Nancy Meyers Inspired Wedding

Filmmaker Nancy Meyers inspired the aesthetic for E&K’s lakeside wedding weekend at Fountain Point. The couple had guests coming in from all over, so a venue where everyone could stay on site gave them the gift of sharing Northern Michigan with friends and family in a much more personal way. Guests were able to rent boats, relax on the beach, and have bonfires in the evenings leading up to the wedding day; as well as explore nearby areas like Sleeping Bear Dunes or Fishtown in nearby Leland. E & K hosted a relaxed al fresco welcome party on the sprawling lawn the night before the wedding. On the day itself, they embraced the Northern Michigan lake life with a champagne boat cruise after their ceremony. Guests dined under a sailcloth tent with the breeze coming off Lake Leelanau and green and white lush florals decorating the tables and entry space. I’ve always loved weddings at this venue, and I think one of the most unique things about it is how you can host a very formal and elevated event, or lean into the camp vibes and keep things low key and casual. I love how E&K found the perfect balance of keeping the atmosphere breezy and laid back, but with elevated details and a focus on fashion.
