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 2010 Mackinac Island Wedding season is about to begin. The weather has been everything but normal this year. Last year the snowmobiles were still running today and now there isn’t but a hint of snow on the ground. We have already seen 80+ degree temps that have broken records too. Who knows what the weather will be like this year. Hopefully it will be just a bit warmer than last summer on the island though.
Paul Retherford Wedding Photography (Me) is still available for Wedding Photography commisions on Mackinac Island. I have a handful of Weddings booked this year on Mackinaw Island and I will be happy to book some more Photography sessions and Weddings. I capture Weddings, trash the dress, fash the dress, family, pet, engagement, senior, lifestyle and whatever else you can think up. I have had everything from simple headshots all the way to a large Wedding on Mackinac Island, Michigan.
