Stonebridge Golf Club was the perfect venue for our wedding. I worked at Stonebridge for 6 years and met my husband there, and I wanted nothing more than to get married at the beautiful venue. The staff was very easy to communicate with - Kim was always quick to respond and available whenever we had questions (even the silliest of questions). Kim and Jeff took care of everything we needed and made sure our day was exactly how we envisioned. The venue itself is beautiful, with indoor and outdoor spaces that provided a fun, open atmosphere for our guests. The tiki bar was a big hit! Justin, the chef was able to accommodate needs and made the best Swedish meatballs! Considering all that they handled for us and the quality of the venue, Stonebridge was a great value. They provide chairs/tables, linens, table settings, and all food and beverages making it an easy one stop shop. We would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a beautiful, accommodating venue and thoughtful staff for their special day.

We didn’t want a cookie-cutter wedding—we wanted something that felt fun, a little quirky, and totally us. This venue? Absolutely nailed it. It’s got that rustic barn charm, but somehow manages to feel like the coolest, most inviting space you’ve ever stepped into. Think fairy lights, wood beams, and an atmosphere that practically begs for laughter, dancing, and one too many toasts. We turned the whole thing into a wedding weekend by renting the adjoining Airbnb, which was a game-changer. Having 12 of our nearest and dearest stay on-site transformed it into a nonstop celebration. The night before the wedding, we had a DIY pizza night, complete with way too many toppings and a heated debate about pineapple on pizza. By the time the big day rolled around, it felt like everyone had already bonded over late-night snacks and board games in the living room. The day itself was pure magic. We held the ceremony outside under a canopy of trees, where nature did most of the decorating for us. During cocktail hour, guests lounged on mismatched vintage furniture we’d rented (highly recommend!) while a friend played acoustic covers of 90s hits. The barn transformed beautifully for dinner and dancing, and there was even space for a little surprise—an impromptu late-night waffle bar that we set up after the formalities were done. Yes, waffles. It was a hit. The venue team? Incredible. They were super responsive, proactive in giving us tips, and genuinely seemed excited about helping us pull off our slightly offbeat wedding vision. They even recommended a florist who totally got our vibe (wildflowers and ferns everywhere). If you’re dreaming of a wedding that’s more about joy and personality than stiff formality, this is the place. It gave us the freedom to create something truly special—where every little detail felt personal, and everyone left with a big grin and a full heart (and maybe a slight waffle-induced food coma). We’ll be talking about this weekend for years to come.

Living in Las Vegas, I got plenty of puzzled looks when I told friends and family we were getting married in Michigan. Neither my fiancé nor I have any ties there—but the moment I discovered Planterra Conservatory, I knew it had to be our venue. Choosing it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. You might think planning a wedding across the country would be stressful, but not with Planterra and their incredible team. Everything was seamless from start to finish. They were there every step of the way, ensuring every single detail was perfect. From the unforgettable menu tasting event, to their unbelievably talented floral design team, to their professional staff—every aspect exceeded our expectations. Throughout the night, guests couldn’t stop talking about how stunning the venue was, how flawless everything felt, and how this was the best wedding they’d ever attended. If you want to guarantee your dream wedding, stop searching and book with Planterra. They’ll make your vision come to life and then some.

Built-in 1848, the wedding barn was originally a working farm, used as a hay and milking barn on the Briggs family 500-acre farm. Once the family moved on, however, the property slowly fell into disrepair, including the barn. Luckily, right away Joel had an amazing vision for what could be the ideal spot, he saw the potential like no other for a unique Irish Hills Wedding location and was happy to buy the property in 2017. Since then, many hours and much effort have gone into creating the perfect space for weddings. As one of Michigan’s Premier Wedding Venues, this venue is a great choice!

From the moment we first reached out, the staff were fast, informative, and sincere in their communication - they were truly eager to help make our day special. The venue itself is amazing, with a beautiful rustic and unique barn setting that helped make our wedding day so very special. The staff were around all day, pleasant and upbeat, and went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly with no hiccups. The DJ and officiant they suggested were also incredible, and all of the vendors they recommended turned out great. We couldn't have asked for anything more, and are so grateful to the Irish Hills Wedding Barn team for helping to make our wedding day absolutely perfect.

