UpNorth Social Tasting & Grazing Room

07/12/2026

Some celebrations stay with you long after the event ends. 🩷

We recently had the pleasure of creating a baby shower spread for a family celebrating the upcoming arrival of a very loved little girl. During the planning process, they shared that she would be the first baby girl in the family, making the day even more meaningful.

From the soft blush palette to the charcuterie-filled BABY letters and vintage teacups, fresh salad station, mini chicken salad croissants, and styled mimosa bar, every detail came together to create a warm and welcoming afternoon for family and friends.

Creating spaces where people can gather, celebrate, and make memories is one of our favorite parts of what we do. Wishing this family so much joy as they begin this beautiful new chapter. 🩷

It's the kind of day Crosslake does best. ☀️

Warm sun, a breeze off the water, and everyone finding their way outside and to the lake, which usually means nobody wants to be stuck in the kitchen.

That's exactly what our grazing boards are for. Each one is built by hand with artisan meats, cheeses, seasonal fruit, and thoughtful accompaniments, arranged and ready to go. Order ahead, and it's waiting for you on your way to the cabin or lake.

Whether you're hosting friends this weekend or just making the most of a beautiful afternoon, we'd love to be part of it.

Some events start with a menu.

This one started with a vision.

When Maddy and her mom came into UpNorth Social for a tasting, they shared their idea for a "Fresh Off the Market" bridal shower. From our very first conversation, it was clear that every detail mattered. The food wasn't meant to simply sit on a table. It was meant to become part of the overall experience.

As we brainstormed together, ideas continued to evolve. Traditional charcuterie cups turned into custom market baskets. A grazing board became a house-made whipped cherry goat cheese canvas. Fresh produce, artisan cheeses, thoughtful styling, and beautiful little details all came together to complement the incredible work of everyone involved.

Looking back through these photos, I'm reminded why I love creating custom events. It's about so much more than the menu. It's about listening, collaborating, and helping bring someone's vision to life.

Maddy, thank you for trusting UpNorth Social to be part of such a beautiful celebration. Your kind words after the event truly meant the world to me.

And a special thank you to Aspire Creative Co. for capturing the day so beautifully. These photos tell the story better than words ever could. 🤍

She's played sold-out shows in Nashville. The New York Times called her music "ready for radio." And on Tuesday night, she's playing right here in Crosslake.

Paige Rose is the real deal, country rock with the kind of voice that stops a room and we are thrilled to have her back for a second time! If you've seen her before, you already know. If you haven't, this is your moment.

She'll be performing outside in our front lot and it's looking to be perfect summer weather. Pour yourself something cold from the tap wall, grab a snack or meal, and let the night take care of itself.

Shows like this don't come around often in Crosslake. Come early, get a good seat, and get ready for an incredible Tuesday night. Extra parking available in the back of the building.

We can't wait to see you there!!

Sunday was a perfect day for a wedding on the Whitefish 💙

We had the pleasure of being part of Parker & Hailee’s beautiful lakeside celebration at an absolutely stunning home.

We started the day with a family lunch featuring our house-made chicken salad croissants, then returned to create a grazing table for cocktail hour, along with a special sweetheart board for the newlyweds.

Everything came together so effortlessly, from the setting to the details, and it was such an honor to be a part of it.

Cheers to Parker & Hailee 🥂
