Finally, a wedding venue that actually feels like you.

Because a boring wedding was never an option

We are here for both the romantic and the rebel.
For those who want the enchanted forest ceremony and the editorial-style reception space.
For those who want a little less tradition and a lot more character.
For those who refuse boring when they can be bold.
For those who won’t settle for the same Pinterest board as their friends.
 
We deliberately broke away from the rustic barn and conventional ballrooms to build a space that adapts to your vision. Neutral tones, white tin walls, and handmade wood tables act as the ultimate blank canvas.
Tell us your wild wedding idea, and let's make it happen!

But honestly, they say it better than we do

"Honestly, I don't know why anyone would get married anywhere else. The property is beautiful, the atmosphere is perfect, and having the on-site accommodations was a complete game changer. We got to spend the entire weekend celebrating with our favorite people instead of feeling rushed in and out of a venue."

Meet The Owners

When Devon and I got married, we struggled to find a venue that we connected to —a rustic barn or a hotel banquet hall didn't feel authentic to us as a couple. So, a few years later, we built one. 52 North opened in 2019 with one purpose: a space that could adapt to any couple’s style, welcoming everyone to be themselves and make the venue entirely their own.

When a couple says "We have this crazy idea...", we get excited rather than apprehensive. Tell us your fun, quirky, non-traditional wedding ideas — we love those personal touches. At 52, no two weddings have ever looked the same, and that's exactly the point!

So you’ve been invited to a
wedding at 52 North…

We can’t wait to host you!
