Our beloved McLain State Park features towering pine forest, sand and pebble Lake Superior shoreline, a breakwall, and views of the Keweenaw Waterway Upper Entrance Light. McLain State Park offers pavilion rentals, with views of Lake Superior. Our pro-tip is to schedule your beachside ceremony around sunset. 

Imagine a beachside ceremony at sunset with a lighthouse in the background.

Tucked behind the town of Calumet and hidden by pine trees, this adorable barn may be right for you.  Beautiful wooden benches can be set up in the barn or outside for your official ceremony. Many parties will use the barn space as a reception area, but depending on the season and temperature, some opt to hold their reception in the neighboring Siskiwit Reception Hall & Conference Center.

Beachside ceremonies in Copper Harbor? We got you. Hunter's Point Park allows ceremonies on the beach during park hours. No reservation is required and you must bring your own supplies. This may be a great place to set up a homemade driftwood alter and grab some photos on your special day.
