An intimate, design-forward setting for couples who want a meaningful, visually refined wedding experience without the scale, stress, or complexity of a traditional event.
Not every couple wants a large wedding. And not every meaningful moment needs a full production.
Borealis Bison Barns provides a private lakefront setting designed for simple, intentional elopements. Everything takes place in one location, so your day stays focused and uninterrupted.
This is a self-directed experience. We provide the space and structure, not full-service planning or coordination.
No pressure. No overproduction. Just a setting that supports the kind of day you actually want.
Each offering provides access to the same private lakefront property, with different ways to use the space depending on your needs.

A curated micro-wedding experience with space for both ceremony and a small, meaningful celebration in a setting that feels cohesive and elevated. Host your ceremony, spend time with guests, and transition naturally into a relaxed reception, all in one place.
Packages include private access to the property, ceremony and gathering spaces, and use of the barn as needed. Vendors, rentals, and services such as photography, florals, decor, and catering are not included.
*Tables, chairs, décor, catering, and coordination available through outside vendors.
One of the biggest advantages of Borealis Bison Barns is the ability to keep everything in one place.
Many couples choose to stay on the property, hold their ceremony, and celebrate without traveling between locations. This creates a more relaxed, immersive experience and allows you to fully settle into the day.
Wake up where you will get married. Take photos without leaving the property. End the day without needing to transition anywhere else.
