For anyone looking for a relaxing vacation with great amenities, Grandview Lodge is the place to go! The resort is over 100 years old and is well-loved throughout Minnesota.

It's a little further from the ceremony/reception at 25 minutes away, but is close to Lizzy's parents home and a quaint downtown Nisswa. As a fun fact, this is also where Lizzy worked as a front desk agent for two years (and almost met Miles Teller).

For anyone looking for a rustic but memorable experience in Northern Minnesota, you have to check out Beachland Cottages. This is where Lizzy's family went on summer vacations for 9 years starting on her first birthday. The Luebbers have such great memories here in these slightly broken down but lovable cottages. It is where their love of Minnesota and Lake Hubert began, and we would be remiss if we didn't add it to our recommendations.
