Becca and Ben's Wedding 2026

HOTEL. MOTEL. HOLIDAY INNNNNN.
Our venue (The Pasture ND) is about a 35-minute drive from Grand Forks. If you’re looking for the perfect stay at a hotel, here are some of our recommendations:

1. BOUGIE LUXURY
   Olive Ann Hotel – In the heart of downtown and within walking distance to everything. And it’s, like, so pretty.
2. FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT
   CanadInn – If you have littles, Splashers of the South Seas waterpark comes free for all guests.
3. VALUE
   Hampton Inn & Suites – It’s clean, and spiffy, and on the retail side of town so if you like shopping centers, pick me.
4. CLOSEST TO OUR VENUE
   Hillsboro Inn – We have it on good authority that they keep this place neat and tidy and ready for guests. There’s no website, though, so you’ll have to give them a jingle.
   

EARN YOUR MERIT BADGES
If you’d prefer some s’mores over the fire pit and sleeping on the cold, hard ground, hey… we admire the grit and definitely don’t think there’s anything wrong with you. And we’re here to give you some recommendations, too:

1. BOUGIE CAMPSITE
   Red River State Recreation Area – In the heart of downtown. Yes, seriously. It’s located right along the Greenway – a 21-mile river path and it feels like you’re deep in nature… even though you’ll be within walking distance of a movie theatre.
2. HIKER’S HAVEN
   Turtle River State Park – sure, this’ll add on to your venue drive just a hair, but the scenic bridges, quiet forests, and natural prairie grasslands are worth it. Plus, it’s where we became exclusive boyfriend and girlfriend, so you’ll sort of be in camping in our love story.
3. CLOSEST TO OUR VENUE
   Hillsboro Campground (and Laundromat?) – What can we say? Small towns have character and you probably need clean clothes. It’s just 18 minutes away from our venue.
4. GOLFER’S PARADISE
   Larimore Dam Campground – if you want one of the most peaceful golf courses right next to the nearest “beach” in Grand Forks County, this is the gem for you. It’s also right down the road from Turtle River State Park.
5. ONSITE DELIGHT
   The amazing owners of The Pasture ND have said you can bring your own RV onsite, if you’d like. There’s no hookups, but you’ll be comfy and won’t have to drive after the pahr-tay. Email or call me if you want to do this because advance notice is required.
