We are looking for a "rustic" but simple reception venue within a 45 minute drive of St. Paul, MN. We have found many things we like, but we are on a tight budget with a big family, so we need the biggest bang for our buck.
I like the barn/farm wedding feel, but I also like the MN lodge/cabin feel, especially since we were engaged at my family cabin up north. Unfortunately, returning to the scene of the crime near the cabin is not an option.
Does anyone have any ideas? We are looking for August, so while park shelters are possibilities, we are trying to think of our older guests and provide an actual building.
Thank you in advance!
