Your Wedding Adventure…

Hosting an event, like your wedding, means so much more to us than just a business transaction or as a group of employees making a living. Our favorite thing about what we do is creating connections with nature, built around our shared interests and experiences with outdoor activities, rustic worldly food, and education while enjoying the history of the lodge and the surrounding region.

As such, the memories of your experiences at the Keweenaw Mountain Lodge will last a lifetime. We want you to look back on your experiences at the Lodge and smile, knowing that your fun, joyous, adventuresome married life started close to nature at the top of the Keweenaw.

Scheduling of Weddings 

We are very selective with the weddings that we host at the Lodge, including when we host weddings. In 2024, we will not be holding weddings from July 1st through September 6th and from September 24 through October 14th. During those dates, we focus on our main operations of lodging, outdoor activities, rustic worldly food, and education. For 2025, it will be similar periods of time that we will not be holding weddings.
