one question that went unanswered, and she was constantly in contact with my throughout the year as we planned this wonderful evening. She treated us as if the were always her #1 priority. I cannot thank her, and her team enough. Also a big shout out to Sara and the event staff. They did such an amazing job!! I had no doubts that the room would be set up beautifully, and it was. I am so very thankful that we were lucky enough to have our reception here. From the Bell Station to Lindsay and her team, AMAZING service. Hugs! Jenna & Travis Creel

so simple, flawless and FUN! Lindsay and Brooke were wonderful to work with and we felt like they were our biggest fans the whole time, always so energetic and excited about our big day! During the whole planning period, they made it seem like our day was THE most important event, and everything that came up was handled professionally and quickly. Lindsay and Brooke had wonderful communication, and made sure we felt confident going into our day! Everything from the large details, to the teeny tiny small details, were handled with care, and we knew we were in great hands the whole time! There was a team of people that we were introduced to before the wedding day, which was nice to know all the helping hands going into the event! To us, our day was perfect, and we have heard so many of our guests RAVE about what a perfect venue it was! The food was hot and delicious, the lighting and sound was on point, the servers and staff for the night (and the whole planning process) were friendly and extremely helpful! Our list could go on and on, but truly, we couldn't be happier with our decision to have our reception at Mystic!

emise. Lindsay and Brooke walked us through each step and spelled everything out so well. I heard from many guests that they have never attended such a beautiful reception and the food was actually hot when it was served and that never happens! Jordan was phenomenal with making the lighting the perfect touch on the evening. I could go on and on but I believe the best part was every single person we worked with whether it was the event coordinators to the bartenders to the food servers were so incredibly kind. Always willing to help. I would give Mystic Event Center a definite 5 out of 5 stars! You will NOT be disappointed.

extremely knowledgable and professional. The amenities and stay for nearly 100% out of state/town guest was top notch! They were extremely flexible with us, and hung along with us through every step of the way while we planned every possible outcome of a covid-19 wedding reception and beyond. Besides the beautiful spaces and opportunities, it was extremely important for me to find a venue that would offer a GF/DF/NF menu for myself and many of our guests. This was not a problem whatsoever and they made sure we had something delicious and unique to accommodate all. The only blip was that the wrong potatoes were served versus what we selected at our tasting - not a huge deal! There are so many options in terms of space, decor, set up, menu, and ultimately inclusive price point options. We had so many compliments from our guests who not only loved the reception, but their entire stay at Mystic Lake during Memorial Day Weekend! Schedule a consult, tour, or call with these folks, you won't regret it! :)

otel and reception at the same spot. We worked with Jennifer and she walked us through everything we needed to know and was with us from the first tour to our wedding day. We were originally worried about choosing Mystic since we had a strict budget, but Jennifer was always attentive to our budget and we loved how much food (and that the honeymoon suite) was included in the packages! We were blown away with the service at the complimentary food and drink tasting, and later our guests remarked how professional everyone was at the reception (bringing kids meals when the kids didn’t like the adult option they had, being generous with appetizers and drinks, bringing us appetizers when we didn’t have a chance to eat them, etc.). They even threw in amazing surprises for us and our guests the night of the wedding and truly helped make our day perfect- we would highly recommend booking your wedding with them!!

Picking Mystic Lake Center was the best decision made during wedding planning. First, we received a quick response from Brooke Follen, Wedding Coordinator/Sales Executive, upon submitting our inquiry through The Knot. We live out-of-state, so s...
he gladly FaceTimed us to view the property and discuss the details. We were looking for a venue that could do it all - ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, bar packages, access to a hotel for guests, catering, and vendor access for decor/flowers/etc. Mystic Lake Center checked all of the boxes plus more (casino, golf course, shuttle)! Once we signed on, Brooke stayed highly communicative throughout the process and helped us stay on track with planning. There are many options to choose from and customize, so you can still have a beautiful wedding day within your price range from a budget perspective. Unfortunately, our wedding was postponed due to the pandemic, but the MLC Team helped us lock in a new 2021 date and kept everything as planned during the many months of uncertainty. One of our favorite parts of wedding planning was the food tasting with the in-house chef. Being from out-of-state, we arranged a date for us when we would be in-town and included both sets of parents. It was an exceptional experience to test everything from apps, entrees, and cake options. The month of the wedding, Brooke was on top of finalizing plans and confirming every detail of our wedding day. As for the special day, it could not have gone more perfect. The MLC Team was prepared and so helpful to our additional vendors coming in that day. Our guests enjoyed their hotel accommodations right on the property and raved about the food. As the bride and groom, we were highly impressed with everyone who assisted as this was not a small production. Brooke is an ALL-STAR - she's bubbly, professional, attentive, proactive, and insightful. She truly made the difference in having our wedding day be perfect. If you're looking for a venue that has it all - Mystic Lake Center is a top-tier choice.

us setting up our decorations at 8:00 AM the day of the wedding. The ballroom hadn't been changed over and the staff was just starting to clean up the decor from the party the night prior. They had to wash all linens and re-setup for the reception. We weren't able to do our part of the decorating until around 12:30 PM. This was just a small change to our itinerary and everything worked out just fine! Regardless of the decorating time change, none of this would have been possible without the Catering Sales Executive, Brooke Follen. She was incredible. My emails/questions were answered immediately. Brooke made me feel calm and collected even when I thought things were going downhill. She never panics! She was incredibly knowledgeable and professional. She really made our day extraordinary and I know it wouldn't had been the same if she were not there. I would recommend this venue to anyone! Not only is it beautiful, the food is fantastic and the staff is friendly and helpful. My guests said it was one of the most elegant and fun weddings they had been to in a while.

wedding week wants and needs reality and provided the perfect level of guidance in areas we weren’t sure what we wanted. Honestly, you should never under estimate the value of having a planner who is detail orientated when you are planning your day. You want the best mac and cheese bar of all time, a fajita bar with empanadas, and a kick ass salad bar for dinner? You got it. Ice cream bar for dessert with delicious cake? No problem. You want the bridal party to have scooters to ride around the casino for the day, just because? Heck yes! Let’s roll! Not sure exactly where to place tables and chairs or what the lighting at the reception should look like? Your guests will think you hit the jackpot by the time Lindsay and her team are done. Don’t get us started on all the perks of getting married at a hotel, convention center, and casino! The venue was grand and gorgeous with separate rooms for our ceremony and reception. The cocktail hour was in the atrium with tons of natural light and great views. The rooms were classy and comfortable with amazing views. Then there were all of the perks- great restaurants, huge casino, pool, spa, and golf course (it was April with a snow storm to boot, so no golf, but it was still beautiful), plus after we all tore it up at the reception, we took the party to the casino and stumbled back to the room. Best. Wedding. Ever.

We had a wedding ceremony and reception at this location for 145 people for my son and daughter-n-law. This venue failed to deliver for us. We had picked Mystic Lake because this venue was located across a quiet golf course with plenty of park...
ing and photo opportunities. When we initially booked it, the new building was unfinished. We offered all our guest a premium open bar package and 2 meal options. On the day of the wedding, we had to ditch the mic pass after dinner since both mics were not working properly in the reception hall. We found out through the set-up crew manager, Heather, that there was another 600 people event during the same time as our wedding. This information was not communicated to us. We would not have kept our wedding there if we knew we were going to share the space and the same parking lot with 600 hundred other people. We heard from many of our guest that the 2 bartenders were less than friendly. One of the bartender had an issue with the music DJ over lighting. So, for the rest of the evening, the DJ had to leave all the lights back up. The lack of professionalism from the bartenders was disappointing. Many of our guest could not find the wedding location due to lack of signs. When we booked our venue, we were told there will be multiple signs directing guest to the wedding from the main hotel lobby. Due the large venue next to us, the parking lot for the Mystic Center was full and over-flowed to the casino parking lot, our guest spent hours wondering through the casino and completely missed the ceremony. For such a big day, we wanted a venue that pays attention to details and Mystic Lake came up short on details.

I really wanted to write a good review because people at the wedding had a great time, but as I write my thank you’s, I realize this only because of my photographer, videographer, and DJ. We stayed at the hotel the night before to make things ...
easier and so we could do the rehearsal. We met with about 3 different managers before they let us into the ceremony hall only to find that it was even set up yet. The day of the wedding came, and I got a call from my florist saying she wasn’t allowed into the ballroom to set up, let alone just drop the flowers off into the room. I had security just drop the flowers off into my hotel room and our wedding party ended up having to set the flowers. Come time for the first look and photos. We worked with our coordinator to have the photos be on the golf course, but when we get to The Meadows Golf Course, the manager refused to let us out onto the course as if he didn’t know about the wedding and that they don’t allow couples out there. Luckily, one of the drivers agreed to take us out there telling us they do this all the time. Photos complete, I realize there is no signage telling our guests where to go so as the bride, I’M running around trying to figure out where everything and everyone is. Luckily, my photographer and DJ took over and help communicate to guests on where to go. Ceremony is just about to start, and my DJ is the one who eases my anxiety and lines us all up to begin the ceremony. Coordinator has been nowhere to be found up to this point in the day. Ceremony done, most of the anxiety gone, I go to get a drink from the bar, a drink that I had already paid for and hosting for the night (meaning I’m clearly 21+) and the bartender refuses to serve me because I’m not carrying my ID around with me. They then start charging our guests for soda while they serve soda for FREE on the casino floor. All that said and done, we were told that the venue would clean and all we would have to do is pick up our things in the morning. I get to the ballroom in the morning and find that everything is just shoved into a corner and I still have to do my own cleaning. We come back from our honeymoon about 5 days later knowing we had left stuff at the hotel. We get to hotel security and as the bride and groom, we weren’t allowed to pick up ANYTHING because we couldn’t describe it in detail and we weren’t listed as the owner of the lost and found items. I immediately email our coordinator letting her know so we can just get everything the next time we’re at the hotel. She agrees, but 3 weeks later and we haven’t heard from her. I give them a call and they tell me that anything left over 30 days is distributed to the tribe and community. I went into my wedding weekend with an open mind, but seeing how much work my wedding party, DJ, photographer, and videographer did throughout the day to keep things running smoothly, I cannot recommend Mystic Lake as an appropriate wedding venue especially with coordinators who are were not present the day of the wedding.

I could not have asked for more from the Wedding Team at Mystic Lake! This was the most affordable and prime location for us to have our wedding! The staff was on point the entire night and the food was raved about months after the wedding was ...
over. Working with Lindsay was a breeze, we didn't feel stressed or pressured into doing anything that we didn't want to go through with and she actually listened to what WE wanted and delivered undoubtedly. All of our friends and family still talk about that night even after a year has passed. We had a couple of hiccups along the way but in the end we couldn't of asked for better. The price is great for what is included and the convenience of the hotel being right there can't be beat especially with family coming in from out of town. I talk this place up every chance I get to my engaged and long term relationship friends. HIGHLY recommended!

Best Day Ever!!! Our son Josh & his bride Katie were married at Mystic Lake Hotel on October 7th, 2017. They both live out of state, so my husband & I were tasked with a lot of the wedding planning. From the moment I met Lindsay Frank, the even...
t coordinator, I knew she was going to be very valuable in the planning & execution of this event. She exceeded my expectations & did not disappoint...from scheduling the day, making sure all small details were taken care of, to being there right before we all walked down the aisle!!! She is VERY good at her job!! The venue was great for everything from rehearsal & groom's dinner, ceremony & reception/dance. It was so nice to have everything at one location to make it easy for not only bridal party but all guests as well. We had a ton of compliments on the venue & the food was awesome. We used the Wabasha Room for ceremony & the Grand Ballroom for reception/dance. Also all the wait staff and any other staff member we encountered were super friendly and easy to work with. Would highly recommend this venue, in fact we hope to be able to use it when our other son gets married!!!

Just have to say how wonderful it was to work with Lindsay in coordinating the wedding rehearsal dinner. Coming from out of state and having to make arrangements for a dinner is not easy. Lindsay provided us with several different buffet pack...
ages to choose from and we were able to coordinate both a prepaid and cash bar. The staff was excellent making sure the food stayed full. All of the guests raved about the food and the venue and there was plenty for everyone especially considering a number of the groomsmen were former college football players and still had quite an appetite. I was able to meet with Lindsay once before the event and coordinated everything else via email or phone calls. I would highly recommend this location for such an event.

Lindsay made planning our wedding a BREEZE! From the first initial email I knew Lindsay was going to be extremely easy to work with. I had toured other reception venues and nothing compared to the Ballroom at Mystic Lake. In addition, I wasn...
't treated the same way that Lindsay treated me. We signed the contract for the venue within 30 minutes of our first in-person interaction with Lindsay at Mystic. Throughout the entire process, Lindsay's communication was quick and precise, making the planning process a very stress-free one for me. We thoroughly enjoyed the food tasting day with our parents as chef clearly explained to us what all of the food was and how it would be prepared. We also had our groom's dinner at Mystic in a small convention space which made that Friday night extremely easy! Our wedding party and most of our guests stayed at the hotel so having both events at Mystic was a no-brainer! Day of execution was flawless (or what I could tell) as the entire banquet staff ensured that our guests were taken care of and comfortable. The food was top-notch and the cake . . . unreal (I want more)! Overall, we were extremely pleased with the result of our day and had no regret with the venue choice of Mystic Lake Casino & Hotel and its very talented staff! Thanks to all for making it a beautiful day that my husband and I will always remember!

And, just as good was the service. Just anything we needed at any time, the staff was incredible! (From a last minute request to have iced tea at the start of the reception, to serving additional appetizers for the bridal party, to a few instantaneous dinner changes/additions...no hesitation at all by the serving staff to provide anything to anyone.) We got SO MANY compliments on the ballroom, the food (LOTS on the food), the accommodations...just everything about the reception! The room looked amazing, thanks to Lindsay and the fantastic staff there. The pricing was also a key point as an all-inclusive affordable package, no nickel-and-diming, plus we were able to be creative with a few things like the lighting and beverage inclusions. We're SO happy we made the choice to go with Mystic for our reception and we wholeheartedly recommend them for a wedding venue!

d when we were finally invited for our taste testing (9 months later), that's when we discovered that their food was as terrible as their customer service. With only 4 months left, we were scrambling to find a venue that would cater to our needs and that's when we stumbled upon Lindsay at Mystic Lake Casino. We were always interested in Mystic Lake, so we called to inquire about their venue, and as we explained our situation regarding the bad experience and bad food, they were able to schedule an in-person meeting with us the SAME DAY. We were so impressed when we arrived because Lindsay had requested that the chef put together some dishes for us to taste while we discussed details. WOW factors: 1) Lindsay's sincere concern for our concerns, and 2) the chef personally served us and explained what he was serving. What a great first impression! We were blown away at how much they cared, and at that very moment, that's when we KNEW this would be the place in which we can entrust one of the most important days of our lives. My husband and I got married in the Grand Ballroom on November 11, 2016 and we could not be more happy that we chose Mystic Lake. Most importantly, we were very pleased with Lindsay's attention to our needs, her professionalism, her time, her flexibility and her superb customer service skills!! Thank you so much, Lindsay! I highly recommend choosing Mystic Lake to cater your events. They've got great people like Lindsay that care!

We had more than a quarter of our wedding guests stay at the Mystic Lake hotel and they all enjoyed the restaurants and activities Mystic had to offer! We were able to work with the hotel front desk staff on handing out goodie bags for our guests with $10 of free Mystic Lake cash! My wedding party and I got ready at Mystic in two adjoining suites! It was a perfect set up for a bridal suite while the boys got ready in a separate room! We had pictures taken on the golf course with the help of some staff as well! It was absolutely beautiful and provided many different options for pictures! All of the food was delicious! We were so grateful on how accommodating they were with all the food allergies and food preferences of our guests (vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, etc.). We highly recommend the pizza as a late night snack; it was a huge hit! The decorations and lighting team did a wonderful job too; they had great suggestions on how to make different parts of the room pop! Another great advantage of Mystic Lake is that they do the tear down and clean up at the end of the night for you! When our reception was over we were able to leave the banquet room and continue having fun with your guests instead of having to tear down all the tables at the end of the night! We were also able to reserve some cosmic bingo tables after our reception for our guests and us! We all had a blast! As a part of the package, Mystic provided the bride and groom with a suite for the night of the wedding. We were able to stay in the same suite that the bridal party got ready in the morning so we didn’t have to worry about moving our belongings from room to room on the wedding day. This was such a huge convenience, as we didn’t have to worry about changing rooms or moving our belongings throughout the day. Overall our experience working with Lindsay and all of the Mystic Lake staff was fantastic. We would highly recommend Mystic Lake as a venue for your reception as the accommodations that are available onsite are second to none. We will definitely have future events here!!
