Bay Harbor Yacht Club sits on Lake Michigan’s shore in Northern Michigan, and its patio and ballroom gave us one of the most memorable arrival sequences we’ve ever filmed: a couple arriving by boat to a crowd of guests waiting on the water’s edge.

A Wedding We Have Filmed at Bay Harbor Yacht Club

Teresa and Rowan brought their Italian heritage to Bay Harbor in July 2018, with custom favors hand-selected in Ravello, Italy, and a multi-course feast at the Yacht Club. After their ceremony at St. Francis and a classic GTO exit, the couple arrived at the Yacht Club by boat, greeted by guests waiting on the patio.

Filming Weddings at Bay Harbor Yacht Club

The Yacht Club’s lakefront patio gives us a genuinely unique arrival shot when a couple comes in by boat, and the ballroom’s elegant interior carries that same polish into the reception. We’re glad to travel for a Northern Michigan destination wedding here, and we know how to plan around the club’s water-facing layout.
