Stepmom of the groom and vendor

The Lake Elsie Wedding Barn and Lady on the Lake B&B are hidden gems of North Dakota. We just wrapped up a wonderful wedding weekend and couldn’t be happier. Many thanks to Sandy, Robin and the entire team. Sandy and Marshall have recently made a considerable investment in the pavilion tent, the paved surface, and surrounding landscape. This worked well for dinner, even with a brisk April day. The dance upstairs in the barn was so much fun. Many memories made last weekend! Brian and I hope to return again, next time to relax and enjoy more of Sandy’s cooking. Maybe I’ll get that scalloped potato recipe out of her yet! 😉

Jon & Lydia's Day at Lake Elsie

What a beautiful day and what a beautiful venue! Our guests still rave about how fun the Lake Elsie Wedding Barn was for our wedding. The Barn has characteristic details that you won't get anywhere else. From the original brick walls, to the silo, to the tulle on the ceiling, it all ties together, pairing elegance with rustic charm. The crystal chandeliers and cafe lighting illuminate the Barn with a romantic glow. Beyond its beauty, the owners get an A+!! Marshall and Sandy were there at our beck and call to help move things, serve wine, and assure everything was flowing according to plan. We were so relaxed on our wedding day because of their attention to detail. In the planning process, Sandy walked us through our whole weekend -- from Friday night rehearsal to Saturday night last call -- we walked through it together and were able to envision our entire weekend before it played out. This was extremely helpful for my "type A" personality; we were all on the same page and the details were planned down to a T! Marshall was right there to assist in moving any decorating pieces and had a bonfire ready for us both Friday and Saturday nights -- another "hit" according to our guests! One of the best parts about our wedding package was that we, as a couple, and a few friends got to stay right on location at the Lady on the Lake Bed & Breakfast. We arrived Friday morning and I didn't leave the location until Sunday afternoon! Being able to stay right there was SO convenient! We love to relive our day over and over, and will always cherish the Lake Elsie Wedding Barn!
xoxo,
Jon & Lydia Stabler
