    We were married at Laumeier Sculpture Park in 1999, so when our 25th Silver Anniversary rolled around this year we decided to do it again!! This park has always been a favorite of ours since high school - so to return to the original spot meant so much to us. The staff at Laumeier are just amazing! They were quick with responses to questions and went above and beyond with the planning. We live out of town and they were gracious enough to meet with me when I came to town a few weeks before to walk through everything ahead of time. The day of, the staff did everything possible to accommodate our wishes and be sure other park goers knew that the space was saved for a wedding. We just cannot say enough about this park and venue for weddings. Beautiful setting, easy to access for all the guests and top notch staff - hopefully we will do it again when the Golden Anniversary comes around!! If you’re thinking of holding a wedding here, please do!! It is a magical place and photos after are so much fun!

    Laumeier was a beautiful venue, the open space gave us the opportunity to really make the event area our own. The rotating art gallery made an excellent backdrop to the venue, giving you something other than blank walls without being obtrusive. Sara, the event coordinator, was fantastic to work with, she helped make our ideas reality and had great suggestions.

    I recently had my wedding reception at the Aronson Fine Arts Center and I wouldn't hesitate to work with Laumeier and their event manager, Sara, again. Everything went off without a hitch and Sara and their staff were kind, professional, and easy-going.

    My wife and I cannot recommend Laumeier enough as an ideal wedding venue. We wanted somewhere that granted us the opportunity for an outdoor ceremony in a comfortable, beautiful and stimulating setting, while also having space for an indoor reception with outdoor elements (i.e. patio area, cocktail hour, fresh air mid-reception, etc.). Laumeier is exactly that. With our ceremony in the garden area in the front of the park, our guests enjoyed the shade provided by the trees and the open breeze to boot. They had a blast walking the grounds and admiring the sculptures before and after the ceremony. Being a special place for my now wife during her childhood, it was a true joy bringing things full circle at the park. Reception wise, the Aronson Center was absolutely ideal for our 105 person wedding. With the high ceilings and the huge windows, the space gives a feeling of airy openness, while remining an intimate space to share all of those precious ceremonial moments. The Aronson allowed plenty of personal space for each table as they enjoyed their dinner, drinks, desserts, and conversation, while leaving ample room for the dance floor that was utilized until the very end of the night. The cubby space in the entry way gave us the chance to decorate with many of our personal keepsakes that made the entire environment feel uniquely ours, and Laumeier granted us the autonomy to bring that vision to life as desired. And if the wonder and beauty of the park and Aronson were not enough, the people alone that helped make our wedding possible make this place worth your consideration. Sara Eaton and the folks who make up the rest of the events team are top notch humans. Sara was patient, kind, and clear throughout all communication in each phase of our wedding planning, and was onsite throughout their entire day of. Sara's presence is one that instills a sense of calm and confidence during a process that inevitably comes with nerves and some anxiousness. Marrying my wife would have been a joy anywhere, but I truly do not think the entirety of the day, nor the precious little moments that unfold during such a momentous occasion, would have been the same if not for Laumeier Sculpture Park, The Aronson Center, or Sara Eaton and the rest of the events team. We recommend this place to the absolute fullest extent. -Jimmie and Auri
