Ellie & Alexander

Date: August 22, 2026

Location: Elk Rapids, Michigan

Wedding Mass: 2:00 PM • Sacred Heart Catholic Church • 143 Charles

Reception: 5:00 PM • White Birch Lodge • 571 Meguzee Point Rd

Dress Code: Semi-formal (tie optional). Please note, the reception will take place in a tent outside the lodge on a grassy area, so we recommend comfortable shoes!

Kids: Bring your little ones! They are welcome at both the wedding mass and reception. We just ask you keep an extra close eye on them near the lake, as there won't be a lifeguard on duty.

All units at the White Birch Lodge are reserved exclusively this weekend for our wedding guests to book. The property is lakefront and includes private beaches, docks, kayaks, paddleboards, fire pits, and shared outdoor spaces. Accommodations range from rustic cabins to condos and townhouses.
