Say “I Do” on The Water!

Planning a wedding in Minnesota and dreaming of something truly unforgettable? You could get married in a barn or a garden… but what if your love story took to the water?

At Paradise Charter Cruises & The Minneapolis Queen, we specialize in crafting one-of-a-kind wedding experiences on Lake Minnetonka and the Mississippi River—two of Minnesota’s most scenic and sought-after bodies of water. Whether you’re envisioning an elegant elopement, an intimate ceremony, or a floating reception under the stars, our luxury charter boats provide the perfect venue.

A wedding on a boat isn’t just beautiful—it’s effortless, intimate, and entirely unique.
