Planning Your Theodore Wirth Chalet Weddings in Minneapolis
Theodore Wirth Regional Park is a gorgeous, wild, and large part of the Minneapolis park system. The 1920’s clubhouse Chalet (now called the Eddie Manderville Chalet) is a gorgeous space for old Minneapolis charm surrounded by established forest and rolling hills. It stands out in the park system, but is also stands out in greater Minneapolis for the charm, privacy, and features of this wedding venue.
Choosing Theodore Wirth Chalet as your wedding venue
When you reserve Theodore Wirth Chalet for a wedding, you have access to several spaces for your wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. From a social hour on the patio as sunsets on Minneapolis to a ceremony in front of a 100 year old stone fireplace, the options allow for many ways you might want to celebrate. The lower level of the Chalet is still a working golf clubhouse, so there are occasional golf carts whizzing by the paths during peak playing times.
Unique within Minneapolis parks as a lovely building
The Minneapolis park system is amazing in its own right, yet it has few building spaces for private events like weddings. The Theodore Wirth Chalet is perhaps the crown jewel of these spaces for its architecture and versatility. For more casual events (and only in warmer months) the park also has a Theodore Wirth Pavilion in a different part of the park or the newer Trailhead building.
Spaces for your photos by Theodore Wirth Chalet
The interior of the Chalet itself has much to recommend it for photos – the exposed beams and old fireplace are lovely. The story of a wedding at the Chalet are really completed with photos that include the surrounding forest – the tall grove of pines, the old established oaks, and even the original stone terrace.
Using Theodore With Chalet at night
In the evening, parks of the park offer views of the Minneapolis skyline. Bringing in some of the sunset or “blue hour” of twilight can be a lovely way to wind down photography. Also, firepits outside mean the possibility of casual gatherings and even s’mores.
Showing off Minneapolis to your guests with a Theodore Wirth Chalet Wedding
I lived in Boston for years, and I’m always looking for ways to show off Minneapolis to out of towners. The Theodore Wirth Chalet is a perfect microcosm for some of the best features of Minneapolis – natural park, right by the heart of the city. Views, older architecture, and ample parking make this a very comfortable place for guests.
