Travel to Mackinac

The Wedding Website of Allie Jensen and Michael Luciani
Please book your Mackinac Island travel ASAP! Coming to Mackinac Island is a journey. Our hope and recommendation is that you will make a long weekend (or longer) out of the trip. If you are flying, Pellston (PLN) is the closest airport. You can book a shuttle straight to the Mackinaw City ferry dock. Other local airport options are Traverse City (TVC, 2 hour drive), Detroit (DTW, 4 hours), and Sault Ste. Marie (YAM, 1 hour to St. Ignace ferry dock). If you want to carpool from an airport, here is a spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UYxz7qisZJ1TkYjsWZAROJBA2q_tcA5NAGKnD2MWg7c/edit?usp=sharing You will then take a ferry to the island. This requires that you arrive at the dock while boats are running, and the last boat typically departs around 9 PM. Make sure to consider this and potential flight delays when planning. Finally, you'll take a horse-drawn carriage to your hotel. Welcome to Mackinac Island!

Travel Note

SHEPLER'S FERRY

Use code "LOVE24" to buy discounted tickets. The ferry is a 15 minute ride from either Mackinaw City or St. Ignace. Be sure to check the ferry schedule when you are planning your travel! Ferries typical depart every 30 minutes, but if you miss the last boat you will have to wait until the next day to get to the island. Parking Options: Day Parking: FREE (off-site) Standard Parking: $25.00/night (off-site) Premium Parking: $45.00/night on-site at the dock (gate ticket required for entry/exit)

Flight

Local Airports

Pellston Regional Airport (PLN) is the closest airport. Call ahead to reserve seats on the Mackinaw Shuttle (231-539-7005) to get from the airport to the ferry dock. Other options are Cherry Capital Airport in Traverse City, which is 2 hours from the ferry docks in Mackinaw City; the Detroit Airport, which is 4 hours from the ferry docks; or Sault Ste. Marie, which is 1 hour away. If you're planning on flying into Detroit (or another local airport) and driving up to the ferry docks and want to carpool with other guest(s), please email wedding@allieandmichael.com for help coordinating. It could be a fun way to meet someone new!
