Outdoor Wedding at the Dakota Lodge in Thompson Park

"We really wanted an outdoor location that would be right onsite for the reception," the bride says of her outdoor wedding at the Dakota Lodge. "Thompson Park included a beautiful, big oak tree that we decided to use as our altar. The lush greenery and nearby pond provided that classic Minnesota look and feel."
