Wedding 2025

Our experience was one we will never forget! Kelly and the whole team were AMAZING to work with and they made our day easy going! If you need a place to get married, with a beautiful view, amazing staff, yummy food (we had the taco bar), then the Balsam Lake Lodge is the place for you!!! We can’t thank the whole team there enough and we still talk about how smooth everything went.

Best Venue for the Price

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Balsam Lake Lodge! From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect and the value we got for the price was unbelievable. So many of our guests commented that it looked like we must have spent a fortune, but it was actually one of the most budget-friendly venues we found.

Great Wedding Venue

We had our ceremony and reception here with a cocktail hour in between. Ceremony was right on the water and beautiful. Reception was indoors and cozy. Food was delicious, service was great, and the coordination with Courtney leading up to it was super easy and not stressful at all. I would highly recommend have a wedding here.

Perfect spot for our big day. The venue was super flexible with us as weather was an issue and we decided last minute to move inside. Not as beautiful as outside, but it was still a magical day.

Fairytale Wedding!!! We had an October wedding - both ceremony and reception at Paradise Landing. The interior and exterior decor was warm, cozy, friendly and relaxing, we ended up having our wedding on the patio in front of the fireplace. Many people commented it was the cutest wedding they had been too, we had a bridal party consisting of our little nieces and nephews - it was perfect. The staff was very helpful, our wedding planner at Paradise was very knowledgable in helping figure out the little details, which was critical to me as I was planning our wedding in less than 2 months! Overall it is a beautiful place for a wedding and reception! I highly recommend this location!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
