We live in northern Michigan and I'm having the hardest time finding a place that is more unique or that we could make unique to our tastes. It's even more the fact that we are really trying to find something affordable!

We want to stay in the Petosley, Harbor Springs or Charlevoix area (please don't reccommend Castle Farms) where we can bring in our own caterers as my fiances father owns a catering company and will save us a ton!

I guess my big question is and I apologize if you see this post in another forum topic but I don't know where to post it.... Anyway I am just curious as if any of you out there know of any really neat places that allow offsite catering but aren't so expensive we can't afford anything else! Indoors or out. No churches necessary.

Thanks so much!

I totally understand where you are coming from, my fi and i had a difficult time picking a location as well!

To be honest though, you question might be best suited for the Michigan board, where ther brides are from your area, here everyone is from different places! Good Luck!

We are having an outdoor wedding with the reception inside a local community center. It was definitely the most affordable place that would allow us to bring in our own food/drink/etc. They provide the tables and chairs so all we have to do is jazz it up and put our stamp on the place. Might want to look for a center in your area or maybe a firehouse that rents out for events. Good luck!
