We’re thrilled to share some insider tips on finding the most stunning outdoor wedding venues in Minnesota. And let us tell you, there’s one gem that has captured our hearts – that is Catalyst by Nature Link venue!

Imagine a dreamy location on the shores of beautiful Clark Lake in Nisswa, MN. Catalyst is the newest wedding venue on the block, having opened its doors in September 2022. Trust us, it’s the kind of place that will make you want to pinch yourself to check if you’re in some kind of paradise!

What makes Catalyst so special? Well, let’s break it down for you:

Nature-Infused Luxury:

Catalyst blends modern luxury with the serenity of nature. When you step onto the property, you’ll instantly feel the stress melt away. It’s the perfect ambiance for couples to unwind and create beautiful memories. As photographers, we love venues that offer diverse backdrops for those perfect shots. Catalyst has you covered with both indoor and outdoor ceremony options. Plus, there’s a separate reception room, so no need to worry about any room flips!

Picture-Perfect Backdrops:

The venue overlooks Clark Lake and even boasts a private island! Talk about breathtaking scenery that’ll take your couple’s photos to the next level. You won’t have to worry about lugging your gear around either. Catalyst has thought of everything! They’ve got private vendor rooms where you can store your equipment and even enjoy a delicious dinner. And with large restrooms and a coat room, everything is designed for your comfort.

Party Ready:

Catalyst can handle up to 225 guests for both indoor and outdoor ceremonies. That means you’ll have plenty of room to work your magic and capture all those precious moments. The oversized prep-kitchen with a built-in buffet/serving table is a photographer’s dream. And did we mention the indoor/outdoor/lobby bar with three service windows? Cheers to photographing some epic candid moments!

Little Details Matter:

Catalyst believes in taking care of the small things, like an ice dispenser for your use, bar glassware, and even a dedicated venue manager (and facility manager if alcohol is served). All of this ensures a smooth and delightful experience for everyone involved.

And the cherry on top? Two different ceremony sites – one tucked under the trees, offering a cozy and intimate atmosphere, and the other indoors, for those who prefer a more refined setting.

We can’t say enough good things about Catalyst by Nature Link venue. If you’re looking for a venue that caters to both luxury and nature lovers, this is the place to be. So, pack your gear, and get ready for a wedding photography experience like no other. We promise you’ll leave feeling creatively inspired and grateful for the opportunity to capture love amidst such a magical backdrop.
