First Wedding at Sleeping Bear Inn?

Please meet Christina and Aaron who are getting married on the front porch of Sleeping Bear Inn this October and we believe this could very well be the first wedding to take place INSIDE the Inn ever! We know there have been weddings outside the Inn and vows have been renewed, however this could be a first. If someone knows differently, please let us know.

Although the entire Inn renovation will not be complete by October, the front porch will be and we are grateful it will be the venue for the wedding ceremony of this terrific couple. Sleeping Bear Inn certainly is not a typical wedding venue and probably will only be a fit for creative couples wanting something small and less traditional.

Aaron and Christina are Northern Michigan natives and after both spent time living out west, they met after returning to the Traverse City area around the same time, Aaron from Montana and Christina from Colorado. Both have a mutual love for wilderness and water. Whether camping, hiking, sailing, snorkeling, or skiing, spending quality time together in this beautiful area is one of their favorite pastimes. They feel fortunate to live in their little log cabin near the lakeshore with their sweet puppy, Bonnie. The couple feels incredibly honored to be a small part of the history at the Sleeping Bear Inn, a building Christina has admired for many years and we are very happy to be able to be part of their special day.
