Minnesota prides itself as home to various vibrant festivals and the famous Twin Cities, Minneapolis–Saint Paul. These two cities used to co-exist independently before becoming a united metro area in 1872, yet they retain their individual characters and are still governed by two different municipalities. Like these two cities, many couples are bound to join in union through matrimony. With the state’s romantic history, it makes an ideal setting for a wedding ceremony! To be legally married in Minnesota, a marriage license is one of the primary requirements you can obtain on the same day as your appointment. As per US laws, weddings between foreigners and non-citizens are also legally recognized, regardless of immigration status.

Testimonial: “We had a great weekend hosting our wedding here. Christina was helpful and responsive! The views are amazing. We brought everything we thought we would need (and more) with us but the house is pretty stocked with things you would need… We can’t wait to return and enjoy it again (without all the setup, planning and stress of the wedding)!

Testimonial: “…We had selected JJP because it was important to us that we be able to have a handful of our nearest and dearest stay and continue celebrating with us; something we were able to do with a 3 day booking. We used the space for our rehearsal dinner as well, and there is so much space for all of the wedding party to get ready. I had wanted a first look at the alter and we were able to keep the groom away from me until the ceremony. We also didn’t want something cookie-cutter and the space allows one to make it their own and we had such a delightfully weird vibe…” - Google reviewer, Alicia Zobbe-Hogdal

Exclusive host insights for Trip101 readers:
The Guest House is a great spot for the Mother / Father of the Bride / Groom to have as a “landing spot” for the wedding party, extended family, gift opening, etc. to allow for more quality time together and not dispersed awkwardly across hotel rooms.
