When you want your special day to be as one-of-a-kind as you are, it’s important to offer some unique opportunities.
One easy solution is to incorporate family traditions and favorite games into the reception. A more expensive solution is to hire a special performer, like dancers, artists, face painters, live musicians, even your favorite team’s mascot.
Our suggestion? Take something traditional that you’d have at your wedding anyway, like a big cake or a bar, and remix it with a more distinctive option. Here are just a few of our ideas for unique wedding vendors in West Michigan.
Tipsy Burro

Who needs cocktail waiters when you can have a charming little donkey serving up beverages at your wedding? The Tipsy Burro has two loveable miniature donkeys, Benny and Bandit, ready to melt hearts at your reception. They can dress however you like, and will roam around with whatever you give them to carry—champagne, beer, tequila, party favors, ice cream, it’s up to you. There’s truly nothing else like it in West Michigan.
