The Peninsula Room

This venue was fabulous! There is an outdoor lawn area that allows for guests to sit outside near a fire and play cornhole and such, but also have a great indoor area for dancing and food. There is also beach access and a dock for your guests to go out on. I loved it!! There is... Read More a restaurant on site, but everyone was very friendly and stayed in the restaurant and didn't bother the wedding. Food was incredible! My only warning was that the event planners do have a bit of the Traverse City mindset and it takes usually a week for a response to emails, though phone calls are usually quicker. If you're getting married in TC, this is something you will find with most vendors, so don't let it steer you away! I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful, but still relaxed venue!

Plain and simply put, this place is absolutely amazing. Everybody that my wife and I worked with the entire time through the entire process were nothing but helpful and accommodating to us and our needs. With any large event, you would expect at least something to go... Read More wrong...even just the smallest thing. Nope! Our day was perfect. No errors, no mistakes, nothing went wrong. It rained all morning but even the weather cooperated and the sunshine came out right as we started the ceremony. The Space: The room really has that country/modern feel to it tied together. The room is so nice, actually, that you aren't forced to do much decorating at all, which was one of the big reasons why we went with The Peninsula Room. Air-conditioning for summer events as well and an outdoor area around the build that is really beautiful. The Food: out of all of the weddings I've been to, I have to humbly brag that our food has been the best. The chicken, pork tenderloin, and steak all came out perfect - we had so many compliments on the meal which is exactly what we wanted after spending what we spent on a plated dish. The Booze: Pay for the booze - your guests deserve it. Great craft beer, craft spirits, and high quality wine for 4+ hours. What more can you ask for? The Area: I mean, breath-taking views of the Bay. The outside of their building/grounds are covered in flowers, trees - everything is well taken care of and groomed. It's just a really nice space that can't be beat with the spectacular view. The Communication: Whenever we came up with any questions, I shot an email to their event coordinator, Kate, who was very helpful. It was a pleasure to work with her and I appreciate all of the help she put into making our special day perfect. Her responses were quick and accurate, and after a small mix-up very early on in the planning process, they were nice enough to discount the price for us. All-around great group of people to work with and would highly recommend The Peninsula Room to anyone.

We had an incredible experience on our wedding day, October 8, 2016. This was a destination wedding and we truly were blessed with great vendors! Kate handled all the planing and coordination of our event from our tasting, menu selections, to helping mitigate the wedding itself.... Read More We couldn't have done it without her and the wonderful staff at The Peninsula Room. All my questions were answered without hesitation, and we were able to have special requests accommodated. Jolly Pumpkin holds a very special place in our hearts so we couldn't have imagined getting married anywhere else. We were engaged two years prior and shared our announcement from the very place we got married. This is a once in a lifetime event that I will never forget and the venue was beyond perfect. It's beautiful, and filled with wonderful staff. You won't regret getting married here. It truly takes your breath away. We can't wait to come back to Old Mission to this very special place. It was amazing!

This was by far the worst venue I have ever been to!!! Myself, my fiancé and my in-laws drove 3 hours to come visit this venue and when we got there we were told the the event planner was running late. We said ok and had a seat and a drink while we waited. Two hours later the... Read More event planner came to our table, did NOT apologize for being two hours late and proceed to tell me that all the information is on there website and walked and talked to another group that she was there for! I have never been more insulted and treated poorly in my life and will not allow it to happen to any other bride!!!!! If you want to have a horrible experience and be over charged for every little thing then this is the place to go! Otherwise STAY AWAY FROM THIS VENUE!!!!!

There are not enough praises I can sing for the beautiful facility and wonderful staff at The Peninsula Room. As a Traverse City local who grew up going to birthday dinners at Bowers Harbor Inn, it's always been a special place to me, and the whole setting--the inn's history,... Read More the natural beauty--perfectly captures the magic of northern Michigan that I wanted to feel around me on my wedding day. We're an international couple, so we had over 25 guests joining from Europe, and they were all enchanted by the fantastic view, the charming rooms, the excellent food, drinks, and service, and the overall feel of the evening that this unique venue provided. We wanted to give them Traverse City at its finest, and we certainly did. Because I live in Europe now as well, I knew I wanted to choose a venue that was "all-inclusive" to make planning easier, and we couldn't have made a better decision in choosing this spot. Kate gave us a wonderful tour and tasting about 8 months prior to the wedding, and she was always so timely and helpful in our email and telephone correspondence. I don't know how she does it, remembering all the details for so many weddings--she's truly some kind of wizard! We showed up earlier than expected the day before the wedding to decorate, and Kate still managed to have all of our tables set and the room ready for us. Thank you! On the day before and day of our wedding, the staff was so friendly and helpful, and they do so much throughout the evening that you don't even notice to keep the day running smoothly and keep the guests happy. It was such a relief to be able to enjoy my day and know that the event was in such professional, organized hands. And, the food is amazing! I got so many compliments on it-- people who were so delighted to finally taste fresh, local, gourmet-quality food at a wedding. For the overall quality, and the uniqueness of the place, the Peninsula Room really is the best value in the Traverse City area. I would recommend spending the extra on having the cocktail hour on the front porch (the setting and view are priceless), and also I'm so happy we decided to go with a Friday wedding, as we not only saved money, we were able to decorate the day before since there was no wedding that day, which saved us tons of time and stress on the wedding day. Overall, everyone was so accommodating and helpful and I couldn't recommend it more. Thanks so much to the entire staff! We'll be back next year to celebrate our anniversary at your beautiful site. :)

We went through Mission Table and the Peninsula Room for our wedding ceremony/reception on 7/16/16. We had amazing service! We booked through Barbara and our communication from then on was through Kate. They are very helpful and communicate great! Very professional. Kate is... Read More always available from months leading up to the event, to the day of and even the following day. I couldn't image our wedding being anything other that what it was. It was a beautiful backdrop for the wedding ceremony, and the reception went off without a hitch! The food was great, the bar was awesome and the service was amazing. I can't say enough good things about them! Truly helped make our dreams come true! Highly recommend!!

The Peninsula Room

Gorgeous setting and friendly accommodating staff. The food was actually really tasty, they have an amazing assortment of cider & beer that is all locally made. They have an amazing outdoor area with a stone fireplace and covered deck for a cocktail hour. You can have lawn... Read More games. It was really perfect. My only complaint would be the lack of a dressing/waiting room for the groom/groomsmen. The women get hooked up with a great room to prep in.

Made my Perfect wedding day!!

They were amazing!! The staff went above and beyond with everything. The venue was perfect in every way. They knew what to do, when to do it even before we did. I have never seen a more professional team. They truely made my day stress free and perfect!

Rehearsal Dinner

My wife and I were getting married here the next day so we hired the Harbor Room and it was fantastic. It is a beautiful room, the food was excellent and the service was very good. It was a very special evening.

Beautiful

We had our ceremony here and it was beautiful! The sun cam out just in time! We had no problems at all with the venue. We did only have the ceremony here so I cannot say how the reception service was. However, my husband said they had great beer!
