Gorgeous venue. Top notch staff. Amazing food. My husband and I were fully taken care of leading up to and on the day of our wedding day! Brooke was our venue coordinator and I could not be more thankful for her support, planning, and advice throughout the planning process. She had great communication with us. Our guest were blow away by the house and garden tent, the food, and loved being able to tour the estate. So many of them came up to us and said we set a new bar for weddings they'd attended!
Morgan Pierce our coordinator was an absolute dream to work with! She just “gets it” and knows exactly how to execute, be professional, and act like a built in bridesmaid 😜 She is prompt and will calm your nerves with her kind personality. Meadowbrook as a whole is beautiful and had the best wedding food we’ve ever received. They truly make it able to customize your event from start to finish. We had the perfect day!

Our wedding day was a dream come true thanks to Meadow Brook Hall. We had Luana as our Event Coordinator and she was beyond amazing, I can't recommend her enough. She was a pleasure to work with, so helpful, and made sure our wedding day was perfect. The team executed my vision for our wedding better than I could've dreamed. Everyone raved about how incredible the venue was. And the food was delicious!!! The bartenders were fabulous, the staff was professional and wonderful to work with. Everything was perfect. I highly highly recommend having your wedding at Meadow Brook Hall!

Meadow Brook Hall was absolutely amazing, and my wife and I could not have been happier to have had this be our wedding venue.

d review, David. We wish you and Shayna all the best!
I cannot speak enough to the beauty, professionalism, and ease Meadow Brook Hall brought to our wedding. Morgan was our coordinator and absolutely made our day the BEST day! When literally 75% of our wedding guests said without a doubt it was the best wedding they had ever been to, you know they're doing something right. Every area of the grounds and facilities is the perfect setting and backdrop. The staff were all courteous, accommodating, and served drinks and food to perfection. The food and cocktails were all outrageously delicious. We were impressed especially during our event tasting and the chef was proud to explain where they source their meats. Every detail is curated and executed flawlessly. We are so appreciative of Morgan and the rest of the MBH staff for making our wedding the best day of our lives!

We had our wedding at Meadow Brook Hall. It was out of a dream! We got so many compliments on the venue, the food and the service. The gardens provided an amazing backdrop for all of our wedding day experiences and photos. Our wedding coordinator, Luana, was so helpful and communicative throughout the entire planning process, and then helped us navigate a few day-of wedding hiccups with ease and poise (rain and a challenging guest situation). Everything was truly perfect and we're still buzzing from our wedding day a week later!

Our wedding day at Meadow Brook Hall was absolutely amazing. Our guests would not stop talking about how wonderful the food and service was, as well as how beautiful the grounds were. Everything was perfect! We cannot thank the staff enough.

you and Robert's special day, and we appreciate your heartfelt recommendation.
We were very happy to have booked Meadow Brook Hall as our wedding venue. We made our choice by attending their open house in fall, where we were offered snacks and could tour the venue. Through the whole process communications and professionalism were exceptional. Our coordinator, Luana, was helpful answering our questions, guiding us through the process, and giving suggestions for the setup.
Unfortunately, for our wedding day, the weather turned from sunny to rainy 15 mins before the ceremony had to start, but Luana did everything she could to try to still hold the ceremony outdoors and it was up to us to make the final call. Given it continued to rain on and off, staff very quickly arranged indoor ceremony and we were happy with how little disruption/delays that caused.
Our guests very were pleased with our wedding. They complimented on the venue overall (gorgeous house), service, food, and drinks. I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone.

Everyone at Meadow Brook Hall was extremely helpful and attentive and truly helped create the most beautiful day of our lives. The grounds are stunning and everything was excellent - the drinks, food, decor, etc. It also is great that the funds help keep the doors open - it truly is one in a million historical site and one that I hope will remain a destination for many years into the future. We can't say enough good things about this place.

I cannot even begin to express how amazing our wedding was at Meadow Brook Hall! Cheryl, who we worked with in the early stages was so so helpful and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. Luana, our event coordinator was amazing to work with and made me feel so confident and calm going into the final few months of planning! The tent was beautiful and the food was delicious. We received so many compliments that it was the most beautiful wedding our guests had ever been to. All of the staff the day of were so helpful, and made sure all of the guests had everything they needed. I cannot recommend Meadow Brook Hall enough, I wish we could replay the whole night over again and again!

