I'm a wedding photographer in the Mid Michigan area. I had the pleasure of working a wedding here early this season and enjoyed the experience! They were so accommodating to the couple who had to move their ceremony inside due to weather. And it went beautifully! I loved the look and how spacious the getting ready room was. And the newest remodels look absolutely stunning! I hope to be invited back for another wedding soon!

I cannot even express how lucky we were to call Timberlee Hills our wedding venue. Jessie and her team ran a flawless operation, and she made the whole planning process as stress-free as possible. Communication was speedy and very polite, and Jessie was happy to answer all my hundreds of questions (thanks girl, I appreciate you 3). The venue is truly a dream. The ceremony overlooking a valley of trees feels like something out of a fairytale, and the interior is so beautifully designed. While we didn't need to use it ourselves, I was also impressed that the covered ceremony option in the event of rain was just out on their covered patio, which would have still provided a beautiful outlook of the trees if we needed to have it there. The day of our wedding was blissfully stress free, thanks to the hard work of Madison and Jessie. Madison did an excellent job helping us get everything arranged and decorated, the timing for our ceremony was perfect, and our guests were very well taken care of. We received several compliments on both the venue and the friendly staff. The bar team also did an amazing job! Both myself and my husband were topped off on any drinks we wanted without even having to leave our sweetheart table. I could ramble on for much longer about how wonderful this place is, but I will wrap it up here and just say that if you're thinking of having your wedding here, do it. It's beautiful, everyone went above and beyond, and we'll remember it fondly for the rest of our lives.

Our wedding day was so special, and the team at Greystone Weddings made sure we didn’t have to lift a finger. We chose a date and what we wanted, and they made it happen! Robert, the owner, made planning and decision making simple. He had great suggestions and really took the weight off of our shoulders when it came to what the day would/should look like. He also helped us plan a fabulous honeymoon! The venue is already beautiful and didn’t need any decorating. I didn’t buy any decorations for the venue, all decorations were provided by Greystone. The DJ, Tony, is incredibly talented and accommodated all of our requests. He had great song choices and really kept the party going! The food was excellent, some of the best entrees I’ve had. It felt like a 5 star restaurant. The servers plated our food and carried it to the table for us! Emily made sure to let us know she would heat up some food for our 5 year old if she got hungry later on. We really appreciated that! Last but not least, the owner and wedding coordinator Jo was so kind and accommodating. If there was something we needed or requested (within reason) she made it happen. She made sure the ceremony and the evening ran smoothly, and she was there to take care of us and our guests. Jo also helped us run through the ceremony at rehearsal dinner. We can’t thank Robert and Jo enough for their incredible hospitality, genuine courtesy and support. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that’s visually stunning and will quite literally make your dreams come true, look no further. Greystone made OUR dreams come true! - Hannah & Ignacio Villarreal

This timeless space lends itself to countless styles, from vintage, to modern, and everything in between. With all original hardwood floors and brick walls, the Venue leaves nothing to be desired. Each brick was hand-kilned, creating a matchless color variation in the walls. The grand staircase provides an unforgettable entrance for a newly wedded couple, and the glass chandeliers delicately illuminate any event. The Venue at 501 is the perfect location for those looking to host a one-of-a-kind wedding!

The Foxglove Farm 

5.0

Suttons Bay, MI
  • Up to 160 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $10,000

The Foxglove Farm aims to marry the beauty of the Leelanau Peninsula's natural elements with simplistic and modern design. Within the 130 year old barn are clean lines, consistent outlines of contrast and a color palette reflective of the wide open view from the cherry orchard. We believe that no two events should look the same at The Foxglove Farm. By offering a forest alcove, orchard inset, restored barn, wildflower field & lakeview outlook, the options are endless. Whether you're looking for a dark, moody farm-to-table gathering in the woods or an intimate ceremony enveloped by cherry blossoms, the 140 acres are yours to set the scene. Please reach out through our website if you don't hear back from us here on Zola!

Why you'll love this venue

  • Dressing room available
  • Natural elegance with open spaces
  • Both indoor and outdoor options

Venue considerations

  • No on-premises lodging options
  • Couple must handle cleanup and setup
  • No in-house catering options
The Foxglove Farm is by far one of the most special venues in Northern Michigan, if not all of Michigan. The Barnes family took such care and gave deep consideration to the property's history and how it could best serve their clients & community when restoring the barn and planning out the space. You feel the family's warmth and thoughtfulness around every corner--whether you're a client or a vendor. From a design perspective, one of the things that I love about Foxglove is that the space really speaks for itself; not much is needed, yet so much can be done to enhance the natural beauty and make the event "yours." If I could only ever work at Foxglove, I gladly would... heck, if I could live at Foxglove I'd move in tomorrow!

Dow Diamond was the perfect venue. The entire staff was so kind and our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the uniqueness and impressiveness of the venue. It was so convenient that they do in-house catering. The food was delicious! Dave made sure everything ran smoothly and nothing went wrong. We couldn’t have asked for a better place for our wedding.

The team at Great Hall Banquet & Convention Center was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Their communication was quick, professional, and kind, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. The venue itself is classy, affordable, and absolutely beautiful - the perfect setting for our wedding reception. The staff was wonderful in assisting with every question from our family, the bride, and our guests. I can't say enough good things about the venue and staff here. My wedding reception was absolutely amazing, and they were consistent in their great quality. I will absolutely be using their venue in the future for other life events.

Long but honest review! - Overall, we had a good experience with the Peninsula Room and the actual wedding was amazing. However there were some portions of the planning process that left a bad taste in our mouth. - There was no mention at our visit that the contract was going to change. We were told everything would be online so we went by their information. When the contract was changed and the price was increased 5,000, the original price was eventually honored after some back and forth emailing. - My credit card was charged after I specifically checked don’t on the contract. It was refunded but that was a costly mistake. - Even after saying they were in the process of changing their contract online (email of 9/25/24), the contract posted online was still not changed on their website as of 10/16/24. It has since been changed but the discrepancy left us uneasy, especially when we were repeatedly told information was all found online. - Food minimum price was changed when checked on 2/16/25. Now 15,000 (not including venue price) - At the in person tasting, we had good interactions with higher management. However, previous to that Barb was rude with our wedding coordinator on the phone and we also felt that we were a bother when trying to get information or answers for our questions. However once we started working with Madi, the event manager, we had a more pleasant experience. - The actual wedding day was beautiful and went so smooth! The staff working the event were amazing, very accommodating, helpful, and made for a wonderful day! - The food was delicious and we appreciated how they made a separate plate of appetizers for the bride and groom. - The server Andrew was amazing! He was at our tasting and the wedding. He made sure we had everything we wanted/needed. The Peninsula Room is a beautiful venue with delicious food overall; this just was just an honest explanation of our experience.
