Our Wedding Location

Derek grew up in the Lake Minnetonka area and Wei has found herself visiting many times over the years!

The wedding ceremony (Saint Mark’s Episcopal Cathedral) and reception venue (Calhoun Beach Club) closely mirrors Derek’s parent’s special day 33-years ago (The Basilica of Saint Mary – ¼ mile north of Saint Mark’s & Calhoun Beach Club).

TRAVEL

For guests that will be traveling from out of town, there are many flight options to both of the Minneapolis airport terminals:

Terminal 1 is the larger Lindbergh Terminal used by most major airlines

Terminal 2 is the smaller Humphrey Terminal used mainly by Southwest

The airport terminals are very close to one another.  There is us Uber as well as rental cars and other transportation options available at the MSP airport. If you need help coordinating any part of your journey, we will be happy to assist you.
