Off-site meeting venues

The Traverse City region provides several options for off-property events on a year-round basis. Consider the suggestions below. We feel certain you will find an event venue or theme to meet your group's needs.

Hold a meeting at the only free-standing meeting venue on the water in Traverse City. It offers full-service banquet menus and complete audio-visual equipment with technical support.  The Hagerty Center, part of the Great Lakes Campus of Northwestern Michigan College, can accommodate meetings of up to 575 people in its meeting rooms on the shore of West Grand Traverse Bay.  And with the Holiday Inn West Bay and Bayshore Resort being located adjacet to the Hagerty Center you have 300 guest rooms creating a unique "campus concept" on the Bay for your event.

Enjoy a group wine tasting at one of the region's Wine Country sampling award-winning Rieslings and sparkling, champagne-style wines. Wineries are open for tasting year-round.

Board your group on a vintage tall ship for a sail on Grand Traverse Bay. Experience a sunset picnic sail or even a cruise to the Manitou Islands.

Provide your attendees an evening of culture by arranging a private event at the acclaimed Dennos Museum Center. Permanent exhibits, as well as visiting exhibitions of national and international significance, make for a sophisticated and unique event.

Your attendees can stroll amid beautifully restored, rare antique musical instruments in an authentic, turn-of-the-century setting at The Music House.
