We booked the resort for the entire weekend of our reception for a very reasonable price. The weekend turned into a wonderful time decorating and celebrating with rooms full of friends and family. Brittany and Justin worked with us every step of the way choosing table placements and decorations, even lending some of their own. The help that we received was above and beyond what was in our contract and it made our reception absolutely perfect. The entire event was stress free for my husband and I, they took care of everything. We checked in to other reception options in the area and I can happily say we picked the best place possible.

Our event here was truly one that will never be forgotten. Brittany worked around the clock for us and it did not go unnoticed. We encountered many hurdles and jumped through them all together. In this area, no venue even compares!

-Tawni W., 2016 Event

We came to Black River Lodge after my dreams of a barn wedding were a bit crushed. I had talked on the phone with Brittany (one of the owners) and she immediately showed me that she was going to be easy to talk to about anayything that would come up during our time planning and then throughout our wedding weekend. My future husband and I scheduled a meeting and both were very impressed with the venue and could really start to see our wedding celebration come to life. A couple moths before our day, we planned another meeting to find a place to have our ceremony. We found one! Brittany and Justin both saw our vision and helped us see it through. It was like a fairytale. I know that sounds cheesy, but it is so true. The whole weekend was so much fun, having everyone under one roof, just being able to spend time together and relax. I would recommend Black River Lodge to anyone looking for a wedding venue that is made to feel like you're spending the weekend at your very own north woods, very large cabin. It's the perfect place to have an intimate ceremony with your closest family and friends.
