Most wedding fairs in the Minneapolis and St Paul area take place in January or February, but there’s a great one coming up in March at the Semple Mansion in Minneapolis, MN.

Semple Mansion is relatively new on the scene, as it was just renovated a couple years ago. This wedding ceremony and reception hall is huge and gorgeous, with marble columns and ornate woodwork everywhere you look. Here’s a complete review of Semple Mansion, with pictures, contact information, and rates, and here’s a direct link to their site.

This March 1st and 2nd, 2008 wedding fair will be held from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and is held in conjunction with Minnesota Bride Magazine. There is no admission charged (!), and it should be a fun event. While I like the really huge wedding fairs held in places such as the Minneapolis Convention Center, I love smaller wedding fairs such as this one because they have such a warm, intimate feel. Rather than setting up booths in an auditorium, you’ve got a string quartet playing over here, cake samples over there, etc. It’s a really nice way of getting to know Minnesota wedding vendors, plus, you get to see the interior of the gorgeous Semple Mansion!

The Semple Mansion in Minneapolis is located at 100 West Franklin Avenue, which is just south of I-94, west of 35W, just south of downtown Minneapolis.
