Just book it!

We got married at the Delamar on August 12, 2023 and it was unbelieveable! If you're considering booking it, just do it- you will not be disappointed.
We got married on the ceremony lawn, dinner on the terrace, and then dancing/bar/etc... was in the Dayclub and it could not have been more perfect! We had a gorgeous day and it was the perfect mix of enjoying the bay but having a bit of indoor space. The day of translated even better than we pictured in any of our walk throughs. I had initial thoughts that the public terrace and beach might interrupt our ceremony/dinner but it did not at all! They did a perfect job of keeping everything private and separate- I didn't think twice about it day of.
The staff was a 12/10. Susan, Stephanie and Erikah were so easy and attentive to work with for the months leading up to the day. They were so communicative, so helpful and offered great ideas. The day of staff continued to be just as wonderful. They were all so accomodating, so fun and positive. My friend recently had a baby and one of the staff even helped her to put on her shoes just to be kind- definitely an extra mile that you don't see anywhere. They all helped to make the day great.
As for the food, it was amazing!!!! We got sooo many compliments from guests saying that not only was it the best wedding food that they had ever had, but an awesome meal in general. One of my friends was asking if Artisan served what we offered so she could go back and get it again. They were also so accomodating to those with food intolerances and allergies.
Truly, I could go on and on with how great the Delamar was. It was so convenient to have everything in one area and then also have the option for guests to stay at the hotel. (Which, the hotel rooms were lovely.) Of course, the downtown location makes for an easy walk into town for everyone to enjoy their weekend leading up to the day, too.
Side note: We booked the Nauti-Cat on Friday night as our rehearsal which docks at the Delamar- highly recommend that too! :)
All in all, just book the Delamar! It is the best and maybe most underated venue in all of TC. The best part of TC is the lake and no venue gets you closer.
Thank you again to the Delamar for the perfect day!!

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!

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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