Lifepoint Chapel was the perfect venue to hold our ceremony. From the very beginning, we had a wonderful feeling. Our tour of the chapel was beautiful. The large windows on either side create an enchanting ambiance during your “I do’s” and showcase the couple, as well as the bridal party. The pricing is very affordable compared to other vendors in the area, and this place is great if you’re looking to just have your ceremony there, or they do have a reception space as well as suites and bathrooms. The bridal and grooms suites were the perfect size, have decor and furniture that look great in pictures, and help you feel comfortable during your big day. The communication from the venue coordinator as well as the day of coordinator, officiant and sound technician were nothing short of amazing. Wonderful, kind people who are not only there for their job but actually care about the people, and help you along the way with any and all questions you may have. They make sure down to the details that your day is absolutely perfect, and ours was! Chrissy was great in communicating via email all of the details of our booking, and helped with questions. Jim, our day of coordinator, understood when we had car troubles the night of the rehearsal, and waited to start until we got there, but entertained our bridal party and family. He helped make a stressful night a relaxing one, and not worrying about the wedding day. Our officiant, Dale, made sure that our vows were pristine, and said and did exactly what we wanted. The sound tech was given super detailed instructions with our first kiss as a couple, and he nailed it!! All of the songs that were played were played perfectly. Overall, every person we talked to or met in this process was nothing short of kind, professional, friendly, personal, and very supportive. We couldn’t recommend a better venue that is just full of good people, views, aesthetics, and affordability.

This was the perfect venue for us. Do you want an old-world feel and classic feeling for your wedding? This is perfect. Do you want all the amenities, modern accommodations for your wedding? This isn’t it. We wanted to feel like we were in another world for our wedding. This served as the perfect place. My husband and I stayed in the Ivy suite and his groomsmen in the Essex. This was perfect as he went to the Essex room to get ready with the groomsmen and the Ivy was perfect for the bridal party as there were multiple rooms for hair and makeup to set up. Most of the wedding party and family rented out the rooms - so we got to see those, and all were unique and beautiful in their own ways. I recommend reserving the room Bath for a bridesmaid or whomever will be steaming dresses. The pergola and Medovue Hall both were beautiful for the ceremony and reception respectively. We didn’t do a lot of decorations because I felt the beauty of the hall spoke for itself. We had the Duck for dinner - and it was perfect. Everyone raved about it. The bartenders and waitstaff were so nice and personable. Adriana was great to organize and work with. All in all, we loved our venue and highly recommend it.

We began our journey in 2015 with a dusty gravel pit and vision for a new home. The gem was the stunning 30 acre crystal clear lake.

In 2020 one of our daughters got engaged. As she began looking for a venue to host her wedding we came to realize that the perfect spot was right in front of us. We wanted it to be a very special place and we went to work to create a beautiful wedding venue. There are many opportunities on the property for one of a kind pictures. There are two picturesque options in front of the lake for the service and a new reception building that can seat up to 200 guests. With a 5 acre campus larger weddings can be accommodated with tent rental.

The Clark's Lakeside was an amazing venue for our wedding. They responded in a timely manner through text and set up phone calls to go over what we needed for the venue and if we had any additional questions. Their space is absolutely gorgeous and was the highlight of why we chose this place. The inside didn't need much decoration, which was a plus!! They set up the chairs we needed the day before and checked in during the reception to see how everything was going. The owners were terrific to work with, and we couldn't have asked for a better day at the venue. We will never forget our special day at The Clark's Lakeside and would highly recommend it to friends or family!

The Farm was the perfect venue for our intimate, elegant summer wedding. From the moment we first reached out, the team was straightforward, insightful, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process. Their attention to detail and designer touch elevated our wedding to feel truly unique and special. When our photographer had to cancel last minute, they seamlessly arranged for a replacement to capture all the beautiful moments. We loved how they transformed the elegant pool room and tented backyard to create an enchanting, outdoor-inspired atmosphere. Having the entire property to ourselves for the weekend was so convenient - 18 of us stayed in the main house, while other guests booked rooms at the owners' other properties nearby. The Farm truly made our wedding day worry-free and unforgettable.

The Roostertail was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the beginning, their communication was timely, flexible, and personable - Nicole, Colleen, and Shawna were all a pleasure to work with. The preparation leading up to our big day was so helpful, ensuring everything went smoothly. On the day of, they checked in multiple times to make sure all was well and address any questions or concerns.
