GRAND VIEW LODGE

Downsizing a must?

Try upscaling your event to give your guests a stellar experience they won’t soon forget

BY SUE STERLING — The “new normal” has brought about significant changes in the wedding world. Grand View Lodge offers you and your guests' high-quality service, exquisite cuisine, scenic views, and top-notch amenities while giving you more time with your guests. With our StaySafe Initiative, we will help you create memories while keeping safety in mind.

Grand View Lodge offers a variety of indoor and outdoor venues. Many couples are incorporating the outdoor elements this year with our grand staircase being the most desirable location. Envision yourself walking down the iconic stone grand staircase — the lake in sight and the historic main lodge in the background surrounded by towering pines and your loved one. Cinderella would be envious.

From rooms in the historic main lodge, the new North boutique hotel, honeymoon cabins on the lake, luxury townhouses and fairway residences — you and your guests will enjoy a comfortable, relaxing stay before, during and after your wedding celebration. Ideal as a destination wedding, Grand View can accommodate wedding parties in multiple units or larger reunion cabins. A variety of scenic views, including the lake, forest and golf courses, are sure to please guests from near and far. The majority of accommodations are within easy walking distance to resort amenities including restaurants, a fitness center, Glacial Waters Spa, golf courses, gift shops, tennis courts, the beach, and pool with hot tubs and water slide. The chapel opens to a vaulted ceiling with a gorgeous stained-glass window at the peak.

Our professional wedding planners will work with you to select the perfect options for your dream wedding. Our services include site selection, accommodations, scheduling, catering and coordinating your reception needs. We can also assist in selecting vendors for all your wedding needs to make your day perfect.

Grand View is highly creative in offering different styles of setting up private venues. Couples have been downsizing their guest lists and are focusing more on the culinary experience for their guests. Our culinary team is passionate about making your wedding an unforgettable experience. They can conduct private tasting appointments for our couples and cater to every palate. Grand View offers a range of full-service cuisine options, including rehearsal dinners, bridal luncheons and in-room service for private parties. Plated dinners are recommended and our chef’s staff can assist with distributing food at stations. Appetizers and desserts can be displayed on tables family-style. With the need to seat fewer guests per table, guests have an opportunity for quality conversation and reminiscing.

Grand View Lodge strives to make your wedding dreams come true through their meticulous planning, award-winning culinary team and breathtaking grounds, venues and amenities.
