    For cake, definitely check out Johan's Bakery. I am having my cake done there. They don't have a website, but you can call at any time to get more information.

    They are super affordable and willing to work with you to give you what you want. Plus, their cake is amazing! I have had several cakes done there, from birthday cakes to an anniversary cake for my grandparents, and have yet to be disappointed.

    I would recommend Aunt B's Cakes and Desserts located in Lake Ann... that is near the Traverse City area. As for florists in that area, that is difficult. Are you opposed to looking into people in the Grand Rapids area? I know there are several florists who will travel...

    Look in Traverse City for vendors...all will travel to Petoskey for your wedding, as they are used to that. Just google "Traverse City weddings" and you'll find many vendors to choose from...you could also look in GR, as was suggested, however you'll probably end up paying a lot for their travel time. I also agree that you should look at Aunt B's for your cake. Ann is amazing and very talented.

    I got married at the Perry last summer. We used all local vendors, and we were thrilled with each of them.

    For the cake, we went with Bella e Dolce. We were on a tight budget, but we ended up with a beautiful and delicious cake. We were very impressed. We met with the people at Johan's, but they came off as kind of unprofessional, and while the cake was good, it didn't taste nearly as great as the samples we had from Bella e Dolce.

    For flowers, we used Nature's Garden. Mary there is fantastic.

    I had my hair, makeup, and nails done at Bay Harbor. It's a bit pricey, but they do a great job. That salon was actually my only real option, since our wedding was on a Sunday and the other salons in Petoskey were closed. There are a bunch right downtown though.

    If you're getting married in Petoskey, I highly recommend going with local vendors. When you have high-quality, reputable, and experienced vendors right there in town, why look anywhere else? You'll just have to pay more for them to travel, and to me it seems kind of a waste to not use local vendors. There's a good sized wedding industry in the Petoskey/Traverse City, and one big plus is that the vendors are all used to working together. Our florist and cake place had worked together countless times, for example, so we didn't have to worry at all about coordinating the flowers that would be placed on the cake as decoration. And the people at the Perry are used to working with the local vendors, so using them will help make things run more smoothly.

    Hi... I might be too late to respond, but you are meeting with the best!  Jennifer at Bloom's is amazing and Kim at Bella e dolce works cake miracles.  As far as hair/ makeup contact La Dolce Vita.

    Congrats!

    Kingsley Cakes are amazing, and very nicely priced at $3 dollars a slice, and they also gift to you your aniversary teir.

    BJ's Catering is pretty nicely priced and has a lot of options.
