Well folks, another wedding season is in the books! Our little corner of Southwest MI is putting outdoor venues to rest. It’s always bittersweet to look back on our season – so sad to see it go, yet so ready for a little downtime with our families! What can we say, 2018 was an amazing, …

So grateful to host Cassidy + Mike at The Veranda @ The Whitcomb this past weekend. Gorgeous decor, amazing pavilion ceremony, and amazing shots by Grant Beachy Photo!

See the Veranda for yourself -> http://www.verandaweddings.com/gallery/

What a wild weather day. We started with chilly fog and ended with a beautiful sunset. I love all the variety, both in setting and in light. I got a chance to get to know Michael and Cassidy a bit more too and it's clear they are two people who care deeply about those around them. Mike just seems like a total stand up guy, and Cassidy brought the details and the planning to life. Congrats guys!

It’s !!!

Did you know the old owner of the Whitcomb Hotel, purchased the “Maids of the Mist” fountain for only $500 in 1892?! ⛲️

The fountain was originally built in New York City in 1872, and was eventually shipped and permanently installed in St. Joseph in 1892. It sits across from the Veranda, and makes a picturesque focal point for your wedding photos!

Happy !

Did you know the original Whitcomb was originally built in 1831 and hailed as the "Mansion House"?

The hotel served as a lodging depot for travelers coming from Chicago to Detroit.

Throughout the nineteenth century, the Mansion House underwent ownership and name changes until it became the "Hotel Whitcomb" in 1891.

We adore our venue’s vintage charm and we love to share historical photos! 📷📸

Found this vintage postcard of the Veranda at the Whitcomb online!

Did you know the Veranda at the Whitcomb was built in 1928 and was once renowned as the "Saratoga of the Midwest," blending elegance and luxury with healthful activity in pursuit of the good life for all its guests.
