Any questions?
Boyne was a dream location for us to have our wedding. At first, I was a little worried about how we could transform the dated ski lodge cafeteria, but the wedding and events team worked tirelessly to accomodate our 300+ guests, making the ent...
ire weekend so easy and seamless. We had many guests remark at how nice the whole resort was, and how they couldn't wait to come back with their families. Ellen was amazing and answered every email, text, and call immediately and was on site days in advance to set everything up and make sure everything was perfect. As the bride, I wasn't stressed at all because Ellen handled everything! Wish we could go back and do it all again!
The staff at Boyne was amazing. No details were left uncovered. From the initial planning meeting til the end of the reception we had nothing to worry about. We were very impressed by how we’ll coordinated the various departments at Boyne....
They were all on the same page. I just wish we could have thanked each and every Boyne employee for making our special day just that Special!!
We booked the Country Club at Boyne Highlands for our Daughter's wedding in June 2019. The venue was absolutely perfect! All of the personnel were knowledgeable and extremely helpful. The entire event went off without a hitch and all of the ...
guests commented that it was one of the best weddings ever! the food was fantastic and the chefs were happy to add items to the menu in order to create a unique experience. All table setup and take down is included, but you can decorate to personal taste. Wonderful experience! We highly recommend this venue.
My husband and I had our wedding here this past July (2019) and it was nothing short of amazing. The staff was attentive and Jaclyn our wedding coordinator took care of all my request (even some last minute ones.) The pictures were stunning, we...
couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. We still have guest talking about how great it was! I would recommend the Highlands to anyone that wants a beautiful wedding up north.
Our wedding guests thoroughly enjoyed their stays at Boyne Highlands Resort! Booking and check in was simple and hassle-free, prices were reasonable, accommodations were excellent, and service and communication from staff was impressive. My hus...
band and I would highly recommend setting up a wedding block and/or booking a stay at Boyne! You won't regret it!
Stunning backdrop at the top of Kath Run, great price, and the event manager Ellen made it so easy. I just had to show up without worrying about anything.
The chairlift ride up and down were a fun and special
My daughter had her reception here in July. This was a beautiful wedding venue. Stephanie was outstanding and was our coordinator. She really made sure that everything was taken care of for us. I was nervous that everything would be set up t...
he way that we wanted and when we arrived from the church it was gorgeous! The entire staff was friendly and were great with all of our guests.
We wouldn't change a thing about our recent wedding at Boyne mountain. Our rehearsal dinner at the trophy room was fabulous. The ceremony at deed lake was magical juat as I thought it would be, and our reception at stein Erickson's was perfect....
The food was superb, the hotel rooms reasonable priced, and every single staff member was #1 in cuagpmwr service. My wedding day ran smoothly with the help of our event planner. She had the right mix of giving direction with letting me take my own direction. I would have my wedding all over again right at Boyne if I could.
I 100% recommend this venue for your wedding reception. We had our wedding ceremony outside on the lawn by the water and then guests went up to the patio for drinks until dinner started inside Sagamores and then we had live music and drinks ou...
t under the tent that lit with gorgeous white lights. Our guests were amazed by how good the food was! The serving staff was super friendly and attentive. Everyone loved the views and décor of the entire hotel. This place is wedding day perfection. We couldn't have asked for a better place! They exceed your expectations!
We are absolutely thrilled with our decision to have our wedding here. A gorgeous setting for a ceremony by the water, and a the reception space was perfect. Using Sagamore's for the dinner was great - it didn't feel like a banquet hall, rath...
er a dinner party with our friends and family. And having cocktails and dancing outside on the terrace let us take advantage of the beautiful setting. You don't need to bring in much decor since the setting on the lake is beautiful, and the dining room is nicely furnished. The staff was excellent and our event coordinator, Lindsay, was great - responsive, accommodating and helpful. It's not cheap, but it's well worth it!
I was married last weekend, October 25, 2014, and all events were held at Boyne Mountain. The rehearsal dinner was at the Beach House on Deer Lake. Our ceremony was on the beach at Deer Lake (perfect October weather) and our reception was in th...
e Grand Mountain Lodge Vienna Ballroom. Everything was perfect! Boyne Mountain staff was incredible, from the first phone call, site visit, planning stages, and wedding weekend. They are the highest caliber of professionals and I cannot recommend them enough! No detail was overlooked and the entire weekend ran seemlessly. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding, at a better venue. My highest possible praise and gratitude to each and every person who helped make our wedding a day one we'll never forget!
We had a winter wedding and reception at this site. It is so beautiful you really don't need much decoration! Our coordinator (Megan) was very responsive during the process and the hotel offers so many services, from helping with menu selection...
s and facilitating rehearsal you don't even need an additional wedding planner!
