The Treasury is the absolute BEST! My husband and I had our wedding reception there earlier this month, and they made our wedding vision come true! We received so many complements on how gorgeous our venue was, how amazing the food tasted, and how attentive and kind all of the staff was to guests. I never lifted a finger on my wedding day! I was greeted by staff many times throughout the day asking what I needed - drinks, snacks, water, last minute requests, ANYTHING we needed and they were on it. We primarily worked with Natalie and Hayley throughout our wedding planning process, and they were an absolute pleasure to work with. Any other staff we encountered throughout our wedding day were also so kind, thoughtful, and attentive to our needs and all of our guests. The Airbnbs upstairs are also beautiful and made planning, getting ready, and hosting our family/wedding party such a breeze. There are also so many BEAUTIFUL spots for photos - the options are endless. For everything you get with The Treasury - they are the total package and worth every penny! Cannot recommend them enough!

I honestly thought the vision of an outdoor winter wedding was going to continue to just be a dream. So many people told us we were crazy and “good luck” because why on earth would we get married outside in the cold. It wasn’t until I brought this idea up to the Holly vault, and they immediately said “let’s do it!” The staff at this venue were out there until minutes before the ceremony blowing off snow from the chairs, putting salt down, and cranking the heat lamps. A huge shoutout to my coordinator Sam, and all the staff at this venue who worked their butts off to make this happen for us. Every single coordinator, server, bartender, and staff member at this venue worked so hard to make our day/night so special. We have recieved numerous comments on how impressed our guests were with the service provided and we just couldn’t be more thrilled. You will not regret going with The Holly Vault.

She responded to all our questions promptly and helped ensure everything came together smoothly. The venue itself is simply stunning with tall trees, string lights, and beautiful landscaping that made bringing in additional decor almost unnecessary. We felt the venue was very fairly priced given the beautiful setting and helpful staff. Amelia even took the time during the reception to capture photos for an Instagram reel to help us remember our special moments at MillCreek Wilde. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect, naturally beautiful venue with an accommodating team to match for our wedding day! It was a magical setting - exactly right for our personalities and hopes for our “enchanted woodland” wedding!

We had such a great experience with Plymouth Manor for our wedding reception. They were able to accommodate our intimate reception of 60 guest. Aya and Sam were so amazing and helpful, they nailed it! The food and staff was great. They were even able to help us find a DJ who was amazing, before they helped us I was so worried about a DJ, so to have them be able to help, was truly amazing. We even at the end decided to upgrade the lighting, which was a great choice. Everything looked great and went so smoothly and we and our guest had a blast. My best friend had her reception there over 10 years and she recommend them and I would also highly recommend Plymouth Manor. If there is another life event in our life that we would need to host, I would definitely go back to Plymouth Manor.

Beautiful space and great owners! Sarah was so helpful to work with and very genuine. Of all the venues we toured and owners we spoke with, Sarah stood out for understanding what her business is about and what it means for couples. She was so easy to work with and made the whole process smooth. The chalkboards were so fun to decorate and really added to our decorations. The space was well cared for and maintained. The bell tower was a great spot to take pictures, but brace yourself for a climb! We especially appreciated the Pay it Forward decoration closet. There were so many decoration options and themes to choose from! It was a real help for us to have on hand so we could limit how many decorations we purchased/rented. We loved getting married here and would recommend it to anyone!

Everyone says “Something will go wrong on your wedding day.” They don’t know the magic of the Morris Estate. It’s impossible to describe how perfect our wedding day was, not only for me and my husband, but also our wedding party and our families. Everyone involved got to spend the long weekend relaxing, having fun, and celebrating at this beautiful property without any worry of getting assigned random tasks or cleanup duties— the Morris Estate staff was ON IT every step of the way. At the helm was Ryan Bergstrom, our coordinator, who made the incredibly complicated task of planning a wedding feel easy. As an artist, I wanted every element to be unique and intentional, and was quite frankly worried that the Estate wouldn’t be amenable to a more avant-garde event. I approached them with the idea of hanging a large tapestry painting in the chapel and they got right to work with how they could make that happen. There were no requests that went unheard, and it was clear Ryan was a fantastic collaborator and coordinator in all aspects of planning. Plus, anything or anyone that you need, they have a great recommendation on deck— we found this to be true when seeking an officiant for our ceremony as well as a florist. Trudi and Cherry Road Homestead knocked the florals out of the park. The actual wedding ceremony couldn’t have gone more smoothly, with a comprehensive rehearsal in the chapel and the changing rooms in the basement, everyone was able to get ready on time and relax leading up to the ceremony. With about 100 people in it, the chapel felt intimate but gave guests plenty of room to breathe. It was a short, beautiful ceremony that was tailored exactly to our needs as a couple. Yet another fabulous aspect of working with the Morris Estate was the ease of transition throughout events. Cocktails were in guests’ hands before I could even finish bustling my dress. We never felt rushed, yet everything managed to happen on time. Ryan did a great job taking the time beforehand to meet any vendors not directly from the Estate, so everyone knew exactly what they needed to do their part. The reception was unbelievable. I’ve planned other events, designed movie sets and installation art, and was truly blown away by what they accomplished. It was so exciting to see all of the love and hard work that went into making our vision come to life and see the excitement on guests’ faces when they walked into the tent. It was colorful, magical and totally surreal. Now, to talk about the food. With the estate catering both the rehearsal dinner and reception we got to try just about everything on the menu. We were very pleasantly surprised at our tasting before the wedding. The Estate Manager Nate, Chef Tom and their team had tons of options for us that were as beautiful as they were delicious. Arguably, the most difficult part of working with the Morris Estate was having to pick just a few of the options for our customized menu because they were all. so. good. Our guests had so many kind words about how fun and joyous the entire evening was, and instead of worrying who was going to help clean up at the end of the night, the Morris Estate had it fully covered. Everything was organized back into boxes for us to take home the next morning. I’m sure I’m forgetting so many other wonderful things that the staff did for us, but we will forever be grateful for such an incredible long weekend full of love and celebration. TLDR: Everything was perfect.

