FAQs
Question
Where should we stay?
Answer
We HIGHLY recommend everyone stays on Boyne Mountain property. Booking through Boyne Mountain gives you access to kayaking, paddle boarding, chair lift tickets, the shuttle, and more. While you're more than welcome to book through AirBnb and VRBO, just know those complimentary services will not be available to you if you do. If you would prefer to stay off property, Boyne City and Walloon Lake are both great options that are just a short drive away from the resort. Click the link under the "Travel" tab to access our special group rates at the resort.
Question
Will the wedding take place indoors or outdoors?
Answer
Both the ceremony and reception will be held outdoors. As we all know, Michigan weather can be very unpredictable and mornings and evenings could potentially be a little chilly. Women should consider bringing a wrap, sweater, jacket, etc. for the evening hours of the reception if the weather shows for cooler temps.
Question
We're coming in from out of town, what airport should we fly into?
Answer
OPTION 1) Cherry Capital Airport (TVC) Traverse City - 1 hr from resort. OPTION 2) Capital Region International Airport (LAN) Lansing - 2 hr 45 min from resort. OPTION 3) Gerald R. Ford International Airport (GRR) Grand Rapids - 2 hr 50 min drive to resort. OPTION 4) Detroit Metro Airport (DTW) Detroit - 3 hr 45 min drive to resort.
Question
Can we bring our kids?
Answer
We politely request that the ceremony and reception will be an adult-only event. Due to this event being outside and on the water, we care most about safety and not having to stress about any unsafe situations. Thank you for understanding!
Question
HOW WILL WE GET FROM OUR ACCOMMODATIONS TO THE WEDDING VENUE?
Answer
If you're staying on Boyne property, the ceremony and reception will all be a short distance from you - even walkable for some. There is a parking lot next to the venue and across the street. All wedding-day events will be ON Boyne property. The Boyne shuttle will be operating on a loop to various stops around the resort (The Grand Mountain Lodge, Mountain Cabins, etc.) and can take guests down to the venue and back home at the end of the night.
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
We would love for our guests to dress up with us! Our wedding will be a formal affair. Gentlemen are encouraged to wear a suit and tie, while ladies can opt for a floor-length gown or formal cocktail dress. We can’t wait to celebrate with you! Please note the wedding will be outdoors and on the grass. Ladies, it would be best to wear a block heel.
