Mackenzie and Jonathan had the sweetest Minnesota North Shore Micro Wedding at Bluefin Bay Resort on Lake Superior. This blog feature is living proof that you can accomplish a beautiful destination wedding in just 3 hours of time if you focus on the things that truly matter… the ceremony, food, and sunset photos on Lake Superior!!
What was your favorite part of your North Shore Wedding?
Our favorite time of the wedding day was walking down “the aisle” together, right after our first look, to an instrumental version of Pure Imagination.
Why did you choose to host your wedding at BlueFin Bay on Lake Superior in northern Minnesota?
We spent many months trying to pick a place to get married and struggled to agree on one, going back and forth on so many. We even discussed eloping or having a small destination wedding in various different states. During our initial research, BlueFin Bay Resorts kept coming up at the top of the list because it was beautiful and local. We wanted most of the logistics taken care of without too much coordinating on our end. BlueFin Bay had everything we needed in one location – the ceremony and the post-dinner reception, with catering already figured out. After months of trying to plan, we wanted everything to be as seamless as possible. After all, we wanted it to be about the marriage and family and friends, not the stress!
What made you decide on a micro-destination wedding on the North Shore?
We wanted to have our closest family and friends all come together for an intimate mini vacation in northern Minnesota, complete with beautiful Lake Superior views and hiking trails.
Any tips or advice for engaged couples?
The day goes by really fast and it may not go as planned, but you’ll be there with the one you love, which is all that matters.
