My husband and I got married here in 2022 and it was perfection! From planning to wedding day everything was so easy and stress free. The ceremony site is to die for and the reception space was large and spacious for all our family and friends. My girls and I loved getting ready in the Lodge and the whole party loved that they could stay right on site and spend the whole weekend there. I cannot recommend Olde Mill Venue enough!

The Little Flower Barn

Lake Isabella, MI
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $3,900

The Red Barn, built in 1910 by Mike’s great-grandparents Ernest and Helen Faling, was inherited by Mike in the 1980s. He transformed it into a home where he raised his three daughters. On August 6, 2016, Mike’s oldest daughter held her wedding on the property, inspiring the creation of a wedding and lodging venue. Named "Little Flower Barn" (from "Fiorillo," meaning "Little Flower"), the venue honors the family heritage. In early 2019, Mike and his partner Sarah remodeled the Red Barn to accommodate 17 guests, constructed a reception barn for 300 guests, and added a pond-side amphitheater garden. Little Flower Barn offers a beautiful, functional backdrop for events.

From our first conversation with The Little Flower Barn, we knew we had found the right venue for our wedding. The team was responsive, warm, and genuinely excited to help us plan our special day without being pushy or overbearing. They trusted us to coordinate our own event and gave us the space we needed to make it exactly what we wanted. The barn itself is stunning—clean, well-organized, and created such a comforting atmosphere for our guests. They even went out of their way to ensure our flowers were delivered exactly where they needed to be. We truly could not have asked for better people to host us, and we're so grateful for their generosity and kindness throughout the entire process.

We held an intimate, outdoor wedding early in April at the Orchard Pond, and it could not have been more perfect. The staff was so amazing in taking care of so many details and helping us plan, and even managed to keep chairs dry for guests outdoors on a rainy Michigan day. They even worked with us a bit on the time to wait for the rain to clear and were so flexible! I also cannot say enough about how beautiful the setting is. I have attended larger weddings in the orchard on the hill, but beside the pond on the dock, with the lovely pine grove, the soft sounds of wind and the wildlife, and the rippling waves across the pond was truly the perfect spot for our intimate affair. The setting is beautiful and allowed our photographer to get many great photos from lots of different angles. The amazing staff also helped us plan our dream wedding in under a month and helped us stay on budget while still having a beautiful, unforgettable day. I truly cannot say enough about the Orchard. It truly is the perfect outdoor wedding venue!
