However this building is DANGEROUS; this venue should be avoided at all costs for events that can happen when there is snow on the ground. The building has a metal roof that's has a pitch of approximately 60-70°. If there's snow on the roof it's only a matter of time before it comes flying down before falling 3 stories to the ground. During our rehearsal dinner 5 cars had their windshields smashed in by falling snow and ice, including the bride's car. At least one vehicle had damage to the hood. The owners of the facility didn't even put up signs to notify people of the danger the next day for the wedding. I saw many people walk right under the spots where the cars were hit the night before. They just put up two caution cones and hoped for the best. After mentioning this to a few friends the following day we learned that similar incidents have happened in the past but no one was hurt. I find it disturbing that the owners have done nothing to stop people from parking or walking under this problem area. THE OWNERS ALREADY KNEW ABOUT THE ISSUE AND REFUSED TO ADDRESS IT. When this happened we all sat around and listened to the bride call the owners. The woman she spoke to was less than empathic to the bride who was obviously shaken up and crying. After finding out that no one was hurt the next thing she said was that everyone involved needs to call their insurance and make a claim. The next thing she said was, "Did you call the police? Since it's on private property the police don't need to be involved". After the bride hung up the phone we all just looked at each other dumbfounded by the lack of empathy or remorse. Two of the people whose windshields were smashed lived over an hour away and had to find someone to come and get them in the middle of a nasty storm. Also, there is a snowmobile trail that runs along 2 sides of the building. This means that it's legal for snowmobiles to be within a 10 ft of the building on all sides. The most recent wedding I attended had to be stopped a few times while we waited for packs of snowmobiles to pass. The trailhead and main gas station for the snowmobiles are also right next to Red Brick Hall. There's nothing on Google or Apple Maps indicating the presence of these trails and the owners obviously aren't going to tell you about them. To top it all off there's train tracks less than 200ft away. We had to stop the ceremony when a train came through blaring its horn. We're also still trying to figure out why the bride and groom were charged 10% more for food than originally agreed upon. If anything you'd think the owners would provide a discount after everything they put the couple through. I will edit this if the owner's insurance ends up taking care of the damaged vehicles but so far everyone is paying their deductible out of pocket.

The bridal suite was also the perfect place for my bridesmaids and I to get ready in. There were 6-7 of us getting ready in there, and it was the perfect amount of space. The owners were also amazing to work with. Any time I had a question or wanted to visit the hall, all I had to do was shoot a text and I got my answer shortly after. We also had a couple *slight* mishaps the day of, and both Jeff and Jessica were there helping us or offering back up solutions in case things didn't work out. They also even set off some fireworks for us at the end of the night!! I can't put into words how happy I am that I decided to have my wedding here!! We had a near perfect wedding day at the perfect place!!

We have invested over $4,000 in dinner tickets, along with a $600 membership, based on the clear expectation that these events would be honored. We are now being told refunds will only begin after the property is sold, with no defined timeline. That is not a reasonable or acceptable plan given the amount of money customers have already paid. (100 memberships were offered @$600 a piece) What is even more troubling is that Farrand Hall continues to actively promote and accept payment for upcoming community dinners, while simultaneously stating they do not have the capital to fulfill existing obligations or issue refunds. It is very difficult to understand how new payments are being accepted when prior commitments cannot be honored. At this point, customers deserve: * A clear and specific refund timeline * Immediate communication on how and when funds will be returned * Transparency around how current and future payments are being handled Farrand Hall has built something special over the years, which makes this situation even more disappointing. But transparency, accountability, and doing right by customers should be the priority right now. I hope we see more responsible communication and action very soon.

I rely quite heavily on Yelp for making decisions about businesses, but like so many others, I…read moredon't contribute nearly enough to the community with my own reviews. After my wedding this past weekend, I felt I had to come on here and share my experience with our venue, Riverside Receptions. My wife and I were intent on having a unique wedding. We wanted something outdoorsy, and within a 200 mile radius of Detroit. We were also intent on finding a venue that would let us do things the way we wanted. So often, you see that the best venues make you use their caterer, place restrictions on how long the bar can be open, etc, and we wanted to avoid that to make sure we could throw the best party possible. We scoured the internet, and found virtually no options that met these criteria. When we came upon RR's website, we were obviously impressed by the pictures. However, we always assume that pictures are deceiving. So, when we visited the venue for the first time, we were astounded. Seriously, this is the most beautiful place you can imagine. The precision and care that went into the design of RR is mind blowing. Every detail is perfect - it's like Disney. John, the owner, was absolutely wonderful to work with. He let us do whatever we wanted, and provided tons of support in terms of pulling everything together. We had our set up at 10am, started the cocktail hour at 3pm, and didn't have to be out of the venue until midnight. How often can you find a wedding venue where the party is 9 hours long? And, since we were allowed to bring in our own bar and our own caterer, we were able to save thousands when compared to other venues. I've read other reviews online saying that RR is expensive. These reviewers are *insane*. You couldn't possibly find a venue as beautiful as this and spend less money. In the end, the comments from the guests ranged from "How the hell did you find this place?" to "This can't be real". Our goal was to wow people, and RR made that possible. Now, there's always a catch. For RR, it's that the venue is in the middle of absolutely nowhere. This is kind of cool, because you're totally isolated, but it does add headaches to the planning process. The closest hotels to the venue are in the middle of Three Rivers, about 10 miles away. I strongly recommend using the Super 8. I know what you're thinking: "Super 8? Sounds gross". But, it's actually quite nice, and much closer than some other hotels down in the Sturgis area. It's also very reasonable, as one would expect from a Super 8. Now, if your guests are drinking, you really need to have a solution for getting everyone to and from the venue safely. So, you'll have to spend some money to hire shuttles. The closet vendor we could find was in Kalamazoo. This added some cost to the event, but this was more than offset by the savings we realized on the caterer and bar. Moral of the story: For us, having our wedding at Riverside Receptions was the best decision we've ever made. Just visit the venue, and you'll understand why.

Located off of Twin Lakes Road in Cassopolis, Marion Magnolia Farms is family-run with an industrialized vintage modern vibe sparkled complete with crystal chandeliers, vintage couches, large white drapery, wooden tables, and chairs for the reception. The ceremony site took us outside, where guests sat on long wooden benches surrounded by their beautiful orchards and a handcrafted windmill. The owner, Brittney, and her assistant and cousin, Lauren, were there the entire day, making sure everything ran smoothly. There is no air conditioning indoors other than windows and large barn doors. I would like to recommend adding paper towels in the restrooms. Some of the guests were using toilet paper instead of the hand dryers. One look at this place, and you will fall in love as there were so many great photo ops, and everyone had a wonderful time, which we can recommend.
