Alternate Site For Weddings at Forepaugh's in St Paul, MN

I've written before about holding wedding ceremonies at Forepaugh's Restaurant in St Paul, but I've never mentioned their OUTDOOR location, which is pretty amazing in warm weather.

Here's the exterior of Forepaugh's - a gorgeous mansion, which is also a great restaurant:


And here's one of the interior rooms, where wedding ceremonies are usually held:


For wedding ceremonies, the furniture is removed, and chairs are lined up in rows.



When the wedding ceremony is held in the room above, the bride usually enters down this staircase to the Processional music, meets her Escort (usually her father), who then escorts her into the room (through those double doors you see here), and then down the aisle to where the ceremony will be held (in front of the fireplace). Again, note the tables and chairs in that room will have been removed, and replaced with rows of chairs.

THIS wedding, however, was held in a different location at the restaurant. The wedding ceremony was held outside, on the port corche. Here's a view from outside the restaurant:


And here's the view from up on that roof, with chairs lined up, and and aisle for the wedding party to walk down:

Nice view, isn't it? A perfect Minnesota wedding ceremony site in warm weather, with a view of the St Paul skyline in the back, and off to the right was a view of St Paul's Irvine Park.

Afterwards, drinks were served for the cocktail hour:


And then the couple, their wedding party, and their guests were seated, and had an amazing meal for their wedding reception. Perfect!
