We know that Northport is a bit of a drive for our guests and some of you might not be familiar with the area. For that reason, we've collected a list of local businesses and attractions for you to visit while you're here. Some of you may choose to wrap our special day into your Fourth of July plans and we think that's brilliant! In addition to the days surrounding our wedding, there will be a short period of time after our ceremony before our reception venue opens; explore this beautiful Northern Michigan village!
