The best day!
The Peninsula Room made our wedding day feel effortless from start to finish. The team was prompt and organized in all their communications leading up to the big day, answering every question we had with friendly, detailed responses. What really stood out was how accommodating they were—nothing felt like too much to ask. Throughout our reception, they checked in on us regularly to make sure everything was running smoothly and that we were enjoying ourselves. The space itself has this beautiful northern Michigan charm that gave our celebration such a warm, genuine feel. We couldn't have asked for a better venue and team to bring our wedding vision to life.

Peninsula Room Review
Long but honest review! - Overall, we had a good experience with the Peninsula Room and the actual wedding was amazing. However there were some portions of the planning process that left a bad taste in our mouth. - There was no mention at our visit that the contract was going to change. We were told everything would be online so we went by their information. When the contract was changed and the price was increased 5,000, the original price was eventually honored after some back and forth emailing. - My credit card was charged after I specifically checked don’t on the contract. It was refunded but that was a costly mistake. - Even after saying they were in the process of changing their contract online (email of 9/25/24), the contract posted online was still not changed on their website as of 10/16/24. It has since been changed but the discrepancy left us uneasy, especially when we were repeatedly told information was all found online. - Food minimum price was changed when checked on 2/16/25. Now 15,000 (not including venue price) - At the in person tasting, we had good interactions with higher management. However, previous to that Barb was rude with our wedding coordinator on the phone and we also felt that we were a bother when trying to get information or answers for our questions. However once we started working with Madi, the event manager, we had a more pleasant experience. - The actual wedding day was beautiful and went so smooth! The staff working the event were amazing, very accommodating, helpful, and made for a wonderful day! - The food was delicious and we appreciated how they made a separate plate of appetizers for the bride and groom. - The server Andrew was amazing! He was at our tasting and the wedding. He made sure we had everything we wanted/needed. The Peninsula Room is a beautiful venue with delicious food overall; this just was just an honest explanation of our experience.
