Ceremony: St. Nicholas Catholic Church — 51 Church St, New Market, MN 55054 Reception: The Gardens of Castle Rock — 26601 Chippendale Ave, Northfield, MN 55057
Although we adore your children, we kindly request no kids at the wedding reception. Thank you for understanding—we look forward to sharing this special day with you!
We’d love to pack the dance floor, but our venue has limited space! If your invitation includes a guest, we can’t wait to meet them. Otherwise, we’re so excited to celebrate with just you!
Our dress code is Formal Garden Party. Think polished but playful—formal or semi-formal attire that’s light, elegant, and perfect for an outdoor celebration. Suits for men, and colorful dresses or elevated garden party attire for women. Please no jeans or casual wear.
Yes! We’d love to see guests in fun colors, patterns, and garden-party vibes. Please avoid wearing white, of course.
The ceremony will be held indoors. Our reception will flow between indoor and outdoor spaces, with a climate-controlled tent to keep everyone comfortable. Since we’ll be celebrating in Minnesota on May 30th—right at the end of spring and heading into summer—the weather should be beautiful, but it can still be unpredictable. We recommend keeping an eye on the forecast as the day approaches.
A shuttle will run between the hotel, the ceremony, and the reception. Ubers and other rideshares are also available in the area. Guests may park at the church for the ceremony, and there is a large parking lot at the reception venue. Please note that overnight parking is not allowed at the reception site, so plan accordingly.
