We reserve our ceremony spaces for those couples who host both the reception and ceremony on property. Our estate provides unparalleled ceremony locations. Our great lawn will provide your guests an opportunity to sit among our majestic trees while enjoying stunning views of the West Grand Traverse Bay, Power Island and Bower’s Harbor.

The grounds, the shoreline sunsets, the gardens, the stone patio and firepit of the Peninsula Room provide the perfect setting for your reception. Your guests will enjoy the patio and perennial gardens surrounding it during your cocktail hour. As your reception continues you and your guests enter the Peninsula Room for an incredible farm-to-table dinner. After dinner, you can dance the night away until your carriage arrives at midnight, Cinderella!

Guests chair rental
Use of Genevieve’s Suite prior to ceremony
Ceremonies are held on the front lawn (exact location to be determined by Event Director in consultation with host). When hosting a ceremony, the wedding party may use Genevieve’s Suite, which has mirrors, vanities, & nearby restrooms prior to the ceremony.
Outdoor ceremonies require the re-routing of customer traffic. We are happy to do so for the duration of the ceremony, 5 minutes prior and for 5 minutes after. Outside of these parameters, other guests will have access to the driveway.
The Peninsula Room is used as a rain alternative (accommodates up to 150 quests).
Outdoor ceremonies must conclude by 5PM.
