Weddings & Celebrations
Built for More Than Weddings
Stewart Lodge and Stewart Slope host anniversaries, retirement parties, and family reunions the same way they host weddings — one rented space, indoor and outdoor options, and enough room for a crowd. The same pricing, layout, and rental items apply, whatever you're celebrating.
There's no reduced rate for a smaller gathering — a 50-guest retirement party and a 200-guest wedding rent the same space for the same $3,900.
What $3,900 Includes
- Stewart Lodge's Front Dining Room (about 30′ × 39′)
- The Side Wing (about 62′ × 28′)
- The Deck (about 109′ × 111′)
- Stewart Slope's flat grass area (75′ × 120′, weather permitting)
Seating comes with it: 29 round tables, 11 banquet tables, 8 cocktail tables, and 220 chairs.
Want to see how the room lays out? Check out the layout diagrams for round tables, round & banquet seating, and the outside deck.
Applicable sales tax additional.
May Through November — Our Green Season
Stewart Lodge hosts weddings, anniversaries, and other celebrations from May 1st through November 1st. The Slope's grass area works for an outdoor ceremony with the mountain as your backdrop.
Your $3,900 rental includes the Lodge's upper level, the deck, and the grassy Slope area together, so if the weather turns, you move the celebration inside without booking anything extra.

Outside Vendors for Your Stewart Lodge Event
Planning a wedding, anniversary, or family reunion at Stewart Lodge means lining up your own vendors for the pieces we don't handle in-house. This list covers what most events need — wedding and event planners, caterers, photographers, florists, cake bakers, rental companies, and entertainment, all based in or near the Black Hills.
This list is provided for your convenience. Terry Peak does not endorse, recommend, or receive any fee for using these vendors.
