The Chapel In Minnesota That’s Located In The Most Unforgettable Setting

Minnesota is home to some gorgeous churches with amazing history. These are amazing places to attend religious services or wedding ceremonies. There are simply too many to list them all, so today we’re going to focus on just one of the most amazing places in Minnesota to get married. This little chapel is located in a breathtaking setting that visitors do not soon forget.

The Woods Chapel in Orono, Minnesota specializes in creating beautiful settings for weddings and events.

There are actually two chapels located in thick woods in this little town situated on the northern shores of Lake Minnetonka.

Each of the chapels offers up its own drama. Inside, exposed beams and simple fixtures make this a gorgeous spot for a rustic dream wedding.

But it's the outdoor chapel that is the real showstopper. Terraced pews overlook a raised platform. All of it is surrounded by thick foliage.

The bride can choose to walk down a winding path through a lush garden.

When she arrives at the platform, a calm pond reflects light and trees behind it.

A gentle fountain trickles in the center of the pond.

There is even a small waterfall and an enchanting footbridge, where many couples have their first look at one another during the ceremony.

Before the event, the wedding party can get ready in the gorgeous Bridal Cottage.

This 1,000-square-foot cottage has special rooms for brides and grooms. There is even extra space for close friends and family to wait for the even to begin.

The Woods Chapel can even host gorgeous weddings and events year-round - that includes winter weddings.

This stunning chapel is straight out of a fairy tale. It's perfect for those who want a storybook wedding.

The Woods Chapel is located at 525 Leaf Street in Orono, Minnesota. Have you ever experienced this unforgettable place yourself? Let us know what you thought!
