Barn weddings and banquet halls are the rage around here and nothing felt right for us. Then I found a new (recently renovated) venue called Lake Michigan Gardens. We were sold. We did the vows outside with the pond, flowers, arbors, and space for guests to roam was lovely. The dining area is spacious and you can set it up how you prefer. The bar area is really great and us girls had fun in the brides room getting ready. Kristy, the event coordinator, is down to earth and so helpful and we just knew it was the spot for us. I think we may be the first wedding they have had, but I guarentee it will not be their last. They will work with you on vendors and your thoughts and wants. Weddings are crazy, but ours went smoothly and it had a lot to do with Lake Michigan Gardens. I highly recommend checking out this lovely spot. All of my family and friends had nothing but high praises for the venue and a beautiful day there.

My husband being a photography connoisseur sincerely appreciated her artist approach compared to the run of the mill wedding photographers found in southwest Michigan.

We highly recommend Jennifer or Jami as they were both excellent photographers that really captured our big day.

I was worried about the sound quality at the bandshell because it's an outdoor venue, but Tim is a pro and made sure our vows were heard loud and clear. Even in the iPhone videos, the entire ceremony is audible. He also timed the ceremony music perfectly. The dance floor was full the entire night at our reception, and he worked with the photographer to keep the flow of the night on schedule. Tim flowed seamlessly between feel good songs, to line dancing, to the Chainsmokers. The variety was exactly what we wanted. He was a pleasure to work with. He's incredibly polite, organized, and fun. Don't hesitate to book Tim for your DJ needs.
