Romantics will feel at home in Put-in-Bay, where there are as many unusual and beautiful places to propose as there are unique locations and ways to get married. Because Put-in-Bay loves lovers, you will have no problem making your dream wedding come true. The best choice you can make to fulfill that dream is to leave all the planning details and hassles to the able wedding planners at our recommended venue, the Commodore Resort.

We can arrange complete wedding services, providing everything from tuxedo and gown rentals to champagne and wedding cake, photographer, antique limousine, music, flowers and more. (some services are arranged via mainland vendors) We can work with you to plan every aspect of the wedding to as little as you wish us to be involved. And, of course, luxurious romantic honeymoon accommodations fit for a king and queen right here at Commodore Resort. We'll "go on location," too, to service your wedding, traveling to historic sites, churches, architecturally-impressive chapels, gardens and other locations throughout Put-in-Bay. Just contact the wedding experts at Commodore Resort.

When booking with Commodore Resort for your wedding reception, the bride and groom are the most important aspects and we wish to work closely with you to make sure the day is absolutely perfect! Our wedding consultants are professional and work hard to make sure you get exactly what you want in your planning, reception and wedding services. The key to a successful function is advance planning. Our staff makes sure each aspect is covered and checked and then walks through your event the week before to make sure each aspect is checked twice. Please contact us for more information on our wedding and reception services.

If you wish to plan each item yourself, and many people DO choose to save money and do their own planning, contact us for a complete listing of the important things to remember, such as officiants, caterers, wedding cakes, flowers, wedding locations, DJ services, reception sites, and accommodations.

There are many ways to customize your Put in Bay wedding ceremony and reception. Our wedding planners will start with a fact sheet that asks questions of you to determine the best possible match in order to plan your special event.

For additional information and Put in Bay wedding planning assistance, please contact us by e-mailing our wedding coordinator. Please keep in mind that weekends book many months in advance, so plan your Put in Bay wedding early!
