Saturday Morning in South Haven
Since the celebration begins this afternoon, here are a few ways to enjoy the morning before it's time to get ready!
The Morning "Quick List"
Coffee & A Stroll: Grab a coffee at Cafe Julia and walk the South Haven Pier to see the lighthouse. It's the quintessential South Haven experience and only takes about 45 minutes.
The Blueberry Route: Stop by The Blueberry Store on Phoenix Street for some famous Michigan blueberry treats to snack on while you get ready.
Express Yourself Art Barn: For the early birds, the Art Barn is a fun way to spend an hour or two being creative without a huge time commitment.
Boutique Shopping: The shops on Phoenix Street usually open by 10 AM—perfect for a quick walk-through to find a souvenir or a last-minute accessory.
Short & Scenic (Best for 9 AM - 11 AM)
Summerhouse Lavender Farm: A quick, peaceful walk through the lavender fields is a great way to relax before the wedding festivities begin.
Evergreen Lane Creamery: Visit the goats and grab some hand-crafted cheese for a pre-wedding snack.
Saugatuck Mini Golf: If you have kids (or are just competitive), a quick round of putt-putt is easy to fit in.
Pre-Wedding Bites
Sherman's Dairy Bar: It's never too early for ice cream. They open at 11 AM—get there right when they open to beat the line!
Clementine's: If you want a sit-down lunch, get there right at opening (usually 11 AM) so you have plenty of time to head back and get dressed.
A Friendly Note on Timing
Pro-Tip: While we love the Saugatuck Dune Rides and the Star of Saugatuck Boat Tours, these typically take 2-3 hours including travel and wait times.
