Hallyn W. Sent on 04/10/2024Our perfect day!
We had our wedding in September 2023, and the Perry team, especially Angie, made the whole process enjoyable and seamless. After walking through the vision for the wedding and listening to their recommendations, so much stress was taken out of the planning process!
The service staff during our reception was absolutely wonderful. Everything came out in a timely manner and kept a great pace. My husband and I had the most wonderful night of our lives, and can't recommend The Perry enough! -

Above and Beyond- My Guests Are Still Raving!
The Stafford’s Perry Hotel staff went above and beyond to make our day incredible! Angie is one of a kind but all of the staff members who worked on our special day got tremendous kudos from our guests. I didn't have to worry about anything the day of - they just handled everything! Our guests are still talking about the meals and we’ve only heard incredible feedback. I know that there are dozens of weddings at the Perry Hotel every year, but they made me feel like I was their only wedding. I will forever be grateful to the Perry Hotel for not only facilitating the day of my dreams but going absolutely above and beyond compared to your traditional wedding venue. -

We got married at The Perry in October of this year and had the perfect wedding weekend. I'm beyond grateful that we selected The Perry as our venue. Jill and Angie were incredible to work with. I didn't hire a planner or a day of planner, which I felt a bit nervous about, but didn't need one because Jill was so incredibly helpful in the planning process and helpful with the day of details. They were accommodating and quick to respond to my many questions throughout planning.
We had a Welcome Party, our ceremony, reception and farewell brunch all at The Perry and every detail was exactly what we wanted. It was so fun having almost all of our guests also stay at the hotel. We are from Chicago and all of our guests had to travel to Petoskey, so having everything in one place made it so convenient. The Perry is perfectly located in Petoskey allowing for our guests to walk around to explore the goodness that is Northern Michigan. I highly recommend The Perry - it seriously was a dream of a weekend! -

In comparison: The Perry is the best
Our two daughters were married three months apart, with the first wedding at The Perry. We knew Angie was organized and helpful and super easy to work with, but it wasn't until we expected the same professionalism with our next daughter's wedding that we realized what a great decision we had made in Petoskey. The second wedding didn't have anything go wrong or have anything to complain about, but there was nothing to rave about like we had experienced at every step of our planning and celebrating at The Perry. Our guests all commented on the wonderful food and service all night long. We are 100% fans of Angie and The Perry for a wedding reception. -

Such a breeze!!!
Angie, Jill, and the rest of the staff were wonderful to work with. They were involved in everything from planning, set up/tear down, coordinating with vendors, and more. They truly made the whole experience a breeze and as stress free as possible. The views from the Rose Garden are amazing!! -

The Rose Garden Veranda was the absolutely the most gorgeous and picturesque venue I could have ever imagined. The backdrop with the sunset and the colorful flowers is like NO other. Angie was so helpful throughout the entire process. She is extremely knowledgable and her experience is unmatched. I was able to fully trust her recommendations. She is direct, smart and knows exactly what she is talking about. The food was delicious, the staff was very polite and our guests were so impressed. It was truly the wedding of my dreams. Everything about the Perry exceeded my expectations. -

We had a May 2023 Wedding, our ceremony was held outside in the stunning Rose Garden overlooking Lake Michigan. Cocktail hour was also held outside under the veranda, while the reception was inside the H.O. Rose Room. I can’t say enough positive things about Stafford’s Perry Hotel Staff. Angie and the Team who work alongside wedding couples go above and beyond in every step of wedding planning to make sure you have a problem free, seamless, perfect wedding day. This is exactly the day we had. The food was perfect, the timing management is taken care of by the staff at the Perry Hotel. They give every ounce of care they have and put it towards your wedding day. I can’t recommend this venue enough, mostly because of the staff, but also because of the gorgeous garden views. The inside of the Perry is quite old, some elements I did not care for but with enough interior design elements (linens, candles, charger plates, florals, etc.) the place can be transformed into whatever you dream. -

