We would like our guests to stay nearby and to enjoy an authentic, "up north" experience. For these reasons, we've blocked off several cozy units for our guests at Interlochen Center for the Arts, just a 7-minute drive from the venue! Most units include two queen beds in a shared bedroom, as well as a sleeper sofa in the living room. Space is limited, so reservations will be given on a first come first serve basis. We encourage guests to coordinate with others to share a unit, when possible.
We will be arranging a shuttle between the Interlochen lodging units and the wedding reception. More information on shuttle times and pick-up location to come.
If you'd prefer a more traditional hotel experience, the Courtyard Traverse City, located just 15 minutes from the venue, has offered our guests a 15% discount off the normal hotel rate at the time of booking. Please see below for more details.
There are several other hotels located in Traverse City, 15-30 minutes away from the venue. Please be mindful that ride-sharing options may be limited, and no shuttle service will be provided from the Courtyard Traverse City or any other TC-area hotels.
