Greystone made our wedding day perfect. We could not have asked for better staff to help us out on one of the most important event in our lives. The staff was so kind and communicated so well. They made sure we were doing things how we wanted things done and never questioned it even if it seemed crazy. The food was amazing and dj kaleb did a fantastic job! Jo and Emily were rockstars during the whole night and we were so grateful that they were the ones who helped us the entire day!
Bob was so helpful to us in planning our honeymoon to Sandals South Coast and Royal Caribbean in Jamaica. We were new to international travel and he made the process fool proof for us and helped out every step of the way. He worked within our budget and was incredibly knowledgeable about the resorts and travel process. Truly above and beyond! We are so grateful for our amazing trip and made memories that will last a lifetime! Thank you from the McKeons ❤️
First let me say it's been a trying year for many trying to get married, after canceling 2 times last yr we were so looking forward to getting married in 2021, we chose greystone weddings almost 2 yrs ago and they worked with us through the whole covid cancelation and date moving, so on April 24,2021 we had our beautiful wedding at their exceptional venue, everything was perfect ( had to follow health dept rules) started with an outdoor wedding in their garden area, followed by pictures, then our guest were led to the tents they had set up outside until it was time for dinner, we chose to have chicken marsala, beef with gravy, butter parsley potatoes, greenbeen casserole and Mac and cheese, every thing was soooo good, the mac and cheese was a big hit and the chicken and beef were tender, Bob and his wife Jo were so attentive and helpful with our special day, the bartenders and waitstaff were respectful and the shuttle driver made sure our guests got back to their hotels at the end of the night, while we weren't allowed to do some of the traditional things that you can have at a wedding ( covid restrictions) it was al in all a great night, we highly recommend checking them out
Jo, Bob, and the rest of the staff were great to work with. They were responsive to any questions I had in regards to the happenings during the COVID time. They made us feel at ease and every guest was checked and paperwork filled out prior to being admitted into the wedding. The food was delicious and the venue was beautiful. The outdoor garden was the perfect setting for this special day. Jo was a great day of coordinator and took care of everything. Every guest I spoke with said nothing but positive things about the venue and food. We highly recommend them for your next event in Northern Michigan.
The staff at Greystone made our reception beautiful and helped everything move smoothly! So thankful that the wedding date we wanted happened to be available just three months before the date! Kay the wedding coordinator was very sweet and is wonderful at her job! Food was tasty but mac n cheese was the biggest hit! Thank you to everyone at Greystone!
This venue is amazing. The staff and owners made sure our night was perfect! Everyone made everything so easy and stress free. We highly recommend Greystone!
So happy with this venue! Very pleased with the 'package'! Beautiful location-garden and chapel inside. Food was fabulous and quite the selection. The wedding coordinator-Kay, and the DJ-Ray were so helpful with keeping the event going smoothly. The Magic mirror was a great success. All we needed to provide: cake (Sam's Club), alcohol, officiant, photographer, and flowers. Worth every penny! Thank you!
Note: we had only a reception at GreyStone. Our wedding ceremony was in a different location and this review is for the reception services. Bob and Joanne were very friendly and easy to work with. They had a great "prep" packet to guide you through the wedding process, including all of the reception foods, table settings, bar setup, and dj. GreyStone has a perfect table arrangement, large dance floor, and even a side room where kids can play! Bonus for the guests, large, clean bathrooms. The brides ready room is convenient too.
On the day of the wedding, Kay, our wedding coordinator, was very helpful and kind. She did well in managing everything. The food was "5 star." Everything was delicious and Many went back for more. Tony, our DJ for the night, did well to keep the dance floor full. He played music from our "must play" list, avoided all of our "do not play" list, and took all requests as well.
We couldn't be happier. Our families agreed that it was the best wedding reception they had been to.
It was absolutely perfect! Staff was very nice and accommodating. They made the stress of our wedding day so much easier.
Everything was great! Great staff, great food, great venue!
My wife and I photographed a wedding this past summer at Greystone, from the venue to the staff, it was amazing. They truly take pride in what they do, and helping make the newlyweds day perfect. If you are looking for a venue, we highly recommend you check them out and all they have to offer.
