If you’re open to a traditional venue that feels a bit like a backyard, take a look at this Korean-American Fusion at Gardens of Castle Rock ! This venue is really interesting because it has a permanent tent (so you don’t have to get someone else to set one up), as well as several other outdoor ceremony locations. They also have an open catering list, so you can bring in whomever you like!
For an outdoor wedding ceremony at a venue in the city, try Allie and Daniel’s Wedding at Saint Paul College Club. They do in-house catering only, but the venue really does feel just like an elevated home with a beautifully landscaped backyard!
