This venue is nice. It spans across multiple properties. The house across the street is for the wedding party to stay and get ready. The ceremony was on the lawn behind the house. It was all open field and they do have beautiful landscaping and steps going down. When you book this place you get it for the whole weekend. I was the wedding photographer and i was stretched thin walking back and forth and up and down. I will say the steps going upstairs into the reception area which is in the upper level of a barn did not feel very safe. They do have a working elevator for guests that cant do steps but it is extremely slow so it is not something you'd want several people using. It holds 4 people at a time and takes all of 5 minutes. They had another area that you can rent for an additional $3k to have the reception on ground level. You will need outside catering and i would hire/bring someone to maintain the premises during your celebration. Ive been shooting weddings for 10 years and this is the first time ever that i seen the groom empty trashcans during the middle of his wedding reception. The owners were not there and nobody seemed to be there maintaining anything but this seems to be happening more and more. I never seen anyone working other than bartenders and the catering company. The couple that hired me brought a golf cart which I would say you'd absolutely need. It would have been great if the venue provided one but they did not. We were there in early June so it wasn't too hot yet but I imagine Jul Aug Sept are pretty hot in that barns upper level. They had portable ac units but with 170 guests in the upper level of a barn, I will just say that the bride and grooms faces were pretty shiny. It wasn't terrible in June. All in all, it is a beautiful property and you get it for the entire weekend. There is plenty of room for everyone and they will allow a few campers to park on the property as well. I would love to see them just use that lower level but its not my business. It would be so much nicer if they invested in some round tables and had a centrally located space designated for food and a dance floor like a real wedding venue but that is all tucked away in a corner. All of the tables are laid out like a school cafeteria but without gaps between them and barely any space. You can see in the photos. If the venue sets it all up, I would absolutely suggest that you specify that you would like space between the tables so people can get in and out of their seats and a central location for the dancing. Im honestly not sure who sets everything up though. It was a very unique experience. If that lower level would have been included and someone maintained the premises, I would give it 5 stars all day because it really is a beautiful and secluded location. For the upstairs of a really old barn, I am struggling to give 4 stars but I have no reason not to. Im just glad i was there in June! read more
Very nice wedding venue - I attended a wedding here this weekend. It was pouring out all day, so the ceremony was underneath a covered area, and then cocktails/appetizers were downstairs in a different area and the reception was in the barn. The wedding party stayed in the house which I believe is an option you can choose. The area is kind of in the middle of nowhere (20 minutes from Jackson and 45 from Ann Arbor) so I'd imagine that was helpful. The stairs leading up to the 2nd floor of the barn from the 1st floor are pretty narrow - I was luckily wearing flats but I can't imagine navigating it in heels. Otherwise, really nice venue for a wedding. read more

The venue is beautiful, however for the price of this place, they should at least HELP you set up for your event. Our party had to do literally everything. Also, this place smells like a petting zoo. Just some food for thought. read more