Our wedding at Greystone Mansion was everything we could have hoped for and more. From the very beginning stages of planning, this venue stood out from the rest. From the moment we met the owners and took a tour, we were hooked on this location, and it did not disappoint. Through the planning process, catering choices, decor and layout options, organizations, fine tuning, rehearsal, wedding day and aftermath, we received so much help and professionalism from the staff. They have us options that worked with the themes we wanted and everything turned out amazing. Having them take care of so much of the planning and coordinating took so much stress out and allowed us to enjoy our special day and look back on it with no regrets and a myriad of wonderful memories. I would highly recommend a Greystone Wedding experience for anyone looking for a spectacular wedding experience.
Had our weddin at Greystone and it was spectacular! Going to a wedding in November at Visions and I can’t wait because I know it will be amazing! Great food, great staff and suburb attention to detail. LOVE!
Our wedding day was absolutely perfect in every way, thanks in part to Greystone! Everything went so smoothly from start to finish- first initial planning day, to the BIG day! Bob was awesome, and the food was amazing. Jo did such a fantastic job being our wedding coordinator on the day of. It felt like an additional mom to have around for the day. And both genuinely cared, and wanted you to have a fantastic day. And Ray was our DJ for the night- and he truly did such an amazing job keeping the party going. He also took the time to call to touch base, get the list of songs for the ceremony, and reassured that if there was anything at all that my Husband or I needed, to give him a call. I would highly recommend Greystone Weddings to anyone. You definitely will not regret your choice.
We had our wedding last night at greystone and it was amazing. Bob and jo helped organize everything perfectly. The bartender was great same with the DJ. Everything was executed flawlessly and wouldn't change a thing. Thank you guys so much for making our day perfect I cannot reccomend you guys enough.
Honestly, I had the wedding of my dreams! Everything went smoothly and Bob made us feel like we were his priority. The food was amazing, the venue is beautiful, the garden was so nice and made for great pictures, and the service was top notch. The DJ was my husbands favorite part, he played all of the music that was requested, we had Tony for our DJ. I liked that everything was included in the venue, especially since we did not live near by and we are very busy people. The only downside was we did not receive an invitation to the open house, but that may have been our error for not staying in touch. I would certainly recommend Greystone Weddings!! We also booked our honeymoon through Bob, which made things much easier and stress free.
My husband and I couldn’t have been happier with Greystone!! The people, food and decorations were amazing. Everyone there made our wedding reception beautiful and stress free. They thought of everything from the decorations on the table to the shuttles at the end of the night. It was perfect!!
Beautiful venue and garden!
Kevin and I are so incredibly blessed to have had our wedding at the Greystone. It is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. I knew it would be the perfect place for us to get married the minute we walked in, and I was so right. There are so many great things I can say about it. Not only the beauty of the place but that staff was incredible. They are not just trying to get you to have their wedding there. They truly care about you and want your day to be the best day ever. Ours was the best day ever and it was all thanks to them! From the owner, to the cooks, the wedding coordinator, the bartenders, and the DJ! They all knew exactly what you wanted and they make it happen in every way! We wouldn't have changed one thing about our wedding day thanks to the Greystone!
Where can one really begin?! As a first time bride I was rather unfamiliar with all that goes into planning such an extravagant and special night! Choosing Greystone Mansion as our venue was easily one of the best decisions we made! Our night really couldn't have been any more perfect. From start to finish we were taken care of by owners, Bob and Jo and their wonderful staff. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was perfectly timed with elegant dinner music to more lively music with awesome dance lights as the night progressed! There were many options available for decor and meal choices and everyone was easily able to be flexible when needed! It couldn't have been better!
Absolutely amazing place for a wedding! Bob, Jo and Kay are so helpful and knowledgeable and the FOOD!!! I would recommend to anyone looking for a wedding venue!
Greystone is incredible! We chose this venue because we loved the property and when we met the owners we instantly knew it was right for us! Even though they are a really busy wedding venue, they still made sure to make time for us when we had questions or needed something out of the blue. They were very professional, and very easy to work with! We got married almost 2 months ago and our guests are still talking about the food! (Try the creamed cauliflower even if it sounds weird) everything ran as smoothly as a wedding could! They worked very well with our outside vendors and we have nothing but good things to say about this venue and it’s owners! If we were to do it all over again, we would choose the same venue! Thanks Again for everything!
