About this venue

The Shores at Woodland Resort: North Dakota’s Premier Lakeside Wedding Venue

Nestled on the shoreline Devils Lake, The Shores offers an unforgettable setting for weddings and events. With panoramic lake views, private get-ready suites, and on-site lodging just steps away at Woodland Resort, our venue combines natural beauty with convenience and luxury. Woodland Resort is the region's top destination for fishing and hunting, established in 1988.

Our inclusive wedding packages alleviate much of the stress of wedding planning — including tables, chairs, linens, dinnerware, and floor plan setup/tear down. You also get unlimited consultations, planning resources, and vendor referrals so that you're set you up for success! We offer on-site catering, made fresh in our state-of-the-art kitchen with no added food or beverage minimums. The elegant main hall can easily accommodates 400 guests, complete with vaulted ceilings, grand chandeliers, and floor-to-ceiling windows for an unobstructed lake view. For a truly memorable experience, check out our add-ons like golf cart or boat rentals, or even treat your group to a guided fishing trip!

The Shores is ADA accessible with free parking and A/V features like in-house speakers and microphones, LED screens, ambient lighting, and color-changing sconces both inside and out. Our stunning lakeside venue stands out as unique among the typical Midwestern venues that lean into rustic, barn-style backdrops. Be unique and book The Shores!

Whether you're a local couple or interested in a destination wedding vibe, The Shores offers everything you need to create a one-of-a-kind celebration. From layouts to linens, our dedicated events team is here to support you so you can focus on your guest list, décor, and vendors.

The Shores Event Center

Our wedding day at The Shores was absolutely breathtaking! From the start, the staff made planning effortless, and Laurel, Warren, Louis, Brady, and their team were amazing to work with. The venue was clean, organized, and beautiful inside and out, with stunning lake views. It truly had everything we needed, making it the perfect choice for our area. The food was delicious with plenty of options, and the lodging was comfortable and convenient for all of our guests. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
