Your ceremony unfolds with Lake Michigan as its witness. Whether exchanging vows outdoors with the bay stretching behind you or gathering just steps from the shoreline, the water becomes a quiet, meaningful part of the moment.

With a Story
Once part of the original Terrace Gardens dance hall dating back to 1922, the Grand Ballroom has been thoughtfully reimagined into an elegant space for receptions filled with movement, music, and shared celebration.
by the Bay
Set along the edge of Lake Michigan, the waterfront gazebo offers a naturally romantic ceremony setting where the open water, sky, and shoreline become part of the moment.
For couples seeking something smaller and more personal, micro weddings offer a beautifully scaled celebration focused on connection, presence, and time spent together.
Located along Lake Michigan between Escanaba and Gladstone, the Terrace Bay Hotel is easy for guests to reach and unforgettable once they arrive. The lake, the light, and the setting do the rest.
