The American Swedish Institute, founded in 1929, serves as a gathering place for people to share stories and experiences around universal themes of tradition, migration, craft and the arts, all informed by enduring ties to Sweden.
Experience the Magic
Where turrets and stained glass windows stand in contrast to contemporary walls of glass, where porcelain stoves exist alongside geothermal technology; where elegant and traditional early 20th century architecture meets contemporary, Nordic-inspired design – we welcome you to the American Swedish Institute – a magical and unforgettable venue for your wedding.
The Turnblad Mansion
Imagine your wedding toast in the Grand Hall of this fairy-tale castle! Host your guests amidst beautiful mahogany wood carvings, a two story fireplace and beautiful stained glass windows.
The Nelson Cultural Center
The open, fresh design of the Nordic inspired Nelson Cultural Center is the perfect venue for your wedding reception, dinner, and dance. Weather permitting, you can even dance the night away under the stars!
