Michigan Elopements & Intimate Ceremonies

Dreaming of an intimate Michigan elopement—beautiful, meaningful, and intentionally simple? You’re in the right place.

At Huron House, we specialize exclusively in small, thoughtfully curated elopements. Our celebrations are intentionally limited to a maximum of six people total, including the couple. This allows us to protect the peaceful, romantic atmosphere our guests expect—and to deliver an experience that feels deeply personal, never performative.

Located along the Sunrise Side of Lake Huron, our adults-only luxury bed & breakfast has become known for unforgettable sunrise elopements, where quiet moments, soft light, and the rhythm of the lake set the tone for your vows. Whether you’re exchanging vows just the two of you or with a small circle of loved ones present, every ceremony here is designed to feel private, calm, and intentional.

For decades, romance has been at the heart of the Huron House experience. From lakefront views and elegant suites to personalized service and carefully paced celebrations, we offer a setting where couples can focus fully on their commitment—without the stress, timelines, or expectations of a traditional event.

We proudly welcome all couples seeking a meaningful place to marry. Our elopement packages are designed to remove the guesswork, offering a seamless experience from start to finish. With the support of a dedicated elopement concierge, you can simply arrive, breathe in the morning air, and step into the moment you’re creating together.

Small by design. Intentional by nature. This is what we do and we do it beautifully.

Huron House Elopement, Intimate Wedding & Event Policy

At Huron House, we are honored to be part of life’s most meaningful milestones. Hosting an elopement or intimate wedding on our property is a privilege we take seriously. To preserve the exclusivity, serenity, and guest experience that define Huron House, we have established the following policies regarding elopements, ceremonies, and events, including professional photography.

Elopements & Intimate Weddings Are a Paid Service

All ceremonies hosted on Huron House property—regardless of guest count, formality, or duration—are considered official elopements or intimate weddings and must be booked through one of our elopement packages.

Simply put: if you are getting married on our property, it must be done through us.

No matter how small or informal your plans may seem, the use of our private property for a ceremony of any kind without prior written approval is not permitted.

Lodging Does Not Include Event Rights

Booking a guest room at Huron House provides access to enjoy our amenities, such as the beach, garden, and common areas, for rest and relaxation only.

Room reservations do not include the right to:

  • Host a ceremony (formal or informal)
  • Conduct professional photography sessions (e.g., engagement, wedding prep, styled shoots)
  • Use the property as a gathering space for off-site weddings or group events

Any use of the property outside of personal lodging requires prior written approval, a signed contract, and an event-specific deposit.

Contract, Deposit & Written Approval Are Required

No elopement, ceremony, professional photography session, or event may take place on Huron House grounds without the following:

  • A signed event or elopement contract
  • A dedicated deposit specific to the event (room deposits do not apply)
  • Written confirmation from Huron House management approving your use of the space

Failure to follow this process constitutes unauthorized use of private property.

Exclusive Use: One Elopement Per Stay

To preserve the intimacy of the experience, Huron House hosts only one elopement or intimate wedding at a time. Once a ceremony is booked, we turn away all additional elopement inquiries for those dates.

This policy ensures that each couple receives our full attention and that their day is never overshadowed or disrupted by overlapping events. If a guest attempts to host a ceremony without approval during another couple’s reserved event window, it is a direct violation of our policies and a disservice to the paying couple.

Guest Count Limit: 6 People Maximum

Our property is designed for privacy, serenity, and connection. To respect the experience of all guests and preserve the nature of our intimate environment, we do not host events exceeding 6 people total (including the couple).

This applies to all elopements, ceremonies, and photography sessions. We are not able to accommodate larger weddings, group events, or gatherings of any kind.

Approved Vendors Only

We partner exclusively with a select group of local professionals for officiating, photography, and florals. These trusted vendors understand our property and standards, and help ensure a seamless, high-quality experience.

Outside vendors are not permitted. Unauthorized use of external vendors—especially for photography or ceremonies—and tagging our location or brand in associated media is a misrepresentation of our work and will not be tolerated.

Property Use Limitations for Offsite Weddings

Guests may not use Huron House as a:

  • Getting-ready or bridal suite location for an off-site wedding
  • Transportation/shuttle hub for guests or bridal parties
  • Post-wedding gathering or after-party location

Use of the property for these purposes, without prior approval, is considered an event and must follow our standard booking process with associated contracts and fees.

Unauthorized Use Will Result in Penalties

Any unauthorized use of Huron House for a ceremony, photography session, or event, regardless of size, violates our Terms of Service and will result in:

  • Additional fees
  • Immediate cancellation of your reservation
  • Permanent refusal of future bookings

We will enforce these policies without exception to protect the integrity of our guest experience and the couples who have reserved our space through the proper channels.

Alternative Ceremony Options

Oscoda and the surrounding area offer many beautiful public beaches, parks, and scenic overlooks perfect for informal or budget-conscious ceremonies. These locations are free to access and ideal for couples not interested in purchasing a package through Huron House.

If you'd like help finding a local public space for your ceremony, we’re happy to provide recommendations.

Thank you for respecting the policies that make Huron House a peaceful, exclusive, and unforgettable destination. We look forward to welcoming you and are happy to answer any questions regarding our elopement offerings or event guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many guests can attend my ceremony?

Our Intimate Elopement package allows for up to four additional guests, making six people total, including the couple. Due to the intimate nature and layout of our property, we’ve found through experience that this is the maximum number we can comfortably and safely accommodate for any event. We kindly ask for your understanding, as we are unable to make exceptions to this policy.

Why is Huron House one of the best honeymoon hotels in Michigan?

Huron House is one of the top-rated honeymoon destinations in Michigan. Our adults-only, beachfront inn offers the perfect mix of privacy, luxury, and romance. With in-room jetted tubs, fireplaces, private balconies overlooking Lake Huron, and breakfast delivered to your door, it’s designed for couples celebrating a special start to their new life together.

We have a room reservation and plan to host a small ceremony of our own on your grounds, is this allowed?

Lodging Does Not Include Event Rights

Room reservations do not include the right to host a ceremony, conduct professional photography sessions (engagement photos, wedding photography etc), or use our private property as a gathering space for offisite weddings or group events. Any use of the property outside of lodging requires prior written approval, a signed contract, and an event specific deposit.
