The Grand Hotel Porch Wedding

Wedding on The Grand Hotel Porch

Beautiful porch Wedding at The Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, Michigan in Northern Michigan.  Abbie and Gary were fabulous, beautiful, and perfect!  The day started out with heavy overcast and opened wide up for a bright sunny afternoon and evening.  The Wedding took place on the Porch of The Grand Hotel on the West end.  A large section of the Porch was reserved for the Wedding and the drinks and orderves to follow.  People were sitting on The Grand Hotel Porch watching the Wedding take place from a distance.

The Wedding began with a processional down the entire length of the Porch with the bagpiper Gregor MacGregor.  It was a fantastic show for everyone involved.  It brought tears to the eyes of the family as the bride followed behind in her beautiful white Wedding dress.  My hair on my arms stood up too.:-)

Marty Haines does a great job for The Grand Hotel as their Wedding Coordinator.  She was in contact with me and briefed me on everything as the day progressed.  Thank you very much Marty for your help and professionalism.  You can contact Marty by calling The Grand Hotel at 1.800.33.GRAND.

Kelly and her crew from Margaret’s Garden did just a perfect job on the flowers for the day.  Since this was an intimate Wedding the bride and groom had flowers for everyone attending.  Margaret’s Garden also did the centerpieces for the Pioneer Room dinner.  All of the flowers were fresh and they smelled wonderful!

Mission Point Resort Wedding | Mackinac Island, MI

Shelly and Dennis are a prime example of a couple in LOVE!  The Gazebo at Mission Point Resort on Mackinac Island, Michigan was the location of their beautiful Wedding.  It was just a perfect sunny day on Mackinac Island in Northern Michigan.

The Wedding Ceremony at the Gazebo at Mission Point was very beautiful and short.  It was just the two of them coming from Illinois for a fabulous elopement.  Everyone cried in attendance and the couple was just full of life.  After the ceremony a bottle of Champagne was delivered to the Ceremony location for a couples toast.

The Horse Drawn Carriage from Arrow Head Carriage Tours, Phone 906.847.6112, arrived right on time and pulled onto the lawn to pick up the bride and groom.  We had a wonderful cruise around Mackinac Island.  The downtown was electric with applause for the couple and we captured every moment of their time in the spotlight.  The white Wedding carriage with Arrow Head is a beauty and makes for a fabulous prop in the images.

Mackinac Island Wedding Flowers

The flowers at Mission Point Resort Gazebo Wedding were awesome and they were designed by Weber’s Floral and Gift on Mackinac Island, Michigan.  I would recommend Weber’s Flowers for any event.  They really do a great job.  Shelly’s favorite color is Red and she has beautiful, fresh red roses in both the Wedding bouquet and the boutinerre.
