Timeless Wedding Day at James J. Hill Library

Wedding: May 12, 2018
Ceremony & reception: James J. Hill Library, St. Paul
Honeymoon: Kauai
Sarah Fleming and Cody Foster met in medical school, with a lot of studying happening, so choosing a library for their wedding location seemed appropriate. “We loved that our wedding took place in a library,” Sarah says. “The space was formal, yet welcoming and romantic. When we saw the venue online we knew right away it was exactly what we wanted.” The bookshelves, pillars and high ceilings were already grand, and the florals and greenery made them even more so. And even though it was a library, the couple and their friends got the place rocking. “We absolutely loved having a live band at our wedding,” she says. “It was even more fun than we could have imagined. Dancing the night away with everyone from our grandparents to our closest friends was a blast.”
