Small wedding ceremony at Forepaugh's in St Paul, MN What if you need a very small wedding site, for perhaps two to fifty guests? A restaurant can be the perfect choice. 

I've chosen the following intimate wedding sites in the Minneapolis and St Paul, MN area for their beauty, class, and their experience hosting small wedding ceremonies and receptions.

Photos, site information, and reviews for: 

  • Forepaugh's Restaurant
  • WA Frost Restaurant

Forepaugh's Restaurant



Forepaugh's Restaurant in St Paul is very used to accommodating small wedding ceremonies and receptions

On the top left is the outdoor, 2nd story porch at Forepaugh's Restaurant, which is perfect for a warm-weather cocktail hour

A small wedding ceremony at Forepaugh's Restaurant is usually set up around the fireplace in this room. Guests are usually standing
If there's no musician, often the Unity Candle is set up here
The musician playing at Forepaugh's Restaurant usually sets up just to the left of the fireplace.  At this wedding, Joel Shapira played guitar.
For a very small wedding (often less than 10 guests) I highly recommend the St Paul mansion/restaurant Forepaugh's, which will rent you a small room for less than $50.  You can have the wedding in the one of their gorgeous little rooms, with the reception to follow.  The price stays low, because even though the food is about $25/person, you're only feeding a few guests.  Also, if you want an outdoor wedding, you have the option of renting next-door Irvine Park from the St Paul Parks department for about $50, and then having the reception afterwards at the restaurant.  Forepaugh's Restaurant in St Paul also allows much larger weddings - groups of 150 can be accommodated on Saturday afternoon until 4:30 pm. 

St Paul, Minnesota,  Call Cathy Gossinger at (651) 224-5606, minimal room charge.  Capacity: 2-150 Guests.


W.A. Restaurant



WA Frost Restaurant in St Paul is one of the classiest places in the Twin Cities, and it has accommodations for small weddings.  WA Frost will rent out a small room for little more than the price of the meals, and the meals are incredible.  WA Frost doesn't have space for much larger than 10-15 guests, but a small, intimate wedding and reception works well here.  Check out the garden patio in the back - it's one of the best outdoor dining spots in the state (wedding ceremonies are occassionally held there, as well.)

St Paul, Minnesota, in the Cathedral Hill district. Room charge is minimal. (651) 224-5715. 2-15 Guests.
