A Timeless Northern Michigan Tent Wedding at the Perry Hotel in Petoskey

An August Michigan tent wedding at The Perry Hotel, planned with Partial Planning by a Northern Michigan wedding planner, this celebration reflects a refined balance of elevated design and thoughtful logistics.

Set on the hotel’s historic lawns, Icelyn and Mandela envisioned a wedding that felt classic, intentional, and rooted in place. Clean palettes, classic white and green wedding florals, and tailored details allowed the setting to lead, while a ceremony fully placed on grass and a tented reception required careful coordination behind the scenes.

Planned under Partial Planning, our role focused on layout feasibility, rental optimization, and guiding out-of-state vendors through the realities of Northern Michigan wedding logistics. From sightlines and guest flow to tent infrastructure and live music timing, every decision balanced aesthetics with real-world conditions, an essential approach for a tented wedding in Michigan.

The result was a seamless experience from ceremony through reception: timeless rather than temporary, considered rather than over-designed. This wedding is a clear example of how expert guidance elevates a Northern Michigan tent wedding while allowing couples to remain meaningfully involved!
