
