With my back to the Betsie Bay and Lake Michigan, I focused and took this photo of The Elizabeth Oliver Center for the Arts (formerly known as the Crystal Lake Art Center).

You may have already heard, this is Benzie County’s newest and most exciting venue for special events, especially wedding receptions. They display beautiful art and work very well with professional catering companies,  like us!

They are located adjacent to Harbor Shores Resort, which has been accommodating brides and grooms by providing their beach on Lake Michigan for wedding ceremonies. Super cool for those who have always dreamed of have their wedding on the beach.

This entire winter has been wacky. Wacky it was today as well. I sea kayaked the entire north shore of Crystal Lake. It definitely felt like a late summer day without all of the people and activities. I slept with the windows down last night. Its still winter!

Before a visit to the Colorado Rockies, I took this shot of the Elberta Life Saving Station. My buddy Ross fixed all of the windows and doors as you can see his construction materials. We catered about 7-10 gigs there last year and hope to do about as many this year too.   This place is one of Benzie’s premier wedding reception sites. Beach ceremonies are commonly conducted nearby at either the Elberta Beach or Frankfort Beach. Have your wedding ceremony on the beach and host your reception near by at The Elberta Life Savings station. You’ll be happy you did, especially if you have The Crystal Lake Catering Company share northern Michgan’s best with you and your guests.
