My husband and I got married at Meyer's Castle in early November, 2025. It was the most beautiful day ever, no matter that it was cold and rainy! We first fell in love with the venue when we toured in August 2024, and then after seeing a few other venues we went back to Meyer's for another tour and booked it. Everyone was so excited about the venue and still talks about it. Our coordinator Eva was a rock star on the day of the wedding! She was so helpful in reassuring me and getting me answers leading up to the wedding, but nothing can surpass how amazing she was on the day off. She took care of everything! She managed problems without me having to even hear them, she advocated for us, she helped decorate, and made us feel seen and taken care of. It began to rain shortly before the ceremony time and she made sure we got the idyllic outdoor ceremony of our dreams, and had umbrellas on hand as needed. She was there for the entire day and my sister couldn't stop singing her praises! We loved our wedding so much and highly recommend Meyer's Castle and Eva! Our photographer said the venue was a photographers dream, we got compliments on the food, and everyone had a great time! A day I would happily revisit anytime.

My husband and I got married at North Lake October 4th, 2025 and had the most beautiful backdrop to the day. North Lake was incredible to work with and were so accommodating. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how wonderful the venue was. Dan really has put so much thought behind every detail from not having any curbs or steps making it incredibly handicap accessible to constantly making upgrades that only add to the experience. My husband and I are both huge baseball fans and we got married on a Cubs Brewers postseason game that started at 2pm. The tv in the groom's room was not working and Dan brought a tv from his own home and had it set up in time for the game. Any questions I had were promptly responded to by Danelle and she was so sweet and personable. If you're looking for a venue where you have the control of which vendors to work with while not missing out on the location and luxuries of an inclusive venue I'd highly recommend North Lake.

Fernwood really is a hidden gem. The grounds are beautiful and their rates very affordable! They were very responsive to my many questions, and very helpful on the day of our wedding. They even let us use an extra classroom for the groomsmen to get ready in. They were also really flexible. You can’t really go wrong here, and the garden itself can be your decor! We also left one item behind by accident which we were able to pick up a few days later. Lots of “areas” to choose from for your day, too. Only complaint was the poison Ivy growing along some of the pathways, which were already fairly narrow. We just used alternate paths and it was no big deal!

From its historical beginnings as a stoic munitions depot, The Armory experienced a beautiful transformation to showcase a sophisticated ballroom, classy built-in bar and impressive commercial kitchen. Original element of the 1928 Armory construction and subsequent Newman Recreations Center were incorporated into the even space renovation to provide the perfect blend of past and present.Iron-barred doors used to secure armers and thick concrete walls reinforced with brick to accommodate the National Guard Armory and shooting range lend a rustic industrial aesthetic. Wood from the recreation center bleachers line the dramatic bar and the orginial hardwood floor was dressed up to grace the ballroom. The vaulted timber ceilings and exposed truss work allow the dazzling period chandeliers an opportunity to lend an air of elegance to the urban decor. Charm abounds in the union of classic architecture with a modern flair.

We had Xavier and Kaley for our wedding at Journeyman in November, and they were absolutely incredible to work with. From start to finish, they made the entire experience feel effortless. Their communication was clear, their energy was warm and positive, and they truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Everyone loved the food—it was delicious and beautifully presented! The servers were so nice too!! At one point, we realized we needed to add an extra table, and Xavier and Kaley were so accommodating. They made it completely seamless and just made it happen, which took such a weight off our shoulders. You can tell they genuinely care about the couples they work with. They anticipated needs before we even said them out loud, kept everything organized behind the scenes, and made us feel supported and relaxed the entire day. Our guests even commented on how kind and professional they were. Xavier and Kaley played such a big part in making our day unforgettable, and we couldn’t be more grateful. If you’re getting married at Journeyman, ask for them—you will be in the absolute best hands. 3

With the original wood floors and over 800 tin ceiling tiles still intact and beautifully restored, this space embodies a rustic opulence that offers couples the feel of a big city event in a quaint village.

My fiancé and I discovered the hidden gem of 19 North by Froehlich's while initially visiting for a delightful breakfast at Froehlich's restaurant. We were thrilled to learn it doubles as a stunning wedding venue! From the grandeur of the 8-foot chandelier and star-like pendant lights to the vintage charm of the ornate tin ceiling tiles, this venue marries historical preservation with modern elegance. The impressive wooden doors promise an unforgettable ceremony entrance, complemented by antique lounge sets and a private entrance through a picturesque glass atrium, perfect for a cocktail hour. The photos I'm including are frames from a video I took during the tour and they simply do not do this beautiful space justice! As a Chicago couple seeking a beautiful wedding without the metropolitan price tag, we were thrilled by 19 North's proximity to Chicago and charming towns like Three Oaks, New Buffalo, and Michigan City. The all-inclusive experience, from the beautiful furnishings to the option of building a custom menu, means fewer details to manage and more time to enjoy the journey to our special day. There are also tons of walkable Airbnbs which will be great for us and our out-of-town guests. The array of options and pricing transparency for catering and staffing have been impressive, reflecting the venue's commitment to ease and excellence. Drew, our point of contact, embodies professionalism and attentiveness, answering every query quickly with patience and insight.

We are a Brand new start up Venue in Hastings MI. I have been in the wedding industry for 15 years and have learned that there are very few places out there that are willing to put the time and effort into each event.

We have an amazing outdoor garden ceremony site that will transport you to a place of peace and serenity. I am adding more vendors in-house to provide quality and cost effective options for anyone interested in having one contact person for the entire experience.

We used Venue 1230 to host our wedding reception and we were so happy with how everything went. We would 10 out of 10 recommend this venue to all of our family and friends. Yon and his staff went above and beyond to accommodate our every need. The size of the venue itself was one thing that helped seal the deal for us. We had kids and there was more than enough space for them to play while the adults continued to mingle and enjoy themselves. We also highly appreciated how beautifully decorated the whole venue was. We barely had to bring anything in besides our basic table decorations. We had so many guests commenting on how tastefully everything was done. Another thing that I really appreciated was how much Yon and his team cared. They were always asking where they could help or how they could better serve us. At the end of the day, they did everything in their power to make sure that we had a perfect day that we would remember forever.
