A Midwest Destination Wedding at The Inn at Harbor Shores

Some may think that you have to travel halfway across the world to have a luxurious, getaway wedding and that the destination wedding of your dreams will come with a hefty price tag—but these people have not heard of The Inn at Harbor Shores. This quintessential venue is charmingly tucked away in the harbor of Saint Joseph, Michigan. Its exhilarating and refreshing ceremony and reception spaces bring a whole new meaning to the notion of a destination wedding, because when you have your wedding here—you will feel like you're worlds away. Located in the heart of Southwest Michigan, otherwise known as “The Riviera of the Midwest," you will find that The Inn at Harbor Shores has all the breathtaking characteristics that make up a destination wedding.

LOCATION

What better place to celebrate your love than a picturesque destination spot? The Inn at Harbor Shores stands right on the water’s edge of the harbor of the St. Joseph River. It is surrounded by idyllic beaches, sailboats, alluring shops, delightful restaurants, and a world-renowned golf course. It is truly a place to get away. In addition to all of this, The Inn is home to views like no other. You will be able to look out onto the St. Joseph River and Lake Michigan (perhaps while sipping on a glass of champagne).

ATMOSPHERE

The atmosphere of your wedding can influence its entire theme. With an atmosphere that gives you relaxation, luxury and pleasure, The Inn at Harbor Shores will make your wedding one-of-a-kind. Maybe you are dreaming of standing on a gorgeous terrace while staring off into the sunset with your new spouse. This dream and more can come true at The Inn at Harbor Shores’ Harborview Ballroom. This space is located on the second floor of The Inn with an open floor plan that can host up to 300 guests. There is plenty of room for dancing and—of course—a balconied terrace that overlooks the St Joseph River harbor. Or, if you would like to get married right on the water’s edge, the Riverside Patio is the essential spot for you. The patio is a large space where you, your spouse and your guests can celebrate your union looking out onto the captivating harbor. They also have Waterside Rooms, which sit adjacent to the ballroom. These rooms are perfect because they are versatile. They can be opened up to add space to the ballroom or separated from the ballroom to create cozy spaces for smaller celebrations. These spaces create an illuminating atmosphere that will make you and your guests feel like you are in a fairytale.

ENDLESS PERKS

The Inn at Harbor Shores also offers great amenities that give this venue a true getaway feel. One of these perks is their full-service spa. You will be able to get a pre-wedding manicure and pedicure or unwind and beautify in their infrared sauna with your Maid of Honor. If you would like to tickle your taste buds, check out their onsite restaurant, Plank’s Tavern, which has waterfront seating where you can look off into the horizon while enjoying delectable food. Interested in art? The Gallery at Harbor Shores, located on the second floor, highlights talented local, Michigan artists. This is truly a cultural perk that you can’t find anywhere else. Since you are right by the water, take some time to indulge in kayak and canoe rentals nearby, too. But if you'd rather stay on land then there is an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course. These perks make The Inn the ultimate getaway wedding location. With endless choices on what to do,  there is no arguing that you and your guests will indulge in a destination celebration without having to break the bank.