The entire staff was AMAZING. Everything was taken care of for us, and our coordinator (Morgan) was phenomenal :)
The experience getting married at Meadow Brook was above and beyond what we dreamed! The convenience of having the food provided by the venue (which was absolutely delicious and we got raving reviews!) was a big perk for us, not having to worry about coordinating more vendors etc. and the venue itself and our amazing on site coordinator Luana at Meadow Brook did an amazing job ensuring everything was set up perfectly and that we truly had nothing to worry about day-of aside from getting married and having a great time! Their coordinators are responsible for everything and made it so easy to have a perfect day. There were several points through the night that Luana sought out myself and my husband to make sure we had water or a special drink if we needed, which was always needed since we kept forgetting to drink or take breaks through the day with all the excitement. Luana even made sure I had a special heart shaped stirrer in the drink she brought me (my bridesmaids informed me that they noticed her going above and beyond to make it extra special!) over all, the price was very competitive for the area and we were able to work within our budget for a magical and special winter wedding celebration. The ballroom was such a unique and beautiful backdrop for the ceremony and the dancing after our seated dinner in the dining room. Every one of our guests has told us that it was the most unique and beautiful wedding they’ve attended. The open time to tour during cocktail hour was icing on the cake. 10/10 recommend, the only setback we had was that no flash photography is allowed in the building so we had to find photographers that were comfortable shooting in the conditions and had to adjust certain expectations for how photos would look. Over all, we had no issues on the day of the wedding and it was made a magical experience thanks to Meadow Brook Hall and their amazing team!

If I could give 100 stars, I would! I got married at Meadow Brook Hall in June of 2023. From my inquiry to the execution of the wedding day, everything was absolutely perfect! In addition to the best staff, the grounds and beauty of this venue are truly unmatched!
Cheryl was so informative and quick to respond during the inquiry process. She answered all my questions and made sure we were entirely comfortable before securing our date. We had the pleasure of working with Brooke as our event coordinator and she was amazing! She is so incredibly kind, patient, and attentive - she was a dream to work with! One of the biggest compliments we heard from our guests is about the food. Everyone raved (and still does!) about it, which was so important to us when finding our perfect venue!
We cannot recommend this venue enough! Thank you, Meadow Brook Hall, for bringing out dream wedding to life!

Our wedding planning experience went so smoothly thanks to Christine and Morgan. After our first consultation and tour with Christine, we knew that Meadow Brook Hall was special by the time we got back to our car. We were treated very well at our tasting and were introduced to Morgan, who took on our account from there. In spite of repeated assurances that they will handle everything and it is all under control, I was still skeptical. Nevertheless, my fears were unfounded and Morgan and her team truly delivered. Everyone was so helpful and accommodating, even with last second dinner changes. From early conversations and consultations, through rehearsal, set up, dinner (with dietary curveballs), and tear down. Everyone was courteous, professional and truly put us and our guests first. Morgan did such a great job - I would trust her with my life!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Meadow Brook. We had a wedding of under 80 guests and our wedding took place indoors in the Christopher Wren dining room and the downstairs ballroom. This was the first venue we had visited and we were so blown away by how beautiful it was that we ended up canceling our other site visits to sign the contract immediately. The staff has been incredible from the beginning as well - Morgan, our event coordinator, especially is a total rockstar! She was so responsive and checked in frequently throughout to make sure we had everything we needed. On the day of, from the rehearsal, to setup, and the ceremony/reception, she was always present to make sure everything was on schedule and going according to plan. She is a true professional! Our guests are still raving to us about how incredible the venue was. Many thanks to all the staff who made our dream wedding possible.

Where do I even begin? We had our wedding at Meadow Brook Hall in October 2023. Cheryl, Brooke and the entire team were absolutely amazing. From the initial meeting, to the tasting, to our wedding day and after their communication has been excellent. They have been so timely and responsive to any and all questions we had. The day of our wedding was perfect. The food and beverages were INCREDIBLE. We had guests at our wedding asking where they could have the food again! I am still dreaming of the hors d’oeuvres and craft cocktails…SO GOOD! The entire staff paid attention to every detail and it truly showed. The service was above and beyond. Meadow Brook Hall was better than our wildest dreams. We cannot thank you all enough!!!! BEST DAY EVER!

My husband and I couldn't be happier with our wedding at Meadow Brook Hall. Beautiful historic venue, fantastic food and drinks, and a great team of workers to make our day run smoothly. Christine Busch was our Event Sales Associate, and she was so great and helpful in the beginning stages of our process. Our event coordinator Morgan Pierce was amazing and she was so helpful and patient with us throughout the process of planning our wedding. Our guests were raving about the food and the opportunity to tour the mansion during cocktail hour. I truly had the wedding of my dreams at Meadow Brook Hall, and I can't thank Christine, Morgan, and the entire staff enough for giving us a beautiful and perfect wedding. It was everything and more!

