The rehearsal dinner on Friday is yacht club casual attire. Please wear your best beachy florals, khakis, linens, and lighter hues. Our wedding is summer cocktail attire. Think light suits and short or long summer dresses. Both events will be outside and the nights can be cool, so please bring a wrap or shawl if needed.
We love your little ones but we want our wedding events on Friday and Saturday to be a fun and relaxing night for all our guests, so we're keeping it adults-only. Please reach out directly for childcare recommendations from our local family. We hope you can enjoy a night off!
Due to limited space, we can only accommodate those guests formally invited on your invitation.
We have reserved a limited amount of rooms at the Hotel Earl downtown. Please refer to the travel tab for more details on the room block. Airbnb and VRBO are great options in Charlevoix, especially for groups. There are also several Bed and Breakfasts and Inns throughout town. Additionally, if you plan to drive to the events, there are more cost effective options outside of town. If you are planning to use the shuttle to the events on Friday and Saturday, please ensure your accommodations are within walking distance to Hotel Earl. We strongly recommend booking lodging early, as there is limited inventory and it is high season with the holiday weekend. Please reach out to Kasey with any questions, concerns or for additional options.
Yes, transportation will be provided from downtown Charlevoix to and from both the rehearsal dinner and wedding. Please arrive promptly as the shuttle will leave on time. More information to follow in the schedule tab of the website. Parking will also be available at both venues for those who prefer to drive. Note that the drawbridge goes up in town at the half hour and hour. Follow the signs for Sullivan/Arbogast wedding at Castle Farms, as there is a separate lot closest to where our wedding events take place.
This one is totally dependent on what you'd like to do! We'd recommend renting a car if you're interested in venturing up to Mackinac Island or Petosky for a day trip, golfing, visiting some local Charlevoix wineries, or Sleeping Bear Dunes. There's a lot to see and do! However, with the beach and shops in town, there is plenty to keep busy without one. There are private ride services such as Able Shuttle and Wonderland Tours & Transportation. Please note Ubers up north are limited and unreliable.
