ke a dream. The owners Jenn and David and they’re adorable pup Josie treat every person as though they are family entering their home. Jenn and her team have a passion for what they do and it shows in all the details. They are amazing to work with, genuinely kind and loving people that literary go above and beyond to make the day more perfect that you can imagine. I am so grateful to Jenn and her team for everything they did to make my wedding day the best day of my life!!

I cannot say enough positive things about Greencrest Manor. Not only is the venue stunning on its own, the team is incredibly accommodating, caring, and design-oriented — there is truly no better place in Michigan (or arguably, the Midwest are...
a at large) for a beautiful, customized wedding. Unlike typical venues that offer a few standard place setting and decor options with upgrades available, Greencrest is just as inspired as you are and will find whatever it is you're looking for — whether it's gold flatware, matte white Pottery Barn-style plates, or a disco ball and baby's breath ceiling installation (in my case). All floral and decor is done in-house (with the option to add signage), so you basically just have to show up with your dress the day-of. If you're a design-oriented person that wants your wedding to feel unique and beautiful, Greencrest Manor is it. The team cares just as much as you do about making your wedding feel and look stunning. My guests were in awe of this hidden Battle Creek gem! I wouldn't change a thing about our day. Thank you to the owner Jenn for personally running back to our hotel to grab the Groomsmen ties that my now husband forgot 20 minutes before photos started — this is just one example of how above and beyond the entire Greencrest team is!

My husband and I had our wedding at Greencrest Manor this past summer and it was truly a dream. To start, everywhere you look is the most picturesque, instagramable backdrop you will find for a wedding venue. Beautiful gardens, vintage structur...
es, adorable outdoor patio furniture and of course, the gorgeous ivy manor. On the inside of the manor, it is just as beautiful and exactly what any couple would want for the day of their wedding. Every room is perfectly decorated for the perfect getting ready photos and the staircase in the center of the home is truly eye catching. To compliment this beautiful manor is an equally amazing staff. From setting up our getting ready rooms to providing a pack n play for my niece to take a nap before the wedding, Jenn and her team truly do not miss a beat. One of my favorite memories was after our wedding one of the team members sent me a text saying, “I know you didn’t have a videoagrapher but I thought that you might want your vows recorded so I recorded them on my phone”— that is just one of the many examples showing what big hearts this staff has for their clients and it’s something we will cherish forever! If you’re thinking about Greencrest as your wedding venue, you will not be disappointed!

My best friend got married at Greencrest last year and this venue is hands down the most beautiful venue I have ever attended. The driveway alone is picturesque and so inviting. I wouldn't have guessed such a place to be located in Michigan in ...
all honesty. To top off the lavish romantic grounds setting - Jenn and her team are amazing! She made my friend at ease throughout her whole weekend and as a MOH made my job easier haha. I even remember seeing Jenn on a ladder putting up the many strings of lights herself (which I was just wowed) to her and Ali shaking up the many espresso martinis at the end as the nightcap cocktail (yummy). Definitely hands on and cares that their couple's design concepts comes to fruition. Definitely a weekend to remember! Thank you!

epped foot on this property, I immediately knew it was someplace special. I’ve traveled the world extensively for my career and vacations alike, and this property reminds me of something I’ve seen in the countryside of France or Italy. But the beauty of this place does not mean automatic success especially with the complexity and needs of planning a wedding. Fortunately, Greencrest is in great hands. Her beauty is only enhanced by the amazing group of individuals that care for and tend to the guests that enter her gates. I’ve learned over the years that passion and excellence often run hand in hand. Jenn and her staff are truly passionate with what they do, starting from the top and flowing down through every person that works there creating a true venue of excellence.

This is a fabulous venue for a wedding. No others topped this one in our minds for a Michigan weekend wedding. Our daughter and finance lived in New York City when they chose Greencrest for their wedding in October of 2021 and then the pandemi...
c hit. What was going to happen here? Nothing but positive things happened. All communication was safe and done with full attention to detail; meetings for final plans were met with safe thoughts and thorough adventure each time into the nostalgia and specialness of Greencrest Manor itself. There was never a doubt in our minds that a full weekend wedding was not the best choice for our ‘little’ family wedding. Jenn and her staff and Allie, our guide, were so gracious and caring every step of the way. Any questions were answered and all plans were put into play meticulously. Everyone knew what was going on when and what they needed to do on the day of and Friday before. As the mother of the bride, I only needed to give my opinion and it was put into play. If anyone needs a 10 star rating it is Greencrest and their staff and amenities. I have relived this so many times in my dreams since October of 2021 and I am still enamored in the magic of the weekend for all our guests, bridal party, friends and our daughter and her new husband. We love you Greencrest and we will be planning another special event in the future and continue to support your venue whenever we can.

