The dream wedding venue

We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience at Delamar! From the moment we first toured the property, we knew it was the perfect place to celebrate our big day. The waterfront ceremony was absolutely breathtaking, and it created the perfect backdrop for our wedding event.

The staff went above and beyond from start to finish and Susan was an absolute gem, helping us plan every detail with such care. On the day of the wedding, everything ran smoothly thanks to their expertise and attention to detail. We really felt like guests at our own event!

Our guests are still raving about the ambiance and the exceptional service. The space was beautifully set up, the transitions between the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner were seamless, and the entire evening felt magical.
We’re so grateful for the memories created here and would choose it again in a heartbeat!

Best Venue in Traverse City

Delamar is the best venue for a wedding in Traverse City, Michigan hands down. Susan Scoby and her team (Kim, Erica, Kirstin, and everyone) will take care of every detail. From our first meeting, Susan was professional, and confident. It was clear she had a vision for our wedding, but also, she had plenty of room in her vision for our input as well. Throughout the year leading up to the wedding, I had many questions, and anxieties for the team at the Delamar. They never lost patience with me. They were very calm, professional, and responsive. If I had a question, they had an answer. They were excellent at meeting with us or taking a phone call and helping us figure out the smallest of details or the biggest worries. We all worked together tirelessly for over a year to put together a wedding that was right for us. On our special day, it all paid off. Everything was stunningly beautiful and perfectly executed. The food was bountiful, and delicious. The drinks were over the top scrumptious as well. I could not have asked for a more perfect night to celebrate our love. It was just amazing in every way. I have never been treated so well in my entire life, and I probably never will be again. Everything was perfect, and magical. I felt like I was a princess. It was just truly incredible. I can never thank them enough. If I could do it all over again, I would, and I would choose Delamar every time. Many cheers, and thanks to Susan Scoby, and her team at the Delamar in Traverse City, Michigan. From: Jenn (and Scott)

Amazing Winter Wedding Experience

Kim, Susan, and the entire Delamar team were so supportive of my winter wedding idea from the start! We had 37 people in the Daub in early February, and it was beautiful with the snow! We did our ceremony outside on their patio, and the Delamar team did an amazing job making sure our guests were warm and comfortable, and that we were well taken care of the entire night. They were also amazing to work with for planning. I feel like the Delamar team is significantly more hands on than most wedding venues we looked at-they were incredibly communicative, and made the experience as streamlined and as stress free as possible! We actually ended up doing our rehearsal dinner at the Delamar pool cabanas as well, and it was a blast! Truly a winter wonderland! I also have to give a shout out to the culinary team, because the staff food was AMAZING. Our guests were raving about it, and I actually ended up doing an unplanned outfit change part way though to be able to enjoy the food more thoroughly. I highly recommend choosing the Delamar to make your event seamless, beautiful, and a memorable experience for your guests.

Wedding Reception

We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding at the Delamar Hotel! My now husband and I originally spent part of our first date on the hotel's outdoor patio facing the bay. Once engaged we were estatic that the hotel was an option to host our wedding reception. From our initial inquiry, Susan, Kim, and Erikah were outstanding in helping to make our wedding the most perfect day. Every step of the way they were available and equally as excited and enthusiastic in coordinating every minute detail for our reception. I cannot thank them enough for making the process of planning a wedding that much easier for the incredible task that it is! Everything from our initial meetings, to our tasting, tours of the space, etc was met with the best communication, professionalism, and genuine kindness. We live locally, so it was truly a treat each time we met with them to discuss our reception, and are excited to continue our relationship with them post wedding! From the waterfront views, the outstanding catering via the Artisan Restaurant, and of course the amazing work and collaboration with the events team- the Delamar is truly a gem in TC and a perfect wedding venue. We highly recommend the Delamar hotel. Thank you so much to Susan, Kim, Erikah, and their entire team for giving us the greatest day that we will never forget!

Best venue, food & wedding experience!

BEST VENUE, FOOD & WEDDING EXPERIENCE! Our wedding was middle of June this year at the Delamar. We toured many venues in Northern Michigan and Southeast Michigan. From day one, the Delamar felt like the perfect place. It starts with Susan, who is the best. She is so friendly, accommodating, and kind. Susan, Kim, and the rest of the staff go above and beyond to make your wedding day special. Cannot recommend them enough. Having hotel rooms and the reception all in one place makes the day so smooth and easy for guests & the wedding party. The food & drinks were incredible, and we recieved so many compliments from our guests. On top of all this, you can’t beat a reception on the bay! Wouldn’t change a thing if we had to do it all over again. Thank you to the Delamar team for making our day so special!

