Everything we could have hoped for!

We absolutely loved having our wedding at this venue! From the moment we started planning, the owners were so kind, helpful, and willing to go above and beyond to make our wedding day special. They truly cared about making sure everything came together and were such a pleasure to work with.

The grounds were beautifully maintained and made the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and photos. The bridal suite was one of our favorite parts—it was spacious, comfortable, and the perfect place for the bridal party to get ready and enjoy the morning together. Having a separate area for the men to get ready was also such a great feature and made the day feel much more organized.

The reception space was perfect for celebrating with our family and friends, and having a fully equipped sound system was a huge convenience. Everything about the venue helped make our wedding day feel special and memorable.

We are so grateful we chose this venue for such an important day in our lives. The beautiful property, wonderful spaces, and especially the owners made our wedding experience one we will always look back on fondly. We would absolutely recommend this venue to any couple planning their wedding!

Romantic, Personal, Memorable

Absolutely the best! I am a current wedding DJ and have done many weddings for couples. My wife and I searched for almost a year to find the perfect venue that was local, had the right feel, and the right people for our big day. Needless to say this was it! From the start of our wedding journey to the end, Sunrise Beach went way above and beyond with their services. From setting up the beach, to the reception area, even the perfect Bridal Suite and separate area for the groomsmen. Word's cannot express enough how romantic and personal this venue made it for us and our guests. The walk down to the beach is breath taking, the bridal suite is very luxurious with everything you could need inside, and the reception area was perfect for our dinner, first dances, and DJ. They have a complete sound system, lighting, and all tables and chairs for dinner and dancing! This is a review but also a thank you, for making our day one of the most personal, romantic, and memorable days of our lives. If you are looking for a venue that will personalize your big day and help you start to finish, please reach out to them! Even our photographer and videographer said it was breath taking. 100% the best decision we made for the start of our marriage together!

Absolutely stunning lakeside venue!

I recently attended a wedding at Sunrise Beach, and I was completely blown away. The beauty of the lake provides the most incredible backdrop for a ceremony it’s pure Minnesota magic. You can tell the hosts put so much heart into the grounds; the landscaping was flawless and the setup was elegant. Beyond the views, the hosts were amazing. They truly thought of every detail to ensure the couple’s day was perfect. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a dream lakefront wedding!

Great lake front wedding venue

Sunrise Beach was the perfect place for our wedding! Lynn and Felicia were so kind and supportive every step of the way. The venue is absolutely stunning, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful everything was. We felt so taken care of and truly loved. DJ NORTH (aka Noah) was our DJ. They only have the best of the best vendors working for them. Highly recommend!
