Absolutely Amazing!!!!

Granite Springs was amazing!! We had our wedding there and it was the most perfect day!! Over the year of wedding planning, Haley was amazing to work with. She was very responsive and would respond the same day with any questions I had! They made the venue look perfect! We also got to stay on site in the cabins/villas and they were very nice, clean, and convenient. I can’t thank them enough for all that they did for us!

Our dream wedding weekend!

Granite Springs was so accommodating. We loved being able to utilize the entire property to host our friends and family. Our guests loved the rooms, game room, the trails to walk on, and all the space to gather. It’s a hidden gem with amazing views for pictures. The event center is beautifully designed and helped us create the perfect atmosphere for our wedding reception. We got married in January, but definitely plan to visit again in the summer to enjoy the other amenities and reminisce our on wedding day!

We loved it!

We had an amazing reception here! They were so easy to work with and communicate with! We loved that they did all the tables and chairs for us up and down! Made decorating so much easier! And they were very reasonably priced for all the help they give you along the way! We also loved the lodging that came along with it which allowed our wedding party and family members a place to stay safely!! Thank you Granite Springs Lodge!

Amazing venue

This is such a gorgeous venue. We had our wedding here in July and we got so many compliments and so many people asked us how we found this place (I just did a lot of research!). The wrap around porch on the back was a great spot for pictures (it has a beautiful background) and was amazing for our guests to hang out who didn't want to be on the dance floor!

Compared to venues in Sioux Falls this was such an amazing price. The employees were so wonderful to work with not only leading up to the wedding but they were helpful on the day of as well. When I had questions or concerns leading up to the wedding they were responsive and more than fair when working out solutions with us.

The bridal party and a few other guests stayed on the property that night and it was so much fun going for a late night swim and having a fire down by the beach. I wish I could re-live my wedding over and over again and I would choose this venue every time!

Everything was just as we expected!

We had a super experience with Granite Springs and their entire staff. We rented a majority of the property for an extended wedding weekend and our guests enjoyed every aspect of the place. Everything needed is supplied, facility is well kept, and the staff is excellent.

Perfect Day

We had our wedding at Granite Springs, and it was truly everything we dreamed of and more! From the very beginning, the staff was incredibly helpful—always just a quick text or phone call away. They answered every question promptly and even had extra supplies on hand, which made a huge difference when little things popped up.

We also rented decor through Granite Springs and used their bar services, and I would never go a different route. Everything was seamless, beautiful, and stress-free. The bar staff was professional and friendly, and the decor rentals made setup so much easier while still looking stunning.

Our family and bridal party stayed on the property, and the villas and cottage were perfect. It made the entire weekend feel relaxed and connected. Multiple guests commented on how smoothly everything ran, and we know that was thanks to the incredible Granite Springs team.

If you’re looking for a gorgeous venue with top-notch service, helpful staff, on-site lodging, and amazing extras like decor and bar options—Granite Springs is the place. We can’t recommend them enough!

The perfect weekend

We got married 5/31 and stayed all weekend- it was perfect weather and we didn’t have to worry about GS staff at all. Chairs were set up and taken down for the ceremony on time, the bar staff was great, the outdoors areas were clean and up-kept, the guys had a great time fishing, and the staff even helped restock desserts at the wedding reception when they didn’t have to. All questions were responded to in a very timely matter and everything went smoothly planning this weekend. 10/10 recommend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
