About this venue
We are a romantic and classic wedding venue located in Shepherd, Michigan, just minutes from Central Michigan University. Our reception space can accommodate up to 375 guests and features a beautiful floor-to-ceiling fireplace, fairy lights, floral chandeliers, a custom bar, farmhouse tables, banquet tables, and black Chiavari chairs with leather cushions. We also offer a prep kitchen, two parking lots, and a beautifully landscaped backyard area with a privacy fence, two patios, and a pergola. One of our favorite features is that we have two private getting-ready spaces: The Ivory Suite and The Sable Room. Each suite includes a lounge, private bathroom, and changing room, giving both sides of the wedding party their own comfortable space to relax and get ready. We are also currently adding an indoor ceremony space, which will allow couples to host both their ceremony and reception at The Wright Place. This space is expected to be complete by the end of summer, August 2026.

The Wright Place made planning our wedding so easy with their fast and helpful communication every step of the way. They provided us with the entire weekend to set up and celebrate, which meant we didn't feel rushed and could really soak in every moment of our special day. We loved having two separate bridal suites so our bride and groom each had their own space to get ready before the ceremony. 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.
