Wedding at Castle Farms in Charlevoix

Kellie and James were a couple that wanted to keep things as simple and stress free as possible in planning their wedding. That was one of the reasons they chose to get married at Castle Farms in Charlevoix Michigan. A venue such as Castle Farms is just perfect for that type of celebration. Everything can be done at one location. Kellie and James choose the Knights Courtyard for their wedding site. The couple opted not to have anyone stand up with them. Instead they walked down the aisle together. They exchanged vows in the outside courtyard in the presence of the intimate group of family and friends that had gathered.

The courtyard gave us a great spot for photos of family and friends after the ceremony. From the courtyard we moved into the Knights Castle for a great evening of celebration. It was our pleasure to be part of Kellie and James’s special day.

Good luck in the future.

Wedding at Crystal Mountain Resort

Courtnee and James married at Crystal Mountain Resort/ Michigan Legacy Art Park

Crystal Mountain, located twenty eight miles southwest of Traverse City, Michigan, is a wonderful place to have your wedding. The resort offers many options for your celebration. You can get married up on top of the mountain, down by the pond, or on the lawn by the gazebo. This past year they have added a new choice, The Michigan Legacy Art Park. Your guests stroll along a woodland path where sculptures and art work by various Michigan artists have been installed. A short way up the path brings them to the amphitheater where wedding ceremonies are held. It was this wonderful rustic and natural setting that Courtnee and James exchanged vows.

Before joining their guests in the Northwest Ballroom, our groom and his groomsman made a side trip to one of the resorts most fun attractions. The giant Tube Slide. The ski lift takes you to the start and it is all downhill from there! We certainly enjoyed our time with Courtnee and James. Best of luck in the future.
