We got married at Rush Lake Memories this June and we had a wonderful experience! The staff were super friendly and willing to answer all of our questions. They were super accommodating of our needs and flexible to ensure we had the best experience possible. Throughout the entire process, Rush Lake Memories had great communication with us! The day of our wedding, the event space was extremely clean and well organized. The Bridal and Groom suites were really nice to get ready in, and everyone was so welcoming!

She did an Amazing job wrangling everyone and making sure we all knew what to do during the rehearsal. And when our wedding day finally arrived, Amy was prepared, organized, and ready to make our wedding dreams come true. Because of her, we were able to relax and be in the moment while getting ready to walk down the aisle. She sent me pictures throughout the morning to make sure everything was perfect. And she definitely took my vision and brought it to life. We kept hearing from our friends and family the same 3 rave reviews, the food was delicious, the venue was magical, and Amy was Amazing.

The venue itself was/is absolutely gorgeous. The pictures on the website, or social media, help show how beautiful it is, but in person, it is so much more beautiful. The communication from the owners and managers were excellent. Our caterer backed out about 4 months prior to our date and the manager helped us by offering different recommendations within our budget. We did not have to deal with this since our weather was perfect, but they have a very good backup plan that works well for unseen weather. Overall, I will recommend this venue fully to anyone interested.

We knew we wanted our wedding to be full of dancing, so our DJ was one of the first vendors we booked. We hit the absolute JACKPOT with Luxx and DJ Mike. Mike kept the party going and the only time our guests were leaving the dance floor was to grab another drink. Even our friends and family who don't dance were out on the dance floor tearing it up thanks to Mike. He did a great job mixing songs and keeping the energy high. We had so many guests tell us after the wedding it was the best music and dance floor of any wedding they'd been to. Mike was incredibly professional and easy to work with and we can't recommend him and Luxx Entertainment enough!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had our wedding in November 2025 using Classic Catering & Events for dinner, desserts, and our wedding cake, as well as having their sister company Once Upon a Bloom for our florist. Heather covered both areas stunningly well. For dinner we did the chopped steak, grilled chicken, green beans, salad, and Mac and cheese all in buffet style. Everything came out great, cooked to perfection. The chopped steak was especially tasty and a favorite with both me (the bride) and guests! And the fact that it came with a water, lemonade, and sweet tea stand was so nice for our guests who didn’t drink alcohol or for those who did drink, and needed to stay hydrated. For dessert we did an arrangement of small goodies including the cake shooters, and it also came out amazing. The cake shooters were my favorite of all the desserts, we even got to pick a variety of different cake flavors! And CC&E arranged everything to be picture perfect on the tables, bringing their own food stands which was a huge help to me. The cake was a simple but elegant two tier chocolate cake with white frosting. It also came out tasting great. It was affordable, which I appreciated, allowing us the ability to choose the traditional tiered cake over boring sheet cake but remain within our budget. With the floral arrangements, Heather went above and beyond. As a bride who knows very little about flowers, I did not give Heather much to go on when creating our bouquets and floral arrangements. And yet she took the pictures of me and my bridesmaids’ dresses, the wedding colors and themes, and the wedding Pinterest I had made, and was able to create incredible bouquets and arrangements, while also being aware of our budget! I was speechless seeing the bouquets and got so many compliments. The most impressive thing about this is the fact that Heather did all this work while only being able to email with me due to the fact that I live in a different state than AL and travel for work quite often. Even with an 8 hour time difference (for a month leading up to the wedding due to my work trip) her communication with me was effective and timely. Heather’s dedication and expertise is one reason why my wedding was so stress free! I highly, highly recommend Heather’s two companies Classic Catering & Events and Once Upon a Bloom to any bride in the Alabama area.

My husband nor I are from Michigan (from the Chicagoland area) and everyone kept asking us "why Michigan?" The moment they walked in, they felt the same feeling I did when I first toured the venue. It is beautiful, unique, personal and was everything and more that I could have hoped for. Our wedding as at the end of June and we were very fortunate that the rain held off and the temperature/humidity ended up being perfect. We had about 185 guests attend the wedding and I think everyone was too stunned by the venue to even care about the drizzle of rain that was happening. Not to mention, Amelia and her staff are absolutely amazing from the very beginning to the very end.

Hi there! Viavi is a local flower farm + design company located in Southwest Michigan. We are all about the unique bits and the freshest of blooms! We offer three types of wedding services: Bucket Service, Á La Carte Service and Full Service florals, including all design & installations, as well as rental services. This tiered system is to designed to help each couple hit their own budget goals, not ours!

Awarded Best of Zola
We ordered buckets of blooms to arrange ourselves for the centerpieces and aisle decorations, along with some premade pieces for the arch and bar, and our bouquets. Suzi was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process - she really brought my vision to life and gave us helpful tips on how to display the flowers and keep them fresh. The buckets of blooms were perfect for a DIY bride like me, giving us flexibility to create our own arrangements (and save a little money). And the the premade pieces were absolutely gorgeous - I'm so glad I decided not to do everything myself! Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting how beautiful everything looked! We also love supporting a female-owned flower farm. Highly recommend Viavi Flower Farm for anyone looking for gorgeous, thoughtfully curated wedding flowers.

My husband and I both hate having our photos taken but Shawnia and her team made the process smooth and stress free. She was organized, communicative, and most of all, made it fun! She told us what to do and how to pose in a way that made the photos come out looking natural as well as capturing many great photos when we weren’t paying attention that really displayed our personalities and love for each other. Communication is amazing throughout the process and turnaround time on photos was insanely fast for how many photos we received. Would 100% recommend Oh Shoot Photography again and again!

We had the best Hair and Makeup artists KayLeigh and Corena from Alder Hair Studio for our wedding! This is the dream team for making you feel beautiful on your big day. These girls were so incredibly talented, and make you feel like the best version of yourself. Not only did they get everyone's hair and makeup done in a very tight timeline but they made sure to take the time to explain what they were doing and ask what bridal party members wanted for there looks. the comfort of my bridal party was my top priority so finding out that alder hair studios was LGBTQ friendly and had an eye for making you look beautiful was the best feeling in the world. multiple members of my bridal party couldnt say enough about how much they loved getting dolled up by KayLeigh and Corena. On top of it I found out after the wedding one of my bridesmaids who has a skin condition asked the makeup artists to help cover it up and they helped make her feel beautiful in her own skin, I have never seen her glow with confidence she truly felt and looked stunning! Plus they took the time to move to the Grooms room and give him a hairstyle that fit him and his curly hair so well! Thank you so much Kayleigh and Corena for being part of the best day of our lives!

We had such a wonderful experience working with Saint Rose Florist for our wedding! Jennifer was amazing from start to finish—extremely communicative throughout the entire planning process and truly a joy to work with. She took the time to understand our vision and helped us identify exactly what we needed for our floral arrangements. On top of that, she provided clear, helpful instructions on how to care for the flowers the day of, which made everything go smoothly. Jennifer delivered everything right on time to the venue, and the bouquets and boutonnieres she created were absolutely stunning—elegant, fresh, and even more beautiful than we imagined.
