Monica H. Married on 05/22/2021Outstanding 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
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.The Inn at Stonecliffe's reply:
Thank you for your review Amy! We were so glad we could host your intimate ceremony and wish you all the best for your new life together! We also appreciate the feedback on Star Line as well. -
