Northern Michigan Wedding Planner

This beautiful Bay Harbor wedding celebrated the unique story of Kelsey and Bryan, a couple deeply connected through hockey and family. Kelsey, who grew up in Canada where hockey was woven into her family’s life, met Bryan, now a Pittsburgh Penguins player, through mutual friends while in Pittsburgh. Their shared love for the sport and a warm sense of family made for a wedding filled with personal touches and thoughtful details.

Guests arriving at the hotel were welcomed with custom-made gift bags adorned with the couple’s crest. Each bag was thoughtfully packed with goodies, including Michigan mitten cookies and Canadian ketchup chips, representing both Kelsey’s Canadian roots and Bryan’s Michigan hometown. At the reception, Bryan had his own signature drink—a Michigan Moscow Mule garnished with Michigan cherries and a hockey stick stirrer, a nod to his passion for the sport. The couple even had Bryan’s hockey number inscribed in gold on each macaron, and custom hockey towels placed on each seat for a unique second grand entrance.

One of the wedding’s standout moments was the couple’s arrival by yacht for their grand entrance. This gave them a few intimate moments alone to reflect on the day before arriving at the yacht club, where they were greeted with cheers from family and friends on the terrace. The joy and love surrounding them on this special day truly captured the essence of Kelsey and Bryan’s journey together.
