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!

Hair and makeup was perfectly done by Astor’s in The Grand Hotel.

Congratulations to Alyson and Roger on their beautiful 6pm Wedding on Mackinac Island, Michigan.  The day literally started out with a bang with a loud thunderstorm moving over Mackinac Island and even taking out one of the beautiful trees in the front lawn and the entire computer system.

By the time the Wedding was taking place everything was dry and the sun was shining bright.  Everyone was happy and ready for a party at the Inn at Stonecliffe.

Thank you to all the friendly staff at The Inn at Stonecliffe for being so accommodating and to all of the family and friends who attended the Wedding with their smiles.  It was an event at the Inn at Stonecliffe to remember!