We had the most wonderful experience at St. Cecilia's on our wedding day! From booking to the day of the wedding, Nadine was so helpful! Communication was wonderful leading up to the day. We even got a layout of our table setup to send to other vendors. They were also so accommodating when we decided to move the buffet to the lower level of the building. Choosing this venue was truly a worthwhile investment! We were originally concerned about the option of only one bar vendor. But we now know why they prioritize them! Martha's catering went above and beyond for us and the bartenders were wonderful. They clearly know the venue and have a lot of experience. So do not let the catering options deter you, clearly St. Cecilia's has them picked for a reason and you can trust your vendors! Have I mentioned that the building is gorgeous!?! The ballroom is stunning and the rooms are all so magical. It is such a beautiful wedding venue. Our guests had a wonderful time!

Choosing The Colony Club as our wedding reception venue was one of the best decisions we made. After getting engaged, we toured multiple metro and downtown Detroit venues with the hope of finding something elegant, classic, and timeless. Many were beautiful—but when we walked into The Colony Club, we immediately felt that this was the one. The entire style and vibe were exactly what we were looking for. We fell in love with every space—from Bar Charles to the breathtaking Grand Ballroom. We were also impressed by how much was included without extra add-on costs: tables, chairs, food, liquor, signature drinks, and more. It made planning easier and helped us stay within budget. From our very first meeting, we worked with Amber, our sales manager, and she stayed with us up until the week of the wedding. Amber was absolutely exceptional throughout the entire process. She was helpful, organized, flexible, and so easy to communicate with. We met multiple times at the venue, both with and without her, while making decisions for the big day, and she was always available to answer questions, address concerns, and offer thoughtful advice. Amber took care of coordinating with our other vendors, and I never once felt worried about how things would come together. Even during the stressful week leading up to the wedding—when I was emailing and calling constantly—she was patient, reassuring, and truly amazing to work with. Now the food… wow. It was exceptional! We still have guests raving about everything—from the appetizers to the entrées. The service and quality exceeded all of our expectations, and friends and family continue to tell us what an incredible wedding it was. From our very first appointment with Amber to the moment our reception began, we could not imagine having our wedding anywhere else. We will always look back on our wedding day with so much gratitude, happiness, and appreciation that we chose The Colony Club. If you’re considering this venue, trust me—you will not regret it!

This was the perfect venue for us. Do you want an old-world feel and classic feeling for your wedding? This is perfect. Do you want all the amenities, modern accommodations for your wedding? This isn’t it. We wanted to feel like we were in another world for our wedding. This served as the perfect place. My husband and I stayed in the Ivy suite and his groomsmen in the Essex. This was perfect as he went to the Essex room to get ready with the groomsmen and the Ivy was perfect for the bridal party as there were multiple rooms for hair and makeup to set up. Most of the wedding party and family rented out the rooms - so we got to see those, and all were unique and beautiful in their own ways. I recommend reserving the room Bath for a bridesmaid or whomever will be steaming dresses. The pergola and Medovue Hall both were beautiful for the ceremony and reception respectively. We didn’t do a lot of decorations because I felt the beauty of the hall spoke for itself. We had the Duck for dinner - and it was perfect. Everyone raved about it. The bartenders and waitstaff were so nice and personable. Adriana was great to organize and work with. All in all, we loved our venue and highly recommend it.

We knew we were going to need a large space with our guest count but there was zero compromise on intimacy along with attention to detail at the Masonic. They offer several customizable options for bridal/ groom suites, catering, cocktail hour, and reception. The main ballroom looked stunning especially the two main chandeliers. Although the packages/ guidelines seemed rigid, we were eventually able to get most of the results we were looking for through some tinkering and back and forth correspondence. We were very impressed by the catering and waitstaff as the food received several compliments throughout the night. The only complaints on our end would be the temperature regulation of the main ballroom, which I'm sure comes with the building being older, and some areas of “hospitality”. There were a lot of things that were agreed upon in person but when it came time to be put into writing, those conversations were either misunderstood or backtracked. As I mentioned before, we eventually got to the result we were looking for but often received some resistance upfront.

