The Lodge at Brainerd Lakes
Luxury meets love at the Lodge
Holds ceremonies and receptions
We thoroughly enjoyed the venue! The staff was super accommodating and extremely helpful throughout the entire wedding ceremony and reception! We were originally going to have it outside but because of the weather we decided to change it into an inside ceremony and it was beautiful! They did the change up very fast and moved everything around to be able to sit everyone down! Super helpful and so easy to talk to as well! Loved this venue, if I could do it again I would pick The Lodge!
Accommodated to make the day perfect, very reasonably priced. Complimentary honeymoon suit was an added bonus! Highly recommend if you are looking for a reception venue in Brainerd!
