  Absolutely wonderful!!!

  Our experience was nothing short of fantastic. Carole responded to every question promptly, kept us on track with making decisions and securing vendors promptly, and provided recommendations for vendors who did wonderful work. Furthermore, on the day of our wedding, she was there to make sure things stayed on track, and even was ready with a sewing kit to step in when the strap of my wedding dress snapped during our first dance. Far and away, working with For the Love of Mackinac was one of the very best decisions we made in our wedding planning journey.

  Best decision we’ve ever made!

  Having Carole as a wedding planner was the best wedding decision we could have possibly made. From day one our entire event was totally stress free. If something needed to be done, or there was something we wanted, Carole was all over it immediately. From venue to DJ, to flowers, to the day of, everything went off exactly as hoped, and beyond our wildest dreams. After years of watching friends and family get married, and to see them stress over everything, I can honestly say my wife and I enjoyed our wedding without a single stress in the entire process thanks to Carole. We could not be more thankful for the services she provided!

  Wedding Coordinator

  Carole and her team were incredible throughout our wedding planning process. We were planning a destination wedding on Mackinac Island (we live in Ohio) and Carole was instrumental in our vendor selection process (from flowers to our welcome reception venue) and vendor coordination the day of our wedding. Her attention to detail was appreciated and she even made sure we had water bottles in our carriage for our carriage ride downtown after the ceremony. Because of Carole and her team, my husband and I were able to be guests at our wedding and our day could not have been more perfect! I would highly recommend Carole if you are planning a wedding on Mackinac Island!

  Vow renewals

  Carole did vow renewals for my husband and I’s 10 year anniversary and surprise vow renewals for my mom and dad’s 37th wedding anniversary! The reaction that my mom had was priceless and something that none of us will forget. I appreciate how she made everything so easy and seem-less and when we met her it felt we had known her for years. She made our Mackinac stay even more magical!

  Our Dream Elopement - even during COVID

  For the Love of Mackinac facilitated a perfect elopement for us on Mackinac Island. We had other wedding plans that were canceled due to COVID travel restrictions, but Carole helped us to plan our whole elopement again in a short period of time. She helped us find lodging, booked our elopement site, found us a photographer, and officiated our wedding. We definitely couldn't have done it without her! I would recommend the services of For the Love of Mackinac to anyone getting married or eloping on Mackinac Island.

  Our Wedding Fairy Godmother!

  I am so glad Carole was a part of my wedding day. She was so incredible, I was calling her my fairy godmother by the end of the night! Her connections with local vendors, knowledge of local resources on the Island, professionalism, and overall responsiveness (over email prior, and in person) are just some highlights of her capabilities as an experienced wedding coordinator. Emotions and energy can run high on a wedding day, so her organization and ability to remain focused on our wedding vision and goals really put me at ease. She allowed me to live in the moment and enjoy every minute of my wedding day. Her service is truly the BEST wedding gift you can give yourself.

  Simply THE BEST Wedding Planner EVER!

  We had the amazing good fortune to connect with Carol Ebrel ( who we've dubbed "Wedding Planner Extrordinaire"!) for what turned out to be the absolute perfect wedding of our only son.
  I truly cannot imagine trying to take care of all of the details that Carole took care of in what seemed like an effortless manner. Her attention to details is absolutely staggering. Not only is she the poster child of professionalism... she is also one of the most kind a caring people we've ever had the pleasure to know. Our only regret is that we only have one child and therefore have no cause to take advantage of Carole in the future!
  CANNOT RECOMMEND HER HIGHLY ENOUGH!

  The BEST on Mackinac Island!

  My husband and I started working with Carole in January 2020 for an August 2021 wedding. Throughout the height of the pandemic, Carole's commitment to our wedding never wavered through all the highs, lows and even uncertainity of our planning process.
  
  We recently had our wedding at Mission Point Resort (August 15, 2021) on Mackinac Island and our wedding weekend and day far exceeded any expectations we had. For the past 18 months, Carole has been incredibly helpful, knowledgable, upbeat, and supportive throughout our duration of working with her. Not a thing went wrong our wedding weekend, but if something had, we are confident the Carole would have figured it out and made it right. Our guests were just as impressed with how the weekend went.
  
  As a destination wedding for us an our guests, Carole knows everything about Mackinac Island and is a respected individual who has fostered amazing relationships with northern MI vendors. She built an amazing arsenal of vendors who we absolutely loved working with. From the photographer, DJ, florist and dessert vendors, all were phenomenal and local to northern MI. We would not have had these amazing connections without Carole's expertise.
  