I cannot rave about my experience at Hamlet Creek enough! I was really looking for an “all in one” type of venue so I booked ceremony, reception, photography, and used their decor services as well. I LOVED everything about my experience. Being from out of town the decor services were so amazing - no only was Patience able to bring my vision to life but it was also so helpful to bring less stuff to Green Bay. All of my guests raved about how gorgeous the venue was and we got ready on site too to keep it simple. 10/10 recommend booking your wedding with them! Chris & Patience put their heart and soul into the space and you can tell when you’re there. Highly recommend booking all your services with them!

We didn’t want a cookie-cutter wedding—we wanted something that felt fun, a little quirky, and totally us. This venue? Absolutely nailed it. It’s got that rustic barn charm, but somehow manages to feel like the coolest, most inviting space you’ve ever stepped into. Think fairy lights, wood beams, and an atmosphere that practically begs for laughter, dancing, and one too many toasts. We turned the whole thing into a wedding weekend by renting the adjoining Airbnb, which was a game-changer. Having 12 of our nearest and dearest stay on-site transformed it into a nonstop celebration. The night before the wedding, we had a DIY pizza night, complete with way too many toppings and a heated debate about pineapple on pizza. By the time the big day rolled around, it felt like everyone had already bonded over late-night snacks and board games in the living room. The day itself was pure magic. We held the ceremony outside under a canopy of trees, where nature did most of the decorating for us. During cocktail hour, guests lounged on mismatched vintage furniture we’d rented (highly recommend!) while a friend played acoustic covers of 90s hits. The barn transformed beautifully for dinner and dancing, and there was even space for a little surprise—an impromptu late-night waffle bar that we set up after the formalities were done. Yes, waffles. It was a hit. The venue team? Incredible. They were super responsive, proactive in giving us tips, and genuinely seemed excited about helping us pull off our slightly offbeat wedding vision. They even recommended a florist who totally got our vibe (wildflowers and ferns everywhere). If you’re dreaming of a wedding that’s more about joy and personality than stiff formality, this is the place. It gave us the freedom to create something truly special—where every little detail felt personal, and everyone left with a big grin and a full heart (and maybe a slight waffle-induced food coma). We’ll be talking about this weekend for years to come.

Having our wedding at Woldumar was SO, SO special!!! We took the risk of having an August 10 wedding in their barn with no A/C...and we were rewarded with beautiful 70 degree weather. One of their exhaust fans was broken, but they purchased window fans and an industrial fan to keep the air moving. Definitely not an issue for us given our incredible weather, but I was a little nervous in the lead-up. Victoria was SO EASY to work with, I cannot sing her praises enough. From booking until wedding day, she was right there with us. She had fantastic advice on vendors and ceremony details that made things go so smoothly (walking across the bridge was the best idea EVER). The golf cart photo tour was AWESOME, too! My husband and I are very outdoorsy, so it was fun to spend so much time outside on our big day. You can tell the Woldumar staff put a lot of love into their grounds. We got so many compliments on how beautiful everything was! It was truly the perfect venue for us. We didn't even need much decor because the barn and ceremony space are so beautiful on their own. We didn't purchase day-before or day-after barn access which made things a little chaotic. I recommend getting the day-after cleaning, as we were in a mad rush to get things cleaned before midnight on wedding day. The security guard was also very rude during clean up. I'd pay extra to not have to deal with him again... All in all, great venue for the outdoorsy couple! We loved being able to choose all of our own vendors, too. We felt like we had so much creative control, which we wouldn't have gotten at a full-service venue. It's also so comforting to know our money went to a nature center. Much better than a golf course, at least in my opinion!

Got married here 5/11/24, the staff was very attentive, food was amazing, and the mansion was so beautiful. The 2 hours before the ceremony were chaotic since rain was on and off and we were unsure if an outdoor ceremony would happen or not. 10 minutes before the ceremony started staff ran out wiped all the chairs, and were able to make it happen! Received tons of compliments on the beauty of the venue, and how delicious the food was. 4/5 stars just because at the end of the night we were pushed out faster than our allowed 30minutes, the manager was literally locking doors as people were walking out of them, and we got a couple complaints about the bar staff. Besides that it was all amazing

When our initial big wedding plans in another city fell through due to COVID-19, we were scrambling to find a local outdoor venue for an intimate wedding. Nicole responded immediately, and helped us plan our safe, small, intimate, beautiful outdoor wedding ceremony. Nicole was so kind, understanding and kept us updated on all state requirements and restrictions as it got closer to our date. And, of course, the venue was absolutely breathtaking. The Kellogg Manor gardens with the backdrop of Gull Lake was the most perfect setting for our dream wedding - we could not have planned for something more magical.
