Your wedding morning sets the entire tone of your day, and your ready suites should feel like part of the celebration—not just the hours you spend waiting for the ceremony to begin. At Pines Black, we designed the 120 Lounge to give wedding parties a private, comfortable place to settle in, get ready, spend time together, and actually enjoy the morning. And one of our favorite things about it? If you didn’t know it was there, you might walk right past it.
The entrance to the 120 Lounge is intentionally discreet, with a door that blends right into the surrounding wall. This hidden entrance helps keep the lounge tucked away from the main areas of Pines Black, giving you and your wedding party a space that feels completely separate from everything happening outside.
Once you’re inside, there’s plenty of room to spread out, relax, get dressed, and spend those last few hours together before the ceremony begins. It’s your own little retreat in hidden in the corner of your wedding venue.
As we mentioned above, we wanted the 120 Lounge to be somewhere your wedding party would actually want to spend the morning. There’s plenty of comfortable seating and open space, so your group isn’t crowded into a small room while everyone gets ready. The lounge also features a pool table and golf simulator, giving your wedding party something fun to do between getting dressed, photos, and ceremony time.
Whether everyone is playing a round on the golf simulator, shooting pool, watching the morning unfold, or simply hanging out together, there’s room to make the morning your own.
One of the coolest features of the 120 Lounge is its connection to the 120 Bar.
The top portion of the door between the lounge and bar can open, creating a private service window directly into the lounge. That means your group can enjoy convenient access to bar service while still keeping the lounge private from the rest of the venue and your guests.
Grab a drink, turn around, and you’re right back with your wedding party—no need to leave your space and head out into the main venue.
Within the lounge are two separate private suites with their own private bathroom. Having separate rooms gives you flexibility throughout the morning; members of the wedding party can change privately, keep personal belongings organized, or simply step away for a quiet moment without leaving the lounge.
We’ve also equipped each suite with a steamer, so those last-minute shirt, suit, dress, or veil wrinkles don’t have to become a wedding-morning emergency. It’s one of those small details that you might not think about when choosing a wedding venue—but you’ll be very glad it’s there when the day arrives.
Coffee? Snacks? Water? Breakfast? You’ve got a place for it. The lounge includes its own kitchenette, making it easy to keep wedding-morning food and drinks organized and close by. Instead of bags, coolers, coffee cups, and snacks taking over your getting-ready space, you have a designated area for everything your group needs throughout the morning.
Good lighting makes a difference—especially when your photographer arrives. The 120 Lounge offers natural lighting that creates a bright, comfortable atmosphere while you’re getting ready and gives your photographer another beautiful space to capture those candid wedding-morning moments.
Buttoning up a suit. Helping with a tie. Opening gifts. Sharing a toast. Laughing with your closest friends before everything begins. Some of the best wedding photos aren’t posed at all, and having everyone together in a spacious, naturally lit environment gives those moments room to happen.
Wedding mornings come with a lot of stuff.Garment bags. Shoes. Overnight bags. Gifts. Food. Drinks. Flowers. Phones. Chargers. And, somehow, about 100 other things you didn’t realize you’d be bringing. That’s why space matters.
Rather than squeezing your wedding party into a small room, the 120 Lounge offers plenty of comfortable seating and room to spread out. Your wedding party can get ready, relax, play pool, use the golf simulator, grab something from the kitchenette, and enjoy the morning without everyone being on top of one another.
The hidden entrance is fun. The golf simulator is even better in person. And once you step inside, you’ll understand why the 120 Lounge has become such a special part of the Pines Black wedding experience.If you’re searching for a Fargo, ND wedding venue with spacious getting-ready suites, private bathrooms, bar access, a golf simulator, and room for your entire wedding party, we’d love to show you around.
