A Summer Historic Barns Park Wedding

Traverse City, Michigan is a spectacular location in Northern Michigan for vacations and weddings! And with Erin being originally from the Traverse City area, she knew that this was the perfect location for her wedding to Max. They were married in Traverse City at the beautiful Historic Barns Park.

Erin and Max’s wedding day began at the Central United Methodist Church in downtown Traverse City.  This church is not only beautiful, but is located in heart of downtown Traverse City on Grand Traverse Bay. All of the ladies relaxed in the morning in the getting ready room upstairs in the CUMC. The room had an incredibly large section of mirrors and counters for everyone to do their hair and makeup. I have never seen such a flurry of activity, or this many women in one location so proficient at doing their own hair and makeup. It was the perfect way to begin the wedding day.

At the same time, card games and good times were being had downstairs by all of the gentlemen.  As the wedding ceremony began, Max was filled with emotion and tears as he saw Erin walk down the aisle to him. The ceremony was filled with laughter, joy and tears and the two pledged to spend their lives together and husband and wife.

Following the ceremony, we walked along the beautiful Boardman River and Grand Traverse Bay for portraits with the bride and groom. The party continued at the Cathedral Barn in the Historic Barns Park.

The Cathedral Barn is an incredibly beautiful, newly restored wedding venue located next to the Village at Grand Traverse Commons, just outside of Traverse City. The Barn is surrounded by gorgeous fields of tall grass, trees, views of the city area, and shares 56 acres of land with the Botanic Gardens. It is an incredible venue to weddings and wedding receptions.

Surrounded by the love and support of their family and friends, Erin and Max celebrated their married at the Cathedral Barn. Amazing dessert, chocolate chip cookies (made by the bride), and many other desserts were had following an incredible meal by Catering with Kelly’s. As the evening went along, Erin and Max snuck out for some along time in the gorgeous grass and hills overlooking the Historic Barns Park at sunset. Following sunset, the music kicked in and this group were “cutting the rug” on the dance floor!

Congratulations on your beautiful marriage Erin and Max. We had such an incredible day with you traveling around Traverse City for your wedding. We wish you the best as you move forward togethers as husband and wife! Much love and appreciation.  Rayan
