Visitors below the bluff in St. Joseph are frequently greeted by large contingents of very happy people dressed to the nines, right in the middle of beach-goers headed to or from Lake Michigan. It’s not uncommon at all to see tuxedos and wedding gowns co-mingled with bikinis, flowery shirts and flip-flops. It’s all part of what makes Shadowland on Silver Beach the remarkably popular wedding venue it has become year after year. In fact, it’s part and parcel to helping them earn their spot among the winners of The Knot Best of Weddings.
Shadowland on Silver Beach has once again been selected as a 2018 –winner in The Knot Best of Weddings, an award representing the highest-rated wedding professionals as reviewed by real couples, their families and wedding guests on The Knot, the leading online wedding brand and app. This is the 6th year Shadowland has been selected for The Knot Best of Weddings — a stunning feat for a space that has only been around since 2010.
In 2018, only 3-percent of the approximately 300,000 local wedding professionals listed on TheKnot.com have received that distinguished accolade. In its twelfth annual year, The Knot continues its longstanding tradition of supporting local wedding vendors with The Knot Best of Weddings 2018, an annual by-couples, for-couples guide to the top wedding professionals across the country.
To determine the winners, The Knot assessed almost 3.6 million reviews across the various vendor categories—venues, musicians, florists, photographers, caterers and more. These winners represent the best of the best wedding professionals that a bride or groom would want to consider booking for their own unique wedding.
Needless to say, Shadowland on Silver Beach Executive Director Nicole Beltz is ecstatic, saying, “We are truly humbled to receive this award. We want to thank all of our couples that have shared their big day here at Shadowland. We really have the best brides and grooms in America.”
