Want to try something a little different at your wedding reception?


Consider some of these hot wedding reception trends.


1. Cocktail Wedding Reception

Think vintage inspired classic cocktails, and pair them with other great pieces of the 50's and 60's like vintage inspired bridesmaid dresses, a live band and a great vintage "get away" car to drive off into the sunset in after the evening ends. Traverse City's quaint downtown and our Grand Traverse Bay beachfront will make for perfect photo opportunities.

2. Waterfront Weddings & Banquets

Waterfront weddings are a hot commodity. They create a beautiful natural ambiance without having to go overboard with decorations. Check out our waterfront wedding location.

3. Local Menu's

Our chefs at Traverse City's Holiday Inn West Bay love working with brides to create locally inspired menus just for the wedding banquet. We are not limited to the banquet menu items listed on our website so you can let your imagination run wild. Since Traverse City is the cherry capital of the world out of town visitors may really enjoy unique cherry inspired menu items to give them a taste of the local flavors.

4. Late Night Snacks

Have you been to a wedding yet where they roll out the pizza at 11pm? If you haven't it's only a matter of time. The new late night snack trend is here to stay, and why not after all that dancing we need a little something to keep celebrating into the night. At Holiday Inn West Bay we can accommodate your late night snack cravings in your wedding banquet plans.

5. Cupcakes

Who can resist those delicious little cakes? Especially when you can opt for three or four different flavor options instead of just one?

6. Family Style Service

This is great because it allows you to offer guests more options for their main course and it encourages people at the table to interact with each other making the meal a nice icebreaker.

7. Comfort Foods Gone Gourmet

Chicken sandwiches, Mac-n-cheese and mashed potatoes can all be upgraded to ooh la la with some creative toppings and a special presentation.

8. Candy Buffet

Those shiny wrappers, fun shapes and variety of flavors allow for a fun decorating opportunity as well as a sure fire way to appeal to a diverse array of taste buds.
