We have three complimentary shuttles leaving from various locations. Guests are not allowed to drive to the ceremony site. ALL GUESTS MUST RIDE ONE OF THE PROVIDED SHUTTLES TO THE CEREMONY SITE, AS NOTED BELOW (buses will leave shortly after the listed times):
YES -
HOWEVER, ALL GUESTS ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE THE FREE SHUTTLES TO THE OFF-SITE VINEYARD FOR OUR CEREMONY.
While we prefer you use our provided guest transportation for convenience (and safety!), we understand if you have to drive. The Winery has a large surface lot with ample parking available in the back. There are also numerous parking spots on the downtown Cannon Falls streets all around the Winery. (It's a very small town, so no matter where you park - it's all walkable!)
However, ALL guests (regardless of if you're staying at one of our hotels or not!) are required to take the venue's provided shuttles to the off-site private Vineyard where our ceremony will take place. The shuttles to the ceremony will depart the Winery and hotels at the time(s) noted above. Please arrive promptly at the Winery (especially if driving and parking), so as not to delay the start of the ceremony. After the ceremony, they will shuttle you back to the Winery for the reception.
WE HAVE DECIDED TO MAKE OUR WEDDING AN *ADULTS ONLY* EVENT.
Since our venue is a winery and vineyard, we have chosen to keep our wedding celebration limited to *adults only.* Although we love your children, we want all of our wedding guests (especially all of you parents!) to enjoy a night of child-free uninhibited fun! We respectfully request that no children attend. We hope you understand and respect our decision & are able to take the opportunity to let loose and celebrate with us worry-free. (The only exceptions are for our wedding party.)
COCKTAIL ATTIRE or SEMI-FORMAL DRESS
Our ceremony will be taking place in an open-air wooden structure in the Vineyard & our reception will follow indoors at the Winery. Please keep in mind that it will be early October in Minnesota, so the weather can (and probably will!) vary throughout the day. We recommend keeping an eye on the weather as our wedding day approaches so that you’re dressed comfortably and appropriately. You should definitely still bring a light jacket, just in case. We want you all looking and feeling your best!
YES
You don't have to drive at all if you don't want to! We will have free shuttle transportation available for our guests staying at one of the designated hotels listed on our TRAVEL page. Our provided guest transportation will pick you up from your hotel and bring you to the Winery. After the reception, they will also bring you back to your hotel at the end of the night.

This information can be found on our TRAVEL page. Please refer to that when looking for our room block codes and how to make reservations at the various hotels.

IT IS LOCATED IN SOUTHEASTERN MINNESOTA & IS ACCESSIBLE BY CAR (OR PLANE VIA MSP AIRPORT).
It's anywhere from a quick 30-60 minute drive to Cannon Falls from the Twin Cities area, depending on which side you are coming from.
If you're flying in from out of state, it is about a 35-40 minute drive from Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport. We highly recommend getting a rental car for the weekend to make it easier to get around and also to explore everything the beautiful Cannon Falls/Red Wing area has to offer!
PLEASE LET US KNOW WHEN YOU RSVP.
Our amazing caterer can accommodate any and all dietary restrictions. We just kindly ask that you make note of this when you RSVP so that we can communicate your needs to our caterer in advance.
YES!
We know many people have not been to the Cannon Falls area before (even a lot of our Minnesota friends!), so we have put together a wonderful list of local recommendations for food, drinks, points of interest, and activities on our THINGS TO DO page! Definitely be sure to check out some of them while you’re in town!
