Where To Stay

We recommend staying in St. Joseph, Michigan, a lovely little beach town on the shores of Lake Michigan. It’s about 25 minutes from the venue, and we’ll have shuttles pick-up/drop-off in St. Joe on the day of the wedding. Have a larger group? We also recommend checking out Airbnb or Vrbo to rent a home for the weekend in St. Joe or nearby town, Benton Harbor.
