Many soon-to-be-wed couples are looking for a place to hold their wedding, some place unique and memorable but one that won’t break the bank or go over budget and one that is not necessarily in their back yard. A destination wedding is all the rage in weddings in which the couple to be wed travels to a different state or country and has a small group of close friends and family follow them to celebrate with them. Often times, once the newly married couple returns home, they hold a reception that allows those people who could not attend their destination wedding to celebrate their wedding with them.

A Petosky wedding might offer a nice place for people to stay if they are attending a castle wedding in the beautiful resort town of Charlevoix, Michigan – a 20 minute drive from Petosky; however there are limited attractions and event sites in Petosky for weddings.

Michigan weddings offer a beautiful castle with a state of the art technologically advanced sound system for a DJ or band to play music  while people dance away the night. These types of weddings may or may not include a priest or preacher to perform the ceremony; they could simply have the justice of the peace marry the two people to make it legal and still have a nice ceremony.

A Michigan wedding that takes place in the centuries-old castle are becoming more popular as a destination wedding not only because it is in the United States and easier to travel to, but many people are not affiliated with any type of church or perhaps they have lived together for many years and have finally decided to tie the knot and would rather have a unique, yet simple ceremony that includes all their friends and family but not the traditional church.

One of the keys to a successful destination wedding is to send out the invitations as early as possible so that guests can plan their travel itinerary and make hotel reservations in advance. Some people may need to ask off from their job or find a babysitter for young children.
