Michigan Wedding Planning Advice

Your Michigan Wedding planning will be a fun and exciting experience if you take the time to properly prepare. I know ... you want everything to be perfect. If you are planning your own wedding on Lake Michigan you need to have an organized list of what needs to be done and when. Timing is everything.

Check with local beach authorities about rules, regulations and any fees that may apply. This is especially true if it will be a large event. Small weddings of less than twenty generally do not need a permit. You will have to pay the normal park entrance fee. There will be other beach users but they will keep their distance and act respectful.

If you plan to use a state park for your Michigan beach ceremony check with the Michigan Department of Parks and Recreation at 517-373-9900. Some of the beachtowns have city beaches and you will need to check with their city clerk offices as to regulations or permits.
