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.

We are so grateful to Bay Pointe (especially Ashley, Juno, and Lauren) for helping us host a spectacular event. We had our event at the Bay Pointe Pavilion and it was so lovely. We had a gorgeous evening and the weather was perfect. The grounds were beautiful with early June flowers blooming. Bay Pointe also had added more ceremony space flowers which really made it look even better. The food was great and everyone loved our drink menu. Overall, Bay Pointe made everything so easy that day because of how comprehensive the services they offer are. Everyone commented to us that we had the most peaceful, stress-free wedding they had been to in a long time. Even for myself as the bride/wedding planner, I felt like everything was handled and I could actually relax and enjoy the day.

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.

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 :)

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!

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.

The venue is family ran by having family doing different parts. The coordinator Lauren was the calmest ever and helped calm my nerves and handled all the issues without me even knowing. She and her team were amazing! Lauren helped give me the wedding of my dreams. This venue was perfect and the beautiful bridal suite is so spacious and beautiful! Also there’s an airbnb on property that me, my girls, and my mom stayed the night before (it can sleep 15 people). I could go on about my love for the venue and the caring people I’ve met that maintain the character and charm. If you want barn but also elegant…this is the venue for you!

There is only one word to describe our experience with Ivy House and our coordinator: PERFECT. The venue is outstandingly beautiful and the staff are welcoming and were just as excited about our wedding as we were. Our coordinator, Heather, went above and beyond for us. She was extremely dedicated to making this our best day ever. We bonded with her instantly and our planning was a walk in the park because of her. She just made everything SO MUCH FUN. You would think on the day of your wedding, you would feel a little stress wondering if everything was going to go right, but with Heather there wasn't a doubt in our mind or even a little stress because we knew our day was in the best hands and everything was going to be perfect! She made our day completely stress free and took care of everything for us the day of from timeline, to making sure we had our drinks, getting our wedding party together, and simply just letting us enjoy the day as newlyweds. I wish we could get married here over and over and over again! Just insanely beautiful with an incredible staff. I hope we get to attend so many more weddings here to relive the best day ever! - Cassidy & Taylor Messer 10.03.25

Listen, I'd love to grumble about the cost of the venue itself. But in all honesty, Boatwerks (and Hannah, the event manager) was 100% up front about costs. From the moment we first toured the space, the event manager Hannah was prompt in her communication and transparent about all costs. Hannah even shared a mock up quote the day we initially toured the venue - and it was spot on for the actual event. The truth? The venue was absolutely, without a doubt, 100% worth every cent we paid. We had the patio open all night, there was plenty of food, minimal waits at the bar - all things our guests are still raving about. The venue itself was beautiful, with a lovely waterfront view that provided a picturesque backdrop for our reception. And the food was delicious - our guests raved about the quality and presentation. While the venue cost was a bit higher than other Red Water event venues, it was absolutely worth it for the exceptional service and stunning location. Hannah and the Boatwerks team went above and beyond to ensure our special day was perfect in every way. We're so grateful we chose Boatwerks and would highly recommend them to any couple seeking a beautiful space to celebrate one of the best days of their lives.
