The Gardens of Castle Rock

The Gardens of Castle Rock is an outdoor wedding venue in Minnesota built around four ceremony locations, including the Lath House, the Grand Promenade, the Lawn and Wedding in the Woods. Couples book the whole day, followed by a move to a semi-permanent wedding reception tent. The venue also hosts events and classes, and a vineyard is part of the property.

The venue hosts only one event per day, so couples get exclusive access from 8 am to midnight. Tours are booked through the website or by phone at 651-264-9510. The property sits in Northfield, Minnesota, and was owned and run by Glenn Switzer, whose family founded Switzer's Nursery, with the venue opening in 2014.
