FAQs
Question
Do I have to stay on the Island?
Answer
No, but you will need to leave the party a bit early to make sure you make the boat back to Mackinaw City or St. Ignace. Please note the ferry dock is at least a 20 minute walk from venue. We recommend you leave at least 35-40 minutes prior to your ferry departure time.

For our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, we request Garden Cocktail Attire. All other events are casual. Dress Code Inspiration can be found here: https://pin.it/6LZQaFJSF

Question
What will the weather be like?
Answer
We are currently expecting a low around 60 degrees F and a high around 80 degrees F. Weather is very unpredictable on the lake so there is always the chance of surprise rain! We appreciate any thoughts, prayers, or magic spells you can spare to influence our big day to stay dry!
