16 Airbnbs in Marquette for your Upper Peninsula Michigan Elopement

Marquette, Michigan Airbnb Recommendations

One of the most fulfilling aspects of assisting couples with their dream elopement is providing them with lodging options. While booking from my suggestions is not mandatory, it is always a privilege to help couples find the perfect place to host their special day. As a wedding photographer, I have a particular fondness for elopements in Marquette, so I've put together this resource to aid those searching for a stunning location.

More and more couples are discovering that eloping doesn't have to mean a quick trip to the courthouse. It's about creating a day that reflects your passions and interests, whether that means spending quality time with just the two of you or with a small group of loved ones, surrounded by nature and doing the things you love.

That's where these amazing AirBnbs come in for your upper peninsula elopement. Whether you're looking for a cozy spot for just the two of you, or a place to host a small wedding in Marquette, these AirBnbs offer the perfect setting. I've handpicked some of the most scenic and picturesque options in the Marquette area for you to consider. I hope you find one that captures your heart!

You will want to check in with the Airbnb host and triple-check that events/gatherings are allowed. Most hosts might be okay as long as you are open and honest and maybe choose to have your ceremony elsewhere. It never hurts to ask!
