About South Haven & Linden Hills

South Haven is beautiful beachside town in Western Michigan that booms with tourism in the summer. Here you'll find everything you need - hotels, restaurants, grocery stores, bars, beaches, a marina - and our reception location. Our ceremony, however, will be at a smaller residential community 10 miles south of South Haven called Linden Hills. This quiet, lakeshore community has been a summer haven in the Smith family for the past 115 years.
