Convenience

Plan your cocktail reception, sit-down or buffet dinner, luncheon, rehearsal dinner, brunch after the wedding, even the Wedding Service itself at the Boulevard Inn. The guest suites offer ideal accomodations for all out of town guests.

The Perfect Setting

The inn is perfectly situated on the edge of the quaint town of St. Joseph, perched on the bluff overlooking the pristine beach at Silver Lake Park, the Lighthouse, and the sunsets over Lake Michigan. The first floor features full-length windows and French doors opening up onto a terrace to fully take in the spectacular view. The dining room evokes an authentic French Bistro, with beautiful cherry stained paneling and floors, granite topped bar and architectural detail. The overall effect combines the comfortable charm of a country location with a casual, elegant sense of style.

The Gem

While the Boulevard Inn offers the ideal surroundings for the perfect gathering, The Bistro is the area's most highly regarded restaurant. Ali Barker is the Chef, nationally recognized since his days as Executive Chef at New York City's continually top rated Union Square Cafe, and for his own restaurant in Cleveland, Ohio, that was featured in Bon Appetite Magazine as one of the country's best new restaurants when it opened in 1992. He has been featured in Newsweek, USA Today, Esquire, The New York Times and countless other publications as a culinary leader. He brings to St. Joseph his style of New American Cuisine that is both down-to-earth and sophisticated. Allow him and his staff to provide you with an event that is as special, personal and memorable as your wedding should be.