Emily D. Sent on 11/23/2022I always knew I wanted to get married at the Perry!
I grew up spending my summers just down the road from the Perry Hotel and always knew I wanted a Northern Michigan wedding. I looked around a little bit, but knew my dream wedding could only happen at one place! Angie and her team could not have been easier or better to work with. Angie has so much experience and has planned hundreds of weddings there, and it shows. She was so much fun to plan the wedding with, and she and the Perry staff were so accommodating to our vendors and guests. The night ran like clockwork, the food was great and the staff was incredible. My dream wedding came true and I could not have asked for a better day/night. All of our guests, who came from out of town, fell in love with the Northern Michigan hospitality. One thing people really loved was the setup of the dance floor. We had two bars set up on either end of the dance floor which really got people out there and dancing all night long. It was the best dance floor I've personally ever experienced at a wedding. :) I get emotional thinking about how perfect the day was, and I couldn't recommend the Perry more! I feel like we struck up a friendship with Angie and her team too, and look forward to more Perry weddings in our future. -

Incredible!
Angie and the whole event staff at the Stafford’s Perry are flawless. When I was planning our wedding there are so many little details that often felt very overwhelming. After postpone
ing my wedding in 2020 I was feeling like things were piling up and I was going to miss something important. However, I should have never had a doubt because the moment the planning process started up in 2021 Angie, Xaina, and their team nailed it. They handled everything from start to finish. Their professionalism is unparalleled and their caring and attention to detail genuinely incredible. The stress and burden they took off my shoulders can’t be described, I truly felt relaxed the entire wedding (other than normal wedding gitters) because I knew they had me covered in every way possible. My wedding party, and the family closest to us and involved in the planning process all complimented them to us during the evening at how awesome Angie and the staff was.
Also, to give more compliments, if you are looking for a place to get married the Rose Garden Veranda was stunning. It rained the day of our wedding, but it did not stop the venue from being truly perfect. Again, many people complimented us on the beauty of the day & venue.
If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing. My husband and I strongly recommend you choose this team to trust with your big day – they won’t disappoint you in any way.

The amazing team at Stafford's made our dream wedding a reality (even during a pandemic)!
Our wedding at the Perry September 12, 2020 at Stafford’s Perry Hotel was perfect. A lot could have gone wrong given the uncertainty of COVID-19 this year and the day-long rain storm forecasted for that day. But we had booked the most amazing venue with the most amazing team for our wedding, and so we had the wedding of our dreams celebrating with family and friends.
We live in Petoskey, so picking a wedding venue was simple considering Stafford’s legendary hospitality and you’ve seen the views from the Perry Veranda. We had already committed to the Perry for our special day before meeting Angie, our wedding coordinator.
There was no question or concern too trivial for Angie in the year leading up to our wedding. Even when COVID-19 threatened all happiness in 2020 and many couples were canceling their wedding, Angie was constantly in communication with us about the safety protocols and how it would work if we did decide to postpone. None of us had all the answers when it comes to the global pandemic (and we still don’t), but Angie made us confident we could safely have our loved ones with us to celebrate that day. Throughout the process Angie made us feel as though she were planning this wedding for a close friend or family member.
The week of the wedding a rainstorm threatened to dampen our entire weekend. With everything happening in 2020 it was really depressing to think our wedding would be rained out. Once again, Angie had a plan. We thought the ceremony and reception would have to be significantly altered to protect the guests from the elements, but Stafford’s already had the tent walls and heaters ready. They even had a plan to protect and still feature the vintage furniture we had rented for the event. Angie was so upbeat and confident about everything we really did not worry at all about the weather.
The day of the event every detail was taken care of. Angie took so much care setting up the decorations and favors we had brought in for our guests. She checked in on us several times throughout the reception to make sure we were having as much fun as the guests. When the dress bustling wasn’t going well, Angie found us struggling and literally dropped to the floor to help figure it out. We felt so special all evening at the Perry, especially when the team at Stafford’s had our personalized Noggin Room mug waiting for us at the head table. We had earned the mug by drinking a long list of beers right before the pandemic shut everything down, and due to the timing the mug hadn’t been personalized. Days before the wedding we mentioned it to Angie, and somehow the mug was there to use on our special day.
It’s not surprising that two weeks after the wedding we’re still hearing raving reviews from our guests about their experience, and how impressed they were with the Stafford’s team. There is no shortage of stories our guests have told us. A few family members couldn’t attend at the last minute, one a close uncle due to a biking accident the day before - the waiter at his table was genuinely concerned about him and boxed up his meal for other relatives to take home to him that night.
We can’t stop smiling thinking about our wedding day, and Angie and Stafford’s are a huge reason why. Thanks to them we had our dream wedding in the middle of a pandemic. Our guests were safe and they had the best time celebrating. In times like these we can’t take for granted these special days. It was a day at the Perry we will never forget. -

The Perfect Northern Michigan Wedding Venue
The Perry Hotel has to be one of the classiest establishments in Northern Michigan and we are so fortunate we picked the Perry for our wedding! We were happy to hear they offered a value season wedding option so that we could save money, but still be at an amazing venue.
The moment we met Angie during our consultation meeting, we just knew we had to get married at the Perry! Angie is so perfect at her job and made a crazy planner and worry-wort like myself feel at ease. Throughout the year of planning, we enjoyed getting to know the entire Sales Department staff and always felt at ease with how kind, courteous and lovely they were on phone or email.
Our guests commented over and over again with how amazing the venue was and we couldn't agree more!! They are still talking about how amazing the Perry Hotel is. We were all so impressed with the hotel and staff - they are all top notch and wonderful!
Thank you so much for being the most amazing and wonderful venue for our special day! We highly recommend if you are getting married in Northern Michigan to schedule a meeting with Stafford's Perry Hotel!Stafford's Perry Hotel's reply:
Thanks for the great review, Jessica! We loved working with you and Brian and felt so connected to your wedding plans - it was a true joy and so fun to see it all come together on that beautiful fall day! You were a dream to work with, worry-wort and all - we loved every phone call, meeting & emailed shared! XOXO -

The professional and detailed event planning staff gave me such a peace of mind. I knew Debbie, Nikki, Angie and Natalie had everything covered. We used the vendors on the list they provided to us. The wedding ceremony and reception went off without a hitch. The front desk staff, namely Rick, took all the room swapping with such a great attitude. He was so proud to show us the kids names behind the desk in blocks. The wait staff both at the restaurant and the ceremony were so professional and were excited for us. The manager at the Noggin, which we took over after the rehearsal and ceremony, was accommodating. Even tho we drove him nuts! The guests raved over the food (filet mignon with salmon) and desserts. The view was another topic. Gorgeous. Not to mention the sunset. Thanks for helping in making the kids' day magical.Stafford's Perry Hotel's reply:
Thanks for such a positive review, Liggie! It means so much to our team that you named everyone individually, offering praise. I agree - they all rock! We loved working with you too, your sense of humor kept us smiling and we'll remember your daughter's beautiful wedding for many years to come! Cheers! -

I booked this venue from Colorado, only having driven past it once ... that can be scary, but what I received was far greater than exceptional. Every time I had a question it was answered promptly (I had a lot of questions as we had booked more than a year out and thousands of miles away). We arrived to Michigan a week and a half before the wedding. Our final detail meeting with the crew made me feel very at ease and even more excited for our big day. Rehearsal went smoothly and I know that Angie was my moms greatest blessing after meeting her (my mom was VERY anxious and Angie put her worries at ease.). Day of was the easiest and least stressful day of the last year and a half; and I really owe it all to the staff at Stafford’s. We were reminded of where to be and when, and it took so much stress off of myself. Their attention to detail was amazing, I showed up and was blown away by how beautiful everything was set up. During our cocktail hour family started picking at the desserts, I did not want that happening and I told Angie, she immediately went and printed a sign saying dessert is for after dinner. LIKE WHAT?!?! We also weren’t sure if we were going to be able to eat enough so I had asked Angie to save us some food. She sent up a mini fridge filled with dinner and desserts for us, we were so thankful! Our bartenders were exceptional as well; I fell in love with the Rosé they served and one of them was kind enough to bring a bottle and two glasses up to our room for me.
I really cannot day enough good things about the Perry. It was the most perfect day and I’m tearing up writing how amazing the entire staff was. We look forward to Angie and her family visiting steamboat so we can take them around he mountain. If you book at the Perry you will NOT be disappointed. -
