The venue itself is stunning with beautiful, timeless classic greenery throughout that made everything feel elegant without being over the top. The team went above and beyond to help us pull off the day we dreamed about, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely recommend The Wright Place to any couple looking for an amazing venue.

  • Photographer

  • Serves Shepherd, MI

I believe love and light are two of the closest things we have to real magic. We're so fortunate that photography utilizes both. Art, storytelling, and connection have stood the test of time throughout human history. We were designed to create, entertain, and love. I approach each wedding day like it's the most important love story that will ever be told. Because to you, it is. I approach most of the day with a photojournalistic approach. Then during portraits I'm skilled at both posing you beautifully enough to be an editorial piece and prompting you in ways to bring out cinematic romance.

Awarded Best of Zola
I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Lynzee. From the very beginning, during both our engagement session and wedding, she made me feel so comfortable, like we had been friends for years. She is such a warm, welcoming presence, which made the entire experience feel natural and stress-free. She immediately understood my vibe and vision and brought it to life perfectly. On our wedding day, she worked seamlessly with all of my other vendors and was incredibly helpful in creating and managing our timeline. Even when we got way off schedule, she handled everything with total ease and professionalism. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and I always felt confident knowing I was in good hands. These are photos I will cherish forever, and she was truly worth every penny. If you’re considering booking her… do it. You will not regret it!

Where do we even begin- We hired the Opal Affair for wedding Day of Coordination and it was by far the best choice (and money) for our wedding day- Kirsten and Katy made it the absolute best day of our lives!! In the year of planning whenever I had a timeline questions, Kirsten was so quick and helpful in responding and then in the month and week prior to wedding day, she stepped in and took over vendor comms and made sure all the little details that made the day unique and personalized were covered. We had Katy onsite with us and from rehearsal to day of, she helped keep things running smoothly, made sure the bar didn’t run dry and stepped in when health emergencies demanded action and took charge. We so appreciate the Opal Affair going above and beyond for us and our guests- They gave my husband & I such peace of mind that all the details were covered and we couldn’t have done it without you!

Rusch Entertainment offers hundreds of different performing acts, all of which come backed with years of experience and positive reviews. Since our doors opened in 1971, Rusch Entertainment has been the most awarded entertainment company around, but our greatest reward is in providing you with the best possible act for your event!

We had the absolute best experience with DJ Dan from Rusch Entertainment! From start to finish, he was professional, timely, respectful, and incredibly reassuring during the planning process. He took the time to get to know our music preferences and created a perfect playlist based on our favorite artists and songs — and still kept the dance floor open to requests! The music on our wedding day was perfect. DJ Dan read the room effortlessly and kept the energy high all night long. He even helped me (the bride) pull off a surprise dance with my mom, which was one of my favorite moments of the day — she had no idea it was coming and it went off without a hitch thanks to his help. We also really appreciated that he played clean versions of songs, so everyone from kids to grandparents could enjoy the night. He was with us from the ceremony through the end of the reception (about 7.5–8 hours) and never missed a beat. If you’re considering Rusch Entertainment, we highly recommend DJ Dan — amazing values, outstanding service, and truly unforgettable memories!

From the moment he got here till the moment he left. He brought the party vibes. He hands down was the best DJ I worked with. He was laid back, played to the crowd and treated each person with respect. At the end of the night he not only packed up his equipment, but he stayed later to help pick up the reception hall.

Hi, I’m Taylor Zinn! I’m a wedding and portrait photographer based in Harrison, Michigan, a cozy little town right in the heart of the mitten. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m soaking up the chaos and joy of life with my husband of 12 years and our two kiddos (ages 4 and 10). I live for salty ocean air, hot tea, and the dream of one day finishing my very ambitious book collection. Around here, The Office reruns are a staple (as soon as Bluey wraps up, of course). Let’s make some magic together.

Awarded Best of Zola
Taylor absolutely crushed it on our wedding day! From start to finish, she went above and beyond what we could have ever hoped for in a photographer. Not only did she capture every single detail beautifully, but she also helped keep the day running smoothly — almost like a mini-wedding planner for Meghan and me. Her calm presence and organization made such a difference in helping us actually enjoy the day. Taylor’s aesthetic is stunning — a true-color, elegant style that perfectly reflects the natural beauty of the moment. We’ve received countless compliments on our photos from friends and family, and even several guests commented during the wedding about how great she was to work with. She made everyone feel comfortable and managed to capture so many genuine moments without ever feeling intrusive. We were also so impressed with how quickly she delivered our preview gallery — it was such a joy to relive the day so soon after! Taylor also did our engagement photos, which she absolutely killed, and it made us even more confident that our wedding photos would be incredible (and they were!). I can’t recommend Taylor enough — she’s talented, professional, kind, and genuinely passionate about what she does. If you’re looking for someone to capture your day perfectly, Taylor M Zinn Photography is the one.

My wedding photos were one of the most important things to me on my wedding day, as it is most brides, because they capture the memories made that’ll last a lifetime. Working with Ryan eliminated absolutely any stress I had of getting the perfect photos. Starting with the planning process he helped guide our “day of wedding” schedule and added input to ensure we got every photo we wanted. During our wedding day he made everyone feel VERY MUCH at ease. Our bridal party was laughing, joking, smiling, having an amazing time and nobody felt they were put into awkward poses and that was evident when we received our photos back. The natural feel of every photo is priceless! Ryan went above and beyond and I could not be happier with choosing him to photograph our wedding! 20/10 recommend.

