Rachel & Ariel’s Bay Harbor private estate wedding was a grand and unforgettable event! The bride and groom started their day with yachting, swimming and yoga before getting ready for a day of celebration! These fun and relaxing activities set the tone for a wonderful day!

Rachel & Ariel’s wedding took place at the groom’s longtime vacation home in Bay Harbor, MI with around 200 guests. They enjoyed their ceremony on the lawn of their waterfront estate and were surrounded by their close friends and family as they tied the knot! 

The couple personalized their wedding by adding in Jewish and military elements! At the ceremony, Rachel and Ariel participated in the Jewish tradition of circling around each other and breaking a glass. As the bride and groom exited the ceremony, they walked underneath the swords of servicemen to incorporate Ariel’s service in the United States Army.

This wedding was impeccably designed by tying together their bohemian style with a patriotic theme for the Fourth of July Weekend! Their special day was beautifully executed down to every detail and is a perfect example of what a northern Michigan wedding should look like!