The staff at Greencrest was always so caring and friendly, helping me to navigate the property and getting me a chair to sit down in each spot I went to at the manor. The entire staff seemed like they genuinely cared about each guest that was there (even the grandmas!) Thank you for all that you did to accommodate my needs and for making such a memorable experience for all of us who traveled a long way to celebrate this wonderful day.

We found Greencrest online back in 2019 and immediately reached out. We were greeted with excitement and warmth. But the moment we stepped foot onto the property we were speechless. The photos do not even do this place justice. Our ceremony was...
outside with a European style landscape which is a dream we thought could only happen if we chose a destination wedding. I could go on and on about the breathtaking views, gardens, and locations on the property that were available for us and our guests to enjoy; as the venue speaks for itself when it comes the beauty and romance of a dream wedding venue. However, what makes this place truly special is Jenn, the owner, and her dedicated team. Ali was our coordinator who literally took care of every hiccup, every little thing we needed the weekend of our wedding, including boxing up my bouquet to be sent out in the mail the next day. Their attention to detail during our wedding weekend was paramount (which included a Murder Mystery welcome party on Friday, wedding on Saturday and Sunday brunch). Jenn spent 3 straight days setting up the celebration house just to bring our reception design to life, so I would say they went above and beyond in every single way possible. Jenn and the Greencrest team poured their hearts and souls into making sure my husband and I, our family, and our guests, had the most positive, stress-free, and unforgettable wedding experience. Not once did we feel like we were just "another customer" - we always felt valued, and like family. The connection we had with them made our wedding SO much more memorable. From our initial contact, and design meetings, up to our post wedding brunch, our experience overall was seamless. We got married in October of 2021 and even till this day people are RAVING about our wedding saying it was THE most beautiful wedding and best time they've ever had at a wedding. Investing and trusting the biggest event of our lives, to Jenn and her team, was one of the best decisions we have ever made.

Greencrest post-COVID, but are still devastated not to get to celebrate there again (trying to convince my husband to agree to a 10 year anniversary celebration instead!). The venue is even more beautiful than you see in pictures - you are truly transported to a completely different place when you are at Greencrest. Originally, we planned to do a destination wedding in Europe, and this was the venue that changed our minds and made us get married in Michigan - I cannot give a better review than that! Jenn and her team make you feel like you are a part of their family - I still get teary thinking about how beautiful our intimate ceremony and dinner were, and how cozy it was to have coffee and chat in the gorgeous living room to wind down. Please get married here if you are considering it!

duled due to covid and we were determined to still get married on our original wedding date. We reached out to the Greencrest Team and they took over planning every single thing from florals to caterings and everything in between - we truly just had to show up and they took care of the rest. It's incredibly hard to put into words what that weekend meant to us as we celebrated our wedding in a new way, but honestly we now couldn't have imagined it any other way. Greencrest Manor is a stunning venue that has been curated and intentionally designed by Jenn - from the gorgeous rooms to the incredible grounds; it is truly a remarkable place. What I believe makes it even more special is the feeling you have while you're there and the immeasurable hospitality and warmth that Jenn, Dave, and the whole team has. We immediately felt like we were welcomed into their group and taken care of from the moment we walked through the door and were greeted with champagne - it was the little things they did the make sure we knew they had it. As a wedding planner, that is something that money cannot buy. If I could get married again and again, I would choose Greencrest Manor - not just cause it's gorgeous but because you become a part of their family.

ave been transported back in time to some beautiful estate a duke or heiress would reside in. Our outdoor wedding had one of the most grand backdrops ever with the manor behind us and made our photos look like they were from another world. The estate itself is stunning and incredibly well kept. The size of it all allows you to utilize multiple areas for your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception - providing your guests with an experience to roam they grounds, that could never be duplicated by some expensive hotel with a grand ballroom. The entirety of it provided the most elegant setting for our photos that many of our friends have told us should be submitted to Vogue. If you think you like this style of venue for your wedding I STRONGLY recommend it. Janet Marcus is the proprietor of the estate and we could not have been happier to have her. She is meticulous with details and wants everything to perfect - not for you, but for her! You can tell that while she cares about getting everything right for you, she cares just as much about everything looking and feeling perfect. Takes the worry out of a LOT of the details. She is incredibly accommodating and her staff makes sure everything goes off without a hitch. I cannot thank Janet enough for her professionalism and attention to detail. You helped make this special day perfect.
