Magical Weddings - 1.800.399.0403 www.theIslandHouse.com | - Island House Hotel
T      hank you for considering Island House Hotel on historic Mackinac Island for your
       upcoming special event. We are the third generation of our family to own and operate
Island House Hotel. Since saving the hotel from demolition in 1969, we have consciously
labored to preserve the historic charm of this iconic estate. We are proud to be Mackinac
Island’s oldest operating hotel and honored to be a State of Michigan landmark, as well
as one of few Michigan members of the Historic Hotels of America. A unique little-known
fact about the Island House Hotel is that we are the only hotel on Mackinac Island State
Historic Parks land with a portion of your hotel fee funding park preservation and projects.

Island House Hotel has accommodated many noteworthy events since it opened
in 1852. We are honored that your important event will soon become a part of
that history. We would be thrilled to host your special day and assure you that
we will do everything we can to make your event positively memorable.

Please let us know if there is anything that we can do to enhance your magical
Mackinac Island experience. It is our sincere hope that you will treasure your time here
and return to celebrate where your life together began for many years to come.
Yours Truly,

Island House Hotel Preservationists, Owners and Operators

TESTIMONIALS                    Our entire wedding weekend could
                                          not have been more perfect thanks
                                          to your wonderful staff and hotel.
                                          We look forward to returning each
                                          year to celebrate our anniversary.

                                          Hands down perfection! The staff at Island House Hotel made us feel
                                          like royalty during our wedding weekend. They were so courteous
                                          and welcoming! Our ceremony was on the front garden terrace
                                          on a Sunday afternoon in June. Nothing could have made the
                                          day more perfect. From the stunning landscape and water in the
                                          background to the sounds of horse hooves on the ground to the
                                          smells of fudge in the air, we loved everything about our wedding!

                                          My husband and I had our wedding reception at Island House
                                          Hotel and also stayed there, along with our family and friends.
                                          Everyone at Island House was wonderful and incredibly helpful.
                                          When the forecast showed rain, they offered to move our
                                          space for us and made sure we were happy with where we
                                          ended up. The food and service are top-notch. We can’t wait
                                          to come back to Island House to celebrate our anniversary!

                                          The Island House and 1852 Grill Room were perfect venues
                                          and hosts for all of our family and friends! I can't even begin
                                          to tell you how many compliments we received on the
                                          food, bar and service! “Best Wedding food ever!” We can't
                                          wait to come back year after year for our anniversary!
