I truly don’t know if there are enough words to express how happy and grateful we are that we chose Pinecrest Northwoods for our wedding. The property itself is absolutely magical, the grounds are stunning, it's so secluded and quiet, and the cabins have been restored beautifully, with so much thought and care put into every single detail. Madi and Mike have created a space that is truly special, from the record they have playing in the sauna to the curated collections of books they have on their shelves, you can tell how much of their hearts they have poured into making Pinecrest what it is. But as gorgeous as the property is, Madi and Mike are what made our wedding truly above and beyond anything we could have dreamed. They are incredible at what they do. Throughout the entire planning process, they were organized, thoughtful, reassuring, and so genuinely invested in making our wedding everything we hoped it would be. The morning of our wedding, I was absolutely panicking because of the forecast. We had discussed our rain plan when we had arrived a few days earlier, but I was so worried about changing the vision we had had for our wedding day. Madi and Mike stayed calm, positive, and confident that things would work out. They adjusted the plan, took care of everything, and somehow created something even more perfect than what we had originally planned. What I thought was going to ruin everything ended up becoming one of the things that made our wedding feel so intimate, so cozy, and everything we could have asked for and more. Our wedding weekend was truly better than we ever could have imagined, and we owe that all to Madi and Mike. Their calming presence, creativity, attention to detail, and ability to make everything feel completely under control made all the difference to us that day. We will forever be grateful for the care they put into our day, and for the memories we were able to make there with the people we love most. We can't wait to come back and visit Pinecrest, it's so special to think that we will be able to bring our family back to stay at and enjoy the place where we got married. Thank you again to Madi and Mike for everything you did for us, and if anyone is thinking about getting married at Pinecrest, do it!!

We knew the minute we walked onto the property that this was the place. From the beautiful scenery to every thoughtful detail in the décor, it is truly nothing short of magical. This is a family-run business, and you can feel that in everything they do. Alyssia was there every step of the way—answering questions, helping with décor, and making sure everything came together. On our wedding day, we had what felt like a tiny 20-minute break in the rain, and she made sure I got out on the dock for the Wedding I had been hoping for. That meant so much to me. Jim and Julie, the owners, are simply the best. The care they put into this property and into the people who stay there is so evident. I cannot recommend this place enough, whether you are planning a wedding or simply looking for an incredible place to get away. Our entire weekend was so special, and I truly wish I could do it all over again.
