With vibrant fall colors, sweeping lake views, and space for your entire guest list to stay together, it’s the ideal destination for a fall wedding in Minnesota.

All Your Guests

One Unforgettable Location

Our summer weekends are packed with families and fishermen, but if you want a romantic setting for your wedding and reception, fall is the perfect season, and The Red Door Resort on Lake Mille Lacs is the perfect spot.

Book the entire resort and enjoy our 12-acre property just for you and your guests. You can even hold the ceremony right on our beach with vibrant fall colors and the gentle waves of Lake Mille Lacs surrounding you.

If you rent a large event tent for the lakeside lawn, your guests are all set for an evening of dinner and dancing, rain or shine.

A Lakefront Wedding Venue Included

With Your Stay

At The Red Door Resort, couples who meet the weekend minimum enjoy full access to our event spaces and amenities at no additional charge which include:

  • Our 96-person event center, perfect for the Groom’s Dinner and wedding-day appetizers (and even the reception if you don’t rent a tent)
  • Resort owned tables and chairs
  • As many harbor slips as you might need

The commercial kitchen is also available to lease if you’d like your caterers to have full access.

THE RESORT MINIMUM FOR The
Weddings Weekend $10,000

When your guests book and pay for a cabin or motel room, their reservation counts toward this $10,000 minimum – and, assuming your party fills the resort for both nights, you’ll have covered the entire $10,000. In this case, the wedding couple pays nothing for the venue and pays only for their lodging and other expenses (see below).

The Event Center, Cafe, and the Harbor Slips are all free of charge when you meet the $10,000 minimum.

Unfortunately, we can’t provide everything, so there are a few things to consider outside of the resort rental:

  • Food (we require use of a food vendor that is commercially in the state of Minnesota; the commercial kitchen at the resort is available to lease)
  • Alcohol (we have full liquor license, which includes the ability to serve strong beer and wine, and require that alcohol be purchased through the resort for your event)
  • Large tent or tents
  • DJ / Dance Floor (if you desire in the tent)
  • Port-a-potties (we require a minimum of two be leased for the wedding weekend)
  • Pontoon rental(s) – remember, harbor slips are free if your guests bring their own boats
  • Decorations and floral arrangements
  • Ceremony officiant (our staff isn’t state-licensed… yet)

Plan Your Fall Wedding

The Red Door Resort recommends the weekend after Labor Day through mid-October. Anything earlier will run into availability issues, given the popularity of our resort during the summer months.
