Greystone Weddings

my vision unfolded. Bob and Joanne were great to work with they attended to all of our needs and requests and were there anytime we texted or called. Set up was beautiful and I assigned a couple family members to set up a few of my do it yourself decorations which worked just fine. When the ceremony came everything ran smoother than I could have imagined, and the garden is one of the most beautiful places to not only get married in but take pictures in. Alcohol was the only thing we needed to bring ourselves which was exactly what we wanted because we didn't want our guests to have to pay and we didn't want to have to think about the bill for the end of the night. Rehearsal went so fast and Joanne worked with ME the bride and made sure the entrance was the way I had planned and i never once felt turned against my vision. Zeth and I could not have imagined a better day or place, our pictures were about ten minuets from the venue which we were shuttled from Greystone provided y Greystone to Crystal lake in Beulah which was romantic and then came back and finished photos in the garden, my photographer barely photo shopped any of the pictures we took. The DJ, bartenders and Staff were also Excellent they obviously know what they are doing, Very friendly and welcoming! Thank you so much for taking care of Zeth and I and our guests It was absolutely THE BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES HIGHLY recommended

Would have appreciated more time ahead of ceremony. Otherwise, planning, rehearsal, and the wedding was a breeze!! Greystone definitely helped create my "perfect" wedding!

please us! Their communication with us was fantastic too! I never felt ignored and they did everything to please us! Pick them for your next event!!

c going and the bartender had everyone feeling great. Planning was smooth and straight forward and their food was amazing. Most importantly the woman for the ceremony cared deeply about us Bride and Groom. They were fun and inviting. I loved every minute of my evening. We had one guest issue but it was handled without me really evening knowing much about it. This was the best decision we had about coming to Greystone. Used the Honor location, outside ceremony, and had 90-100 guests. We had an amazing event i WOULD recommend them to someone else. I duo have vendors I will NOT recommend but Greystone did a great job and will ABSOLUTELY be RECOMMEND!

!

hat as a back up plan because it rained and rained. Thanks greystone!

to our own personal reasons. Greystone is so highly recommend! I'm hoping to attend more wedding there in the future.

dding all in one place meant more time for us to party and celebrate with our guests. Everyone from the bartender to the event planner was fantastic to work with. Thank you for truly making our wedding the best day of our lives!

wedding with them. Their all inclusive wedding packages made planning so easy and took a lot of the stress away! We would definitely recommend booking your wedding through Greystone because it was an exceptional experience and we will remember it for the rest of our lives!

. My husband and I would highly recommend Greystone to anyone. We thank every member of Greystone Mansion that helped to make our big day so special!

llroom and garden were beautiful, and everything ran very smoothly. I was very happy with the experience. The only thing that I did not like was that they pushed the Sandals vacations a bit hard, but this is a fantastic choice for my wedding.

eally nice! The staff was amazing! They did everything to ensure our day was perfect! Greystone provided all the food and the bartender and the DJ. Who were all super great!! I could go on and on but, in short I highly recommend this wedding venue to anyone looking for a budget friendly beautiful awesome venue!! We couldn't be happier and wouldn't have changed a thing!

rovided a seamless back-up plan.I cannot say enough about what this venue provides . . . a beautiful setting both inside and out, a spacious bridal room, a children's room that was well utilized during our reception, a delicious and plentiful food buffet at a better price per plate than I found elsewhere in our area,all china, linens and table centerpieces,a certified bartender, a very talented and responsive DJ, a low-key but very effective security person, bar snacks and several mixers and non-alcoholic beverage options, set up and clean up, including packaging all the leftover food and cake for us to take home (yummy!) and incredibly attentive and responsive service by all staff members.The only additional services we engaged was a florist, a baker for the wedding cake,a photographer and videographer. Greystone even helped us find an officiant! As a result, we were able to enjoy our special day and our guests without worrying about every detail.They even cut and plated the cake for us! I highly recommend Greystone -- a high quality, high value venue for your ceremony and reception that takes a lot of the work and worry out of planning your big event! Thank you Bob and the whole team at Greystone! If I had any more daughters, they would be getting married at Greystone!

he roast beef and chicken piccata for our entrees and would recommend both. The DJ was just okay in my opinion...he was very kind but I was disappointed that he didn't have more guests out on the dance floor. The day of the wedding didn't go as smoothly as we had hoped. I felt like my husband and I were gathering guests to come inside for first dances, I had to go outside myself to find guests standing in the dark before I realized no staff member had turned on the outside light for them. I just felt like the coordination could have gone smoother. We also had a few complaints such as the wrong song being played when we were announced as husband and wife and the bartenders serving shots when we requested no shots at our reception. Also, it was very uncomfortably hot in the venue. Overall minus those few things we were pleased with the venue and had a great wedding.

utiful the way it is :) the staff was very friendly and they made sure our day was complete. The food was amazing..chef Bob did a wonderful job! Overall I highly recommend this place if you want a worry free wedding. Let the experts make your dream wedding come true!

