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

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! 😉

Lake Elsie is a stunning venue

Lake Elsie is a fantastic place for your special day. With a location right on the water, it is hard to imagine not having a perfect evening! Thank you Lake Elsie for being great.

I could not recommend them more!

The Lake Elsie Wedding Barn was the perfect choice for us! They had several packages to choose from each with different services and prices. Sandy was always very prompt with retuning emails or calls about any questions I had. She was like a wedding coordinator for me! The barn is beautiful and comes with some of its own decorations already set up. Sandy also has a variety of decorations for you to use rather than buying or renting some! Sandy and Marshall were both very attentive and really made me feel like they wanted me to have the best of everything!

Thank you so much for selecting us for your beautiful wedding. I just loved your Ritzy and Rustic style of decorating. Beautiful. We enjoyed being your wedding cordinator. Hats of to your mom and Al for putting on a great meal in our venue kitchen. Your mom is the best. We all had a great laugh when Marshall brought out the leaf blower to blow the dry floweres from everyone's hair after the ceremony. Thank you again for the opportunity to be your host and selecting Lake Elsie Wedding Barn for the most important day of your life. Sandy and Marshall

Thank you for selecting Lake Elsie Wedding Barn. We enjoyed being part of you and Koltin's wedding weekend. Getting to know all parents was memorable. What a great idea for the bridal party to have pontoon rides at the lake side venue. Many happy years.

Thank you so much Kelsey. So glad your day was great and Lake Elsie Wedding Barn worked so well for you and your familiy and friends. The use of the kitchen, providing your own food really helped you save instead of hiring a caterer. Thank you again for selecting us for your beautiful day.Sandy

This venue was everything and more! Sandy and Marshall are remarkable hosts. I can not say enough about how amazing our experience was! From the first initial email to the follow up, it was all on point. Our guests were blown away by the beauty of the venue and the hospitality of everyone who worked our wedding.
We will definitely be back to enjoy the gorgeous B&B!

Truly amazing venue!

This venue is absolutely amazing! The price was perfect and they have everything you could ask for and many things I didn't even know I needed! Marshall and Sandy were so kind and helpful! They were very flexible when it rained and we had the wedding inside last minute! I couldn't have asked for a better wedding at a more beautiful and perfect place!

Gorgeous barn, Dream wedding!

Wow, HUGE thank you for being the most kind, and understanding people to help me with my wedding. I am huge on cleanliness and everything was 100% up to par with my expectations. The barn was gorgeous, and the property was perfect for all my fairy tale photos I had in mind for my special day. The bed and Breakfast was perfect for accommodating all my family and friends for the night before my special day.. words can not express how smooth everything went, and how happy they were to work with every one of my demands. I HIGHLY recommend to all people who think about having their wedding here. Thank you again!!

Perfect in every way

Sandy and Marshal literally bent over backwards for us to make my daughters graduation memorable. The colonel was perfect in every way possible. The food(kitchen), bar, tables, space, setting was the most convenient having everything right their and accessible for us to use on our occassion. Not to forget the setting with the lake, gorgeous! Also, I have to add, that the handicap accessibility was a huge plus for our guests as well. Thank you Sandy & Marshal for making my daughters graduation everything she had dreamed for that day.

We enjoyed our 40th anniversary party in the Colonel Hankinson Historic Barn. Sandy and Marshall did all the work for us, from decorating, to making from scratch cakes. Marshall greeted everyone of our guests with his wonderful smile making us and them feel very comfortable. In the meantime Sandy was busy setting up a wonderful food line which every person complimented. All this in a beautiful historic setting, you won't find a better place to make good memories.

I highly recommend this venue for ANY occasion. Beautiful outdoor space, enormous indoor rustic with class. The owners are there to help every step of the way, and make you feel like family! My son was married here 10/21/2017. We all were overly impressed from start to finish. The ability to make a few trips there prior to the wedding to enable us the best planning was so convenient. When my other children get married, I will be highly suggesting this venue. Plus, the casino is only 10 minutes away, so stay an extra night at Lady on the Lake Bed & Breakfast, and enjoy a night at the casino!

Wonderful experience

Sandy & Marshal are excellent and very professional to work with.
Bride and groom can say their vows by the beautiful beach or indoors, you can have the caterer of your choice, bus available to take guests to and from motels. My husband & I along with the wedding party stayed at the Lady on the Lake and Sandy was so helpful and also served us delicious meals. Your guests will love this beautiful setting as we had so many compliments. This venue is very reasonable for all the options that are available. This place would be perfect for any celebration. Thanks Sandy & Marshal

I was the photographer for Tristan and Yadira's wedding on 9/28/19...it was a photographer's dream come true! I was able to capture exceptional images due to the beautiful venue. From the dressing rooms, to the ceremony, to the reception...everything was awe inspiring!

Would've been perfect

It would have been a perfect venue for us, if it weren't for COVID. My husband and I were long distance with our families in Kansas and Pennsylvania. We couldn't find a place that would accommodate our wedding party for a while weekend in either of our home towns, but this place had it all. We chose the Rhodium package and it included just about everything except the caterer for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The bed and breakfast on property is beautiful! The owners also have an inn in town which we were going to rent out for the weekend as well. They have a safe shuttle that will transport your guests all weekend! They offer some decorations and outdoor activities like kayaking as well. Sandy and Marshall were very sweet and when we took a tour, she made us lunch! If you're looking for a weekend escape with everything included for your wedding, please consider Lake Elsie Wedding Barn (formerly Colonel Hankinson).

The Marshall's were great hosts and helped make sure the festivities ran smoothly and the weekend would be one to remember!

You and your family did an amazing job planning, right down to the food your family prepared in the kitchen for the reception.
Thank you.

Very friendly and flexible. Still new in the business so some processes are non-existent and there was some confusion on a few things last minute but we worked everything out.
