Elopement Goals: Scenic, Simple & Seriously Romantic
There’s something undeniably magical about eloping at Agate Acres—an intimate, nature-soaked weekend nestled just minutes from the majestic shores of Lake Superior. This flower farm on Minnesota’s North Shore feels like your own private love story, written in wildflowers, whispering trees, and the peaceful rhythm of the Knife River.
Here’s why Agate Acres makes the perfect romantic escape for your elopment—and why your honeymoon can begin the moment you say “I do.”
1. A Setting Straight Out of a Romance Novel
Imagine this: the two of you standing beneath an arbor draped in blooms, sunlight dancing through the trees, and vows echoing softly beside a quiet creek. Agate Acres offers ceremony backdrops that feel like scenes from your favorite novel—meadows, forest, gardens, and a historic red barn.
Add in the gentle sound of the Knife River nearby, and it’s poetry come to life.
2. Intimate, Intentional, and Effortless
Their elopement package is designed for couples who crave beauty without the stress. Up to 25 guests, or just the two of you. It includes the ceremony site, florals, officiant, professional photography, and thoughtful touches to keep things simple, personal, and absolutely stunning.
(Plus, you can bring your dog!)
3. Minutes from Lake Superior = Instant Honeymoon Vibes
The best part? You’re less than 10 minutes from the rugged, romantic shoreline of Lake Superior. After your vows, head straight to the water’s edge for a sunset stroll, a lakeside picnic, or a cozy night in a cabin nearby. No airport. No timelines. Just the start of your honeymoon, immediately—full of fresh air, forest trails, and the calming pull of the North Shore.
4. Ceremony Spaces That Fit Your Story
Choose from four distinct ceremony locations—each with its own magic:
A golden field and plenty of open sky
A bridge over the river covered by trees
A lovingly restored barn
A backdrop of aspens
Whatever your style, Agate Acres helps you write a wedding story that fits you perfectly.
5. A Whole Weekend to Make Memories
Eloping at Agate Acres isn’t just a moment—it’s a weekend of connection, adventure, and beauty. There are many sites near by to stay: hotels, cabins, vacation rentals and campsites. Visit the farm stand on Sunday, hike the Superior Hiking Trail, or spend your days exploring the small town of Two Harbors.
It’s the kind of getaway that deepens your bond and slows everything down—in the best way.
6. Owners Who Truly Care
Emily and Kyle are more than just venue hosts—they’re kind, attentive guides who walk you through every step with intention and warmth. From your first email to your final photo, they make sure everything feels calm, authentic, and filled with joy.
In Summary
An elopement at Agate Acres is more than a wedding. It’s a romantic, unplugged weekend in nature. A North Shore escape. A lakeside honeymoon without the layover. And a chance to celebrate your love with intention, beauty, and ease.
So skip the stress. Embrace the breeze. Say “I do” with your feet in the grass and your heart wide open.
Agate Acres is ready when you are.
