"For the Love of Mackinac"

Hi! My name is Carole Erbel, and I can help you to prepare for and manage your wedding on beautiful Mackinac Island. As your wedding coordinator, I will help make your wedding day the most memorable day of your life by assisting you in selecting the perfect ceremony and reception sites, contracting the finest and most reputable vendors, creating a fabulous menu, and being there to help with the rehearsal dinner, wedding, reception and other special events.

When you are planning that BIG DAY, you want it to be something special. That's why you've chosen Mackinac Island. But now you're worried that it's so far from home and there's so much to do! Relax...
Getting married away from home is a challenge in itself and although the island has a special charm, it can offer some unique challenges and obstacles. But I can help! Having lived on Mackinac Island for over 20 years, I offer unsurpassed knowledge and experience about Mackinac weddings. I have also helped manage hundreds of island weddings over the past ten years.
As your wedding coordinator, I am here to make your wedding day the most memorable day of your life. I will help you select the perfect ceremony and reception site, contract for the finest and most reputable vendors, and help you put together fabulous menus. My deep personal knowledge and connections on Mackinac will help you choose the best venues and vendors available. Most importantly, you will have complete personal on-site attention the day of your wedding.
I enjoy getting to know my clients and helping them make their unique vision for a special day a reality. On your day I am there to make sure that things flow smoothly and that you are relaxed and enjoying the day along with your guests.
