The Boathouse for Lakefront Views and a Beautifully Manicured Lawn

About The Boathouse Wedding Venue

Details of the Grounds

The Boathouse on Lake Charlevoix, situated on 400' of pristine lakefront, offers an unforgettable backdrop for your special day. The manicured lawn is an ideal setting for an outdoor wedding ceremony, while the indoor space boasts large windowed doors that provide stunning panoramic views of the lake and downtown. Enjoy complete privacy in our exclusive wedding venue, where you and your guests can revel in the comfortable atmosphere and beautiful scenery.

Photography Opportunities

I would highly recommend starting with the lake for your wedding! The lake offers stunning panoramic views that are perfect for taking wedding photographs. If you have your own boat, you can even park it right next to the venue to create more beautiful photo opportunities. There are luscious, green lawns for you to explore and get creative with your photos. Additionally, there are several nearby parks and a fun general store that doubles as an Airbnb space, which makes for some great photo locations.

Wedding Details

The venue can accommodate up to 200 guests and features round guest tables draped in white linens and Hercules Chiavari chairs. It is located on Lake Charlevoix with picturesque views and a manicured lawn. There is a covered porch with sides and portable heaters for a cocktail hour and six large windowed doors that can open for an open-air feel. There is also a glamorous dressing room for getting ready.
