#DestinationDuluth: how to get your Tropical Beach Wedding in Duluth, MN!

Summer is on all of our minds right now.  And there is a lot to love about the tropical beach wedding.

Just picture the sun on your face and the sand between your toes.

Ahhhhhhhhhh…………

 

But there are some things about it that can be tricky as well.

Like traveling,

asking your family to travel,

asking your guests to spend money on the traveling,

narrowing down your guest counts,

planning an additional after-party for those who didn’t get to go,

etc.

 

So, how do you get the fun, destination wedding feel but at less cost and with fewer complications?

????

Oh, you knew it was coming!……..

Destination Duluth!  That’s how.

Think about it….

Duluth is a fun place to spend time!

We have a giant, beautiful lake that kinda looks like an ocean!

We have lots of beaches, too!

Despite popular belief from other areas of the country that it does not, in reality the sun does shine here and it does get very warm!

But then there is this phenomenon where although we spend all winter wishing for warmer wether, once it hits 70 we. need. air. conditioning!

 

 

So how do we get Destination Duluth, beach wedding, AND indoor air conditioning?

 

Here’s are just some of our ideas:

 

Have a popsicle bar.

 

Iced Tea & Lemonade Stations.

 

Margherita Signature Drink, anyone?
