Weekend Wedding

My partner and I got married at GSL end of June 2024. It was the most perfect day! We worked mostly with Cherry and a bit with Kate. When we first secured our date, the gals made sure we booked a side by side cabin far in advance so we didn’t have to compete with the summer rush. This served as our getting ready spaces and much of our wedding party stayed with us. We made a weekend trip over the winter to do our catering tasting and really got to visualize our event in the space. The food was delicious at the tasting and even better on the day! Cherry was so helpful coaching us through our selections and roughly how much we might need for our event (a tad over 100 ppl). I would recommend couples come prepared to talk through all the details during this time. We were able to provide a list of all our vendors and vision for the day which made our correspondence regarding the day much easier! The day we got married was a rainy one, and I was concerned we may need to move our event inside. Cherry told us we could decide last minute and even swap around cocktail hour if needed. She also had many many umbrellas if we wanted to be brave! The weather cleared up and made for the pinkest spectacular sunset. But I so appreciated the venue’s flexibility and Cherry’s calmness over the whole event. The reception space transformed with the ceiling display and bistro lighting. We hosted beer, wine, coffee and pop for our guests and hosted a smores bar outside. Their catering staff was so respectful and professional, we received so many compliments on the buffet food, Cherry got me a glass of wine while the gals bustled my dress - it was those details and service that made GSL stand out. If I had to do it all over again I would always choose this venue and location. It was pure magic getting married with Lake Superior in the background and such a stunning venue for our “destination” wedding. This was the best experience anyone could have planning their wedding.

Incredible and a Dream

We started planning our wedding a year before the date. Everyone kept asking if we were stressed and the answer was always NO. Kate and Cherry were absolutely phenomenal at their job. They made everything so easy. Our wedding was far more amazing than we could have ever dreamed. It’s a day we will truly never forget. We will recommend Grand Superior Lodge for anything. For the food, the views, and most definitely for a wedding!! Everything was amazing and I’m so sad it’s over.

Perfection!

The experience we had with the Grand Superior Lodge was nothing less than PERFECTION! From our first visit to the tasting and every change that came with getting married in 2020, the GSL staff was kind, helpful, and so professional. The kitchen was able to provide us with our dream wedding meal of a build your own burger bar and provided the appropriate accommodations for our guests as well. The space was clean and tidy and everything we hoped it would be. We cannot thank the GSL staff enough for all the work they put into our event!

Best North Shore Venue

After much searching for the perfect venue around Duluth and the North Shore we decided on the Grand Superior Lodge to host our June wedding. We were extremely excited by the lodging options, as we always wanted a community feel at our wedding and wanted to have all of our friends and family in one spot to make the most of the weekend.

From our first contact with Hannah and Kate they were both extremely professional, timely in their response, and always willing to work with us on ideas and requests we had. When we visited the resort in January for our walk through and tasting the entire staff where incredibly accommodating and very pleasant to work with. They even allowed us to take a tour of some of the cabins and townhomes to see what our guests would be staying in, and they are incredible!

Unfortunately our wedding was planned for June 2020, and as the coronavirus began to spread in the U.S. we had to make a difficult decision to cancel our wedding in late April. From the time we reached out in March to discuss our options both Hannah and Kate were again extremely professional and accommodating in working with us as we weathered the storm for awhile before officially cancelling.

While we won’t be able to actually hold our wedding at the Grand Superior Lodge, based on our experience through this process we know it would have been everything we imagined and more. The setting is beautiful, the lodging is incredible and the staff truly is the epitome of “Minnesota Nice”. We’d definitely recommend the Grand Superior Lodge to anyone searching for that special spot for your wedding, and hope to go back someday soon and celebrate our future anniversaries.

Beautiful venue!

My husband and I loved Grand Superior Lodge! Kate did an amazing job with checking in on us, but never hovered, which is exactly what we wanted from her. She made sure things got done when we weren't even thinking about them! All of the staff were extremely nice as well. We highly recommend Grand Superior Lodge for the amazing people but also the breath taking views!

Made it a great day

They were professional, the food was amazing, and the staff was great. The front desk was so patient as we called multiple times.
The view was awesome.
The bon fire with marshmallows every night was a great treat.
