The Gardens of Castle Rock is an outdoor wedding and event venue in Northfield, MN, built on land developed by owner Glenn Switzer, a third-generation landscape designer. The venue offers four distinct ceremony locations, a semi-permanent reception tent, hand-hewn timber structures, hand-split stone fireplaces, and exclusive full-day access from 8 am to midnight with only one event hosted per day. Glenn Switzer has over 30 years of experience in landscape design and construction; the property began hosting weddings in 2012 when a friend's outdoor ceremony was held at the nursery. Located at 26601 Chippendale Avenue, Northfield, MN, within a short drive of the Twin Cities. Couples and coordinators highlight the grounds, modern facilities including paved sidewalks and a contemporary bathroom building, strong LGBTQ support from staff, and consistent communication throughout planning, though some note contract restrictions and unexpected vendor costs.
