Minnesota prides itself as home to 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.

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. We do offer concierge service to coordinate logistics as necessary — including recommendations for ordering in meals, offering yoga or beauty services on-site, scheduling massages or spa services nearby, hiring chef, bartender or services needed during their stay!

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)!