I am the mother of the bride. My daughter and son in law got married on 10/7/17.
Greystone was the perfect venue for a wedding. They took care of EVERYTHING! Planning was simple and fun.
I recommend Greystone for anyone getting married in the future. Definitely a 10 out of 10!!
Overall I would give Greystone 110%. I would advise anyone getting married to check out this venue and book it! Our guests all raved about how beautiful it was, how amazing the food was, and how fun the DJ and bartenders were. I was beyond impressed. Our day could not have been any more beautiful and perfect.
From booking the venue all the way to the day of, Bob and Jo were more than accommodating and absolutely wonderful to work with. They were truly excited for us, and you can tell that they love what they do.
I cannot rave about this place enough!! Jo, Bob and the entire staff were amazing!! They did a phenomenal job!! The entire process from the moment we met them to the actual reception was so smooth and easy. They were always there to answer any questions that we had and constantly made us feel like a priority. The reception itself was absolutely stunning!! Jo even went the extra mile and made us a gorgeous candy display using our wedding colors. Everything was absolutely perfect!! I highly recommend them. If you want an absolutely dazzling, elegant and memorable wedding that people will be talking about for years to come then this is the venue for you!!
Greystone Mansion was the best decision we could have made when deciding where to book our wedding. The fact that they have it all is stress free and convenient for a bride who is doing everything else. I got to kind of sit back and relax while 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
Great venue! My husband and I were both very pleased. Bob and K were easy and fun to work with. They were accommodating and flexible during planning and prepping. The 2pm arrival to venue on day of our 4:30pm wedding was the only inconvenience. Would have appreciated more time ahead of ceremony. Otherwise, planning, rehearsal, and the wedding was a breeze!! Greystone definitely helped create my "perfect" wedding!
I highly recommend this venue! We just got married July 29, 2017 and they took care of everything! Our reception was so beautiful in the garden and dinner was fantastic! They did the order of events in perfect order and went above and beyond to 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!!
I don't even know where to start... We had an amazing wedding. Bob, Jo, and Kay did an amaxing job with our wedding.they worked within our budget. They were upfront with costs and didn't hit us with any extra fees or drama. Our Dj kept the music 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!
Greystone was absolutely wonderful to work with. They took care of everything and allowed us to enjoy our day. We received many compliments on the food and the venue. I would highly recommend booking with Greystone. You will not be disappointed!
Great wedding! The food was very good. It was very beautifully set up and my family had a blast! The only thing that Bob and his wife didn't do was stop the rain. They have a chapel type setting in doors in case of rain. Good thing we had that as a back up plan because it rained and rained. Thanks greystone!
We attended a wedding here a couple years ago and new it was the perfect place to have our wedding after we got engaged. It's absolutely beautiful and Bob the owner is amazing at working with you. Sadly we had to cancel our booking with him due to our own personal reasons. Greystone is so highly recommend! I'm hoping to attend more wedding there in the future.
We had the most amazing wedding ever thanks to the attentive staff at Greystone Mansion! They did everything to make our day perfect and that we had nothing to worry about. The venue is beautiful, both the garden and the ballroom. Having the wedding 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!
Our experience with Greystone was absolutely perfect! The staff was so professional and friendly, they made sure everything was amazing for our special day! Every expectation we had was blown away and we couldn't have been happier to spend our 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!
Greystone exceeded our expectations! Everything went so smoothly and a huge stress level was lifted because of how efficient every staff member was. All we heard from our guest all night was how great the food was and how gorgeous the venue was. 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!
Greystone Mansion was a fantastic value for the price. Everyone there really knew their stuff, and the all inclusive package made it so that I did not have to worry about nearly as many things on my wedding day. The food was delicious, the ballroom 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.
We just had our wedding two days ago on Sept 12, 2015 at Greystone Mansion. I can't say enough how PERFECT everything was!! We had our ceremony outside in their beautiful garden. (There's also an indoor chapel in case of bad weather) which is really 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!