September 2024 Wedding

Our September 2024 wedding ceremony and reception at the Delamar Hotel was fantastic! With a love of nature, we were impressed by the stunning views of Lake Michigan Bay and the indoor/outdoor options for our special day.

The staff at the Delamar ensured every detail was perfect. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made us and our guests feel special. Our outdoor ceremony by the lake was beautiful, and the reception in the ballroom was well-organized and clean. The event and banquet teams were very easy to work with. We live in the Metro Detroit area and Susan and her team were very accommodating to scheduling meetings when we visited the area.

After our menu tasting, we knew our guests would love the food, and the Delamar delivered perfectly. As foodies, this was important to us! As the bride, we had a getting ready suite that was perfect size for all of the bridesmaids, hair and makeup teams to get ready in.

We are incredibly grateful to the Delamar for making our wedding day unforgettable. If you’re looking for a venue with stunning views, top-notch service, and a team that genuinely cares about your event, look no further than the Delamar. Thank you for giving us memories that will last a lifetime! (J&D)

Great Venue! Amazing FOOD!

Our wedding at The Delamar was a dream. We planned our wedding in 5 months, on Labor Day weekend. We thought we were crazy. The Venue Coordinator, Susan, assured us that we weren't and that other couples were also looking at dates around the same time. Every question I had was answered throughout the whole process and came with suggestions as well. Working with Susan and Kim was great. So easy to talk to and throw ideas around, especially when you're a bride that does not have everything figured out. As a bride, I wanted our wedding to be stress free and for the most part, it was. A huge part of that goes out to the staff. Everyone from the front desk to the door man and the wait staff, they were all so accommodating and just grateful to be there. On our actual wedding day we were checked on multiple times, "do you need anything" or "can I get you anything". It felt great. One of the reasons we chose The Delamar was the FOOD, well and the view helps. The food is amazing!!!! Most times, wedding or catering food is just ok, but The Artisan, again amazing. Having your venue at a hotel was a big thing for us. You don't have to worry about transportation, if something happens or you forget something, all your things are right there. If we had to it all over again, we would. We threw a great party, thanks to The Delamar, Susan and Kim!

Highly recommend the Delamar!

We had our wedding reception at the Delamar this past August and I could not recommend the venue enough. From the very beginning of the planning stages to our wedding day, Susan, Kim, Erikah and the entire Delamar team were so amazing and easy to work with. They were prompt in answering any email or concern, they were flexible in meeting with us when we were in town, helped with our room block changes, accommodated menu and tasting requests (not to mention the food was awesome!), and just overall went above and beyond to make our entire wedding weekend so special. Our guests loved staying at the Delamar and especially enjoyed the newly renovated patio and live music throughout the weekend. With the hotel being on the water and in close proximity to downtown Traverse City, you really can't beat the location. We will forever be grateful to Susan and team for helping make our wedding an amazing memory for both us and our guests!

Can't Wait To Be Back Here!!!!

I recently had the pleasure of hosting an event at The Delamar, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! From the moment we began planning, their team went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. Kim and Susan are both amazing and so accommodating! The service was absolutely top-notch—attentive, friendly, and always ready to go the extra mile.

The food? Phenomenal! The catering was exquisite, with a diverse selection of dishes that impressed every guest. Not only was the quality impeccable, but the presentation was beautiful too. The bartending staff was equally outstanding, keeping the drinks flowing with skill and charm.

If you’re looking for a venue with amazing food, exceptional service, and a staff that truly cares about making your event special, The Delamar is the place to be. I can't wait to host another event here!

Great Wedding Weekend Experience

We just celebrated my daughters wedding this past weekend and had our rehearsal dinner and welcome party at the Delamar. From start to finish, Susan and team took away any concerns with planning from out of state. They were responsive and on top of all of our questions. We leveraged the Day Club and Lakeshore - food and drinks were delicious. Service was great as well. We also had a block of 18 rooms and had family in from across the country staying for the weekend! The property is gorgeous, rooms are comfortable and you can't beat the views. I highly recommend the Delamar for your wedding for their outstanding service, location and value.