  We cannot say enough great things about Carole. If you are considering the Mackinac Island wedding of your dreams, Carole and For the Love of Mackinac is who you need to make your dreams a reality!

  Carole Knows Mackinac!

  Carole did a wonderful job in helping me stay organized and on top of things leading up to the big day. On our wedding day, it rained all day, and she worked extra hard to coordinate with our vendors and the locations to accommodate the rain. Thank you Carole for all the work you did behind the scenes to make our day so special. If you're on the fence about hiring a wedding planner - DO IT! And hire the one that knows Mackinac best.

  Amazingly helpful

  We had Carole for facilitating our rehearsal at the church and the ceremony. She was absolutely amazing! She was very professional, kept everyone on track and helped facilitate our carriage rides back to the reception. She also helped us with our timeline and filing our marriage certs. She was great! Highly recommend

  Mackinac Island Elopement

  Carole was incredible and I am so happy we chose her! We had a small elopement (just the two of us) and she was extremely responsive, flexible, and all around amazing to work with. She made the whole process easy, even though sometimes we had a million questions! She definitely made our special day easy going and fun.

  Carole is the BEST!!!

  I cannot put into words how thankful I am for Carole and how highly I would recommend her!!!! We had to cancel our initial wedding plans due to COVID. We decided that in 4 short weeks, we were going to go to Mackinac Island and have a little elopement. Carole made the entire process so smooth and took away any stressors that we had!! She was extremely responsive, organized, and made our vision come into fruition. There was zero stress the day of the wedding. Because of Carole, I was able to really enjoy the day, live in the moment, and take everything in. We also had Carole facilitate our ceremony and the words that she said were so heartfelt and beautiful. She truly made our wedding day perfect and I'm so thankful that we had the opportunity to work with her!!!

  Best decision we made!

  Working with Carole was the best decision we made. Her knowledge, professionalism and care is outstanding! During these unprecedented times we were especially thankful for her expertise to guide us through. The vendors that she recommends are extremely talented and fun to work with. The whole process was calm and easy to navigate. During the rehearsal and wedding everyone was able to relax and enjoy because Carole has every detail taken care of including those you wouldn't think of. We so appreciate her time and care she took to pull of a wedding during the summer of 2020!

  August 3 wedding at Ste Anne’s Mackinac Island and Grand Hotel

  Even though we are very familiar with the island, we decided to hire Carole for our daughter’s wedding. It was probably the best decision we made. Carole is outstanding and so experienced. Her guidance gave us tremendous peace of mind especially during a very challenging time with COVID-19. When the day arrived we were able to sit back and relax knowing we were in good hands. Thanks Carole!

  Drama Free!

  Carole made planning a wedding completely drama-free! She is proactive on items that might end up becoming a concern and is diligent about getting all the loose ends wrapped up. She made the process seem effortless. Our days was absolutely wonderful and I give all the credit to Carole!

  The best day of our lives

  My husband is a Disc Jockey and works a lot of weddings on Mackinac Island. When we got engaged there was no question Carole was the one to go to. She is understanding and so professional. She not only handled the planning side of things but she also officiated our wedding. From beginning to end our day was absolutely perfect. It wouldn't have been the same without Carole. She was beyond helpful. Any time I had a question or concern she got back to us in a very timely manner. She is precise and professional. Our ceremony and reception where in different places and this made me nervous as far as the setting up goes. Carole did not miss a beat. She made sure we had a perfectly decorated ceremony and then was off on her bike with a basket full of centerpieces to ensure the reception was the same. From the beginning stages of our engagement up until the day after our marriage, she made sure everything was taken care of. She even put our copy of the marriage license in a safe place and mailed the other copy out the next day! Planning a wedding is stressful and time consuming and I don't know how we could have done it without her.

  My husband is a Disc Jockey and works a lot of weddings on Mackinac Island. When we got engaged there was no question Carole was the one to go to. She is understanding and so professional. She not only handled the planning side of things but she also officiated our wedding. From beginning to end our day was absolutely perfect. It wouldn't have been the same without Carole. She was beyond helpful. Any time I had a question or concern she got back to us in a very timely manner. She is precise and professional. Our ceremony and reception where in different places and this made me nervous as far as the setting up goes. Carole did not miss a beat. She made sure we had a perfectly decorated ceremony and then was off on her bike with a basket full of centerpieces to ensure the reception was the same. From the beginning stages of our engagement up until the day after our marriage, she made sure everything was taken care of. She even put our copy of the marriage license in a safe place and mailed the other copy out the next day! Planning a wedding is stressful and time consuming and I don't know how we could have done it without her.

