Historic indoor venue at 101 Main Street South in downtown Hutchinson, about an hour west of the Twin Cities. Couples can bring their own caterer or food, and the venue keeps a list of local caterers, bartenders, officiants and photographers. The Note is the budget pick for a smaller wedding on a non-Saturday date. A preserved historic church across the street rents through Hutchinson Parks & Rec for $300 if you want a church ceremony before the reception. Event liability insurance may be required.
