JJ Hill Library Wedding

The James J Hill Library on Rice Park is a magnificent building with an unbeatable interior. In 2019, the library was closed to the public and has been resold, hopefully to open again as an event space.

Below are some of my favorite images from weddings at the JJ Hill Library, as well as some ideas for wedding venues that are similar to the JJ Hill library.

By the end of the wedding we had friends asking for her info and complimenting her left and right.…
