About this venue

Granite Springs Lodge is a wedding venue situated in the countryside of Alexandria, South Dakota. Surrounded by natural springs and everlasting woodland, this property enables couples to wed in complete tranquility. A 15-minute drive from the township of Mitchell, this accessible site allows couples to celebrate away from the bustle of everyday life without traveling far.

Facilities and Capacity

Granite Springs Lodge offers a range of indoor and outdoor event spaces that can be used throughout couples’ one-of-a-kind celebrations. Summertime ceremonies can take place in several locations including on the shores of the spring-fed lake. Couples can exchange vows as the sun beautifully bounces off the pristine lake which is filled with a variety of fish. This spot also makes for wonderful photo opportunities that will be treasured for years to come. Additional outdoor areas include the site’s well-maintained lawns. A stone’s throw from the main facility, this area is great for ceremonies and cocktail hours. Here, couples and their guests can sip on beverages and watch as the sunsets over the horizon. Unforgettable banquets and receptions can take place in the Main Lodge. Complete with high ceilings and large windows overlooking the lake, this 8,000 square-foot space has ample room for seated guests, a dance floor, and live entertainment.

Inside the Main Lodge, there is an upper suite consisting of three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, and a full-service kitchen. Additionally, the lower level of the lodge features six bedrooms with their own private bathrooms, shared living quarters, a bar, and a fireplace. Other accommodations include the Cottage, seven individual cabins, and a 5 room villa. The Cottage can sleep up to 20 guests and includes a large outdoor decking area complete with comfy furnishings and a grill. Each of the seven cabins includes two full-sized beds, a bathroom, and a kitchenette.

I would highly recommend the Granite Springs Lodge as a wedding venue! The staff are amazing and easy to work with. We used GSL for the bar as well and they were awesome. I actually ran out of batteries for some of my candles at the reception and they were happy to provide them for me. At our wedding reception we had so many people commenting on how beautiful of a venue it was, and it was really amazing to be able to spend time with our close family and friends the night before as well.

The best venue!

From our initial visit all the way through our incredible wedding reception, Granite Springs Lodge was absolutely amazing! The venue is incredibly beautiful, and the entire team was so accommodating, helpful, and welcoming throughout the whole process. Haley was especially supportive and appreciated throughout the entire process.

The lodging was wonderful as well, and we were thankful to have room for so many family members and friends to stay close by. We greatly appreciated having access to the commercial kitchen, which allowed us to prepare and serve our own meals. The updated bridal suite was cozy and beautiful—a perfect place to get ready on the big day. The game room was also great and gave us the perfect space to have some fun the night before and while the men were getting ready.

We were also so thankful for the shuttle to Mitchell during the reception. It was such a convenience for our guests and made the entire experience that much easier.

We truly couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our wedding. Granite Springs Lodge helped make our wedding weekend incredibly special and memorable, and we are so grateful for everything they did to make our day so wonderful. We highly recommend Granite Springs to anyone looking for a beautiful, accommodating, and truly special wedding venue!

Beautiful place and great people to work with!

We had a great experience with Granite Springs Lodge from start to finish. They were very accommodating and were great communicators. They were so helpful in setting up and flipping the event center from a ceremony set up to a reception set up for our wedding and all the staff was so kind! I would definitely recommend Granite Springs Lodge to any couple looking for their perfect wedding venue!

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!
