House Or Rental

Please reach out to Casey if you are interested in renting any of the Airbnbs/VRBOs! If you are planning to arrange your own rental, we recommend booking as soon as possible, as these tend to get reserved well in advance of the peak months (June-September).

Things To Do
The Cove & Fishtown
Our favorite restaurant in Leland, and a must visit whenever we come to town. We recommend that you at least get the Whitefish Pâté, but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu! After your meal, stroll through Fishtown and the various shops in the old fishing shanties.
Van's Beach
If weather permits, we highly recommend taking a stroll on the beach and soaking up some of the last summer sun of the season! Hunt for Leland Blue rocks as a souvenir to bring home as well.
Clay Cliffs Natural Area
An easy loop hike near Leland that leads you through the woods and dunes out to a large bluff overlooking Lake Michigan.
Aurora Cellars
One of our favorite wineries on the peninsula! Aside from their great wines, ask for a blend of the Heirloom and Cherry ciders; it's a favorite of ours, as well as their Pinot Noir.
Suttons Bay
If you are looking for more shopping or dining, we recommend visiting the Village of Suttons Bay! Just 15-20 minutes from Leland, this quaint town has lots of adorable shops and eateries, and is also located right on the Grand Traverse Bay, with a nice beach walkable from downtown if you want to take a dip.
MAWBY Sparkling Wines
If you like bubbly, this is a must visit.
Suttons Bay Ciders
A favorite stop of ours for great cider and amazing views of the Grand Traverse Bay.
Grand Traverse Lighthouse
One of the oldest lighthouses on the Great Lakes! We highly recommend stopping in Northport on the way there or back as well to stroll through town and grab a bite.
Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore
If you have a car and a few hours to spare, we highly recommend making the trip to Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes! There are plenty of trails in the park, but if you are just driving through, Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive is a must, and go to the Stop #9 overlook. This is the famous 500 foot sand dune overlooking Lake Michigan.
FAQs
Question
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
Answer
The ceremony will be outdoors on the lawn of the Old Art Building, and dinner will be under a tent on the lawn, while the rest of the reception and dancing will be indoors at the Old Art Building. The weather in Northern Michigan can be a bit unpredictable this time of year, so we suggest bringing a light jacket or shawl for the outdoor portion of the day, just in case!
Question
What time should I arrive for the ceremony?
Answer
We ask that everyone arrives to the venue by 4:00-4:15pm in order to get seated and comfortable for the 4:30pm ceremony start.
Question
How do I get to and from the venue?
Answer
For guests staying at the Leland Lodge or the various other options right in downtown Leland, the OAB is within walking distance (5-10 minutes max). There is also parking nearby the OAB for those who wish to drive to the event.
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
The dress code is cocktail attire; we recommend dress pants and jackets for men, midi/maxi dresses, jumpsuits, or dressy separates for women. Since the ceremony and dinner will be on the main lawn of the Old Art Building, women may want to wear block heels or short/flat heels due to the soft grass.
Question
What if I have a food allergy or dietary restrictions?
Answer
We will work with our caterers to ensure everyone's dietary restrictions are met, please be as detailed as possible in the RSVP when asked about dietary restrictions!
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
While we love your little ones, we have chosen to make our wedding an adults-only occasion, and ask that you leave your children at home. We hope you can still join us for the special day!
