It was also a huge win that we were able to get the airbnb next door, it made it easy to run back and forth if we forgot something while getting ready. The ladies and I utilized the bridal suite which is a must! We also used the outdoor ceremony space, which was breath taking. Our guests talked all night how much the loved the space and how friendly everyone was. We truly had the party of the year and a lifetime of memories because of this place.

Not only is the venue unlike anything I have seen before but the staff from Day 1 have been so approachable and amazing to deal with. Rather than telling us rules and limitations and "cookie cutter" packages like most venues, the staff at Etre Farms got to know my fiancée & myself as a couple and our personalities before anything else. Their attention to detail is refreshing and gives us confidence in our wedding running flawless in May of 2022.

I’m a photographer + graphic designer based in Michigan. I have a slight coffee addiction and you’ll most likely find me sitting in a coffee shop editing away while drinking an iced vanilla latte with oat milk and a scone. I love talking about the Enneagram and will do so for hours if you let me. I binge New girl repeatedly, I love to rock climb, and I look for any excuse to spend time with people. I value hard work and I'm always looking to perfect my craft. Striving to grow and make myself the best version of myself that I can be. Working with people is really special to me and I’m so fortunate to be in a position that allows me to do that.

Cammi and her photos are unmatched. They are simply breathtaking, while at the same time she makes it easy and almost natural to be in front of the camera. Cammi is a radiant person, and it's clear she loves what she does. She has been a resource on all things wedding, and I am so thankful to have worked with her throughout this process!

The dream was born, and a year later, we were in business. That was 10 years ago. It has been an awesome ride!

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.

We hadn’t originally intended on hiring a coordinator for our wedding, but as the date got closer and closer I quickly realized how overwhelmed I felt trying to put together the finishing touches and finalize all the details. When I talked with Raven and she explained her services to me, she immediately made me feel less stressed knowing that she would be there to keep everything running smoothly and that she would help finalize all the details that I was struggling with. Our priority on our wedding day was to be as fully present and focused on enjoying the day and celebrating with our guests, and Raven truly made all of that possible. She took care of everything we needed and kept things moving smoothly despite any bumps in the road. It was another relief to have her take over vendor communication as the wedding got closer. I also really appreciated how she was willing to discuss and negotiate her services to help keep us in budget. I can honestly say that hiring Raven was one of the best decisions we made throughout the whole planning process and we are beyond grateful that we were able to sit back and enjoy our wedding day without worry. Thank you Raven!

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.

Solasta was a surprise to me in that it simply wasn’t on my radar, but I’m glad I stopped by when I saw it just off the road. The mulled wine I tried tasted great and wasn’t cloyingly sweet. The staff seemed very friendly and helpful, and the interior was warm and inviting. The wine menu was surprisingly large, and the mulled wine actually used multiple wines to get the profile they were after. It’s definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area and like wine.

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!

We had originally planned to have a wedding in Chicago, but when COVID hit we decided to have our wedding near my grandparents on Gull Lake. We were incredibly lucky we could have our ceremony here. It was perfect and Nicole was great to work with. Everything went super smoothly. Also my wife’s family stayed in one of the cottages nearby, which was great. We had our rehearsal dinner outside the house and had our pictures taken on the grounds. Oh and we got picked up by boat after the ceremony, which we couldn’t have done anywhere else.

Bri Artistry was incredible to work with for my wedding day! They were so easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. Isabel from Bri Artistry got me ready for my big day and was so professional and sweet. She had such an amazing attention to detail and made me feel absolutely beautiful. I have never felt more gorgeous than I did on my wedding day, and my makeup lasted all night long - it looked just as good at the end of the night as it did at the beginning!

We're Jenna & Joey, a Husband and Wife team based in Michigan. We got married in May of 2020 (yes, in the middle of the pandemic). You'll often either find us at a coffee shop, the nearest burger joint or curled up in bed binge-watching New Girl while eating allllll the snacks. Oh, and we can't forget that we're dog parents to our favorite girl, Nala who is always trying to snuggle close.

Jenna was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding. We booked an engagement session and 8hr coverage from her for our wedding day with a second shooter. She ended up being sick the day of the wedding and texted us already with a plan in motion for another shooter to come in her place. When they got there they knew absolutely every single detail I ever spoke about with Jenna. It couldn’t have been more like if Jenna was there herself. She even got us around 25 photos as a sneak peek the very next day! We have talked so much since the wedding that we have absolutely zero bad things to say about the photographers and how easy they made the entire day go. Absolutely loved Jenna and her whole team and have already discussed booking with her for any future photography we might need!!
