Weddings deserve a venue that’s superior, spectacular and well worth the drive. When you host your wedding or special occasion at the Bluefin Bay Family of Resorts you have the combined facilities, amenities and accommodations of three stunning Lake Superior resorts from which to choose – Bluefin Bay, Surfside and Temperance Landing.

We believe that everything about your wedding day should make you feel beautiful, including the backdrop. Exchange vows in our cozy, private cove just a few feet from the shoreline of Lake Superior. Following the ceremony, host your reception in a private room at the Bluefin Grille. Our first-rate food and beverage services compliment out top-notch location.

At Bluefin Bay Family of Resorts, we host events with up to 40 people. All three of our Lake Superior Resorts offer upscale accommodations, breathtaking views, in-room amenities such as fireplaces and jetted whirlpool tubs, and our warm and friendly North Shore hospitality. Bluefin Bay has been frequently named Minnesota’s Most Romantic Resort and MN Bride’s Best Honeymoon Resort seven years in a row.

My daughter was married at Bluefin Bay in Tofte, MN and it was absolutely perfect. The Bride and Groom were married outdoors at "The Cove" which is right on the shores of Lake Superior. The scenery was amazing. Jeremy worked with us to plan the menu and details of the reception at Surfside. He was very responsive during the planning process and allowed us to be creative in planning our Friday night reception for our guests. The Saturday wedding reception area looked beautiful and the staff was very professional. The food was excellent! Our guests loved the venue, atmosphere, food, and overall feel. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out!
Jeremy was great! but he is not a wedding "planner" so we did hire Northland Special Events out of Duluth, MN to help with decorating, and organizing our Friday night gathering, signs, etc. The combination of the two services was incredible!

This venue was absolutely stunning and unforgettable. From the start they filled our lovely lake side hotel room with champagne, Jeremy M was the best person every, asking questions and making sure everything was together. He made the night as smooth as possible. The food, was to die for. The steak was tender and the chicken was moist. There wasnt anyone upset at all over anything. They surprised us and had fireworks for our wedding at the end of the night, and to top it all off gave us a voucher for a free stay at bluefin bay for the future. Hands down my favorite place to be in Minnesota.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
