If youre looking to soak in the beauty of southeastern Minnesota during your visit, we highly recommend checking out the Root River State Trail! This scenic 42-mile paved trail winds through charming small towns, limestone bluffs, lush forests, and the peaceful Root River itself. It’s perfect for biking, walking, or even just enjoying a leisurely picnic with a view.
The trail is mostly flat and family-friendly, making it a great option for all ages and fitness levels. Bring your own bike or rent one locally in towns like Lanesboro or Harmony. Whether youre up for a morning ride or a relaxing afternoon stroll, this trail is a wonderful way to experience the natural beauty of the area during our wedding weekend.

If youre looking for a fun local spot to relax and enjoy some great craft beer during our wedding weekend, we highly recommend checking out Sylvan Brewing in downtown Lanesboro. Its a cozy, historic brewery with a fantastic selection of small-batch beers, a laid-back vibe, and often live music or food trucks on weekends.
Whether youre winding down after a bike ride or just looking for a casual place to hang out with other guests, its a great stop. It’s just a short walk from everything in town, and we think you’ll love it as much as we do!
Cheers!

Looking for a unique and peaceful way to explore the beauty of the Lanesboro area during our wedding weekend? We recommend checking out Amish Bluffscape Tours!
This guided tour takes you through the scenic countryside and into the heart of Old Order Amish communities. Youll get a chance to visit Amish farms and shops, learn about their traditions, and see handcrafted goods like furniture, quilts, baskets, and baked treats.
Its a relaxing, educational, and memorable experience—perfect for a quiet afternoon before or after the festivities. Tours leave right from downtown Lanesboro and are a great way to see a side of the area you might otherwise miss.

If you have a little free time during the wedding weekend, we highly recommend a visit to Lanesboro Arts Gallery, right in the heart of downtown. This beautiful nonprofit gallery showcases work from talented regional artists—everything from paintings and ceramics to jewelry and textiles.
It’s a great way to experience the creative spirit of Lanesboro, and you might even find a one-of-a-kind piece to take home as a keepsake! The gallery is walkable from anywhere in town and well worth a visit.

Looking for live music, great drinks, and some classic small-town charm? Head over to High Court Pub—conveniently located in downtown Lanesboro and very conveniently owned by my parents.
It’s the perfect place to grab a craft cocktail, a Minnesota beer, and maybe hear a local musician or two. Plus, if you’re lucky, you might catch my dad giving out unsolicited advice or my mom pretending not to run the whole show. Either way, tell them you’re here for the wedding and they’ll probably treat you like royalty (or at least like a mildly famous cousin).
Open all weekend—stop in and say hi, drink something good, and soak up the fun!

If you’re looking for a delicious meal during your stay in Lanesboro, we highly recommend Juniper’s Restaurant. It’s one of our favorite spots in town—beautiful atmosphere, locally inspired dishes, and cocktails that are chef’s kiss.
It’s a popular place (for good reason), so if you’re planning to dine there during the wedding weekend, we suggest making a reservation in advance to snag a table!
Perfect for a date night, family dinner, or treating yourself between wedding festivities. Enjoy!

Keep the Party Going at Root River Saloon!
If youre not ready for the night to end after the reception, head over to Root River Saloon in downtown Lanesboro! Its a laid-back local bar with cold drinks, good music, and that small-town charm we love. Whether youre in the mood to dance, play some pool, or just hang out with friends, its the perfect spot to keep the celebration rolling. Its just a short walk (or stumble!) from most places in town, so rally your crew and meet us there if youre still in party mode!
