Wherever we got married, we knew it would require some travel. So, it might as well be someplace special. We promise it's worth the adventure!

Tony grew up in Nisswa, Minnesota. The first time he brought Jess to meet his family in his hometown it reminded her of Lake Almanor, California vacations with her own family growing up. The two of them realized quickly that it would be a special place for their most carefree times together, including Tony's proposal during their 2022 vacation to the cabins and ultimately where they decided they want to celebrate their wedding day on July 20, 2024.

When Tony and Jessie envisioned their dream wedding, they wanted it to feel like Summer Camp! When a friend directed them to the new Catalyst by NatureLink venue in Tony's own hometown it was a perfect fit. The former hockey camp has a unique history of also being Minnesota's second oldest resort property. It was recently purchased by the NatureLink company who had the vision of making it a luxury resort on the lake for beautiful, experience-driven weddings and events. At this time the property has 12 cabins and allows up to 40 of our guests to stay with us on the property!

Please keep in mind, Nisswa is about 150 miles North of Minneapolis / St. Paul, Minnesota. We recommend car rentals from the MSP airport - ask Tony and Jess if they can help connect you to anyone else driving up that are open to carpooling! Otherwise there is an option to fly into the small Brainerd airport.

Alternately, Groome Transportation offers daily shuttles to the Brainerd area from MSP Airport.