, cake lady, and photo booth were directed by my wedding coordinator (Kay) who took care of everything while I was getting ready in the bridal suite. The food was delicious! Everybody was telling me it was the best meal they had ever had at a wedding. The venue even allowed us to bring in our own alcohol which saved us a ton of money! After looking at most venues in western and northern Michigan I can tell you that Greystone Mansion has the best package for your money. They include catering, DJ service, a Ceremony venue, Reception venue, and their own center pieces. Extra decorations and a shuttle service for your guests can be added for a little extra, which I am glad I took advantage of because my guests were able to drink and get a safe ride back to their hotels (including me and my husband who were the last to leave). I didn't have to worry about renting china, or table clothes, or white chairs for the ceremony because it was all included and set up for me. We got to take home the extra food and alcohol and didn't have to worry about cleaning up afterward. Bob, Jo, and Kay really have the experience and knowledge to help you plan your dream wedding. Bob answered every question I had, had suggestions about the best vendors, and he also helped us plan our honeymoon to an all inclusive Sandals resort. I am more then satisfied with my wedding, it was the best day of my life and the staff at Greystone made it so easy. People always warned me to "just elope" and "weddings are a nightmare to plan", but my wedding was not like that, it was beautiful, stress free, and I'll always remember it as the best day of my life. The only thing I had to stress about was whether or not it was going to rain. It didn't, but even if it had the venue has it's own indoor chapel as a back up plan. They really have thought of everything! I 100% recommend them to anyone who is looking for a venue in west Michigan, they will help you stay within your budget and make your wedding day beautiful and just the way you want it.

lly was considering Greystone, some of the biggest selling points were the convenience of an inclusive package & how flexible & easy Bob was to work with. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Bob's willingness to work with us decreased. During our meeting 3 weeks prior, he was strongly encouraging us to organize the room & include elements with which I was not comfortable (e.g., a fog machine use on the dance floor & placing the band in the corner with tables between them & the dance floor). The day was beautiful from my perspective & the on-site coordinator was extremely accommodating for me; however, after the fact I learned that both Bob & the on-site coordinator were quite rude to multiple family members & friends who were assisting with setup. Finally, the DJ, John, was terrible. We had hired a band, & thank goodness! For the first several seconds of the Daddy-Daughter dance, the TV screens sat at a menu while the song played instead of beginning the carefully constructed photo slideshow, he did not play the songs we asked, & one song was clearly played from youtube as there was a commercial that played prior to the song beginning. I think this is completely unacceptable from a venue wanting to be the best in Northern Michigan. Overall, I think that these issues were not apparent to almost everyone there; however, it was extremely disappointing to hear negative feedback from those close to me.

ordered was nad. Also they package the left over food so you can bring it home! They really went out of their way to make sure your day is perfect. The dj was awesome too! Wish I could remember his name because he did such an awesome job keeping dacing going all night long! We got married outside and the service was beautiful. The venue is beautiful inside and out. If your thinking of booking a wedding you NEED to just book greystone. You won't be disappointed :)

ordinated table cloths for the Table sets, Decorations including candles and table centerpieces, and Inside and Outside ceremony site, Ballroom, Bartender, DJ service (which was also perfect!) and the owners are easy to contact and easy to talk to about planning your wedding, via Email, Phone and Text. Everything was included in an easy package! All we had to provide ourselves was the minister, cake and photographer. Beautiful outdoor fountains and landscaping for photos, a bridal suite for pre-ceremony and reception use, and a room for children to play with toys. We had around 90 guests and it was very comfortable, it was not crowded at all. There are several near by hotel/motels/cabins/campgrounds for out of town guests. I highly recommend this venue/catering/DJ and ceremony site for your wedding and reception! Great value compared to other locations in the Traverse City area/Northern Michigan.

