Sonia & Chris Wedding

We are beyond grateful for the exceptional services we received at the Grand Traverse Resort during our daughter’s wedding and events. The breathtaking views, amazing food, and dedicated staff made for an unforgettable experience. Special thanks to Chef Auston for the Michelin star quality of food and services with a personal touch, Payton Taylor for ensuring seamless event setups and execution all around, Sarah Arnott for the most amazing guest services, and Gaye O’Neal for her warm and incredible leadership.

Despite unexpected weather challenges on the day of wedding and reception, the resort team mobilized the staff that quickly restored everything to help carry the celebration forward. The Grand Traverse Resort team worked very well together and looked after each event to oversee that no stone was left unturned ensuring an outstanding setup and a memorable event delivery.

We highly recommend Grand Traverse Resort for those seeking an exceptionally extraordinary 7-star event experience!

Stunning Venue

I (Rachel from Adventure Photo Stories) Had the pleasure of photographing G+T's wedding last year wat the resort and the amenities were stunning. It was a small affair but very luxurious with an outdoor ceremony and reception dinner party on level 17 overlooking the restaurant and golf course. The food was amazing! Fox+fern designed the event and Bloom Floral Design created stunning installations. Such a dream!

Incredible support and vision from Molly at GTRS!

I got married on Level 17 of the Grand Traverse Resort tower and it was everything I could have hoped for. This area is typically a meeting space but was completely transformed for my ceremony. I only had 11 guests, so Chelsea and Molly used drapes creatively to make the space feel more intimate. The space was unrecognizable! Everyone was very responsive and helpful - they communicated with vendors and took care of all set up and tear down. I would highly recommend getting married here!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
