About This Vendor

An Enchanting, Rustic Setting For Your Magical Day

Located in Port Sanilac, MI, Lavender Shores Farm is an elegant countryside wedding venue. Offering indoor and outdoor spaces, this rustic space offers an abundance of charm for an unforgettable day. Fields filled with lavender dot the grounds, offering a one-of-a-kind romantic setting where you can exchange your vows. At Lavender Shores Farm, you are invited to enjoy the beauty of the natural world. Fields of rippling lavender invite you to relax and take deep breaths of the fresh air. Owners Dan and Christine Kelly held their own wedding at the farm, which Dan had purchased some years earlier. The lavender, however, was Christine’s idea. After experiencing firsthand the magic of their venue, they decided to share it with as many other couples as they could. In 2019 they planted more than seven acres of wildflowers, adding even more beauty to the space. There are countless opportunities for breathtaking backdrops to your wedding photos. The 100 year old barn at Lavender Shores Farm has 2,400 square feet of indoor space that can seat up to 150 guests. A recently renovated setting, the barn also has a generously sized dance floor to accommodate lively celebrations. There is even a bar area with a fridge and sink, as well as a dedicated area for your DJ. Behind the barn, an acre of flat manicured lawn is perfect for tenting, to extend your guest list or eat a meal outside. There are two restrooms conveniently located just outside the barn and a gorgeous ready room for the bride and here friends to relax in before the ceremony. For the ceremony, you are welcomed to a half acre site filled with lavender. It is particularly breathtaking in June and July, when the plants are in full bloom. There are electrical outlets at the ceremony site to help with audiovisual facilities. If you and your loved ones are fans of the great outdoors, the farm has a large area reserved for tents and RV camping, helping you to stay close to nature.

nd all questions, and were extremely nice through the entire process. The lavender field was beautiful and EXACTLY what I wanted, and it was perfect timing because it was peak time for the lavender too. ( you can also buy fresh lavender from them for your bouque or table decorations - it was $20 for a very large bunch) The barn was so amazing and really checked all the boxes for the perfect rustic wedding. There was plenty of room for the dance floor, and the outdoor area was a great getaway when you needed some fresh air. There were so many things included that I never would've thought of myself - or would've heaped on a ton more stress through the entire thing. The campsite is also FANTASTIC. There are tents there now for the groom's party to get ready and one with an actual bed and it all had a bunch of extra personal touches. If you are thinking about checking Lavender Shores Farm out for your wedding, please do it. Christy and Dan were absolutely perfect and made our day amazing. I cannot thank them enough.

knew it was our perfect match! We were nervous to find an LGBT friendly location in a more rural area, but Dan and Christine were very excited and honored to host us!

We are truly thankful for Lavender Shores, who helped us pull off the perfect day.

has a DJ and bar area built inside! The owners were sweet enough to set up all the tables/chairs/linens/centerpieces/plates that THEY PROVIDED as well as helped us with tear-down which made our special day so much less stressful! Heaters are available if it gets too cold as well which worked very well the evening of our wedding. The venue also has a STUNNING new ready room, 2 new indoor bathrooms, a smoking area w/ fire pit, outdoor camping (with electrical hookup sites, an outhouse equip with plumbing, and even an outdoor shower), and breathtaking views of fields and, of course, flowers! The venue is dog friendly so long as they remain on leashes! I will forever recommend this venue to anyone looking for an absolutely perfect barn wedding!

al ready room is gorgeous and such a stress reliever to be on site all day to make sure everything is in order. They are constantly updating and improving and it shows! The ceremony space with the fresh lavender is so special on its own but was easily dressed up just how we wanted. The reception space is beautiful and was perfectly rustic and vintage for us. The mix and match vintage plates, the light coming through the wood slats of the barn, the string lights everywhere and of course the lavender field made for absolutely beautiful photos. Our guests couldn’t tell us enough how unique the space was. Lavender Shores is such a hidden gem, we didn’t look anywhere else, the price for everything made it an easy decision. As soon as we met the Kelly’s and toured we were sold! They are both extremely laid back and welcoming but attentive should you have any questions. They were on site day of and a few feet away to offer help but let us be to enjoy our reception. Thank you again!!

g I needed! I had absolutely NO worries with them!!!!! I got to focus on my day, but even better they did to!!!!! They checked on me during my night (which made me feel so comfortable there). The land had more than a fairytale feeling, it was stunning. Pulling away from the barn that night I was so great full to them to have such a beautiful place for me to have one of the most important days of my life at such an affordable cost, especially because I am still in nursing school. I will never be able to thank Dan or Christine for everything they did for me that night. If I were ever to recommend a wedding venue, there is only one place I would recommend and it would be Lavender Shores farm. I always wanted a fairytale wedding, like in the movies and thanks to them, I did! Thank you for everything!!!!!

etter than I had dreamed! There is a built in bar for bartenders with a fridge, deep freeze, and keg trough. There's a built in DJ booth with electricity, wifi, and an epic dance floor. The vendors were all relieved that they could pull their trucks right up to the door to unload, and all commented on how great the Kellys are to work with. There are 2 restrooms right next to the barn (super convenient) and one out at the campsite which was a LIVESAVER!! The campground was such an awesome option to have so our guests wouldn't have to drive home. Our wedding couldn't have been more perfect and the location of it all was the reason!

e lovely. Working with Christine was incredible, she was understanding when I wasn't able to respond right away and sent gentle reminders about things that I may have forgotten. The space itself was decked out with twinkle lights and candles, which made the lighting soft and beautiful as the night went on and the sun dappled through some slats bringing in sunshine in the best way. Christine and Dan were on site for set up and break down and if there was any concern or something extra to just bring the pop of personality to the forefront, they were there with options and ready to work with you. My husband has said that we won't be getting married again, but this wedding was basically perfect, so that's fine with me. If you're considering this venue, go ahead and send the message. If you are deciding between options, the people here should weigh out in favor of Lavender Shores; they're great people to work with.
