About this venue

Enjoy the scenic 6-mile drive from SW Rochester on paved roads to a magical place nestled in the rolling hillsides of southeast Minnesota. We’ve owned and operated our family perennial farm with sprawling gardens which has hosted hundreds of weddings for over 25 years. Our new wedding & events facility is a heated & cooled vintage, European-style carriage house to match our existing civil war era (1858!) brick house. The Carriage House can accommodate 150 guests in the warm months and 100 in the winter. The space flows into the gardens and expansive patio area for additional seating. Now booking for year-round events! We do still have room for a 2024 wedding! Now booking 2025.

Beautiful!

•Nick & H.•May 31, 2023
Our outdoor wedding ceremony was in early September; a gorgeous 70 day! The flowers in the front garden were in full bloom. Vibrant purples, pinks, yellows, greens, white made for ZERO decoration and savings galore! Almost 6 years later, my guests still tell me that my wedding was the most fun and relaxing one they'd ever been to. I'm so thankful for Garten Marketplatz and the relaxing atmosphere. I wouldn't have changed a single thing about my perfect day.
Modern Rustic Charm

•Huckleberry Floral Design•May 17, 2023
What a treasure! I recently delivered and set up florals I created for a wedding. I had never been to the nursery/venue before, and I must say my curiosity was peaked. Wow…this was more magical than I could have imagined! Not only is the property historical, the charms of the buildings and patios were like walking through an English garden. Upon going inside, I was again, enamored with the vibe of this venue! It had a modern rustic charm to it- bright white walls, warm wood features & an antique garden gazebo, among other unique features. It was enchanting to say the least! It is perfect for an intimate event. It has plenty of space for many guest tables, features tables (food, photo) and photo opportunities. The natural light through the windows that look out onto the patio gardens provide a perfect blend of letting the beauty of nature in. The staff was very friendly, helpful & hospitable. I met several of the staff that day and you could tell they loved what they do out at Marketplatz. I am very much looking forward to my next event there.

If you are searching for a Venue that is exquisite, chic and elegant check out Garten Markeplatz Perennial Farms! We were hired by the bride and groom to provide bartending services. This venue is filled with history, floral and landscaping that is beyond beautiful during the day and the evening hours are lit up with an amber lighting that brings the whole mood together. They were so accommodating, not only to the bride and groom but to the vendors that were hired. The owners and staff were all so personable, friendly and very helpful, they definitely went above and beyond for their clients! I hope to celebrate another event there someday!

We provide 150 chairs, additional chairs must be rented from a rental company. Open House Style - Due to our expansive gardens and outdoor spaces, we are capable of hosting larger open house style events during the warm weather months. (For example: food trucks vs sit-down catered meals)

While we are an events center, we are also a garden center. Children must be supervised by an adult at all times. We have a playground and we encourage our clients to have planned activities for kids to do with an adult assisting.

Food products are encouraged to come from a licensed and insured caterer or kitchen to eliminate the Client’s liability of food borne illnesses. Prepackaged food, restaurant food, and grocery store food is included in catered items. If hiring a caterer, they are required to have a valid Certificate of Insurance and Catering License on file with us.

Nope! We have an open catering policy. You select your favorite licensed caterer/kitchen/bar service that fits your budget. OR change it up and hire food trucks! Ask us who we recommend as we've had many great vendors provide amazing service at our venue.

The Carriage House is both heated and cooled. Ample parking is available Spring-Fall. Winter parking may be limited due to snowfall. Shuttles to transport your guests are welcomed and encouraged.
