A guide for Wedding Venues in Minneapolis and the greater Metro Area
Mansion Wedding Venues
Gale Mansion in Minneapolis, MN
A beautiful and delicate mansion with many different spaces and light conditions.
The exterior limestone and their entrance are two of my favorite spots, but I also like the space inside with all the woodwork! Their ballroom is spacious and has an exit to the street which is very convenient. All of their spaces are in different floors so the stairs and elevator will be used by your guests a lot. Cocktail hour tends to happen in the Dining Room and spills outside to the yard easily, which is perfect for your guests to roam. The getting ready room, is a gorgeous and bright room with gorgeous design.
Semple Mansion in Minneapolis, MN
Have you ever wanted to be inside a 1920’s movie? That’s what the Semple Mansion feels like! With a wonderful set of different spaces, the mansion can be your magical place. From the start with their regal entrance, a grand foyer, a stunning staircase, and my favorite room: their ballroom. Renaissance style meets Minneapolis!
Van Dusen Mansion in Minneapolis
A mansion that looks and feels like a castle! the Van Dusen Mansion is an incredible venue with booth indoor and outdoor spaces!
American Swedish Institute in Minneapolis
The American Swedish Institute is a fairytale like place with intricate details and magnificent spaces. It has been my favorite as far as Minneapolis Mansions go! The Historic Turnblad Mansion is incredible and the Contemporary Nelson Cultural Center is also great modern space to have your Big Day!

Hewing Hotel Wedding in Minneapolis, MN
In the middle of the Northloop in Minneapolis and with a ton of character, the Hewing hotel is a historic building that has been perfectly modernized and designed. It is a perfect venue for a small ceremony. This works specially well if you have guests coming out of town and you want to introduce them to one of the most fun areas in Minneapolis.
The rooms are gorgeous so you can get ready in the most beautiful room (and spend the night there too!) and there is a bath tub in the roof. There is a roof that is absolutely perfect for photos!

Theodore Wirth Chalet in Golden Valley *
Cabin vibes in the middle of the city! This rustic fireplace room at Theodore Wirth Park is gorgeous! The nature area surrounding it is also a favorite of mine, as it has many of the vegetation you love to see when going upnorth. The venue is perfect to light with candles and a touch of green, not many decorations are necessary! The wood work and huge windows are a great touch for your ceremony!

Garden Wedding Venues
Como Park and Conservatory
The Como Zoo and Conservatory is one of my favorite places (not only venues) in all of Minnesota because it’s Conservatory is green all year round. The Conservatory is a little tight in space so it works best with smaller ceremonies, but they can also host your ceremony in another of their green rooms, or outside in their beautiful gardens!
