Welcome to Traverse City - the cherry capital of the world! If you're in the area for our ceremony, consider sticking around into the next week so you can enjoy all of the hoopla of this TC classic. Check-out the website for more info on the festival's calendar of events.

You can't go wrong with a day spent on the peninsula. Enjoy a few of our favorite spots:

Bowers Harbor Vineyard: Its a must!
