Outstanding Wedding Venue, book here now!

The Inn at Stoneclifffe and their staff were absolutely outstanding. We had to switch our venue last minute (30 days out from wedding date) due to COVID restrictions in our state, and every member of their team made sure everything was handled quickly and done amazingly. Becky was extraordinary in making sure our day was everything we could have dreamed of and more. She was on top of every detail, was extremely quick to answer questions, and always followed through on her promises. She and her whole staff went above and beyond for us. They took what could have been a very stressful re-plan, and handled it with ease. The day of went perfectly. Becky and her staff had thought of everything we could have needed and more. The staff during the reception were incredible and the food was outstanding. We received so many compliments from our guests on the menu, and all credit goes to Stonecliffe. Due to the last minute switch, we didn’t even get to do a food tasting, but we were BLOWN AWAY by the quality, quantity, and flavors of our meal at our wedding reception. They worked to exceed every expectation and made our wedding day perfect. We had so much fun! You should absolutely book your Mackinac Island wedding here! Our vendors: (DJ Brevin with A-List Event Group, Photographer Sara Wright with ItsWonderfulPhotography, and Gabi Bowditch with Mackinac Films). Brevin, Sara, and Gabi worked seamlessly at Stonecliffe and captured every moment perfectly. They all knew the venue and worked efficiently with the staff! I couldn’t recommend them all more. Overall, the day was everything we could have imagined and more.

Beautiful Venue

The Inn at Stonecliffe sits up high on the West Bluff of Mackinac Island with breathtaking views of the Mackinac Bridge while overlooking the Straits of Mackinac, making this the perfect location for a wedding. The gorgeous surroundings and sunset views lend the opportunity for an abundance of beautiful photographs. We had the pleasure of working with Becky Miller who was essential to creating such a positive and memorable experience for us, even helping us navigating the postponement of our September 2019 wedding. Becky is excellent at communicating, extremely responsive, attentive, professional, and so easy to work with. The food was delicious, and the service was impeccable! Thank you to Becky and her team for all they did to making our wedding so special in every way imaginable.

Beautiful Venue

My husband and I chose the Inn at Stonecliffe for our elopement wedding. All of the staff was on point, professional, and helpful. My only suggestion would be to avoid the Star Line Ferry (the ferry used by Stonecliffe if you purchase the ferry tickets with your room) and choose Shepler's instead. Star Line dropped my husband's suit in the water and then stepped on it, leaving it unusable for our wedding. The staff at Stonecliffe was as helpful as they could be, given the circumstances. I would suggest that Stonecliffe might reconsider their contract with Star Line, as Star Line has not done a thing to help make that situation right, despite several communication attempts on our end.

Elopement On Mackinac Island Michigan

From the time we booked the Inn at StoneCliffe Becky was kind and helpful with every request to even every change. Kacee took over on the actual day and made everything go so smooth despite of the 58° temperature and rain she moved everything inside and helped everything go smoothly. I recommend anyone that wants a taste of history & class, to pick Stonecliffe as your wedding destination! thank youStonecliffe employees! everyone of you even down to the bartender for memories our guest will have for a lifetime & for us the bride & groom Leslie and Travis B, 7-7-21

Small, private ceremony.

This place was perfect for our small ceremony (just my wife and I). Becky and Kacee were extremely helpful in the days (months!) leading up to our wedding, and the day of.

Amazing Experience!

We cannot recommend The Inn at Stonecliffe enough! Their coordinator, Becky Smith, was phenomenal to work with throughout the planning process. They executed everything we wanted and ensured our guests had a great time. The food, the drinks, the service, the grounds all exceeded our expectations.

The most epic celebration!

We could not have asked for a better experience than what we had at The Inn at Stonecliffe! We wanted a smaller, intimate event and it turned out to be everything we had dreamed of and more. Becky was VERY responsive to all of my e-mails and questions. The food was amazing, and the inn itself is stunning and makes for BEAUTIFUL photos. The power went out our first day there and remained off for almost 24 hours, but the staff swooped in to make sure our rehearsal dinner was perfect and our guests were happy! If you'e re thinking of having your wedding at Stonecliffe, DO IT! You will not be disappointed! We will never stop raving, or get tired of listening to our guests tell us how much fun they had!
