One of my favorite places to visit every summer is Mackinac Island. I grew up going to the island every summer and after college spent a summer working at Grand Hotel as an Event Manager. My husband also proposed on Arch Rock so this little Island holds a special place in my heart! Elizabeth and her bridal party were pampered in Astor’s Salon while the guys celebrated with a drink at the Cupola Bar with panoramic views of the Straits of Mackinac and the Mackinac Bridge. Elizabeth and Onder shared their first look on the worlds longest front porch in the world and I just love they way he lit up seeing his bride for the first time.  After the Ceremony the couple trotted around this island on Grand Hotels 1900’s Victoria carriage. These Hackney horses are incredibly beautiful and FAST! Guest enjoyed cocktails on the front porch before heading into the the Theater for dinner and dancing. 

I just love planning Mackinac Island weddings and sharing all of my island secrets and expertise with my couples!
