Glamping Elopement Inspiration | Minnesota or Destination

    Forget the traditional wedding venue and head to your favorite destination in the United States with this Glamping Elopement package brought to you by Xsperience Photography and White Loon Events. Camping has always been a favorite past-time for outdoor enthusiasts, but until recently, it has been overlooked as a wedding day activity. Instead of spending thousands of dollars on a building and food for hundreds of people, this kind of couple chooses pretty scenery for their backdrop, nature as the decor, and simplicity at its finest.

    What is Glamping?

    Glamping is where stunning nature meets modern luxury. Yes camping in itself is cool, but your wedding day deserves to be a little more luxurious than any other camping adventure you’ve ever experienced right?! Plus, how nice to just show up and have everything set up and ready for your relaxation and enjoyment. No need to pack a truck full of gear or spend an hour setting up a tent. Not to mention the whole process of taking down then tent, packing up the gear again and then unpacking once you get home. With us, You literally just get to show up and enjoy life…and each other!!

    Tell Us About this Minnesota horse ranch featured here…

    Located in Central Minnesota between St. Cloud and Brainerd, is this beautiful horse ranch on 80 acres. After a few turns off Highway 371, you will find yourself heading down a gravel “minimum maintenance” road. That’s where the feeling of seclusion sets in. Then you drive past the Flicek Stables farm house and horse barns and find yourself on a hill overlooking rolling hills, popple trees, quarter horses grazing, and the occasional deer, turkey or bear “oh my”. It’s the most serene setting perfect for nature lovers and an intimate wedding adventure.
