Weddings
Featured in Minnesota Bride and named “one of Minneapolis’s most unique wedding venues” by Lavender Magazine, The Trailhead in Theodore Wirth Park is the perfect spot for your wedding, especially if you and your new life partner love the outdoors! The amazing trails, bridges, and skyline views will make a beautiful backdrop for your photos no matter the season.
Start your celebration in one of our several beautiful outdoor locations for ceremonies – from the narrow pathway lined with tall timber columns along the building’s south side, perfect for a small ceremony, to more private green spaces of the park.
After the ceremony, bring the beauty of the park inside to the celebration. Our reception space, the Great Hall, has Douglas Fir beam structures and ceilings, beautiful custom wood tables, and two entire walls of windows that enhance the natural feel of the venue. There is also a grass lawn adjacent to the outdoor patio, which provides a wonderful area for guests to enjoy outdoor games.
