Boatwerks wedding

Ellie & Joe’s Rainy Boatwerks Wedding | Holland, Michigan

It rains all day.
The kind of steady, soft rain that never really stops.

And somehow, Ellie and Joe’s wedding at Boatwerks Waterfront Restaurant feels even more perfect because of it.

A fall wedding in Holland, MI brings a mood you can’t replicate any other season. Cooler air. Softer light. Deeper colors. Ellie and Joe’s Boatwerks wedding captures everything that makes autumn weddings in Michigan so special—even with rain falling all day.

Boatwerks Waterfront Restaurant sits along Lake Macatawa, making it one of the most sought-after locations for a Michigan wedding by the water. On this October day, the rain adds atmosphere instead of distraction. The lake fades into the sky, creating a calm, cinematic backdrop that feels uniquely West Michigan.
