I was shocked the first time I visited and met with Angelique and Richard. We had a really great time with them, felt comfortable and well informed. They were very transparent and we didn’t feel like they were just trying to get the sale like every other place we toured. Not to mention the prices for what you get is worth every penny. The place is clean, well kept and everything we wanted . And being a photographer, this place has the perfect lighting. Excited to work with them for our event very soon!

We recently got married at SHC and Patti was super knowledgeable and knows her stuff. When we visited the venue, I felt comfortable trusting her and her team and loved the venue space/vibe. The outside is beautiful modern white/black and greenery/forest feel along with a patio space and fireplace while the inside is also modern, elegant, and has a great cozy walk in seating space and bar as well. Despite rain on our wedding day and having to move the ceremony inside, everything was still beautifully done and the weather cleared for us for pictures outside after the ceremony! The beach is also super close to run over and shoot some pics there too. Loved the bridal suite space hidden and tucked away for me and my bridesmaids as well. The food, drinks, venue, and service/staff were all a great experience for both us and our guests.

My husband and I were married here on 7.13.2024. It was heavenly!!! When we toured other venues in the southwest Michigan region no place felt quite right. We happened to hear about Inisfree in passing and decided to drive over. Peggy and Bruce (the owners) couldn't have been kinder and more welcoming and they remained that way the entire process and continue to be! They have so much passion for Inisfree and it shows. The ground are beautiful and immaculate and they truly love to engage with people. We also rented all ten rooms out at the bed and breakfast for our wedding weekend and got special and intimate time with our friends- from pool time, garden/patio hangs, and delicious home made breakfasts (quiche, zucchini bread, blueberry muffins just to name some of my favorites). Our friends/wedding party who stayed onsite continue to rave about their stay and the guests of our wedding party couldn't get over how beautiful the property is. Everyone loved silent disco!!! Do you self a favor and book a tour. The place speaks for itself. We can't wait to return for our anniversary :)
