My husband and I just got married at Granite Springs Lodge this September and it was wonderful. Staff were very accommodating and actually saved us a lot of trouble because just before guests arrived some of our candles did not have batteries and they went above and beyond to add them for us out of their own supply. The GSL entertainment- for our bar were also awesome as well. We received so many complements on the venue and everyone was so helpful. Can't recommend this place enough!

This is such a gorgeous venue. We had our wedding here in July and we got so many compliments and so many people asked us how we found this place (I just did a lot of research!). The wrap around porch on the back was a great spot for pictures (it has a beautiful background) and was amazing for our guests to hang out who didn't want to be on the dance floor! Compared to venues in Sioux Falls this was such an amazing price. The employees were so wonderful to work with not only leading up to the wedding but they were helpful on the day of as well. When I had questions or concerns leading up to the wedding they were responsive and more than fair when working out solutions with us. The bridal party and a few other guests stayed on the property that night and it was so much fun going for a late night swim and having a fire down by the beach. I wish I could re-live my wedding over and over again and I would choose this venue every time!

amily and friends onsite. It was so nice to have our family and friends so close to the venue to be able to be together not just for the wedding but before and after as well. The Event Center was the perfect venue for us because of it's simplicity and big windows looking out over the lake. Kristy and Denice were so responsive and helpful making sure we had everything we needed even with the short notice change of plans due to rainy weather. We got so many compliments from our guest with how beautiful the space was and couldn't imagine a better location to host our wedding!
