Yes! Depending on numbers, we may have a babysitter or two available the evening of our wedding, so keep us updated as you decide who's coming.

Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed at White Birch Lodge (with the exception of service animals).

We're pretty sure we accounted for everyone's significant other, so check the name(s) on your invitation. If we missed someone, let us know, and we'll see what we can do.

Think long, below-the-knee dress/jumpsuit or suit and tie. Feel free to have fun with it, but don't wear a tuxedo, and please avoid shades of white. Everything will be outside and on grass, so keep that in mind when it comes to heels. The average high/low temperature in Elk Rapids in September is 71°/50° F, and the sun will set around 8:00PM on our wedding day.

Up to you! If you're arriving via plane and hope to do some exploring further afield (see "Things to Do"), renting a car in Traverse City would be a good idea. If you anticipate mostly hanging out at White Birch Lodge, you should be fine without one. All events will take place either within a mile radius of White Birch Lodge or on-site. There will be bikes available for when you want to take a spin into town.

We've got you covered for dinner on our wedding day and brunch the following morning. Every unit will have a coffee maker and mini fridge, and there will be a food truck on-site serving brunch on Friday and Saturday. There are also a handful of restaurants within walking distance of White Birch Lodge (see "Things to Do"), and downtown Elk Rapids is just a couple miles away. The nearby Village Market should have everything you need if your unit has a kitchen and you plan to do some cooking.

For now, reach out to Julia at jesullivan93@gmail.com. Someone else will take over as we get closer to the event.
