Just book it!

We got married at the Delamar on August 12, 2023 and it was unbelieveable! If you're considering booking it, just do it- you will not be disappointed.
We got married on the ceremony lawn, dinner on the terrace, and then dancing/bar/etc... was in the Dayclub and it could not have been more perfect! We had a gorgeous day and it was the perfect mix of enjoying the bay but having a bit of indoor space. The day of translated even better than we pictured in any of our walk throughs. I had initial thoughts that the public terrace and beach might interrupt our ceremony/dinner but it did not at all! They did a perfect job of keeping everything private and separate- I didn't think twice about it day of.
The staff was a 12/10. Susan, Stephanie and Erikah were so easy and attentive to work with for the months leading up to the day. They were so communicative, so helpful and offered great ideas. The day of staff continued to be just as wonderful. They were all so accomodating, so fun and positive. My friend recently had a baby and one of the staff even helped her to put on her shoes just to be kind- definitely an extra mile that you don't see anywhere. They all helped to make the day great.
As for the food, it was amazing!!!! We got sooo many compliments from guests saying that not only was it the best wedding food that they had ever had, but an awesome meal in general. One of my friends was asking if Artisan served what we offered so she could go back and get it again. They were also so accomodating to those with food intolerances and allergies.
Truly, I could go on and on with how great the Delamar was. It was so convenient to have everything in one area and then also have the option for guests to stay at the hotel. (Which, the hotel rooms were lovely.) Of course, the downtown location makes for an easy walk into town for everyone to enjoy their weekend leading up to the day, too.
Side note: We booked the Nauti-Cat on Friday night as our rehearsal which docks at the Delamar- highly recommend that too! :)
All in all, just book the Delamar! It is the best and maybe most underated venue in all of TC. The best part of TC is the lake and no venue gets you closer.
Thank you again to the Delamar for the perfect day!!

Great wedding - location, food, staff, detail

We had a great wedding! The location is amazing for being by the water and sunset. The staff's attention to detail and kindness was appreciated throughout the whole weekend with our outdoor wedding.

Dream Wedding

My husband and I got married here on July 22, 2022. Let me start by saying that Delamar Traverse City was the best decision we could have made for our wedding weekend. Our families came from different states to spend the weekend together for our micro wedding. Leading up to the wedding, I kept in very close touch with Delamar and they were always so accommodating, flexible and supportive. On our wedding day, the team worked SO hard to ensure everything we wanted went as planned. Beacuse we did not have a wedding planner and I was my own wedding planner for the micro wedding, they really were there for us and supported us during the day when needed. They were so accommodating with shuttles and valet. We got married in the Day Club room with the view of the lake and our own patio. The food was like at a 5 Michelin star restaurant. The staff were so kind and dedicated. Cocktail hour on the patio was magical and the appetizers were to die for!!! I still think about the cucumber/salmon bites!!!! I can not describe how amazing it was and we already started planning our one year anniversary staying in this hotel and reliving these memories.

Susan Scoby
Catering Sales Manager

A Northern Michigan native, I started my career in the hospitality industry at 15 years old. Not knowing that I would continue my career path through serving, bartending, then managing and sales. I moved to Chicago in 2006, where I expanded my knowledge and experience in the hospitality industry. If there's one city to grow in this industry, Chicago is it! I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Kendall College, a nationally acclaimed culinary arts and top hospitality management college. I received my degree in Hospitality Management with a main focus in Meeting & Event Planning and Sports & Leisure. Over my time in the city, I submerged myself in the catering and events world, mainly within the restaurant industry with a strong corporate planning background, working for well-known hospitality groups such as The Revel Group & Limelight Catering, Lettuce Entertain You, What If... Syndicate (Maple & Ash and etta), and Atomic Hospitality. In 2020 I moved my family back to northern Michigan, where I continued my career in hospitality. And, in 2021 began my role as Catering Sales Manager at Delamar Traverse City— now learning the hotel & resort side of the business and my new found passion for wedding planning.

Over the past year, I have helped couples create the wedding they had always dreamed of. From small weddings with 20 people in attendance to larger weddings with 190 guests, I know every couple wants their day to be uniquely theirs. I look forward to helping you bring your vision to life, creating memories to last a lifetime.
