About

Mission Point Resort is a wedding venue located in Mackinac Island, Michigan. The pebbled shoreline of Lake Huron gives way to this sprawling 18-acre resort. Couples and their guests will feel a sense of serenity on this stunning waterfront property, particularly while exploring its vibrant gardens and meandering pathways. This venue provides a multitude of activities, making it a perfect wedding-weekend escape.

Facilities and Capacity

Mission Point Resort plays host to weddings as large at 300 guests, but can also accommodate smaller, more intimate celebrations. The soft breeze from the lake passes over the lush green grass to greet loved ones as couples recite their vows on the Great Lawn. More intimate outdoor gatherings may take place in front of the charming gazebo amidst a burgeoning garden. Couples may choose to host their reception in one of two outdoor locations which boast impressive views of Lake Huron in the background. Indoor ceremonies and receptions may be held in one of their four event spaces. The Cypress Room feels grand and traditional with impressive log columns and beams. In contrast, the bright and airy Summit Room provides panoramic views of the property with an allusion to romance. The resort offers a luxurious salon and spa, perfect for pre-wedding relaxation and final preparations. A number of amenities are available to overnight guests including a swimming pool and hot tub, an arcade, and bike rentals.

The team at this resort strives to ensure that each couple witnesses their wedding vision come to life. Their variety of event spaces are ready to be customized by the Mission Point staff in conjunction with your team of wedding professionals. They are happy to recommend highly sought after photographers, florists, and other wedding professionals. Chairs, tables, linens, and tableware can be provided by the venue to realize your reception space. This venue is fully equipped to accommodate other wedding-related functions such as engagement parties and wedding showers.

Cuisine

Overseen by our award-winning Executive Chef and food & beverage department, this resort is committed to offering classic but innovative dishes. Their sustainably sourced, local ingredients are of the highest quality and combine to reflect the regional influences of Northern Michigan. The chefs at Mission Point Resort are happy to consult with couples on their menu to create dishes unique to each occasion.

We got married at Mission Point June 4th, 2022 and cannot recommend it more! If you are looking to have all the classy charm of Mackinac at a gorgeous venue with the humility, familial atmosphere you cannot go wrong. Ceremony on the lawn was stunning, the Tranqulity suite was a dream to get ready in and the Cypress reception room was gorgeous. St. Ignace floral for the flowers was incredible and works regularly with MP to pull everything together. The food was incredible and they really went out of their way to help us pull of some custom arrangements: band, decor, food from the Watercolor Cafe during the day, I really couldn't be more grateful for ALL of the staff who supported our special day with smiles and welcoming attitude to all our guests. We will forever be raving fans!

Thank You Mission Point

Our wedding held at Mission Point on Mackinac island was nothing short of incredible. The staff were so accommodating and kind and the grounds and location were immaculately kept that we didn’t really have to focus or worry about anything other than enjoying our wedding day at Mission Point. From the time spent there, to the beautiful views, and the incredible dinner at Chianti, we cannot recommend enough the beautiful resort and venue for other aspiring wedding planners.

Mission point is exceptional

Mission Point exceeded all expectations! They were absolutely amazing to work with from the start of planning down to the wedding day. Emma, Jen and the entire team, were friendly, helpful and always available to answer questions and assist with anything. Our guests raved about the food and service that Mission Point provided! The morning after the wedding, Mission Point staff helped load up all our decor/wedding boxes and got them on the ferry to the mainland for us. From jumping around to different rooms throughout our stay, moving boxes/luggage, dog sitting services, accommodating late checkouts - Mission Point staff helped every step of the way and made the whole weekend seamless and stress-free . We cannot say enough great things about planning a wedding at Mission Point with Jen and Emma!

Fairytale Wedding

We booked Mission Point Resort for our wedding July 2nd, 2022. At the time we were living in another state (we are both originally from Michigan though), and flew back to visit this venue. We immediately fell in love with the views and the idea of getting married on an island. We had 150 people attend and booked the Gazebo for our ceremony and the Cypress Room for our reception. What we loved most about the Cypress Room is the indoor and outdoor space you get to use. We planned a Welcome Event for our guests on the Friday night that everyone was arriving at the Promenade deck. Michaelena and Andrea were both incredible to work with and made wedding planning from far away possible. They also made sure the wedding day / weekend went smoothly and were always there to answer all of our questions. MPR gave us all the resources we needed and incredible vendor recommendations. They made wedding planning so easy! There is even a salon / spa onsite that you can hire to do your bridal party’s hair and makeup, which I highly recommend. Our guests raved about the service and bartenders at our reception. We stayed in the Tranquility Suite for the long weekend, which had 3 French doors to a terrace with gorgeous views of the Straits. It was the perfect spot for our first look and the photos turned out incredible. The entire property is beautiful. I highly recommend having your wedding here, everyone went above and beyond to make sure our special day was perfect. Vendors: St. Ignace in Bloom (florist), Bella E Dolce (cake), Andrejka Photography, DJ Brevin, Joann’s Fudge (favors), Lakeside Salon & Spa (hair and makeup), Mackinac Island Carriage Tours

Best day ever!!

