Are children invited?

Answer

As much as we love the little ones, we have decided for the day to be an adult only event. Unless otherwise stated on the invitation, we ask that you keep the little ones at home!

Question

Where should we stay?

Answer

There are LOTS of options near the venue that would be great options. Catalyst is located in Nature Link Resort which has 1-3 bedroom cabins or hotel rooms. This is a very convenient location for the wedding! There are also a large number of resorts around the area with many options of lodging: Grand View Lodge (our favorite), Madden's on Gull, Breezy Point Resort, and Cragun's. Another great option is staying at a cabin, Airbnb, or VRBO on a lake in the surrounding area. Both Luke and Sonia grew up going on the lakes in the nearby area and would love for others to experience the same fun they had!

Question

What is there to do in Nisswa?

Answer

Downtown Nisswa is a great town to walk around, shop, grab a bite to eat or get some ice cream! There is a wonderful walking path located in downtown Nisswa. Some favorite restaurants around the area are: Rafferty's (multiple locations), Zorbaz, Ernie's on Gull, and so many more! Boat days are our favorite way to pass the time in the summer in Minnesota.

There are also some other options of entertainment around, such as mini golfing, golfing, or, especially, going to Breezy Point for Elvis Impersonation Nights on Saturdays!
