Unique Minnesota Wedding Venue: Northern Pacific Center

ALYSSA ASHLEY PHOTOGRAPHY – It’s not everyday you stumble upon a wedding venue quite like Northern Pacific Center. Upon first glance, you might think you’ve taken a wrong turn somewhere, given that you end up at an old train depot. But upon further investigation, you’ll be caught by surprise at all that this Brainerd, Minnesota wedding venue has to offer. Next up on my Minnesota wedding venue tour is the Northern Pacific Center! 

Before we begin exploring the Northern Pacific Center, allow me to introduce myself in case we haven’t met yet! My name is Alyssa, and I am a north-central Minnesota wedding photographer based out of Park Rapids, Minnesota. I specialize in capturing heartfelt moments with a timeless touch, encompassing true-to-life edits and honest storytelling. Click here to find out more about the Alyssa Ashley Photography experience! Enough about me; I’m so excited to share with you the historic gem with a modern twist that is the Northern Pacific Center.

Late last month, I had the opportunity to head down to Brainerd to take in all that the Northern Pacific Center has to offer to share with couples who may still be searching for their perfect wedding venue. Located on 47 acres just 2 hours Northwest of the Twin Cities metro (and a couple blocks from Downtown Brainerd), Northern Pacific Center sits just off the still-functional train tracks.
