Hotel Iroquois on the beach

Just a short walk from all of the Mackinac Island ferries is a Wedding location on Mackinac Island called Hotel Iroquois on the beach.  You can elope to Mackinac Island, get married right on the water, in a nice landscaped lawn, and then have a reception at a beautiful restaurant with windows that wrap all the way around the building and provide tons of light.

Elise and Thomas did just that last week.  They came up to Mackinac Island from their home in Tennessee and brought family with them to get married on an Mackinac Island.  There were twelve total family members that attended the Wedding Ceremony and Wedding Reception at the Carriage House at the Hotel Iroquois.  The clouds were rolling through but the weather held off long enough for them.

The Wedding Vendors for the Hotel Iroquois Wedding on Mackinac Island, Michigan in Northern Michigan were:

The bride and groom had their flowers completed by Weber’s Floral and Gift. The bride and groom took a 1.5 hour horse drawn carriage ride around Mackinac Island with Me following, and leading, on my bike.  The Wedding was catered by Mission Point Resort on the outdoor patio near the bocce ball court.  The bride and groom played crochet and bocce ball.  There was a cocktail hour under the tent which was set up for the occasion.   Bella e Dolce completed six custom cakes for the Mackinac Wedding tables. They were beautiful and delicious!