h email. It was very easy and not stressful at all. It is absolutely beautiful inside and if you choose to get married in the garden (which we did) you shouldn't even have to buy any extra decorations or flowers. They included much more than other halls, the DJ was included as well as most of the decorations. Kay the wedding coordinator was amazing! She went above and beyond for us. I didn't have much to add to the reception and she added everything she could think of, from lights behind our head table to adding to the center pieces, and even getting us cupcake stands for our cupcakes (we had cupcakes instead of a cake). She made the entire day run so smoothly. The other help was very nice as well. We actually didn't even try the food before the wedding either but luckily it was so good everyone loved it. All weddings can get expensive though and if you choose to add the other things they offer the price can add up. We only paid for 100 guests and I was very careful and didn't add very much extra stuff. Alcohol also isn't included. They also had some rules that I wasn't expecting like no bubbles or confetti or rice to shower the bride and groom with after the wedding, not a big deal but just fyi. We also had a candy table and after we had already bought the candy for it found out we couldn't have gum. Just be sure to check and see what they don't allow, I don't think its much just stuff that might make a mess.But overall it was an amazing day I have no complaints it couldn't have been better. I would absolutely recommend this hall to other brides!

caping is gorgeous! They even have an indoor chapel in case of bad weather, they've thought of EVERYTHING! Our reception was awesome, Bob and Jo kept on top of everything and made sure at all times we were enjoying our day. The food was ridiculously good and the service by their employees was exceptional. I cannot say enough good things about this venue and the owners. You will not go wrong having your wedding here, they have it all!!

cloths with lavender sashes, candles floating in tall cylinders of water, candelabras on the head table with garlands of pretty lights are just a few of the beautiful decorations to make that night one she will never forget! The food was delicious and the guests were raving over it. We enjoyed several appetizers while the wedding party were out taking pictures and especially liked the stuffed florentine mushroom caps, excellent! The mac and cheese is creamy and delicious, a must order, as were the stuffed shells and cherry glazed carrots, cherry bbq chicken and well everything we ordered was delicious! It was all served on beautiful china, extra nice! A wonderful perk is that Bob packages up all the leftovers for you and we were able to enjoy a post-wedding supper with the bride and groom and some of their wedding party that were still in town. We all had a wonderful relaxed dinner and could enjoy the wedding supper all over again, a special treat for the bride and groom who were too excited and therefore barely ate at the wedding. We are so blessed to have such a beautiful and affordable venue for an event that lasts a lifetime in our memories. The venue is high style and budget friendly. Bob generously allows you to bring your own alcohol, but provides full bar service to pamper your guests. When I looked up other sites they charged $70.00 just for one bottle of champagne! With the ability to bring our own, we had lots of fun wine tasting on the peninsula and then bought our unanimous favorite sparkling wine, Brix, from Bowers Harbor Vineyard for the toast. We went the extra for glass flutes, as a special toast is just not right in plastic! The layout of the room, the service, the beauty of the venue, was all so perfect it was our first stop and our last. We never had to look further and we are not sorry we didn't. Our only regret is that it rained and we could not utilize the beautiful garden for the ceremony. But Bob and Kay were quick with the backup chapel and it was lovely. Thankfully the sun was out later for pictures in the garden. It was a turnkey wedding that gave us a relaxing evening and the guests could enjoy the party without concern about driving home as we enlisted the services of the shuttle to see them safely to the hotel. Many thanks to the shuttle driver, the wedding party said he was so nice!! Kingsley Cakes made a beautiful, delicious cake and Ron Getz played amazing guitar. The Blossom Shop, always our favorite florist, did not disappoint us; the flowers were beautiful. And our photographer, Cindy K Hughes, knows the area well, is great fun to work with, and her engagement photo shoot was so nice that I can't wait for the photos! I highly recommend them all for your own event needs. Yes, it was a fairy tale wedding! Thank you all it could not have been more wonderful!

y great with communication with us and accommodations as we traveled to make Greystone our place of choice. The staff was more than perfect and helped us with our every need. Everyone was full of smiles and joy. The food was spectacular as well. Very very very great. We got chicken piccata as one of our entrees and it was perfect. Kay was out coordinator and we were so thankful for her. She was there for everything. The DJ was also incredible! He was able to read our guest perfectly. Everyone was dancing all night. If I could get married like that all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. It was so perfect. We would absolutely recommend this beautiful venue for any special occasion.

When we showed up for the rehearsal the day before the wedding the venue was set up for us. It was beautiful, all the flowers and bushes were full and green. The inside was magnificent, everything looked so sharp and picturesque. The wedding day was just as good, we didn't hear one complaint beside our ceremony took to long due to people speaking during the wedding. BUT that all worked out because people were ready to drink and party by the time it was over. All in all, we had a blast, and so did our guests. Bob and Jo will take great care of you and make you feel like part of the family when its all said and done. They definitely have this down to a "T" and I would recommend booking your venue here in a heart beat, you will NOT be disappointed. THANK YOU SO MUCH BOB AND JO!! Sara and I love you two.

s you would expect it to be especially since they've been doing it for so long. We just didn't see it as worth the price.

ouple years. I would recommend Greystone to anyone!! Bob, Jo, and Kay were great to work with! I didn't feel like our wedding was just another wedding there. They really wanted our night to be perfect. Again, I would, and will, recommend them!

