Wedding Scheduling

Menu selections and wedding planning can commence one to three months prior to your wedding. All arrangements with your wedding vendors (i.e. photographers, musicians, etc.) should be finalized before this meeting. Your Catering Manager will need a list of all vendors complete with addresses, cell phone numbers and a contact person.

Outdoor Wedding


In order to ensure a successful wedding, Stein Eriksen Lodge will reconfirm the weather for your evening wedding by 2:00 p.m. that day. Due to our fluctuating weather, if the weather report predicts a 40% or more probability of rain for the afternoon or evening, a temperature below 65 degrees, or wind gusts in excess of 15 mph, your outdoor wedding will be relocated to your inside backup area. For breakfast events, the weather call will be made the prior evening; for lunch events, the weather call will be made at 7:00 a.m. A client requested delay resulting in a double set-up will be assessed a service charge of $10.00 per guaranteed wedding guest.
