Ruttger's Bay Lake Resort

Our wedding planners will work with you on all the details that will make your wedding one-of-a-kind, including guest accommodations, food and reception planning. We can also assist you in finding local vendors such as photographers, musicians, florists, and DJs. A year ago at this time my daughter decided she wanted a fall wedding at Ruttger’s on Bay Lake where we have vacationed a number of times over the years. We envisioned a beautiful fall day with colored leaves, sunshine and fabulous food. On September 29, 2018 she got the fabulous food, but the rest, fall nature did not provide. It sprinkled and even snowed, but the ceremony went on by the lake. It was wonderful! Wedding guests talked about the event for months. A scenic northern Minnesota destination wedding at its finest. Say your vows on the shores of beautiful Bay Lake! Receive your guests on the deck overlooking Bay Lake with full bar service, hors d’oeurves, and snacks. Then, invite everyone upstairs for your reception with a delicious buffet or plated dinner served in a private banquet room. Ruttger’s Bay Lake Resort's indoor rustic charm includes log beams, stone fireplaces, and impressive and ever-present views of Bay Lake. Our upper-level ballrooms are ideal canvases for you to transform into your dream wedding or reception. Our 5,300-square-foot Island Ballroom will accommodate up to 300 for your dinner reception.
