s Frequently Asked Questions
POLICIES & FAQ
Do you have decoration limitations?
• We do not allow confetti, glitter, rice, smoke/fog machines, or fireworks in any of our rented spaces.
• Organic items are allowed to be spread or thrown on the ceremony site but we do not allow anything that does not biodegrade within a short period of time.
• We do not allow candles or glass of any kind to be hung from the ceiling.
• We allow candles but they must be properly contained to minimize fire hazards. This means the flame is not exposed and the wax is not dripping on the table/linens.
• We do not supply ladders or other equipment as we authorize only licensed vendors to put up ceiling décor.
Do you have a wedding planner?
We have a Corporate Group Sales & Events Director that will work with you on setting the date, the contract, and putting the room block together. Our Event Coordinator will assist in planning in terms of menu selection, room set details, timeline, organizing the set up of the room, staffing, bar, etc., as well as provide basic contact information for local vendors, etc. We do not have a wedding planner on site that will be arranging flowers or other decorations, cake delivery or DJ services. Please assign helpers for this, or if you need recommendations for Event Planners, we do have those listed on our vendor list.
Where can we hold our rehearsal dinner?
• Private Space: If you would like a private space for your rehearsal dinner please let us know! We can portion off the ballroom to create a perfectly sized space for the number of guests you will have. There is a venue space rental fee associated with this which is dependent on the size of your group. Minimum of 25 guests. A signed contract and deposit are required for booking.

Please note that we are not able to accommodate beverages brought in by group members.
Can we take home any leftover food/beverage?
MN Health Code laws maintain that we cannot allow any excess food to be brought off the premise of the ballroom. Because we have an on-sale liquor license only, we cannot allow excess beverages to leave the premises.
What is the back-up plan if it rains?
If inclement weather is the case, the ceremony will be held in your reception room. The set up will depend on the number of guests attending, and your personal preference.
Can we have a bonfire?
A campfire is built each summer evening at dusk, weather permitting. Our campfires are open to any and all guests staying at our resort. Enough wood is provided to replenish the fire until 10:00 p.m. Beverages are allowed on the beach, provided they are in plastic or aluminum containers. We ask that you remove any empty plastic bottles, cans, or other garbage. Guests are welcome to take bar drinks to the beach at the main lodge, but should request a plastic cup.

Your wedding package includes a food tasting for two. The food tasting is designed to choose between a couple of items you’d like to offer your guests; we do not allow for full buffet meals at our food tastings.
