About

Located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Panola Valley Gardens is a stunning outdoor wedding venue bursting with lush vibrancy and romantic appeal. The winding cobbled paths of the garden invite guests to walk among the flowers as they approach the courtyard, complete with a fountain and goldfish pond. As event attendees wander, they will be greeted by sights of Greek goddesses, ushering them towards the spacious wedding pavilion. Picturesque from all angles, this garden is a vision to behold.

Facilities and Capacity

Before wedding festivities, wedding parties can take their time getting ready in the on-site dressing room featuring vintage and antique elements throughout. Outside, the garden grounds offer numerous idyllic spots for photos, videos, and more. From a pond to a mature oak tree, an arbor to a waterfall, there are plenty of options for picturesque backdrops. Nestled between attractive garden features, the gazebo may serve as a delightful ceremony area. The conveniently located pavilion offers shelter from the elements and views of the surrounding landscaped courtyard, as well as the countryside beyond. Up to 200 guests can celebrate a beautiful union at a reception held here, lasting until the first signs of dusk’s arrival. Wedding functions typically take place between May and October at this venue.
