Schaar's Bluff Gathering Center

The wedding will be at Schaar's Bluff Gathering Center, in Spring Lake Park Reserve, near Hastings, MN, which is a short 30-45 minute drive from Minneapolis. The park overlooks the mighty Mississippi, and the Gathering Center is sustainably built, drawing its power (when possible) from wind and solar energy and constructed using wood from Dakota County parks.  There is a nice patio, a lovely room indoors, and a firepit outside. We're hoping to help facilitate a carpool or bus between Minneapolis/St. Paul and the park, so stay tuned for more information!This is the Dakota County Parks directions page, and here's a map with directions from downtown Minneapolis.
