"It was a pleasure working alongside Rachelle and the staff at Grand Traverse Resort & Spa for Jessica and Andrew Malek's wedding.  Rachelle was exceptional in communicating our vision for the wedding to her staff thus resulting in a flawless weekend filled with all the special touches we had planned and designed for. 

The ability to use the Special Events team at GTRS as a resource was incredibly helpful, not only for Jessica and Andrew's comfort, but for their guests as well.  I would be honored to work with the Grand Traverse Resort & Spa Team any time!" - Alicia Caldecott, A Day in May Event Planning & Design

"Working with Rachelle and the rest of the staff at the resort was a wonderful experience. As a bride, you spend endless hours trying to make everything perfect for your wedding and it's difficult to hand everything over to someone else when the day finally comes. Rachelle and her team made the planning process as easy as possible for us and they completely washed our worries away! Our reception was amazing and all of our expectations were surpassed. We couldn't have asked for a better group of people to work with... it was perfect!"  -  Brianne Geetings

"It was an amazing weekend from golf to the spa, and of course, our wedding. The convenience of having our wedding and ceremony at one location was convenient for our out-of-town guests, as well as the bridal party. No worries about transportation or people getting lost, everything worked out smoothly and was quite memorable for all who attended." - Domanick & Bobbie Squires

"We wanted the best for our Wedding Day and the Grand Traverse Resort delivered the Best!" - Tracey & Renzo

"Our wedding was held at Grand Traverse Resort & Spa and our service and reception were absolutely beautiful. We owe the success of our wedding to the Resort's Special Events Manager/Wedding Coordinator. She offered us many opportunities as well as ideas. She made all of our dreams come true. We couldn't of asked for a more perfect day!!!" - Derek and Erin Golec

"To anyone thinking of getting married at Grand Traverse Resort & Spa, every detail remains clear in my mind. From the long, flower-lined walk to the tent, to the sunset on the beach, it was the perfect night. Our ceremony took place under the huge tent where we overlooked the golf course and bay. Our reception was in the ballroom and we ate on risers so we could see our guests. We returned to the tent for drinks and dancing but the highlight was the after party on the beach with s'mores and fireworks.

Their Special Events Manager/Wedding Coordinator made this event easy and enjoyable, even with us being from out of town. She handled every detail, down to the flowers on the cake so that we could enjoy every minute. I cannot imagine a more perfect place to get married and looking through our wedding album with the beautiful golf course and bay background in every picture only reinforces that we choose the perfect spot to begin our life together." - Marc and Katie Grass

"Our wedding day was the most memorable experience that we will carry with us forever. The Resort's Wedding Coordinator was so helpful, she went above and beyond to make our dreams come to life on our wedding day. The food was delicious and the staff was so helpful and accommodating. Aside from the beautiful grounds and scenery, our stay at Grand Traverse Resort & Spa was very pleasant. Our guests were very pleased with all of the amenities Grand Traverse Resort & Spa had to offer. Thank you to everyone who made our wedding day a success!" - Tim & Heather Davis

The Special Events Manager/Wedding Coordinator was fabulous - insightful, helpful, organized, and a whole lot of fun. We couldn't have asked for more! Everything down to the last detail was just perfect. One of our friends from Colorado even had so much fun in Traverse City that they moved there the next year. Thanks, guys, for the amazing time!" - Paige Archey
