Intimate, meaningful wedding ceremonies created especially for you — beneath the sky of Mackinac Island.
"A small ceremony can hold the biggest love."
Michele creates deeply personal wedding ceremonies for couples who want something genuine — not a performance, but a moment. Whether it's just the two of you on a quiet dock at sunrise, or a small gathering of the people who matter most, she brings the same care and intention to every ceremony she leads.
She specializes in elopements, private ceremonies, small weddings, and intimate celebrations on Mackinac Island and throughout Northern Michigan. Every ceremony is written from scratch — around your story, your words, and your way.
"Your wedding doesn't have to be grand
to be unforgettable."
The most meaningful ceremonies are often the smallest ones — where every word is heard, every feeling is felt, and nothing is rushed. A private ceremony on a Mackinac Island shoreline, at the edge of the Straits as the sun sets, or in a quiet forest clearing in Northern Michigan can be more powerful than any grand venue.
The Straits of Mackinac — where vows meet the water and the sky holds witness.
Just like Michele's handcrafted artwork — no two pieces are the same. Your ceremony is crafted the same way: by hand, with intention, and made to last.
Your ceremony should reflect who you are — how you met, what you believe in, and the life you're building together. Michele takes time to truly know your story before writing a single word.
Choose a location that means something to you. A Mackinac Island dock. A forest clearing. A quiet beach along the Straits. A Northern Michigan garden. The ceremony comes to you.
Every vow, reading, and ceremonial moment is written to feel genuinely yours — not borrowed from a template, but crafted from your relationship and the traditions that matter to you.
Keep it simple and intimate, or weave in meaningful rituals and family traditions. There are no rules — only what feels true and beautiful to the two of you.
Whether you're planning a private ceremony, an intimate wedding, or simply want a moment that feels completely your own — Michele would be honored to help create it with you.
