Our Wedding

The couple met in brookings at hobo days in 2018. Not knowing each other before, they hit it off and later started dating 4 months later. They bought their first home in Pipestone, MN in 2020 then later moved to Baltic, SD where they live now with their two dogs, Remi & Ricki!

Q + A

While we understand that it may be early to be making travel plans, Custer State Park Resort’s accommodations book very quickly. Outside of the park, options are limited, and you can expect a drive time of 20 minutes or more from our reception location. We are only able to set up a small block of rooms that will be released back to the public September 1, 2024. If you are at all interested in reserving a room or cabin on site, the State Game Lodge recommends that you call and make your reservations as soon as possible so that you have the best possible chance of getting a room or cabin type that works for you. Call 1-888-875-0001 to make your reservations and reference the Gunderson/Scotting Wedding at the State Game Lodge on Friday, June 6, 2025 when calling. If there are no units in the block that suit your needs, you can ask what is available outside of the block, instead. Be prepared to charge the first and last night’s deposit when making your reservation. If you do have to cancel, the deposit is refundable less a $25 cancellation fee if you do so at least 15 days in advance.

State Game Lodge at Custer State Park Resorts

Click on the link, under lodge area, make sure you are under state game lodge to be walking distance of the venue. If you do not want to use the link, call 1-888-875-0001 to make a reservation. The only one that isn’t is the Custer Ranch House which is about a 10 minute drive from the venue. No specialty cabins will be under the room block, so make sure you book those ahead of time if you are interested.

Cabins at Custer State Park Resort

If you would not like to stay at the State Game Lodge where the wedding events will be held, here is another option for you. A 30 min Drive to Holiday Inn Express & Suites in Custer, SD. For your comfort and convenience, a limited number of rooms have been reserved at a special rate of $204 for the occasion. Discounted rates are available for a standard king or two queen guest room. Please mention the Gunderson/Scotting Wedding when calling the hotel to get the preferred rate. It allows for cancellation up to 24 hours prior to arrival and pay at the time of check in. This group discounted rate is not available online or on any other booking platform. Book your room by calling the number above. These rates will no longer be available after January 15, 2025. We will hopefully be lining up a shuttle service for our guests that choose this option.
