We had the most incredible wedding at Bay Pointe Woods in May 2024, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! The venue is absolutely stunning, with beautiful natural surroundings, serene atmosphere, and perfectly maintained grounds. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of, making our special day feel effortless and stress-free. From the moment we booked, we felt completely supported. The team at Bay Pointe Woods was responsive, professional, and genuinely invested in making our wedding everything we dreamed of. The outdoor ceremony space was breathtaking, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how perfect the setting was. The reception area was equally impressive, providing the perfect backdrop for a fun and elegant evening. We loved that everything was seamlessly coordinated, and the flow of the day was smooth from start to finish.

This place was GORGEOUS! It has beautiful outdoor ceremony sites, an amazing indoor reception spot that could have easily doubled as a ceremony site in the event of bad weather, his and hers silos, bathrooms, AND you can choose your own caterer (or do it yourself). They were so wonderfully accommodating and helpful…to the point where they were weed whacking the night of the rehearsal dinner to help us prepare the photo spots we needed. It was such a joy to have our wedding here!

It’s honestly hard to put into words how much this venue, and the amazing team behind it, meant to us. My husband and I got married here just a couple of weeks ago, and it was the most perfect day we could have ever imagined. So much of that is thanks to this place and the people who made it all happen. From the very beginning, Jillissa was absolutely incredible. She was the kindest, most organized and responsive person - always quick to answer our (many) questions, and she sent us everything we could’ve possibly needed, from videos and photos to charts and layouts. She really took the time to get to know us and what we were envisioning, offering suggestions or possibilities/options along the way when we were left unsure. By the time our wedding day came around, it genuinely felt like we were working with a friend - someone who truly cared and had our backs every step of the way. When wedding planning became chaotic and stressful, Jillissa provided encouragement, support, an uplifting spirit at exactly the right times. Even in those inevitable last-minute moments where things came up, she jumped in without hesitation. She went above and beyond in ways we’ll genuinely never forget. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful. The town of Marshall is sooo full of charm. It's walkable, historic, and full of kind, welcoming people. It felt like the perfect place to bring everyone we love together. And Schuler’s catering was unreal!! Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the food. The entire service staff was absolutely amazing - so warm, so professional, and completely on top of everything. Because of them, the whole day flowed effortlessly, and we got to just relax and be in the moment without a single worry or hiccup. I wish I could thank them more. What really blew us away, though, were the little touches. We had a private tasting with custom menus and a welcome sign at Schuler's, a sweet card waiting at our hotel (The Royal Hotel - perfectly located AT the venue), and even a handwritten note and gift from the venue (a gift that truly meant more to us than I can express online). Those are the kinds of things that don’t show up on a contract but come from people who truly care, and it showed in every single detail. Choosing this venue was easily one of the best decisions we made. We’ll always remember how beautiful it was (our first pull to the venue itself), but more than that, we’ll remember how it made us feel. So loved, so supported, and so genuinely celebrated. I’ll forever be grateful we got to start our marriage here. This venue will forever hold a special place in my heart and I hope the same for others.

I have worked with R&R on multiple occasions now and you truly could not act for a more versatile venue in the Southwest Michigan area. Each wedding I have been to at this venue has been put together in it’s own beautiful, unique way! I was also able to work with both Katie and Megan separately and it is clear how much of their hearts they have put into bringing this venue to life. From initial booking all the way to through your big day, the R&R girls know what to do. I see nothing but growth for R&R and I am so excited to follow along with their future projects and accomplishments!

Working with the orchard wedding venue on many occasions has been super fun and with ease. As a vendor I'm able to communicate with the owners and receive quick responses back with regard to loading and unloading equipment. Easy access to multiple overhead doors makes the process of setting up for weddings a lot easier than other locations. The staff themselves are super friendly and know exactly what they're doing based on experience I believe honestly. If there is any need for help with anything such as tables or chairs the venue without question is able to help. Keep in mind everything is a two-way street and venues like this expect professionalism and I can appreciate that. From time to time the breakdown of equipment can be lengthy in the process. The Orchard wedding venue has much patience and allowing things to be taken down in a sufficient amount of time. I truly recommend this venue for your special day it will be unforgettable from the picturesque view to multiple locations for wedding ceremonies.

Cold Springs Resort 
Hamilton, IN
  • Up to 350 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $2,500

Hamilton Lake's Cold Springs evolved from a 1870 farm purchase by Simpson Watkins. By 1885, Watkins Grove hosted picnics, leading to a hotel (1898), dance hall, and early 1900s recreation. Cold Springs Cottage Park, platted in 1896, grew significantly, with a unique leasing system. Sundays featured bands and speakers. Visitors arrived by train. A larger hotel opened in 1914, and the dance hall became a central draw with live music. A beach area developed later. The hotel prospered through the 20th century, adding a bar and modernizing. An 18-hole golf course was built. Dancing remained popular with big bands, later transitioning to rock. Today, Cold Springs offers a hotel, dining, bar, beach, golf, cottages, and retro dances, still family-run after five generations.
