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.

The beautiful flower design was by Webers Floral on Mackinac Island.

The Mackinac Island Wedding horse drawn carriage was Gough Carriages and driver John who is awesome.

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:
