From the welcome party the night before on Sunset Beach, to the ceremony overlooking the marina, to finally dining and dancing late into the night with Lake Michigan in the background, Dakota and Billy’s day perfectly encapsulated the truly special experience that is a Northern Michigan Wedding.

Nestled in the heart of Holland, Michigan, where the charm of lakeside beauty meets Midwestern warmth, a recent wedding left everyone in awe of its stunning design, attention to detail, and joyful energy. From the breathtaking floral arrangements to the modern design with pops of citrus, this celebration reflected Alex and Jack’s love story.

Northern Michigan is home to some of the most beautiful wedding venues and the bluest of waters. Nestled right on Sleeping Bear Bay, is The Homestead – is a charming little ski resort.

Michigan is surrounded by four of the five Great Lakes and we are the stewards of the nation's longest freshwater coastline boasting 3,288 linear miles. With that much shoreline, you would think the amount of Michigan wedding venues on the beach would be plentiful, but painfully this is not so.

You couldn’t paint a more perfect Michigan day. Blue skies, toes in the sand, calm waters, and the lighthouse creating the perfect backdrop. Lake Michigan was for sure showing off its beauty for everyone.
