The Wedding Website of Cassandra Arsenault and Michael Basch

Thank you for traveling all the way to Michigan to celebrate our love! We are so excited you chose to celebrate with us. We encourage everyone to book flights and lodging accommodations as soon as possible. Lake Leelanau is a beautiful place that is very popular. Our wedding weekend is still considered high season. Also, we encourage people to rent cars to get the most out of this weekend. There is no Ubers and Lyfts readily available. Lake Leelanau is about 36 minutes from Traverse City.

Flight

Massachusetts Travelers

The best and most cost effective way for our Massachusetts guests to get to our wedding is to travel on JetBlue from Logan to TVC (Cherry Capital Airport, Traverse City). This is the only direct flight. The only caveat is there is only one flight on Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. If you can join us Thursday-Sunday we highly recommend that. Go directly to the JetBlue website to book this. All other airlines (United, Delta, and American) do not have direct flights, and they are very costly. We highly recommend booking early and now. If you decide to fly to Detroit and then drive it is about 4 hours and 23 minutes.

Hotel

AirB&B

We highly recommend if you are a family or know a group of friends also attending our wedding to rent an AirB&B on Lake Leelanau. In fact, we have one group of friends that has room for two people in their AirB&B. Just talk to Mike and I and we can help with accommodations if anyone feels stuck.

Hotel

The Leland Lodge

565 Pearl Street, Leland, MI 49654

This hotel has the most availability. However, this is a very popular spot in the high season, so if you think you can attend our wedding we would suggest booking at your earliest convenience. Leland is an amazing, magical place, but there are only so many hotels. As of today, sixteen rooms and all three cottages are available. The room rates are based on the length of stay. In September, weekends are considered high season. This hotel does not offer Saturday night only rates. Rates for three nights stays are significantly lower than rates for two nights.

Hotel

Falling Waters Lodge

200 A Avenue, Leland, MI 49654

This hotel said they may have availability open up in May, but are currently booked for our wedding weekend.

Hotel

Fountain Point Resort

990 South Lake Leelanau Drive, Lake Leelanau, MI 49653

This hotel is right on the lake! It is a bit more of a "camp" and "cabin" vibe, but people who stay here have said they have an amazing time.

Hotel

Whaleback Inn

1757 N. Manitou Trail, M-22, Leland, MI 49654

212-256-9090

We encourage everyone to book early if you know you are coming to our wedding. Hotel rooms and house rentals go fast once the spring comes. Our wedding weekend is still considered high-season.

Flight

Ohio Travelers

It is about a 7 hour and 48 minute drive from Cincinnati to Leland. This may be a great option if you want to have your car with you. The festivities start on Thursday so once you arrive the fun and relaxation will begin! We are hoping to make your travels well worth it! If you want to fly the majority of flights seem to come from American and Delta. There are United flights, but less options. They all seem to have a stop in either CLT, DTW, or ORD. I haven't found any from CVG that fly direct.
