As far as fun yet fancy places to have a drink and or a nice meal that will blow your mind look no further. This is hands down my favorite restaurant in Michigan. It’s probably the most authentic tiki bar outside of Hawaii Iv been to yet. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is mesmerizing. Honestly it’s like being in paradise. If we could afford we would probably have the reception here because it’s so fun. But not cheap for midwestern people. But worth every penny especially if you sit in the bar area. Side note- the s’mores are to die for. But a good tip would be not to have to much fun keeping the fire going once you finish the desert or a bartender may frown whilst taking away the plate. Anyways if you order the s’mores they bring you fire!!! Lol…
My favorite little bustling coffee shop in Grand Rapids. They have games and fancy drinks. This place reminds me of the LA city life.
One of my favorite camp grounds hands down.
It has many gorgeous views in this national forest full of many winding trails leading to Lake Michigan. There are even some camp grounds nearby a disc golf course. Definitely a fun place to see some waves and feel the breeze and maybe some nice wildlings.
A cute little vintage restaurant/bakery with a fun campy atmosphere. It has pretty good beer selection as well as grub. And if I remember correctly there is a nice big grassy hill next to the parking lot that is fun to roll down if you’re in the mood for something spontaneous. But I warm you it’s a little steep. But if I can do it so can you!
Iv always wanted to go, Iv heard nothing but good things about the garden as well as the events held here.
A beautiful shoreline right down the way from a cute beachy town with lots of fun restaurants to explore and things to do to pass the time. It’s the off season at the time of the wedding so most likely there will be less foot traffic. But still this is a fun place to explore with loved ones. There is a fun strip of artsy shops, old fashioned fudge and ice cream joints as well as many pubs and snazzy restaurants. Definitely a fun place to have a picnic on the beach, to laugh with friends or even take a stroll down to the beautiful pier at sunset.
It’s a fun artsy taco place with plenty of options to build your own tacos. The drinks are delicious and the atmosphere is full of abstract painted walls that look like your at a skate park. This restaurant/bar has a outdoor dining space that’s really cool. It’s also in the heart of the city with many things to do nere by like concert halls, upscale shopping, beautiful historic high rises and many fun places to explore the city life.
A fun park to walk and or take a mini break from the city. At times you can watch folks fishing for salmon on the rapids. It’s a little gem in the heart of downtown.
Concerts and shows. Definitely a good place to see a band.
A nature preserve that’s beautiful to explore the trails and wildlife
A beautiful place to go on a hike. Especially in the flower seasons when the flowers are sprouting about, the late summer when the lightning bugs are buzzing bright and in the autumn when the warm auburn leaflets start to dance downward to greet you with a special kind of magic.
My favorite book shop with a used book shop within it. Iv found most of my favorite gems in this shop owned by the kindest folk.
One of my favorite bookshops with a fun coffee shop that you can sit and enjoy the pages of your favorite read.
Probably the best place to find cute jewelry and cloths as well as gifts of Indian culture in downtown Kalamazoo. If you meet the owner he’s so very friendly and will probably remember me if you mention your in town for our wedding. Very friendly people with a great small business to support
A fun nerdy arcade bar with old school games and a fun nightlife for Kalamazoo locals. This is the place where me and Austin first met on Saint Patrick’s day 2024. We talked for hours, played the Jurassic Park game till we beat it and this is the place where he got a second chance to get the girl. This is one of my favorite local places to stop in play some games, go out for karaoke or to visit friends who work there, this is the place where the magic happens.
Nice restaurant, best Mac and cheese in town hands down.
A fantastic town to explore restaurants and art galleries
