“We had our wedding at Ruttger’s Sugar Lake Lodge in August 2007 and it was truly the most magical event that we, and our guests, have ever been a part of.  We set up a giant party tent on their beautiful grounds, our guests all stayed in the lodge and the condos, we swam, boated and ate the walleye sandwiches at Jack’s Grill.  We all had the time of our lives.  Yes, the lake is gorgeous, the lodge is immaculate, but the most incredible part of our experience was dealing with the staff.  They made all of our wishes come true with a wink and a smile.  If you are reading this and are considering Sugar Lake Lodge as a venue for your event, don’t hesitate!! BOOK IT! You won’t regret it!"
