I act as your guide and advocate, intercepting stress before it reaches you and sweating the small stuff so you don't have to. The result?

We absolutely loved having our reception at Grand Ely Lodge. It is a great venue, the staff are all super easy to work with, and you can't beat the sunset views over Shagawa Lake! ...
Kristi was really easy to work with, letting us know exactly what she needed and by what date, and making it a very stress-less planning process (despite us planning our wedding from afar). We would highly recommend them to anyone!
