e, and is very beautiful! Our coordinator Danielle was so amazing. Throughout the entire wedding process she was super helpful and answered all of our questions, and the day of she met me at the car in the morning, grabbed my dress to steam it, and handed me a glass of champagne! The entire day of our wedding, we felt so taken care of by our venue which was so nice. I can't recommend Ivy House enough!

I was an out-of-state bride, and the entire process with Ivy House was seamless from start to finish. My day-of coordinator, Tiffany Timmer, was exceptional. She not only made plan...
ning exciting, but also made me feel completely comfortable and confident throughout. She took all of my ideas and executed them perfectly.
Every vendor I selected through Ivy House exceeded my expectations. The quality, organization, and attention to detail were outstanding.
If you’re an out-of-state bride looking for a venue with modern/fancy barn vibes, Ivy House is the place. The Saugatuck area is also perfect for guests, with plenty to do and a great overall atmosphere.

m beyond happy I did. Biggest piece of advice, get a day of coordinator! Tiffany was ours and she was a life savor!! I am an over thinker for sure and she kept me calm throughout the whole process. The venue is absolutely beautiful and a blank slate to fit any type of vibe you want. The owners are also very sweet and always quick to answer questions. :) Thank you to the whole staff for making my wedding day absolutely perfect.

e with emails, check-ins, and direction with timeline details. Even though the power went out in the entire area that day (and 40 minutes before we were supposed to walk down the aisle) the entire Ivy House team had me feeling so calm. They were able to bring in generators and react quickly to the outage which I appreciated! The power even went back on in the middle of our first dance which makes for a great story. :) After we said “I do”, Chloe was as the end of the aisle with waters and to keep us on schedule. She checked in on us throughout the night, made sure we had the drinks we wanted, helped bustle my dress, AND drove out to get us pizza’s as a last minute late night snack since we ran through what we had purchased very quickly. I could go on and on about how impressed I was with Ivy House and their teams attentiveness. If you are looking for a venue with they whole package, this is your venue! 🩵

greenhouse was stunning, cocktail hour outdoors was the perfect transition, and the indoor reception space brought everything together perfectly.
Our guests especially loved the outdoor seating area where they could hang out, enjoy their ice cream, and keep mingling under the covered porch with fans. It was perfect for the warmer summer months!
A huge shoutout to our coordinator, Chloe, who was an incredible help throughout the entire planning process. From monthly check-ins to the day-of coordination, she made everything so easy and stress-free. We truly couldn’t have done it without her.
We highly recommend Ivy House to any couple looking for a beautiful, easygoing, and well-run venue.

I would recommend Ivy House to anyone! It’s such a beautiful venue and even better in person compared to pictures. We had a dreamy winter wedding in February and all of our guests ...
can’t stop raving about how beautiful everything was. I would highly, highly recommend using their coordinator package. Nature helped reduce stress during the planning process and she took care of everything on the day of. The venue and coordinators have thought of absolutely everything and know how to keep the day running so smoothly. The Hawthorne Suite is a perfect getting ready space for the girls with gorgeous lighting for pictures and plenty of room for hair and makeup. The greenhouse provided a breathtaking backdrop for our ceremony and the reception space is open and can be customized how you want it for your guest count. Using Charm House Decor made our life so much easier as well - there were minimal decorations we had to bring in on our big day. I can talk about the positive things about this venue all day! You will not regret getting married at such an amazing venue!

n weather). I was so happy to find a space where I could have a “outdoor” ceremony, but I didn’t have to worry about the weather ruining It. The reception space is large and spacious. It’s crispy and clean, making It a great blank slate whatever you want It to be. I love to tell my guests about the bar and how they have Michigan made champagne on tap. The team members we have worked with have been so kind and helpful. We love the Ivy House Team and are so excited to have our wedding there in October 😊

ough to leaving the venue the night of our wedding - we felt taken care of every step of the way.
While we did get assigned different day-of-coordinators throughout the process- everything went off without a hitch and Chloe was an absolute professional.
The Ivy House space has it all with an indoor/outdoor feel for the greenhouse (where we had our ceremony), perfect bride getting ready suite with more than enough space for makeup/hair and all the bridesmaids, a grooms suite (a rarity in the wedding venue space) and not to mention the most beautiful reception space.
Not only is the venue stunning - they have thought through everything. Optional add-ons include in-house rentals, alcohol (for reception and in getting ready suites), day of coordination, an updated preferred vendors list and so much more.
We received so many compliments from guests that the space is stunning but the staff was also fantastic. I can’t recommend it enough!!

I highly recommend hosting your event at the Ivy House. I was married here in January, and from start to finish the experience was incredible. Every member of the staff was kind, h...
elpful, and professional, especially our wedding planner, Tiffany. On our wedding day, I didn’t worry about a single thing. After a year of working closely together, I fully trusted Tiffany to execute my vision, and she delivered beyond our expectations. She expertly guided us through the entire planning process and helped bring the wedding of our dreams to life.
The venue itself is absolutely stunning, and even in January the greenhouse was a comfortable 71 degrees. The bridal suite is spacious and beautiful, with plenty of mirrors, a private bathroom, and ample room for the entire bridal party. While the groom’s suite is more modest, it was still a very nice space for the time it’s used.
The hospitality at the Ivy House is truly top-notch. They have excellent relationships with trusted vendors, which made navigating the many wedding decisions so much easier. The option to rent décor through their in-house company, Charm Decor, was also a huge bonus, especially for couples who prefer not to DIY. An incredible venue and team from start to finish!

tional and go above and beyond to help you have your dream wedding! My husband and I had a pretty firm budget and Ivy House helped us figure everything out, no hidden fees, so many recommendations from food, coffee and decor that were all great!!
Our wedding day was beautiful, everything went as planned, even with rain coming, Ivy house staff was there with umbrellas and helping every step of the way!
My girls got ready in the suite and there was so much space for everyone and it was so nice having it be so close to downtown Saugatuck. We were able to have family drop off food, snacks and coffee as we got ready. Because of rain we were limited with space to take photos before the ceremony, but that didn’t matter because between the green house, getting ready space, and reception space, we were able to get so many beautiful photos!
The reception space (tables and dance floor) were set up so beautifully and perfectly by their decor partner Decor House! I would definitely recommend using them! I would also recommend using the preferred vendors they chose! Ivy house was so intentional with choosing them and we were so blessed by choosing their trusted people.
If you’re wondering if you should choose Ivy House, you should.
I have attached photo proof that we had a beautiful, perfect wedding :) love them!!!!

It was so nice to be on one property for the entire day!
Ivy House also has a wonderful Day of Coordination service! They helped me so much from the day I hired them. For 6 months they asked all the questions, answered all the questions, and made our day run smooth! They did the entire set up and it looked exactly how I pictured it. They also did the entire tear down so family and friends could enjoy and relax! I never in my wildest dreams thought I would be as stress free as I was on that day! LOVE this place and these people! Thank you for everything!
