Q + A

What else is there to do in Custer?

The wedding will take place within the state park. There is a wildlife loop right around the corner where you can see buffalo and even feed donkeys. There's also a Hayride Chuck Wagon Cook Out that leaves from the Bluebell Lodge, a Buffalo Safari Jeep Tour that leaves right from the lodge, Horseback riding at the bluebell stables, and boat and water sport rentals and Legion and Sylvan Lake. Needles Highway and Iron Mountain Road are two gorgeous drives that are also just around the corner.

Where’s the closest airport?

Rapid City Regional Airport. The venue is a 45 minute drive from the airport.

Do I need a park pass?

Every guest can get a free day pass by mentioning the wedding at the gates. The pass is for one day only, and any additional days will need a pass.

What is the weather usually like in September?

Well, it is the Midwest. We usually experience about 70-80 degree highs during the day, and 40-50 degree lows in the evening. It could also be raining. Or snowing. Or windy. Or sunny. Who knows, really.
