Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Ellison Hoke and Anthony Ferrara

Traverse City has become one of the most meaningful places in our story and in the future we’re building! Set along Grand Traverse Bay, the area offers beaches, wineries and rolling vineyards, endless breweries, hiking, and a relaxed summer feel. Downtown’s historic Front Street has lively shopping, coffee spots, restaurants, and bars — giving Traverse City the perfect mix of small-town warmth and city energy. Just 20 minutes north is Suttons Bay, a quaint town with great coffee, unique shops, bike rentals, and access to the TART Trail. The popular Kayak, Bike & Brew tour is another fun way to explore the area. At the tip of Old Mission Peninsula, you’ll find lakeshore hiking trails and the Mission Point Lighthouse, or you can simply enjoy the Old Mission Wine Trail with views of the bay and vineyards. And of course, some of the best moments here are spent relaxing by the water. We hope you love this special place as much as we do!
