Bay Harbor is a wedding venue offering beautiful ceremony and reception locations nestled along a five-mile Lake Michigan shoreline in Petoskey. It’s one of the only locations in northern Michigan with a private beach. We provide exceptional wedding coordination services, on-site lodging accommodations, and the perfect escape for you and your guests as you enjoy the festivities of your beautiful day.

Bay Harbor’s Sunset Beach provides the ultimate fairytale setting to bring your wedding dreams to life. Say “I do” among the backdrop of the crystal blue waters of Lake Michigan. We are one of the very few venues in northern Michigan that offers a beach ceremony option. Sunset Beach can accommodate up to 250 guests and embodies the casual up-north elegance that is truly Bay Harbor.

For a truly unique experience, there is nothing quite like Bay Harbor’s Observation Platform. The bride and groom and their guests have unobstructed views of passing sailboats and yachts as your backdrop. Accommodating celebrations of up to 200 guests, the panoramic views are unparalleled in northern Michigan.

Our outdoor reception venue just steps from the Village at Bay Harbor and Bay Harbor Lake Marina. Enjoy fabulous sunsets and stunning views of the magnificent homes and yachts around Bay Harbor Lake. As our largest reception venue, the Marina Lawn holds up to 300 guests.

Our Village venue, Elevation is the only indoor option for your celebration. There’s also a furnished lobby that is ideal for cocktail hour. The oversized bay windows display a beautiful view of Main Street in the Village.

We also offer on-site suites and vacation home rentals for your guests that sit atop a charming Village with twinkling lights that illuminate at dusk. We are truly a beautiful and unique wedding destination like no other.
