Top Ludington Venues

• Spaces for 200 Guests

The Stearns Hotel has welcomed guests to downtown Ludington, Michigan since 1903, when lumber baron Justus Stearns built it as the city's first major hotel. The property retains its early twentieth-century character while offering updated amenities, positioned close to the car ferry, shopping, dining, parks, marinas, and Lake Michigan beaches. The Grand Ballroom carries on a tradition of hosting celebrations that stretches back more than a century, accommodating wedding receptions, holiday parties, reunions, and graduation gatherings. Full bar service and a catering kitchen support events on site, and the hotel provides linens, china, flatware, glassware, and customizable chair covers. For livelier events, the Tiki Nightclub — operating since 1968 as Ludington's original Tiki bar — features a two-level dance floor, DJ entertainment, and light shows.
