Travel Note
Beware the Marathon!
Our wedding is the same day as Grandma's Marathon between Two Harbors and Duluth, so you may encounter traffic on your journey north. As most of the hotels in the area require a 2-night stay anyway, we recommend traveling on Friday, so you can relax along the shores of Lake Superior before the wedding! See Things to Do for ideas
Hotel
Bluefin Bay on Lake Superior
There are lots of room options for whatever group size you're traveling with! We recommend staying at Bluefin Bay (near the ceremony) or Surfside (near the reception). Minimum 2-night stay required. To get our wedding discount, book online using the Special Code section: "WEDD5". The North Shore is a popular summer vacation destination, to ensure your stay we recommend that you book as early as possible!! A deposit will be charged upon booking, but cancellations made at least 14 days prior to arrival will receive a full refund. If you have questions, feel free to reach out to us or to Bluefin directly!
