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.

Ashley and Dan traveled all the way from St. Louis, MO to find their dream destination Wedding location on Mackinac Island, Michigan at the Inn at Stonecliffe.  It was an intimate Wedding with 25 family and friends on the lawn at The Inn at Stoncliffe.  The Wedding reception took place on the patio overlooking the Straits of Mackinaw and the Mackinac Bridge.

Ashley wore an Allure Wedding gown and her Mackinac Island Wedding flowers were completed by St. Ignace Greenhouse in St. Ignace, Michigan. Wedding hair on Mackinac Island by 7th heaven salon.

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:
