Wedding Room Blocks

Conveniently located where Northwest Indiana, Chicago, and Lake Michigan meet, The Inn is easily accessible to your wedding guests. Southwest Michigan is affectionately coined as “The Riviera of the Midwest” with its quaint beach towns, wineries, and activities. A group block of guestrooms may be offered to wedding guests in conjunction with your wedding festivities. Blocks guarantee guestroom availability until a specified cut-off date when the unreserved rooms from the block release back to the general public.  June through October weekends may require a two-night minimum stay. Check with your Sales & Events Manager at 269-408-9113 or [email protected] on the availability of a guestroom block.
