Davenport Wedding 8-26-2023

Our wedding was amazing, the staff Rachel, Dominique and Faith was awesome! I would recommend anyone that's looking for a venue to get married or any event. The staff made everything easy and exciting.

Wonderful Experience on the Ovation!!

In February 2023, we decided to have our wedding on the Ovation Yacht in July 2023. Rachel and the entire team worked with us from the beginning to the end. With a small window of time, everything was planned perfectly. The entire team has everything down to a science!! From designs, to bakery, to the ceremony, everyone was so helpful and experienced. Our special day couldn’t have gone better. We are still talking about it!! We are very appreciative of the entire team involved with the IOYC. We suggest this experience to anyone who has the desire to plan any event. We’re very grateful for all whom were involved with our nuptials. We were even greeted by the president at the end of our cruise! He gave us wonderful compliments and we had the chance to express our gratitude to him. We are currently planning another event for the near future on the Ovation so we will be back!!!!

Highly Recommend!

At Emerald City Designs, we love working with Infinity and Ovation Yacht Charters!

SAUGATUCK, MI -- Move over Key West, a West Michigan beach town beat out oceanside resorts for a spot in USA Today’s top ‘Best Coastal Small Town’ list.

Saugatuck landed at number two on the top 10 list, surpassed only by Stuart, Florida, part of the Treasure Coast.

Alongside Lake Michigan the beach town is known for its art, comedy, music and beer scene in addition to award-winning beaches and grassy dunes.

“It’s such an honor for us to be recognized as a leading destination alongside such a remarkable list of scenic coastal towns,” said Lisa Mize, the executive director of the Saugatuck Douglas Area Convention & Visitors Bureau.

“Saugatuck holds a special place in the hearts of both visitors who return annually and locals who consider it their home. With our expansive Lake Michigan shoreline, our beaches that have received accolades, quaint downtown streets, and breathtaking dune scenery, the Saugatuck Douglas region stands out as a truly special place that everyone should experience.”

USA Today highlighted the Saugatuck’s breweries, wine tastings, art galleries, wedding venues and family vacation spots.

The “Best Coastal Small Towns” is featured on USA TODAY’s 10Best.com. For more information and to see the list, visit the website here .

Nominees for the “Best Coastal Small Town” category were chosen by a panel of relevant experts which include a combination of editors from USA TODAY; editors from 10Best.com; and relevant expert contributors.

Judge shows mercy to ex-Romulus mayor who spent campaign money on yacht club, wedding

Former Romulus Mayor LeRoy Burcroff used campaign funds to help pay for his daughter's yacht club wedding, his yacht club dues and a Florida vacation with friends — but he isn't going to prison for any of it, despite his guilty plea.

Instead, a federal judge on Thursday gave the convicted ex-politician three years' probation and four months' home confinement, sparing him a prison sentence that the government sought. Federal prosecutors had requested that Burcroff be locked up for 14 months for betraying the public's trust by using more than $15,000 in campaign money for personal spending.

"The residents of Romulus, Michigan, put their trust in defendant LeRoy Burcroff. Those who supported the defendant with their wallet and their vote likely never expected this aspiring politician to spend their hard-earned money on a family wedding, a Florida vacation with friends or a yacht club membership," Assistant U.S. Attorney Eaton P. Brown wrote in a sentencing memo that urged the judge to lock Burcroff up.

"Sadly, over a period of over four years, the defendant made a mockery of the city’s slogan — the 'Home of Opportunity' — by stealing thousands of dollars in campaign donations to enhance his lifestyle."

Brown added: "The defendant’s deceit and dishonesty must be punished."

'I made some terrible mistakes, made some terrible decisions'

Burcroff, though, convinced U.S. District Judge Denise Paige Hood to show him mercy. In a letter to the judge, the 59-year-old father and grandfather described himself as a prayerful man and avid community volunteer who was lucky enough to marry his high school sweetheart, raise children with her and pass down his family's theme to his kids: "Always do the right thing."

As for his crime — he pleaded guilty to wire fraud in 2022, admitting he used $4,500 in campaign funds to help cover his daughter's yacht-club wedding — he wrote:

"I agonize everyday over what I did. I wish I could do things over, but I know I can't."

He went on to say:

"I never thought I would be in this position standing before a judge, admitting to breaking the law, and asking for your leniency. ... I made some terrible mistakes, made some terrible decisions. ... I am so sorry."

While Burcroff pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud, he did not admit during his plea hearing to using more than $15,000 in campaign money for personal reasons, which is what he was charged with.

According to the government, in addition to using campaign money to help pay for a wedding bar tab and church ceremony fees, Burcroff also did the following:

• In 2017, he used campaign money to overpay his membership dues at the Belleville Yacht Club. When the club realized the mistake, management wrote a $2,000 check to reimburse him for what they believed was an oversight. "This was no misstep, however," prosecutors wrote in court documents. "Upon receiving the reimbursement, (he) promptly deposited the sum into his personal bank account."
• In 2014, Burcroff bought a $23,000 Ford Focus with campaign funds that he used “extensively for personal purposes,” then later bought a $27,000 Jeep Wrangler that he used for “similar impermissible personal excursions.”
• In March 2018, he bought his way onto the board of a local trade organization, Power Transmission Distributors Association, by making a $1,000 donation to the group from his campaign account.
• In January 2019, he flew his wife and two friends to Florida for a weekend vacation — courtesy of his campaign donors. The couples stayed in a luxury hotel and dined in fine restaurants to the tune of more than $4,000 — all of which was billed to the campaign. The friends who accompanied him on the trip reimbursed him for their portion of the vacation. Burcroff then deposited the friends' money into his personal account, thus doubling his money.

In 2020, after WXYZ broke details about Burcroff's campaign scheme, Burcroff reimbursed his campaign $35,000.

Following Burcroff's sentencing hearing, U.S. Attorney Dawn Ison stated that Burcroff’s conviction and sentence"underscores our commitment to ensuring that" communities in southeast Michigan "are represented by public officials who have integrity and are seeking office not for their self-interest, but for the good of the people they are elected to represent.”

Added Detroit's FBI chief Cheyvoryea Gibson: "The former mayor's actions severely undermined the confidence of those who bestowed trust and faith in him and his office. ... We will not tolerate misconduct and will do everything we can to ensure justice is served."
