Frankenmuth Bavarian Inn Lodge Fairytale Wedding

Featured Vendor:  Bavarian Inn Lodge

Time-honored tradition and contemporary convenience intertwine at the Bavarian Inn Lodge, where weddings are an imaginative, historic experience of romance and fun in world-famous Frankenmuth, Michigan. As enchanting as a German fairy tale, Frankenmuth boasts some of the best shopping, dining and cultural events available in the state. 

Every little girl grows up dreaming of her fairy tale wedding, but only the ones who come to the Bavarian Inn Lodge enjoy the added ambiance of an entire town that replicates that German fairy tale feeling.

Generations of wedding couples have had the unique experience of celebrating their special day in one of our two perfect settings: our outdoor and indoor ceremony options.

We offer an outdoor wedding ceremony located in our beautiful Sommer Garten that overlooks the Cass River. If the weather is not cooperating on your big day or you prefer an indoor ceremony, we have you covered (literally)! Our indoor courtyard turns into a wedding wonderland when you choose to hold your ceremony inside.

We have a team of wedding experts that can give you recommendations for florists, wedding cakes, DJs, musicians, spas, salons, photographers, ordained ministers, and even horse-drawn carriages! We do whatever it takes to ensure your wedding is perfect.

After you say,“I do”, the celebration continues as we make sure your reception is everything you imagine.

Our exquisite reception rooms can accommodate up to almost any size. We offer rooms that can fit 50 wedding guests to rooms that can fit up to 425 wedding guests!

We offer extensive menu options, including our world-famous Frankenmuth® style chicken dinners and unique Mix & Mingle station menus, you and your guests will have their taste buds watering for more! Our combination of family recipes and fresh ingredients makes for a unique Bavarian experience.

After the celebration is over, you and your guests don’t have to leave! Enjoy the wedding and reception, and then crash here in one of our 360 European-themed guest rooms (including whirlpool and family suites) that sit along 13 acres of beautiful riverfront property right in the heart of “Michigan’s Little Bavaria.”

Let us make your fairy tale wedding dream come true!

Read what others had to say about their wedding here at the Bavarian Inn Lodge:

“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 enjoying the amenities at the Lodge. We had our pictures taken around the Lodge property and the Wooden Covered Bridge, absolutely beautiful. The Frankenmuth Bavarian Inn Lodge is a one-stop shop for everything! We highly recommend it to all!”

“Not to be “cliché” and use the “Dream Come True” Wedding Day quote but it is the exact description of our Ceremony and Reception thanks to the staff and Bethany, to whom we described the vision of our perfect day in just a few phone calls from 2000 miles away and she brought it all together, down to the smallest details, the personal and attentive service from Matt, during our ceremony and dinner reception where the staff went above and beyond to bring our guests that needed assistance, their delicious dinner. The comments from all of our guest was “This is one of the nicest weddings we have been to in a long time and the staff was so friendly. “An added surprise was the personal “Congratulations” from Judy Zehnder before the ceremony and her personal greetings to our guests at the reception. Do not think twice about sharing your special day with the wonderful people at the Bavarian Inn.
