Weddings

A venue like no other

Bay Harbor is a beautiful wedding destination nestled along Little Traverse Bay with a variety of venues, endless lake views and a Village offering boutique shops, casual dining and specialty services. We also offer on-site lodging which consist of both our Village Suites and Penthouses and our Vacation Home Rentals, just steps from the special event venues. The Bay Harbor staff will provide you with excellent service and be available to always answer all of your questions concerning your memorable event.

From the privacy of a ceremony on Sunset Beach along Lake Michigan – to the feeling of being “on top of the water” at Observation Lookout your ceremony will truly be something spectacular. Our lovely reception venues include a spectacular outdoor reception on the Marina Lawn or indoors in Elevation, our ballroom venue, located on the second floor in the heart of the Village at Bay Harbor.

We celebrated the most magical day here thanks to the amazing team. We held a small ceremony on Sunset Beach for just our immediate family. I knew we chose the right venue from the moment that I reached out to Carolyne inquiring about it (I might add as our plans changed and the kind Bay Harbor team accommodated us very last minute). Our day was pure perfection and everything we could have asked for.

We absolutely loved this venue! We planned our wedding in a very short amount of time and it smoothly came together! xoxo

The venue is beautiful, and particularly great if you are looking for a venue where your guests can stay on site.

Just wanted to thank you for helping make our day perfect. Thank you for everything and for witnessing for us. Everything was wonderful and you were a pleasure to work with!

Thank you for helping make our wedding day so special.

Amazing customer service!! I was there for my wedding and had such a wonderful time, we plan to come back every year for our anniversary we loved it so much! Thank you again! I will recommend to everyone!

Wow! Sunset Beach in Bay Harbor is INCREDIBLE if you are looking for a venue on the shores of Lake Michigan. We toured with Carolyne, the manager, who was extremely responsive, informative and truly a complete joy to work with before, during and after our event. She spent a considerable amount of time with us reserving our date for Sunset Beach, coordinating hotel rooms for our (300) guests and even securing The Loft space (a location on property in the Village) for our group to “get ready”. Our wedding ceremony on Sunset Beach was private, completely picturesque and one of the most memorable moments of our special day. The Bay Harbor Village staff worked seamlessly with our event planner and other vendors to ensure the day went smoothly. Our guests are still talking about how absolutely beautiful the Village and ceremony backdrop was. We couldn’t be more happier with our experience and Bay Harbor!
