Cobblestone Farm

he space, making our planning and coordinating much easier. There were set times to do tours and visit the sight so we could test our decorations and discuss our plans with the staff. The entire staff was available for questions and assisted with the setup in advance. We were able to set up games and a tent outside but had plenty of space indoors to eat and dance. We had a delightful experience at this space and would highly recommend it for a wedding reception.

uld work.

ommunicate with, helpful (especially with changes in the floorplan), and incredibly pleasant. Highly recommend!

wedding Cobblestone is a great choice. The staff was there to supervise and make sure the building was in good shape, but they don’t help with much else. We had a lot of friends and family to help out, so everything turned out perfect for us. I would do it all again in a heartbeat!

. Would definitely recommend as they have reasonable prices and are so welcoming!

beautiful and did not need much in the way of decorating - some simple hanging lanterns along with our table centerpieces were plenty to make it look elegant! We loved having indoor and outdoor space all in one location. We highly recommend Cobblestone Farm!

not hinder the good time had at all! One thing we liked is that we could use any vendor we wanted. They do, however, provide you with a vendor list if you need suggestions. Our wedding was beautiful!

g, however, was a completely different story. Cobblestone gave me the wedding of my dreams! While it is a lot of extra work and coordination compared to a banquet hall or a golf course, my bridal party and family had so much fun getting together the day before to set up and make the place our own. Our pictures are beautiful! As long as you follow the little rules they have, you will be nothing but happy.

while they were setting up. At the end of the night, I was carrying boxes down the stairs in a wedding gown, because if I used the elevator for 'freight' I'd lose my $300 deposit. At least the lady at the venue helped carry stuff and found me a box to put things in. You may want to add extra signage to direct people to the bathrooms.

er you want in particular. Many locations require you to use their caterer, not Cobblestone. You're free to do whatever you want. Staff members are very friendly and were always helpful if I needed anything or had questions/concerns. This venue is booked every single weekend of the year, and about 18 months in advance. So getting a date there can be tricky and has to be done well in advance. This may be annoying to some, but it worked out very well for me. Booked my date almost exactly one year in advance. It's a bit pricey for just a venue. Nothing is included other than tables and chairs and the space itself. Overall though, Cobblestone Farm is fantastic. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to be married!

The location was perfect, ceremony and reception at the same location. The price was reasonable and you could pick whichever vendors you wanted. The only thing we had an issue with was our supervisor the night of our wedding. When we needed her to turn down the lights or had questions about little things, she was nowhere to be found. And when someone found her, she was in the bathroom on her cell phone or outside on her cell phone. Also, we pre-paid for an extra hour at the farm in case we needed it but ended up not needing it and they didnt refund it. Im not sure if they will but we hope they do, because in the contract it says nothing about no refunds when you purchase additional hours. Overall, great expreience, minus the supervisor being MIA.

very hot! But after dinner everyone came down to the main floor and it was fine. The grounds are a great place for pictures. We have pictures of us petting the animals they have there!!

in our own caterer, DJ, cake baker, etc. It was great not to have to work with a preset list of vendors. If you are planning on an open bar, be aware that Cobblestone does not allow hard alcohol, but they do permit wine and beer. We had approximately 75 people at our wedding, and it was the perfect size - big enough so that we could spread out our tables, but small enough that it didn't feel like an empty space. I would highly recommend it!

omes with a typical reception venue. At first it seems there are a lot of picky rules but it was no problem for us and we got our deposit back. I would highly recommend it. It's a beautiful venue.

a full barn of people. Everyone we spoke with was willing to give advice based on experience and what has worked in the past. They were flexible and very accommodating. The only thing that I didn't like was you only had the venue for 10 hours, which included set up and clean up. You needed to purchase additional hours ahead of time. This made it difficult as I didn't know how long it would take to decorate. But overall it was cheaper than other venues I had looked into.

hrooms are not very nice looking, but they are clean. The venue sets your tables and chairs based on your floor plan but provides NO HELP - so either hire it out or prepare a team because you have a 10-hour rental for your day-of ONLY. Additional hours last-minute cost $250/hr which is significant since renting for 10 hours costs $1100. There is beer and wine only and they WILL take away your security deposit if your guests bring any liquor - they even checked in the parking lot! It's a gorgeous spot, I love my photos, but you have to be clear with your guests that there is no liquor allowed, and be prepared with a team for set-up and tear-down to stay within your time limits as those are strict as well. It's a bargain if you are willing to do the work.

ible for linens flatware alcohol...the works) but we pubs it every worth it whe everything was all said and done

ding and did not interrupt the reception at all. We had a very relaxed reception and bbq- went great. The place was clean when we arrived. My only complaint is the limited timeframe you get for your money.

t's not what you think of when you think barn. It's completely finished off inside- white walls and wood floors which makes it easy to decorate with whatever color your wedding is. It comfortably seated 180 people with a dance floor. Our only complaint throughout the whole thing was that the people had communication issues, which caused some last minute drama the day of the wedding... A few of the managers we had talked to a couple of weeks before the wedding had okayed a few things, then we got there and the manager working that day was not okay with what we had already gotten approval of. So if you do choose to use this venue make sure you talk to EVERYONE who works there. Other than that, our wedding looked exactly as I always dreamed it would.

ormal, very warm and welcoming). Staff were helpful from planning through the end of the reception.

ots of preferred vendors). They provide the inside tables and chairs and put them up and take them down. The only issue some might find is that there is a loft, and some guests would feel detached from the lower floor. We had 7 tables on the floor and 5 up top. We put all of our young cousins up there and they had fun together. I recommend going to the physical site for questions. Email is not a trusted way to get a response. They also waited until 2 weeks before our wedding to tell us that the Farm Association was also having their harvest festival, the same day, that did not end until 4. Our ceremony started @ 4:30. Fortunately parking was not an issue. The barn rental and the house are directed by two different entities. If you have a ceremony that takes place earlier in the day I would recommend checking a few months prior, even after you have paid for your rental. They put up yellow cation tape to mark off the property for the festival...luckily our ceremony was far away from it and didn't make it into the photos.

venue to check out. You have to bring in your own food and decorations but they do provide the tables and chairs and full use of the grounds with your rental.

barns around Michigan and were very pleased to find this place. All of my guests commented on the setting and really enjoyed the live animals there. They have chickens, sheep, ducks, geese, etc. The only down side is you only get the space for 10 hours on the day of the event. You can buy more hours if needed at an additional cost.

hs, decorations, food, drinks and anything else you'll need. They also aren't the best at communicating. When calling them make sure you get the answer in writing because they may change thier mind.

ose exactly what we wanted. Its a beautiful site.

barn, and 10 hours of access. We could come to check it out at our leisure (which we did so we could plan decor, etc.), and we loved being able to hire our own caterer. You definitely have to plan more - decor, catering, etc. - but it's worth it to make your wedding really reflect who you are! Only warning: CALL EARLY to reserve. We called in Sept. '09 and were told that every Saturday between April-Oct. '10 was already booked. We ended up doing a Sunday wedding in August...was fantastic!!

very little help and it was so hot in there during our reception (which apparently is our fault, we left the big barn doors open to long and the air conditioner couldn't catch up. But none of the workers there told us to not open the doors)
