Our Wedding Of Dreams

Our wedding at MacRay Harbor this past November was nothing short of magical. From the very start, the planning process felt effortless, joyful, and truly special thanks to their amazing team—especially Kelli, who made every detail feel so easy and cared for. The day itself was a dream come to life: breathtaking views, a stunning atmosphere, and an energy our guests are still talking about. And the food—absolutely unforgettable. We still hear how it was some of the best wedding food our guests have ever had. MacRay Harbor didn’t just give us a perfect wedding day, but they gave us an experience and a family we’ll cherish forever.

Plan a stress free wedding with Macray by your side

My husband and I saw only 2 venues while planning our wedding. Macray was the second venue on our list. The moment we stepped out of the car before our first meeting with Kelly we knew this was it. We saw the venue when it was still winter, and even with the snow covering the water it was breathe taking. We ended up getting married in July right on the water, and it was exactly as we had hoped. Throughout the wedding planning process we had Kelly by our side the entire time. Kelly provided us so much more than we could have imagined or asked for. We were pretty picky on the food choices we wanted for our guests, and we were able to taste all of the food we wanted to make sure it would be perfect. Even now a few months after our wedding, our guests still bring up how amazing everything tasted. Their food was served hot and served to perfection. When it comes to larger weddings you never know how the food will be served to the guests, and Macray does not disappoint! I have been to large weddings where everything is overcooked, and not one guest had anything bad to say about the food. Any questions I had (lord did I have a lot), Kelly was just a text or call away. Kelly and her team at Macray help take away from the stress of planning a wedding and make the process fun and easy. We have built a life long friendship with Kelly, and will continue to show up to Macray for years to come. I would recommend Macray for those who love the water, who are looking for an outdoor wedding, for a venue who will make one of the most exciting times in your life as easy as possible.

Book your wedding with MacRay!

A few months has passed since my wedding and I wanted to follow up here and share my truly amazing experience with MacRay Harbor overall, but especially Kelli and Brooke. They are an absolutely amazing duo and will go above and beyond for every detail of your day to make it absolutely perfect. Kelli and I worked together for about a year and a half and she never missed a beat. She was there whenever I needed her and never shied away from making any of my wishes come true. A lot of people asked me if I had worked with a wedding planner and I told them, nope! I have a Kelli!

MacRay is also an absolutely beautiful venue and the food & service was FANTASTIC. Our guests are still raving about it to this day! I could go on and on about the wonderful experience we had.

Thank you to Kelli and all of the wonderful MacRay team that made our day truly PERFECT!!!

A dream come true

Choosing MacRay for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. It was our first venue we toured and immediately knew it was the one for us.

The coordination team was outstanding, especially Kelli who answered every question and held my hand when I was feeling stressed and in panic mode. On the wedding day, their attentiveness made a noticeable difference, and everything flowed seamlessly because of them. If anything was out of place, they fixed it in seconds no questions asked.

The venue itself is stunning and exactly what we envisioned for our wedding. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful the space was, and how great the food tasted. They have packages for every price point which definitely influenced our decision to have our wedding there.

MacRay delivered an exceptional experience from beginning to end, and we would absolutely recommend them to any couple!

A Dreamy Waterfront Venue For The Perfect Bridal Shower

From the moment we arrived at MacRays Harbor we knew we had found the perfect place to celebrate our bride-to-be. Located on the water this stunning venue provided the most breathtaking views creating a magical atmosphere for an unforgettable bridal shower.
The staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail was flawless. They were attentive, professional, and Kelly was genuinely invested in making the event special. From the exquisite table settings to the deliciously curated menu everything was top tier. The food was not only beautifully presented, but also fresh and favorable.
If you’re looking for a venue that combines elegance, natural beauty and exceptional service MacRays Harbor is a must. It was truly a fairytale setting for a once in a lifetime celebration. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Venue for Bridal Shower!

MacRay was the perfect venue to have my bridal shower! Kelli and the team were very dedicated to making it a perfect day. We received so many compliments on both the venue itself and the delicious lunch! My bridal shower theme was “love is in bloom” and the atmosphere of the “Anchor Bay” room was perfect for this. We also loved how they were able to make so many food and beverage accommodations for us! 10//10 recommend this venue.

Wedding of my dreams

It was so important for my husband and I to get married on the lake that we met on. From our initial tour meeting, we were welcomed like family by Kelli, our MacRay contact. She made every part of the planning process with their facility a breeze. As a little girl who has always dreamed about what her big day would look like, I never imagined how truly beautiful of a setting the outdoor ceremony spot and indoor reception space were. I will highly recommend MacRay Harbor to anybody planning any type of event - I also held my bridal shower in the lower level of the venue. I had people compliment the service and meals at both my bridal shower and wedding long after the events had passed! MacRay will always hold a special place in my heart. We always look forward to going to the events that they host as guests to enjoy the space even more after our wedding!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
