WEDDINGS WE LOVE: STEPHANIE + PAUL

Choosing to marry at Stafford’s Perry Hotel in Petoskey was an easy decision for Stephanie and Paul.

“As a couple, we love spending time on the water and Stafford’s Perry Hotel incorporated that perfectly!” Stephanie said.

The couple aimed to give off a formal yet whimsical, garden party vibe and they did just that. Details of artificial boxwood on the bar, tent draping, crystal chandeliers and an escort wall of mismatched gold mirrors.

“Our S+P wedding crest was one of my favorite details from our wedding,” Stephanie notes. “We incorporated that into many elements of our wedding including our invitations and ceremony signage. I also loved our welcome bags for our guests! We included mitten shaped cookies and Kilwin’s caramel corn as a way to pay homage to the city of Petoskey.”

Paul and Stephanie adore the charm and hospitality Stafford’s provides.

“The charming location, the warm welcome, the stunning views… getting married at the Perry was an absolutely dream! The team truly lives up to their motto on hospitality, professionalism, kindness and level of detail. By the time we left, we felt like part of the family!”
