Our ceremony and reception are in Northfield, Minnesota not in Minneapolis where Nick and Kristen reside.
Yes! We are having a shuttle pick up from our 3 hotels from 2:00-3:20 before our ceremony starts and will start taking people back to their hotels from 8:00 pm until 11:00 pm! There will be a posted schedule in each hotel on the day of the wedding with pick up times. For more details navigate to the Travel page of our website.
The venue is a beautiful garden with multiple indoor and outdoor areas. The ceremony will be outdoor in a covered lath house and the reception is in an indoor area for dinner but guests can wander around the entire property during the evening. On the property there is multiple areas to go and explore; outdoor lawn games, reception hall, large fireplace, the woods, secret garden paths, outdoor bar, and a wood fire pizza oven for late night snacks. Please dress accordingly (light shall or jacket, heels that won’t sink into the grass, etc)
Since we are getting married in late October, we wanted to have as much light on this beautiful day as possible. The ceremony will begin promptly at 3:30pm, hors d’oeuvres and cocktail hour will begin at 4:00pm and will last until 5:30pm when dinner is served in the reception area. We will also have late night pizzas starting at 9:00pm. You won't be leaving hungry, trust us!
