Cynthia and Jim have been in love for a long time. Cynthia has been coming to Mackinac Island, Michigan since a baby with her family. She dreamed about having a fairy-tale Wedding at the Grand Hotel since she was playing with dolls. It all came true on this beautiful fall day in Northern Michigan on the porch of the Grand Hotel.

The beautiful Wedding flowers were designed by Margaret’s Garden at the Grand Hotel. Margaret’s Garden always does such a perfect job with their flowers.
Maria and John eloped to Mackinac Island, Michigan at Mission Point Resort for their Wedding vows at the gazebo on the lawn. It was a small, intimate Wedding with just Maria and John and the witnesses. The evening was perfect weather. Maria designed all her flowers and decorations. They are both from the Detroit area.
Manda from Mission Point Resort did a wonderful job coordinating the Wedding event. Both Maria and John were very happy with their choice for the Wedding ceremony. After the Wedding the couple went out on Mackinac Island in celebration.
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.
Reverend Pamela Klusack officiated the intimate Wedding on the porch at the Island House Hotel. She came all the way up from the Lansing area to marry this beautiful couple. The Wedding theme was a beach theme and the Wedding colors were cornflower blue and coral.
This was a beautiful day with Andrea and Nick. I was honored to be part of their day.
Andrea, the bride, sent me this wonderful email:
