What airport should I fly into?
Traverse City (TVC) is the closest airport and just a short drive from the venue. Detroit (DTW) and Grand Rapids (GRR) are also options if you plan to explore more of Michigan.
What should we do while we’re in Traverse City?
So much! Here are some of our favorites:
Take the Magic Bus wine tour — one of our absolute favorite things to do
Drive along M22 through Suttons Bay, explore charming little towns like Leland (Fishtown), and grab some smoked whitefish.
Stop by Mammoth Distilling — Paul’s favorite spot. Their gin is *chef’s kiss*
Grab breakfast at Bubbie’s Bagels — Elizabeth loves The Nosh on an everything bagel with scallion schmear. Paul goes for the Super Nova on an onion bagel!
Hang out at The Little Fleet, a food truck park with beer and chill vibes.
Head to the Hotel Indigo rooftop bar for great drinks and views.
Check out Low Bar, a cozy speakeasy with amazing cocktails.
Don’t miss Folgarelli’s Market for great sandwiches and wine.
And make sure to explore Front Street for shopping, snacks, and small-town charm!
Will there be dancing?
Absolutely. Bring your best moves — and maybe a pair of comfy shoes for the dance floor. You’re going to need them. Different sizes of flip flops will be provided for guests for the dance floor (yours to keep).
