About Up North Events

Up North Events

Wedding Planning Service

Established in 2019, Up North Events is a wedding planning company in Northern Michigan. We work with all kinds of couples who have one thing in common: they want their wedding day to be meaningful, genuine, relaxed, and FUN. We like to discover the small details that make your celebration unique to you - little bits of your family history, special cultural traditions, and other personal touches. We believe in true love with open hearts and open minds.

We enjoy getting know you as a couple and chat about what brought you together and what brings you to Northern Michigan for your wedding. We are super friendly, but also very professional. We have a specific process for each of our packages and will guide you every step of the way! On your wedding day, we are focused and our attention to detail really shines. We prefer to remain behind-the-scenes while directing your vendor team and pulling everything together, making the event look effortless from the guest perspective.

Jenna, Shelby and the rest of the Up North Events can't be praised enough. These hard-working woman have the sweetest souls, great style, an impeccable eye for detail, and are well-organized and versed in the industry. Working on a vendor team with them let me see first hand their professionalism and skill for their craft! Your event couldn't be in better hands!
BEST DECISION EVER!!

I can't explain how happy I am that I hired Jenna and Up North Events! This team really took the lead and made sure our wedding day was flawless. We had lots of set up and timeline instructions and Jenna nailed it. Her team made sure everything and everyone was where they needed to be. They handled every detail with care and were a calm presence throughout the day. They also broke-down everything at the end of the night so we could enjoy our the time with our friends and family at the after party. The next day we arrived at our venue to find everything perfectly packed up and very organized! My only regret is that I didn't hire her for full planning services!
