The preppier the better. ;) Semi-formal - suit/tie or blazer/khakis for guys, evening or cocktail dresses for the ladies. Feel free to rock the heels for the ceremony, but pack some wedges/flats. There will be grassy areas around the reception and our dance floor is on the deck.
We love your kids—we really do. But we want our wedding to be your night off! Please leave pets and children at home.
Check out our Travel & Accommodations page for all the info you need. The ceremony is a 5-10 min walk from the hotels. After the ceremony, shuttles will be provided to the reception and back to the hotels at the end of the evening.
We recommend staying at the Harbor Lights Resort, right on the Lake Michigan beach. We have a room block under "Ecclestone/Sadowski" and that is where the shuttle drop off will be at the end of the evening. And is a 10 min walk to the ceremony. Another recommended hotel in the area is the Hotel Frankfort, just 3 blocks from the Harbor Lights Resort. The end of night shuttle will also do drop offs to this hotel. You are more than welcome to look into other options in the area, but be aware that there isn’t Uber up here!
Short answer, yes. But depends on what you’d like to do! Downtown Frankfort (where our hotels are) is full of walkable shops and restaurants. That being said, we recommend having a car to best maximize your time and adventuring in the area. Sorry, no Ubers. The ceremony at First Congregational Church is just a short 5 minute walk from the Harbor Lights Resort. Then we will have shuttles between the ceremony and the reception and the reception back the resort at the end of the evening.