Mission point is a beautiful resort. Most of our guests stayed at the resort and made a long weekend getaway out of the trip. It was nice to see friends and family before & after the wedding. We had our ceremony at the gazebo and our reception on the promenade deck. Gorgeous scenery! They offered a tasting before the wedding and the food was delicious. Jen our coordinator did a great job! Very responsive and professional with all of our requests and needs. The scenery is mainly what sold us on the spot. It was a beautiful day everything was perfect! We highly recommend Mission point for your wedding destination.

SN - Bellhop went above and beyond!

We had mimosas delivered to Lakeside salon (on the grounds of the resort) while getting hair and makeup done. Fun experience, great staff!!
We used local vendors referred by Mission Point. Very happy with all of them

Photography - Sarah with Wonderful photography. Beautiful pics! She knows the island very well!

Flowers - Jay with Webers florist. Our bouquets were gorgeous!

Charles - A list Entertainment

Joanne's fudge shop made personalized boxes of assorted fudge for our wedding favor. 😋

Worth every penny

We had so many things come up and our coordinator was right there to help us through it all. The day of, between our coordinator through Mission Point and our vendors, the wedding went so smooth. We did not have any hiccups that we were aware of.

Amazing Wedding Experience

Mission Point was absolutely amazing for our wedding weekend. My husband and I had a great experience here with first, our Lakeview King room, and then we moved over to the Hunt suite. The Hunt suite surpassed our expectations with an amazing view of Lake Huron, huge bright bathroom equipped with both a large shower and separate bath tub right underneath a beautiful window to gaze upon the lake. Our king bed was so comfortable that I slept like a baby the night of our wedding. Everyone that we came into contact with were kind and helpful. Michaelena, our wedding co-ordinator, along with Andrea were also just wonderful! They worked with me during the months leading up to the wedding to plan everything down to the tiniest details. Any time I had questions or concerns, they were quick to respond by e-mail and put me at ease. I truly could not have asked for a better team employed by Mission Point Resort to ensure our wedding weekend was successful, and to ensure the happiness of all our guests staying here. Thank you so much Mission Point!!!! We'll be back next year for our anniversary, I hope!

My Perfect Happily Ever After

I got married at Mission Point in June this year and I cannot tell you enough about how perfect my wedding was. They have an incredible team (I absolutely recommend Michaelena and Jen to you all!), they made preparing for our wedding fun and were always available for any questions or planning. The promenade deck is an excellent location for the reception and we loved our ceremony on the lawn in front of the water. Everyone raved about our food, though particularly the seafood bar - anyone who gets married here needs to get that, it blew away our expectations. They have a salon on site for getting your hair and makeup done, and even have a salon suite that you can book for the day to get ready in with the bridal party. My experience overall is that all of the wonderful people at Mission Point made the day even more special - they care and do everything under the sun to help you from booking through the wedding. They are incredible at making your dreams come true. I wouldn't change anything about my perfect day!

Labor Day Wedding Vacation

We were able to have our dream wedding at Mission Point over the busy labor day weekend and they couldn’t have been more accommodating. It was a combination family vacation/wedding event. Despite other weddings going on at the same time as ours, we felt like the center of attention and staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The breathtaking view from our table during the reception in the Cypress Room of the beautifully blue Lake Huron is forever ingrained in my mind. It was an amazing experience having all of our friends and family together on the island, Mission Point felt like one big family reunion at home with someone else taking care of all the details. Everyone was able to have an amazing time, and we have successfully set a high bar for weddings within both of our families. The event planners helped make sure we got every detail right going into the wedding, and even went out of their way to help book a dog-sitting appointment with the concierge for our beloved pet who was part of the ceremony but ready for a rest during the reception. During the event, all the staff were helpful and went out of their way to treat my husband and I as guests of honor. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. One of my favorite parts of the planning process was just endlessly going over the menu and daydreaming about the food options we ordered. The location is perfect, right outside of town but still accessible to the state park, so many first timers to Mackinac Island are now hooked on the experience at Mission Point. I hope to have a reason to plan another family event at Mission Point again in the future!

Beautiful Lakeside Venue

Our August wedding at Mission Point was beautiful and we could not be happier that we chose this venue. The staff was friendly, helpful, and professional throughout ever step of the process. They worked with us to reschedule due to the pandemic and were kind and understanding throughout that very difficult process. They made it very easy to plan from out of town and helped us bring everything together. Andrea was there to help out with anything little thing we needed on the weekend of our wedding, which was so amazing and took so much stress out of the day! Our guests raved about how beautiful the venue was and how wonderful the food was. I would highly recommend Mission Point for a Mackinac wedding, especially if you are planning from out of town!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
