Where Love Stories Come to Life
OUR STORY
For over 25 years, Paradise Park has been the trusted guide for couples who refuse to settle for ordinary. Nestled in the rolling plains north of Monkey Mountain, just far enough away from Interstate 29 to escape the noise of the traffic, the site has a rich history filled with love, creativity, and generosity.
Owner Roderick Dryden knew this property had a bit of magic lurking inside of it. At the beginning of this story, there was a house, a cornfield, and a forest. With the help of some local friends, Roderick turned the cornfield into a native wildflower garden, installing a fountain and raising a gazebo. He purchased the forest, and started digging out its buried treasure - a 100 year old prairie barn. Now, completely restored, the barn features a goldfish pond, dance floor, and several miniature scenes tucked into its nooks and crannies - all an expression of generosity and appreciation for his guests.
From those humble beginnings, the park has evolved into something truly magical: a place where your wedding day stress melts away and your love story takes center stage.
