Looking for a place to get married in Fargo – Moorhead? Fargo may seem like a simple area with only a few venue options, but there are plenty of unique wedding venues in Fargo to choose from! From barns to ballrooms, you don’t have to look far to find your perfect venue! Here are eight of my favorite wedding venues in Fargo, ND and surrounding areas.
Sanctuary Event Center is a spacious venue in the heart of Downtown Fargo. They offer a creative solution for a one stop wedding venue. Wedding ceremonies are held upstairs in the breathtaking remodeled sanctuary. After the ceremony, dinner is served downstairs in a cozy intimate atmosphere. While dinner is served, the ceremony site is converted into the dance floor upstairs! Their transition is so seamless, your guests will never see a table being moved!

The Pines now offers two unique locations with The Pines White and The Pines Black! They both have large indoor reception spaces and beautiful getting ready areas as well. The Pines White offers an outdoor ceremony space that is just outside the building, along the tree line! Although both venues are on the same property, they have their own parking lots and are far enough a part for you to never cross paths with the other wedding!

Riverhaven Events Center is located right on the Red River with access to the park and walking bridge. The venue has a large white space and a secondary space that is windows on all three sides. It makes for an amazing backdrop for wedding ceremonies and a seamless transition into the reception space. It is slightly smaller compared to some area venues, but it is an amazing space!

The Avalon Events Center has something for everyone. They offer ballrooms that fit anywhere from an intimate 80 guests, all the way to a full party of over 500 guests! Whether your wedding will be big or small, they have space to fit everyone. The Avalon will give your wedding a high-end ballroom look, while still leaving plenty of room for your own personal touch! The Avalon also gets extra points because it’s one of the wedding venues in Fargo city limits. That makes it that much closer to hotels for your guests.

The Courtyard By Marriott is a great hotel ballroom option for a wedding! Their ballroom looks very high end and they provide some amazing decorations. They also have a bridal sweet that is perfect for getting ready. The biggest bonus of this venue is that your guests can book rooms and stay on site! The ballroom has a separate entrance from the hotel, but they are attached by a hallway. Your celebrate will stay tucked away and private, while providing your guests a good reason to stay until the night is over!

Carlos Creek Winery may not be located in the Fargo area, but it is worth the drive! Once you see Carlos Creek Winery, you won’t think twice about the drive from Fargo, ND. The winery has the perfect outdoor wedding ceremony site under a canopy of tall trees. After enjoying the summer air, your guests can party the night away inside their reception hall. This venue is worth the visit before crossing it off your list!
