The Lodge at Monarch Valley Weddings
The Lodge at the venue is included in the couple’s wedding rental—so the couple decides who stays in the Lodge (usually the wedding party).
RV/Camper Parking & Tents
The couple has a limited number of RV/Camper and tent spaces to assign to guests—please inquire with the couple.
RV/Camper spots are within the main parking lot so a Friday arrival is suggested to maneuver into spots easily.
RV/Campers and tent campers will need to sign a liability waiver. Tents are no cost. RV/Campers are $50 per weekend with electric hook up (water fill is available upon advanced request).
If preferred, Riverside Memorial Park and Campground is just a 7 minute drive from the venue, right on Lake Henry in Blair. This park has water and electric, fishing, a swimming pool, courts for multiple sports, and picnic areas. Please inquire with the city of Blair well in advance.
Restrooms & Accessibility
Full accessibility can take extra planning. If you have concerns, please reach out to Monarch Valley Weddings.
Our venue is a mix of washed gravel parking lots, concrete, pavers, grass lawns, and polished concrete indoor floors.
The main restrooms are inside of the Pavilion. There is an single bathroom in the Banquet Room. The main bathrooms (located inside of the Pavilion) have accessible stalls.
Pets
We are friendly towards well-trained pets. However, it is completely up to the couple which pets they would like to invite. Please inquire with the couple if you are looking to bring a pet along. Or, consider keeping your pet 7 minutes away at Sandy’s Pet Grooming/Boarding.
