The Wedding Website of Emily Niswander and Benjamin Lumpkins
We can't wait to celebrate with you in beautiful Northern Michigan! We love where we live, but we trade the remote location for longer travel distances to airports. We have compiled airport and hotel options to help make your planning easier. We also recommend early booking of accommodations due to the busy time of year up here. There are lots of hotels and air bnbs to chose from. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the area.

Travel time to Petoskey from the Cherry Capital Airport is approximately 1 hour & 40 minutes. This is our airport of choice when we travel but it does have limited flight options as opposed to the bigger cities.
