Bay Harbor was the perfect choice for Molli & Todd‘s wedding day. They’ve always loved Lake Michigan and northern Michigan’s charm, and being near the water holds a special place in their hearts. It was only natural to have their wedding day surrounded by the serene beauty of the lake—incorporating water into their celebration was a must.

On the morning of their wedding, Molli & Todd embraced the excitement that filled the air. They managed to find a quiet moment together before diving into the busyness of getting ready, talking about what the day would bring and sharing in their joy. Todd’s highlight was a sweet surprise—finding notes written by the kids in their wedding party for Molli, tucked away to be discovered after the celebration. Meanwhile, Molli’s favorite moment came just before the wedding day itself. A bike ride through the tunnel of trees set the tone, a nod to their love for the outdoors. Stopping at a favorite donut shop and realizing they were about to step into married life together made the moment even sweeter.

In planning their Bay Harbor wedding, Molli & Tood took to heart the advice to carve out time for each other amidst the day’s festivities. They appreciated having that quiet time, away from the buzz of guests and activities, to simply connect and soak in their first moments as newlyweds. For other couples planning a wedding, they shared one piece of wisdom: “Do what you want, how you want.” It’s advice that might sound simple but can be hard to follow amidst the many opinions. Yet, Molli & Todd stayed true to themselves, creating a day in Bay Harbor that was truly theirs.