I would recommend this venue to any bride and groom because they truly delivered a lakeside dream wedding for us. One of the best features of The Inn at Bay Harbor is that you can have your ceremony outside and reception inside. However if it r...
ains, there is a great back up plan. Many other venues we looked at had to completely change the feel and set up of the wedding, if there was rain. Another awesome benefit to booking your wedding at The Inn is the wedding planner that is assigned to you and helps every step of the way.
We love this resort- have been there multiple times to vacation and were excited to have our wedding there. The location was fantastic and our pictures were amazing- ceremony right by the water.
Our Service was terrible!! The wedding planner...
they "assigned" to our wedding was rude, disorganized and scatter brained! I could not believe that was her job and she was getting paid to be that bad. I did complain to her boss right from the beginning- which did not help anything.
She also attempted to over charge us on our bill by $4,000!!!!! If i wasn't paying attention and second guessing everything she did- we would have paid $4,000 more!
THIS venue and staff made this the MOST STRESSFUL part of my wedding! I would NOT choose this place again if i could do it all over!
My wedding was on June 29th and the everything was perfect. The service was wonderful. The guest described the event as- timeless!
We had our wedding rehearsal dinner at Sagamore's, and it was perfect! The food was delicious and the company was very easy to work with. They prepared a special menu for our guests.
My daughter just got married this Saturday at the Inn of Bay Harbor in a beautiful lakeside lawn ceremony with her reception at Sagamore's, the lawn and the tented deck. We had been planning it for 1 1/2 years and have had nothing but positive...
experiences from sales (Brie - WONDERFUL), event planner (MEGAN - AWESOME) to the service staff at the actual wedding (PROFESSIONAL).
If you are considering it, you need to go up on a weekend and watch an actual wedding from afar. Stay at the hotel or the lakeside cottages and get a feel for the place. Everything else pales in comparison. The setting itself is so beautiful and breathtaking that you feel like you are in a fairy tale. Every guest that attended could not stop talking about it. It was truly magical.
Also, I have never heard so many compliments on the food that was served. It was definitely 5 star.
We plan on coming up every year to celebrate the wonderful day! The only complaint we had was that we had to leave!!
Inn at Bay Harbor - class act!!!
The Inn at Bay Harbor is the perfect place to get married. The Hotel and location is absolutely beautiful. The staff is friendly and extremely accommodating. The events coordinator at The Inn was very helpful with my planning leading up to the ...
wedding, and on the day of my wedding. They helped to make my day as stress free as possible. The food was amazing as was the service. I could not be happier with my choice of a wedding venue. Absolutely perfect!
I had my wedding reception at the Inn at Bay Harbor, and it was everything I dreamed of and more. It was a destination wedding for everyone in attendance and I was a little nervous about planning from far away. I worked with the Event Coordinat...
or, Ami, and she was so helpful and on top of things that all my worries disappeared. Our wedding reception dinner was inside the restaurant Sagamore's. The service was top of the line along with the food. After dinner everyone moved outside to a tent that was set up on the deck overlooking Lake Michigan. We danced the night away. :) Nearly all of our guests stayed until the reception was finished. I truly could not have dreamed of a better place! :)
It was so beautiful! We got married right on the water...it feels like a different world.
Boyne really went above and beyond to make my wedding extra special! The service was great, the lodging was very clean, and the food was always delicious! I would highly recommend going to Solace Spa too!
Wendy at Boyne was amazing!!! She helped organize everything. I had my reception at the country club of boyne and it was amazing! The rooms themselves were beautiful, the view and outside area were set up nice. Service was great. The only is...
sue was that the food was not as good as expected. It was actually way different from the tasting, but the guests still loved it.
We really wanted a venue where lodging was also offered. Boyne Highlands was everything we could have imagined. Although I was a bit skeptical about having our event in the blue / green room because of the really ugly carpet, we went with it ...
anyway. Our decor helped to camouflage the carpet and I didn't really notice it during the event. I loved that there was tons of space and nothing felt crowded. The food was awesome and we loved having stations during the meal. Best of all our guests only had to walk a few feet to their hotel room versus driving across town.
The rooms at Boyne USA are amazing. The staff are so helpful and kind. The Boyne USA is located in a very wooded area and its so cozy. One the best stays ever!
Aboslutely outstanding service!!! From checking in, to the spa, to the restaurants. Everything was absolutely perfect!
Perfect Location, Perfect Service, Perfect Wedding. I can't thank everyone there enough for all of their great work!
I don't even know where to begin. Our wedding was absolutely perfect in every way! Every single detail was amazing and everyone on staff at the Inn was wonderful to our family and friends! We even had guests who had just returned from Hawaii...
and they told us that they would rather travel to the Inn then visit Hawaii again! We truly had the time of our lives!
Thank you,