Featured on Anti Bride, Today show and Modern Luxury Magazine. The couple who appreciates the classic elements of a wedding, while still wanting to do something unexpected. The couple who values both the ease of the digital camera, and the iconic and everlasting impact of the film camera.

Mary was absolutely marvelous, start to finish. After I reached out she got back to me in less than 24 hours, and was so easy to communicate with in the months leading up to our wedding. We had a mixed wedding with traditional elements and a modern day twist. Mary went out of her way to learn about our culture so that she'd be able to capture all of the special moments. The day of the wedding she was our biggest cheerleader, made us feel so comfortable, and herded people in the right direction. Mary is so passionate about what she does, and her love for story telling bleeds over into everything she does. We're looking forward to receiving our pictures back soon, but from the sneak peak we got, her work is just magical. Highly recommend reaching out to Mary for your special day!

When the owners began planning their own rustic wedding, they discovered how difficult it could be to find an affordable, charming barn venue that truly captured that rustic Michigan feel. Their search inspired the transformation of their family barn into The Milestone Barn, a space designed to bring that same dream to life for other couples, without the high price tag. Since opening our doors in 2011, we’ve continued to grow and improve every year. We listen to feedback from our brides and grooms, updating the property and adding new features while preserving the authentic rustic charm that makes The Milestone Barn so special.

We got married in August 2018 at The Milestone Barn and it was the wedding of our dreams! The barn and grounds are stunning. I loved everything about my wedding. Carolyn was amazing to work with and always there to answer my questions. People loved the venue so much that we talked about doing it again (minus the wedding part). You won’t regret getting married there. If you are looking for food, hotel, or someone to marry you they have recommendations!! I wouldn’t have changed a thing.

ATTENTION! Due to an exciting change of circumstances, we are putting the business on hold. Lots of great things are happening behind closed doors. We hope to be back soon. May your memories be timeless! <3

Timeless Impressions is your one stop shop for your event planning and decoration needs. They were able to give us the best of both worlds. With the efficient/detail oriented style of a corporate event planner, but with the personal touch that met our specific needs. Our event was truly made unique and memorable because of Timeless Impressions, highly recommended!

We are committed to helping people find their voice and tell their unique stories through photography! Every story is unique and it is our goal to get to know you so that we can document your story authentically. If you're looking for super posed photos of your day, that's okay but Im probably not the best fit! But if youre a fun-loving couple that oozes chemistry and can't keep your eyes (or hands) off of each other, and you want that captured genuinely, I'm your girl!

What can I say other than they are ‘outstanding’ having you both capture moments that we will look back on and treasure forever, is SO incredibly special. The dream team duo! I could not be happier with the end result and we would happily recommend them to anyone. I cannot recommend them more to be at the top of your guest list. Not only were the quality of the photos perfect, the communication was the BEST. They really helped move our timeline along and stayed on top of everything and really captured the day the way I saw it. I have never been so happy to have them on our team, thank you so much!

Hello! I am Hollie, owner of Fancy Perfect Occasions LLC. I have been planning, designing, and coordinating events for 20+ years. Designing weddings is my passion! After designing many events my decor collection keeps growing. So I opened a store front in 2018. This is where the collection is on display. It includes everything you can think of to create an amazing event! Strategically placed tablescapes, calculated lighting, and careful planning of all logistics can transform any space into a memorable experience for your guests. I am ready to help you design your special day!

From the very first conversation, I knew I was in good hands. Hollie has been an absolute dream to work with while helping me plan and design my wedding decor, timeline and everything in between! Not only is her eye for detail incredible, but she truly listens and brings your vision to life in a way that feels personal and intentional. She has been making the entire process feel calm, organized, and exciting!! Something every couple absolutely needs while planning a wedding. I’ve felt so supported every step of the way, and I genuinely can’t imagine my wedding without her creativity and guidance. If you’re looking for someone who cares deeply about your event and treats it like it’s her own, look no further!! The photo I have attached is my head table for our June wedding! I gave her an overall “vibe” of Disco Garden Party! This is just one example of how amazing her mind is!!

Hello, my name’s Joe! I’ve always had an inspiration for videography — I’ve dabbled in making films and creating short movie reviews. 2020 brought us all to a screeching halt and forced us to look at our lives seriously. I took a chance and quit my full-time job and entered the world of videography and owned my first business. We’ve learned life’s too short to settle for an unsatisfying job. I love creating in my home studio; something about pulling music and editing it into the video, crossfading audio, etc — is so exhilarating. It’s where my creativity comes to life.

JC1STUDIO was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding videography. From our very first interaction, Joe and Diana were positive, timely, and professional in their communication, ensuring we felt informed and at ease throughout the process. Their experience and creativity shone through in the final product - the teaser video they delivered captured all the best moments of our special day, even when the weather didn't cooperate. We genuinely had such a great time with both of them and would highly recommend JC1STUDIO to any couple looking for an upbeat and down-to-earth videographer who will deliver best-in-class results. We cannot wait for the final product. (They even spent a small time with us the night before capturing some of our hobbies—definitely a different version of adventure.)
