THE WEDDING WEEKEND

As summer fades into fall, we’ll be getting married on the shores of Lake Michigan – a place that’s special to us both.

August 30th
It begins

As you arrive feel free to relax and explore the inn grounds. Check in is at 3pm; you’ll be shown to your cabin and have time to get settled in. We’ll kick things off with a laid back welcome dinner in the evening – a chance to say hello and enjoy some Italian aperitivo and pizza, in honor of Matt’s families heritage.

August 31st
Today’s the day

We’ll have a gentle morning, with plenty of time to relax, take a dip and get ready. The main event will be a celebratory seated dinner on the candlelit lawn. Wine and beer will be flowing and the chefs from a nearby restaurant will prepare a delicious meal with dishes reflecting the local seasonal produce.

September 1st
The debrief

A perfect day to unwind – join us for a farewell brunch on the lawn and an optional beach day at Lily’s favorite secret beach in the afternoon.

a place that’s special to us both.

Over the course of the weekend, we hope you'll discover new moments to cherish here: whether it’s the soft air and gentle breeze rustling through the dune grass, the monarch butterflies dancing in the afternoon light, the bursts of yellow goldenrod, or the crystal-clear water, warmed by the last days of summer. We can’t wait to be in this beautiful place with our closest family and friends.

When’s the big day?

Please join us for Labor Day Weekend 2025 – August 30th to September 1st.

Where will the wedding bells ring?

At Anchor Inn, a beautifully restored inn just outside of Traverse City in Northern Michigan.

Where can we rest our heads?

There’s plenty of room at the
inn for everyone – we’d love to have you stay with us for the whole weekend.

What should we wear?

Think sun-kissed flowers, wide open skies and golden hour on the lake – flowy dresses, summer suits, and whatever makes you feel your best.

Our home for the weekend

Tucked away behind towering pine trees and nestled next to an apple orchard, Anchor Inn has 13 private cabins. The lawn is perfect for dozing in the August sun or stargazing by the fire pit, warmed by late-night bonfires. We’ll have a private beach with a dock, kayaks for exploring, and plenty of trails for hiking through the surroundings.

A beautiful coincidence

Lily’s parents stayed
at the inn in 1990.