  You're going to love 'For the Love of Mackinac!'

  With only 6 months lead-time, Carole at For the Love of Mackinac! was instrumental in coordinating our daughter's wedding weekend on Mackinac Island. Our daughter lives out of state and just wanted to pick her wedding dress and show up which left every decision to me, the mother-of-the bride. I will be forever grateful that a google search led me to Carole at For the Love of Mackinac! Carole is so well-connected and very well respected by the wedding vendors on the island. Everything was absolutely perfect -- there isn't a thing we would have changed.

  Best wedding planner ever!

  If you are planning a wedding on Mackinac Island, you cannot do it without Carole. Trust me, my husband and I tried. We met in an event planning organization in college so we thought we could handle the big leagues. However, we quickly realized it was not possible without Carole. We have never regretted our decision to hire her. She is one of the best people you will ever meet and we were lucky to have her by our sides on the happiest day of our lives.
  First, Carole is an excellent communicator. She responds quickly to all questions and concerns. She emailed with us for months leading up until our wedding, set up a phone meeting a couple weeks in advance, and then met us in person once we got to the island. We loved that she knew the answer to all of our questions to make us feel at ease. She is so caring, warm, and kind that we were never afraid of asking her for help!
  Additionally, she interacts will all vendors. My husband and I live near St. Louis, MO, which is about 10 hours from the island. There was no way we could travel all the way to Mackinac to book vendors. Luckily, Carole knows all the top-notched businesses on the island. She was able to give us the best options to stay in our budget and fulfill our vision. Carole also went to bat for us with our vendors. Our wedding day was unseasonably rainy and cold for June so we had to move indoors. At first, we were discouraged, but Carole found us an even better venue indoors. We actually were thankful for the rain. However, we would not have known about this other venue without Carole so we owe it all to her.
  Carole cares about the details of your wedding and the people involved. For example, my sister forgot an undergarment for our rehearsal dinner. I texted Carole and asked if she knew where we could buy one on the island. Before I knew it, Carole took it upon herself to deliver it to us. Truly above and beyond her job duties. No detail is too small for her. She planned a minute-by-minute itinerary of the wedding day for us so we know exactly what to expect when. We found this very comforting, as did our families. Both of our parents rave about Carole’s work as well
  Most importantly, Carole allowed us to enjoy our wedding day. From the very beginning, my husband and I both agreed it was crucial we were able to spend time together and enjoy our day. In my past, I have been known to be Type A/controlling. However, on my wedding day I was completely relaxed. I was so surprised I did not ever feel stressed or overwhelmed. My husband and I genuinely were able to enjoy ourselves and not worry about the small details. We trusted Carole. We know that she would take of everything so that our wedding would go smoothly (and it did). Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

  We would ABSOLUTELY recommend!!

  Looking back on our wedding, my wife and I agree that the best decision we made was to hire Carole to coordinate our special day. We are both very organized people with event planning experience, so we were initially tempted to try to plan our wedding completely on our own. Frankly, this would have been a disaster.
  
  Carole thought of so many things that would have never occurred to us without her guidance, and she gave us tremendous peace of mind throughout the planning process. She was always incredibly responsive and quick to answer questions. It is very apparent that she ascribes enormous priority to her clients.
  
  On the weekend of our wedding, Carole took care of every detail for us. Unfortunately, rain caused us to have to move from our originally planned outdoor venue, but Carole worked with our resort to get us an even nicer indoor location than we had originally booked.
  
  Our wedding was so beautiful, fun, and peaceful. We could not have asked for a better way to celebrate our nuptials. The weekend truly exceeded our expectations in every possible way, and the credit is fully owed to Carole.

  A necessity

  As a graduate school student in California that was planning a wedding in Michigan on Mackinac Island, Carole was a must, especially with the 3 hour time difference and managing the venders. She made things incredibly simple and kept me on track in terms of all the planning and arrangements that needed to be made for the wedding. Additionally, Carole was very precise in what she needed from me and had quick responses to any questions I had. Overall, I could not have made my dream wedding a reality without her.

  Late October on Mackinac!

  We wanted to get married on the Island during the height of the colors, and the lowest level of tourists. We chose the week before Halloween, and ended up with a beautiful experience. Carole was amazing! She had warned that the weather could be iffy, but really came through when our outdoor venue needed to be changed-- 2 hrs before the ceremony!-- to an indoor one. This includes changing taxis as well for all the guests!
  We live 9 hrs away, but she hooked us up with the best vendors and venues after accurately assessing our needs. Even our guests were amazed at the attention to detail; and commented she was a step ahead and extremely easy to get along with the whole way.
