Outdoor ceremony site w/onsite bad weather backup?

Hello!  I haven't posted on here in aaaaages.  I knew this was the place to ask though!  Thanks in advance for any help.

Does anyone know of any really fabulous outdoor wedding ceremony sites that have an on-site backup in case of bad weather?  

I know of The Woods Chapel in Orono but wasn't sure what else to suggest.  

I know the couple I'm helping also likes the outdoor amphitheater at Carlson Towers but I'm not sure if they have a backup ceremony space.

Thanks!  :-)

    Centennial Lakes Park in Edina has a beautiful ampitheater for outdoor ceremonies and the centrum building as backup, the building can hold up to 120 I think.

    The Washington County Historic Courthouse in Stillwater has both outdoor and indoor options.

    The Woods Chapel is SUPER expensive if you're just having your ceremony there. So if you've got the money, that's def a great option!

    We're having ours at Black Bear Crossings on Lake Como in St. Paul. It's outdoors, but it's on the huge covered promenade, so even if it rains you're covered. :) It's really pretty and comparable in price to the other locations I inquired about.

    The Marsh in Minnetonka also has a very pretty otudoor space with an indoor back up.

    I believe you have to be having your reception at the Carlson Center in order to use the ampitheatre. That was my biggest problem looking for an outdoor ceremony space with an indoor back up, was most places require you to have your reception there as well.

    Good luck!

    Trellis Gardens in Stillwater! It's gorgeous, and there's a tent in the event of bad weather.

    This. It's outside with a really pretty view of the lake, benches are built-in if I remember correctly. It's covered enough that a few sprinkles wouldn't send you inside.

    Elm Creek Chalet. The backup is inside in front of the fireplace. I love it :)

     The benches are included, and are movable so you can have it set up however you want. The sound system and two microphones are also included, and the coordinator has been great to work with. I took some pictures of the venue this summer, they are in my bio. :)
