Updated Oct 14, 202412 Wedding Venues in North Dakota That Bring the Wow Factor
Industrial warehouses, art museums and farmsteads await.
Whether you opt for the Great Plains in the east or the Badlands in the west, there are plenty of wedding venues in North Dakota to choose from. You might imagine that, in the midwest, you'd only have rustic options—but North Dakota is full of surprises. From art museums and rooftop hotels to country clubs and industrial-style warehouses, there's a little something for everyone.
The first step to finding your dream North Dakota wedding venue is to figure out exactly which kind of setting is calling your name. We've helped you out with that, rounding up a dozen ND wedding venues across the state. But there are a few things to consider before taking the plunge, like the time of year. June, July and August are the balmiest months, while spring and fall are a bit chillier but much more bearable than winter. And make sure to ask the wedding venue about everything from restrictions to rental fees.
Plains Art Museum in Fargo, North Dakota
Of all the wedding venues in Fargo, North Dakota, Plains Art Museum stands out for its historical meets modern style. A former warehouse, it was renovated into a museum featuring Native American and modern art in the '90s. The space now features brick walls, exposed pipes and wooden columns for a clean, industrial look. In true warehouse fashion, it has plenty of room to move, accommodating up to 450 guests to celebrate with you. But it also offers micro-wedding packages for 100 guests or fewer. We love this wedding venue for the urban North Dakotan couple.
