Let’s face it, there are two things you need for the ideal wedding: the perfect partner and a stellar venue. And guess what? We can sort out at least one of those at the Bavarian Inn. Our meticulously planned wedding packages cover every single detail from mouth-watering provisions to photo locations straight out of your “Dream Wedding” Pinterest board to smooth management that will ensure your day is stress-free. It’s a day all about love and unity, and here at the Bavarian Inn, we love making your wedding unity the best it can be. Let’s tie the knot, the Bavarian way!
Tying the knot in the heart of “Michigan’s Little Bavaria” is an unparalleled experience. What better place to do it than on the Bavarian Inn Lodge’s charming 13 acres of riverfront property? Nestled in the charming surroundings of Frankenmuth, Michigan our European-themed architecture, provisions, and ambiance echo a fairy-tale wedding set in the idyllic landscapes of the German countryside.
We are equipped with decades of experience to ensure every detail of your big day is beyond perfection. Years of planning weddings have allowed us to build a perfected list of recommendations for florists, wedding cakes, DJs, musicians, spas, salons, horse-drawn carriages, décor specialists, photographers, and ordained ministers. Hospitality is our forte, so making unforgettable memories doesn’t stop at your wedding weekend. Hosting bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, and family brunches is another way we specialize in celebrating the unity of our couples.
For those of you who plan on inviting everyone including your first-grade teacher and parents long lost cousin, weddings hosted at the Bavarian Inn Lodge can accommodate up to 425 guests indoors or outdoors! However, if you’re looking to host a more intimate gathering a weekend at the Bavarian Inn Restaurant might suit you better. The Bavarian Inn Restaurant has over 100 years of experience in hosting the perfect wedding weekend. Additionally, our diverse menu selection will leave everyone feeling satisfied and ready to dance the night away.
We also understand that during celebratory weekends as special as these, fun should not be excluded. At the Lodge, our Family Fun Center is the largest in any Midwest hotel with an 18-hole indoor miniature golf course, an indoor waterpark with four swimming pools, two water slides, and three whirlpools, Laser Tag, Emilie’s Eis (ice cream), and over 170+ video and redemption games. However, if you are looking for a more tranquil weekend, we can fit that aesthetic as well. Our serene estate perfectly intertwines traditional Bavarian architecture with modern comforts. Offering beautifully designed rooms, delectable cuisine, and delightful amenities such as pools and spas it guarantees a rejuvenating escape. The alluring River View ceremony site, coupled with exquisite reception venues, creates a fairytale-like atmosphere, ensuring your big day is unforgettable. Our properties are also just steps away from local shopping, unique restaurants, and attractions. But hey, don’t take it from us, take it from some of the couples we’ve hosted in previous years.
“I am still getting compliments on how amazing our wedding was and how great the food was! The staff was so attentive. We truly felt like royalty on our wedding day. I cannot say enough good things about our stay and our wedding there. My mother-in-law already gave you a 5-star review in the Trip Advisor. We are owners of multiple businesses and we know how much time and effort it takes to pull off something like this seamlessly. You and your staff did it though. We cannot thank you enough. Frankenmuth has always been special to us but now the Bavarian Inn Lodge is too!” – Steven and Koula (Christi) Stoll
“Unforgettable! Words cannot express how impressed we were with the Bavarian Inn Lodge team for providing us with a wedding experience that exceeded ALL our expectations. From planning to execution, they were there to make every step easy. And the food!!! Can’t say enough about the food. Location…being in the heart of downtown Frankenmuth there was always something for our guests to do throughout the weekend when they weren’t enjoyed the amenities at the Lodge. We had our pictures taken around the Lodge property and the Wooden Covered Bridge, absolutely beautiful. Being able to stay overnight right there at the Lodge and then going downstairs for brunch n Sunday was beyond convenient. The Frankenmuth Bavarian Inn Lodge is a one-stop shop for everything! We highly recommend it to all!” – The Kaczynskis
It is our honor to be a part of so many families’ traditions, including wedding ceremonies, wedding receptions, bridal showers, and rehearsal dinners. Let us help you create the special day you have always imagined!