DJ came with the venue which wasn't my prefered arrangement, however he ended up being AMAZING!!! Overall I would recommend this place to anyone. 10/10.

outdoor for our ceremony, and the courtyard outside was beautiful for pictures. A little hard to find it on Honor Hwy., but aside from that, it was great.

c and cheese!!!! The DJ had the floor full all night for every music preference and era of guests. A+ all the way and Thank you SO much!!!!

extras in the package, and are happy to answer any questions. The value is incredible with pretty much everything included (which again, planning from out of state was a blessing!) Their entire staff is friendly and helpful. LOVED the private bridal suite! Our wedding ran perfectly (thanks to our day of coordinator - included!), was everything we hoped for, and our guests had a wonderful time. We got tons of compliments on the food and the DJ. The attention to specific things we asked for was impeccable and the location is so beautiful! The gardens are amazing, and it is a short shuttle ride (which you can add on for a very reasonable price) to the beach (gorgeous beach pictures!). We also loved that we could bring our own alcohol (used Honor Family Market and highly recommend). This allowed us to have a Michigan themed bar featuring all Michigan beers and wines. Plus, this made the bar cost much cheaper and we got to keep left overs! I also loved that we were the only wedding going on. It felt so personal and so special. We could not have been happier with any aspect of the wedding on their end. Thank you to everyone at Greystone Mansion, we would do it all over again!

I tend to be a pretty harsh critic as I am a chef and critiquing food is part of my job.

DJ we had an amazing night!!

the food exceptional! I highly recommend Greystone Mansion - the inside and garden area are exquisite! Our guests were also very impressed!

ordable and Greystone was able to offer all that for us. We can not say anything but fabulous things from the owner Jo and Bob, to the wonderful wedding planner Kay. At anytime I would call in the past year they were there to answer my calls to help out with planning. If you are looking for a worry free wedding that will be affordable yet elegant this is the place to go. The amenities they offer from the shuttle service to the fabulous catering, there is NOTHING bad we can say about this place. Thanks again for everything Greystone you guys were a breeze to work with and I would definitely suggest any couple looking for an upnorth wedding to you guys!

military! He & his team of professionals worked with us, despite the distance we are from our home state. We couldn't have asked for anything more! Kay was a terrific wedding planner & was good at calming any jitters you had; even at 11 pm! I highly recommend this venue for weddings/receptions.

s. In addition, the staff was friendly and very attentive. I cannot say enough about Greystone Mansion, everyone should consider it for a wonderful wedding day come true!

y daughters wedding so wonderful. I highly recommend Greystone mansion to anyone wanting a stress free wedding

the day easy and perfect! I would recommend this venue to everyone! The food was amazing and the set-up was gorgeous!

one who wants a stress free beautiful wedding. :) Thanks again Bob, Jo, Heather, and staff!!

spot was beautiful for pictures! I loved having my wedding here and would recommend it to anyone...also the shuttle was a convient service that they offered :)

ood value. I highly recommend this venue.

d so many compliments on the food. The food was just exceptional. I can not say enough about Greystone, everything was just fantastic. I wouldn't recomend any other venue in the area! Thank you Greystone for making our day so special for us and our friends and family!

had so many complements on our whole wedding weekend. It was amazing. I suggest that you skip the Best western hotel though and go straight to Harbor Lights Resort - it's not that much further and it's BEAUTIFUL! The Best Western messed up our reservations throughout the whole planning process and the manager could've cared less. Harbor Lights and Greystone make for a wonderful wedding weekend. Thank you Bob and Jo for all the wonderful memories I'm so happy we found you!!!

r them, one of the boys was not given the pillow with the actual ring on it, the other boy had to carry both pillows. My questbook wasn't put out for quests to sign (and at the reception site that was owned by the same people a friend had to find the book and take it around). I was told I had until a certain time to be in the bridal room and when I came back out of the ceremony the owner was throwing our belongings into bags and boxes and throwing them into a hallway. As a result I am missing 7 pairs of earings, a diamond charm and a family heirloom silver necklace.

the weather is bad). There is a wedding coordinator included in the price, which is very helpful on the day of your wedding. The indoor ballroom is already pre-decorated and even centerpieces are included! Any extra decor that you want is set up and taken down by the staff. The DJ is included also and they did an awesome job. Greystone also does the catering. It's $20 per person for buffet style meal. The food was fantastic! Everything about Greystone was great. Check out their website!
