Our Story

2021

How We Met

It started with a chance encounter at Cosmic Coffee in Austin, TX — a conversation neither of us wanted to end. From that first moment, something just clicked, and the rest, as they say, is history.

2024

The Proposal

On November 2nd, 2024 — Jared’s birthday — at a concert for one of our favorite bands, Tycho, Jared got down on one knee and Lindsay said yes. A perfect night made unforgettable.

2026

Forever Begins

On August 1st at Pine Peaks Wedding & Event Center, surrounded by the people we love most, we begin our greatest adventure together. We can’t wait to share this day with you.

Dress Code & Theme

Semi-formal / cocktail attire

The ceremony and reception include outdoor spaces — comfortable footwear is highly recommended.

We’re envisioning an evening that feels like a hidden garden at midnight — rich, moody, and luminous. We’d love for guests to lean into the atmosphere with us. Coordination is encouraged but never required!

Primary

Deep, cool gem tones that feel mysterious and alive — dark indigo, navy, plum, purple, emerald, teal, and stormy gray.

⚠ Folks in dresses — please be mindful and avoid white/light silvers as a main dress color.

Accents

Grays & silvers make beautiful accents for all guests.

Wedding party is encouraged to accent with gold!

The Grounds

80-Acre Private Estate — Pine River, MN

Pine Peaks is nestled on 80 private acres of northern Minnesota pine country. The estate is draped in wildflower and perennial gardens, winding streams, ornamental ponds, and a bubbling rock fountain that create a naturally stunning backdrop at every turn.

Multiple outdoor ceremony sites are available, each centered on a handcrafted arbor framed by wildflowers and towering Minnesota pines. For a more intimate feel, the estate’s private woodlands offer a secluded cathedral of trees — the perfect setting to say “I do.”

On-Site Camping

RV, Tent & Car Camping — No Charge

Want to stay right on the property? Pine Peaks welcomes wedding guests to camp on the grounds at no charge — whether you’re rolling in an RV, pitching a tent, or sleeping in your vehicle. Guests are welcome to arrive as early as Friday, July 31st and stay through the weekend.

RV and motorhome sites include 30-amp power, water, and sewer hookups. Tent and car campers are welcome to set up in designated areas on the estate.

Don’t have an RV? PleasureLand RV Center rents locally and will deliver a travel trailer directly to Pine Peaks, set it up, and pick it up after the wedding. They offer a 10% discount for wedding guests at Pine Peaks — just mention the wedding when you book!
