Now that the warmer weather is here, it's time to start thinking about spring! Are you also thinking of spring for your wedding day? There is a lot to consider when looking for a wedding venue that fully encompasses the Spring Season. We found the best spring features for your wedding at the Charleston Event Center.

Indoor and Outdoor Locations

The main reason couples choose a spring wedding is the ideal weather. The springtime brings a happy medium between the uncomfortable cold of winter and the blazing heat of the summer (both of which aren't ideal, especially in Minnesota). To get the most out of your spring wedding weather, look for venues in Minnesota, such as The Charleston Event Center, that offers indoor and outdoor space. During the spring months, our gardens are usually at their best! There are plenty of colors and visual interest – both adding to the charm and romance of your day. Our outdoor veranda and lawn will allow guests to enjoy the fresh air and make for stunning photography with the lush landscapes and picturesque backdrops that the springtime provides. When it gets chillier at night, the option of an indoor space, like our ballroom, will allow guests to stay warm and comfortable.

Typically when you decide you want to have a spring wedding, you want to fully capture the springtime ambiance that will make your wedding stand out from the rest of the spring weddings. The Charleston Event Center is a venue that offers space and services that will allow your guests to experience spring, whether that means they feature blooming landscapes, playing games on the back lawn, or dancing under the string lights on the veranda. Once you know that the venue's amenities can perfectly complement the season, you can add springtime decorations and extras that will make your wedding unique. Still, it would help if you had the basics to be a seamless springtime wedding.

 

Rainy Day Back-Up Plans

Even though spring is known for its "perfect" wedding weather, Minnesota's frequent and sporadic rain showers during the spring months can drastically change your big day. Finding Minnesota wedding venues, like the Charleston Event Center, that can easily cater to rainy days will help change rain into a unique aspect of your day instead of a disaster. We always have a "Plan B" for your outdoor ceremony to move your guests indoors.

Better Availability For Wedding Dates

The summer and fall months can be challenging to secure a weekend wedding at the Charleston since those seasons are the quickest to fill up - with couples reserving dates years in advance. However, in spring, you will have a much better selection of dates with often a discount! We currently have a Spring Special for those who book a spring 2023 wedding! If you decide to get married in early spring, there are even some extra benefits! The Charleston has different packages for off-peak times, including the winter months until April, which means you can gain the benefits and put a bit extra money elsewhere.

Whether rain or shine, The Charleston Event Center throws gorgeous springtime weddings. Our blooming gardens, charming dock and pond, and over-hanging trees allow guests to see the beauty of our venue during the season, while our indoor ballroom and mansion parlor help guests stay comfortable in chillier weather. Our staff can move your lawn ceremony onto the ballroom when your wedding is expected to be rained out. Our team works closely with each couple to provide them with all the information they need for the venue as a whole and special season pricing.
