Rachel’s Top 21 Favorite Local Venues

Being in the wedding industry, I’ve been around the block a time or two and I have created my own lists of favorites when it comes to wedding vendors! As we approach wedding planning season, I’ve been getting asked by brides and grooms what my favorite venues are in and around the Twin Cities so I figured I’d write them all down in one place for you! They are divided by category so you can skip to the type of venue you are interested in! Happy venue searching!
