From the reviews

I own Celisia Stanton Photography, and one of my clients held their wedding at Minnehaha Falls. This is the perfect location for any couple looking for a romantic, outdoor, intimate ceremony.

★★★★★ — Celisia, Apr 2024

Without question, Minnehaha Falls is one of my top parks to photograph! I photograph with Jeff Dose Photography and recently captured a wedding here. The variety is spectacular and the entire area is gorgeous. Easy parking and the Pergola provides a lovely setting for a ceremony.

Getting married at Minnehaha Falls Pergola Garden

Minnehaha Falls Pergola Garden comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
