    Great Venue for a Wedding!

    This venue has been one of my favorites to take wedding photos at! The ceremony spot is beautiful, and there are a lot of great spots to take pictures around the venue!

    One of the best outdoor venues in Marquette County

    Nagelkirk Gardens was a dream AND a lifesaver. We opted for the entire weekend package, which left us lots of time on Friday to set up, not worry about a thing on Saurday (wedding day) and brunch/tear down on Sunday. Samantha and her staff are wonderful and do everything in their power to make your ideas come to life, ensuring a perfect day. This is the team you want behind you during your wedding day. We trusted them and they were amazing.
