Planning a 2011 Southwest Michigan Wedding and don’t know where to start?

Jody — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 23:40:31 +0000

Planning a SW Michigan wedding can be a daunting task for people trying to do this on their own. What you may not know is that there are many locations that do not have websites or that do not want to advertise their wedding locations for fear of being overrun with inquiries. All along the lakeshore are beautiful, quaint, fun, and sometimes sleepy little towns that either want to entice you to give them a try or would rather go unnoticed. But, if you know where to look, who to talk to, have relationships with them, know the ins and outs of working with them, and work with a professional wedding planner that has all of the information you need, then you can relax and enjoy and leave the work and worry up to the professional. With little input we can create dreams, with more input, we will be your partner, and with no input, we can create a day to remember. So if you are planning a romantic wedding in 2011, give us a call. We will take care of the details so you don’t have too.

Beautiful Beach Weddings on Lake Michigan’s lakeshore

Kara & Terrence came to us from San Diego wanting a beautiful wedding in South Haven, the town she vacationed in as a child. But they were not planning on coming to Michigan until the wedding. We gathered basic information over the phone and pulled together a beautiful, intimate, and fun wedding for them and their families. Beautiful day for a beautiful couple. We miss you Kara & Terrence!

Looking for a beautiful winter wedding?

Jody — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 16:06:14 +0000

We love planning summer beach weddings but winter weddings can be great too! Planning a winter wedding has it’s challenges but no more than summer weddings. The main concern for people is the weather in either case. That is even more reason to hire a professional wedding planner to help you think of all the details that need to go into the planning. Beautiful locations, bring in some bling and sparkle (which most brides like), and create a warm, cozy, and romantic atmosphere for all to enjoy. Beautiful locations on Lake Michigan or in the Kalamazoo area await. If we still haven’t convinced you, we can always plan a warm romantic destination wedding for you in the Caribbean but I think you are missing out on the romance of the winter months here in Southwest Michigan and you can save money too! The “off season” as we call it in the wedding business here in SW Michigan is a great time to save money on your wedding. Call us to find out how! Either way, we would love to help you plan the most romantic, cozy, destination wedding whenever you wish hold your nuptials.

Things to consider when looking for a lakeshore wedding venue

Jody — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 14:33:29 +0000

We get many calls from people wanting to get married on our beautiful Southwest Michigan Lakeshore. The beautiful beaches, romantic sunsets, and a plethera of outdoor activities await and are very inticing. But there are things to consider when thinking about our lakeshore that most have no knowledge of.

Southwest Michigan has 82 miles,from Saugatuck south, of fabulous Lake Michigan shoreline that is full of small, quaint little tourist towns excellent for smaller weddings. With South Haven being the most popular for weddings in our opinion. When looking for a lakeshore wedding venue there is a lot to consider that most people do not understand. These are unique areas and have unique situations. Some towns do not allow anything more than a quick ceremony on the beach not allowing any rentals brought in while others prefer only a certain number of people allowed for an organized event on the beach at one time. There are places for outdoor receptions as well as indoor but it will depend on what time of year, how many guests, and more as far as if they will allow a reception there. Most of our shoreline is owned by private individuals so commercial venues on the lake are very hard to find. Although if you have connections with the right people, you know the area, you know the rules, and are willing to negotiate and be flexible, there are some beautiful places to be had. At The Organized Partner, we know the towns, know the people, know the rules, and always negotiate so we can find you just what you are looking for. From the intimate wedding for 2 to the larger event up to 300, we can plan the wedding you are dreaming of. We specialize in outdoor tented events and we have more than 20 years experience to get the job done right. Call us today for your personal consultation! 269.760.9991