My daughter was married Sept. 12, 2015 in a ceremony in the gardens at Greystone, and the reception was also held onsite in the Greystone ballroom. The gardens are beautiful, but if it had rained, there is also a chapel onsite that would have provided 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!
I will start off by saying the planning process with Bob & Jo was very easy and stress free. They did a good job at communicating with us and responded quickly to our many questions. The venue was decorated beautifully for our wedding. We had the 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.
We had our wedding in August at Greystone. It was a beautiful place. We had our wedding ceremony there as well outside in their garden. The garden is decorated with lots of flowers so there is no need for decor unless you want to but it is beautiful 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!
My husband and I had our wedding in the garden at Greystone Mansion in Honor Michigan on August 8th, 2015. Everything went perfect, and the best part was I didn't have to worry about anything. All my vendors including the florist, photographer, 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.
First of all, my wedding was beautiful, & Greystone is a gorgeous venue. Food was delicious & fun was had by all. The convenience of having the venue do the catering, DC, & many reception details was perfect. With that being said, when I initially 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.
We planned a wedding out of state and They made it so easy! It's great that it's an All inclusive wedding package. We only had to worry about the cake and photographer. The food was to die for! You have to get the mac n cheese! Nothing that we 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 :)
Our wedding was in late October, and was absolutely wonderful! The Greystone Mansion provides top quality services such as wedding rehearsal/day coordinators, Catering (with amazing selection of foods for the buffet), Glass, China, and Color coordinated 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.
If you want an uncomplicated wedding from start to finish this is the place! I live down state and Bob the owner made it so easy to do everything. I went in one time to look at everything then handled the rest with him over the phone and through 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!
We couldn't be happier and very glad to have chosen them!
Wow, what can I say! Bob and jo made our wedding day absolutely perfect. The atmosphere of this venue is very romantic and classy. Jo had everything planned and executed without a single issue. The ceremony was outside and the gardens and landscaping 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!!
One of the most beautiful places in the area for a wedding. We have been to many weddings. Greystone Mansion is elegant. The food was amazing.
Our daughter dreamed of a fairy tale wedding, but even if she hadn't, when we walked in that room it seemed like it was a dream, it was that beautiful!
The setting is so elegant and Greystone makes the room come alive with detail. White table 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!
I enjoyed the convince of not having to do anything myself and the pampering attitudes of the staff!
Greystone's beautiful garden was the first thing that caught our eyes. Everything was so beautiful outside from the fountain to the flowers. The inside of Greystone was spectacular. It was very clean and tidy. Owners, Bob and Jo were very 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.
We had our wedding at the Greystone Mansion in early August. From the beginning Bob and Jo were such great helps. Bob helped us book our honeymoon and literally spent hours on the phone with me to find the perfect location with the best deal.
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.
Greystone Mansion was wonderful.
We had a lot of people tell us how amazing greystone was especially the food. It was a nice venue and well taken care of. The food left us high and dry though. It wasn't very hot and we were the first ones served! Also it just wasn't as great as 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.
Greystone Mansion was perfect. We received many compliments throughout the evening at how beautiful the venue was and what great service they provided. A few of the engaged couples were eyeing the venue up for their weddings within the next couple 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!
They had a HUGE food selection to choose from. We attend the open houses to help decide which dishes to pick. THe staff was awesome and friendly, the owner was SUPER helpful in helping us via suggestions or examples from previous weddings. The 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.
This place was awesome for the small ceremony that we wanted to have. We only used the chapel, but it more than exceeded our expectations. Bob (the owner) made sure that we were well taken care of. I enjoyed that we had the option of indoor or 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.
Bob and Jo went over the top for my husband and my wedding reception at their Honor reception hall. They accommodated us in every way possible and made every detail come to life :) The food was fan freaking tastic and we highly recommend the Mac 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!!!!
Everything for our wedding was perfect! Bob and Jo are so helpful and flexible with planning. We planned it from out of state (dealing with a three hour time difference) and they made it a breeze! They cover everything, lay out all pricing and 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 can not say enough good things about Greystone Mansion. They made our wedding a truly memorable and nearly flawless experience. The only thing that I have to say that is remotely negative, is that the food could have been better. Although, I tend to be a pretty harsh critic as I am a chef and critiquing food is part of my job.
