Andrea and Nick are Married in an intimate Wedding at the Island House Hotel porch on Mackinac Island Michigan. This Wedding location is beautiful overlooking the Mackinac Island harbor and steps from downtown and all of the ferry lines.  Very easy location to find and have family from out of town attend the Wedding ceremony and reception. The porch is very nice.  The Island House Hotel also has a gazebo for Weddings in the back.  Carol is a wonderful Wedding coordinator and she will make your Wedding run smoothly.

Get Married at Hotel Iroquois on Mackinac Island, MI

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:

Webers Floral and Gift ~ Wedding Flowers
