Juliane James Place
Where weddings in the woods happen well.
Welcome. We're really glad you found us.
Juliane James Place is a wedding venue and vacation rental carved into the middle of the woods in the middle of Minnesota. Weddings are really fun at JJP. And that makes us really happy.
We are proud of being an inclusive, welcoming space with a history of diverse ceremonies. We intentionally sought these 40 acres in 2010 to create a place where folks could come as they were, with their people, and make magic & memories happen.
Most folks who get married at or vacation on the property have dogs or love them dearly. We've even had a cat, named Scuttle, on hand for a wedding.
It's a space guests can't really imagine until they arrive — one they don't want to leave at the end of the night.
We are located in Finlayson, MN, about 100 miles north of the Twin Cities and an hour south of Duluth. Juliane James Place hosts fifteen weddings annually of up to 150 guests, from June to October. Vacation rentals are available all year-long at Airbnb.
We keep things simple at JJP. You can take it where you'd like from there.
We provide the venue basics you need — things like a platform adjacent to the pond & antique pews for your ceremony, hi-top tables & a bar for pond-side cocktails, and wooden dining tables, vintage folding chairs, & a 40’x 60’ event tent for your middle-of-the-woods reception — as well as a bunch of additional inclusions like an on-site planning meeting to make getting married stress-free.
Wedding rentals include two overnights on the property for the couple and up to eight of your nearest and dearests.
