Let us help you select the ideal location, accommodations, and resources to meet all of the needs of your group. From facilities to extra-curricular activities, we can help you plan a terrific group retreat.
The Cadillac Area is home to 14 diverse primary event facilities. Five of these facilities have direct access to lodging onsite with four of the five offering onsite catering as well. We can accommodate a variety of capacities when it comes to groups and events from small gatherings to hosting a high attendee count.
