Buffalo Point Resort

Some wedding destinations make a weekend feel like a true escape.

Buffalo Point Resort sits on the southern shores of Lake of the Woods, where sandy beaches, Canadian Shield landscape and wide stretches of water surround the celebration.

The resort specifically welcomes destination weddings, with the Resort Centre accommodating up to approximately 150 guests and larger celebrations possible with tented arrangements. Couples can choose from several scenic ceremony settings, including Island Green, Grandfather Trail and other outdoor areas around the resort.

That gives the day room to feel like more than a reception.

Guests can stay in cabins near the water.

People wake up already together.

The ceremony happens surrounded by nature.

Then everyone begins celebrating while the newlyweds step away toward the lake for photographs.

For a little while, there is only shoreline, open sky and the person they have just married.

Later, everyone comes back together.

Dinner begins.

The lake grows quiet outside while inside the celebration carries on.

And because people are already staying at the resort, the next morning becomes part of the wedding too.

For couples who want their celebration to feel like an entire Lake of the Woods getaway, Buffalo Point offers something beautifully simple.

Water, nature and more time with everyone they brought there.