My husband and I had the pleasure of celebrating our wedding at Meadow Brook Hall on July 1st, 2023, and it was nothing short of a fairy tale! Choosing this beautiful, timeless venue for our special day was one of the best decisions we could have made, and we cannot thank the staff enough for making our wedding truly magical. The entire process could not have been smoother and stress-free, from our initial interaction with event sales associate Christine Busch to our experience leading up to our wedding day with our event coordinator, Brooke Graber, to all of the other wonderful, hard-working staff at Meadow Brook that helped make our wedding rehearsal, ceremony, and reception a dream come true. Our guests raved about the delicious food and beverages served throughout the evening and loved the opportunity to tour the mansion during our cocktail hour. I cannot recommend Meadow Brook Hall enough. It exceeded our wildest expectations as a wedding venue – still in awe!

Meadow Brook Hall was an absolute dream to work with! Due to planning and booking from out of state, I was originally concerned that the months leading up to the wedding would be stressful. Our planner Brooke made sure that she was available any weekend that we were in town, and offered so many accommodations to help us in any way she could. Not only is the venue stunning, the staff was EXCELLENT. From the serving staff, to the bartenders, and catering team, everyone was extremely helpful and truly made our day flow effortlessly. There is no doubt that choosing to host our wedding at Meadow Brook was the best choice we made!

The staff at Meadow Brook Hall went above and beyond to make our wedding day run smoothly. This is especially true of our coordinator, Morgan, who was easily reachable, attentive to every detail, and accommodating. I didn't have to worry or even think about a single detail the day of the wedding because of her hard work and ability to plan ahead/accommodate last minute changes. Additionally, all my guests commented on the excellent service of the catering staff (bartenders and servers). They were noted to be professional and efficient creating a perfect flow to our dinner service without award delays or pauses between courses. No detail was too small for this team. As the Bride and Groom, we were outside doing some last minute pictures at the time entrees were being served and the team thoughtful held our entrees in the kitchen until we returned to our seats. Not to mention the food was AMAZING, again noted by many of our guests. If you want a beautiful venue with top notch coordinators and day of staff this is the perfect place. Thank you Morgan and team!

We had a really great experience with Meadow Brook. Our wedding coordinator Morgan was wonderful and really organized. Things ran seamlessly at our reception. The food and drinks were amazing and everything looked beautiful.
It is a historical venue, so there are restrictions. As long as you go in understanding that, you will have a smooth planning experience.
Our main 'con' is that you have to take all of your decor home at the end of the night. The staff packs it all up, but make sure you have a vehicle to put everything in.

What I would tell anybody about planning a wedding, is that your vendors truly make your day. Booking Meadow Brook Hall as our venue, was truly one of the greatest decisions I could have made. From the kindness and professionalism of the staff, to the beautiful gardens and absolutely delicious food, Meadow Brook made all of our wedding dreams come true.

wedding day one to remember!
Meadow Brook Hall was the absolute perfect location for our dream wedding! We worked with Cheryl when we first toured and booked with Meadow Brook and then Brooke was our event coordinator leading up to and the day of the wedding. Both women were absolutely wonderful to work with! They were super responsive and made sure we were all on the same page for the day to go perfectly. The food was delicious and they had a ton of great options for us to choose from. We didn't choose to have cocktail hour indoors until the night before the wedding, but that was zero issue and they accommodated everything we wanted. During the reception, there was one small hiccup and Brooke handled it immediately. It was truly a dream and I wouldn't have changed anything about it.
Your wedding day is supposed to be the best day of your life, but in our case, it was almost the opposite. We’ll start with the good things: the look of the venue and food. Everything else was a disaster.
The venue is beautiful, either outside or inside and the food was delicious. The whole planning process was awful. We’ve read a lot of good reviews about Brooke and we asked for her when we booked the venue, but we ended up with Morgan. We understand she was new at the time, but nobody from Meadow Brook Hall (MBH) seemed to care enough to step in and help her and make sure that we had a successful, memorable wedding.
Firstly, we didn’t get what we paid for, MBH even acknowledged this in an email, and yet they didn’t care or do anything about it. For example, we bought an additional hour of time for our reception, but the staff removed our decorations within minutes of dinner ending which led our guests to start leaving, thinking our event was over. Almost everyone was gone within an hour after dinner.
Next, if you expect to have your calls returned, good luck. When we saw how poorly the planning process was going, we called regarding the concerns we had. We called over and over, left voicemails and emails, and even asked the receptionist to ask the staff to call us back. We were told everyone was in a meeting. Even as of now, they’ve never returned our calls to address our concerns.
If you expect clarity, good luck. You’ll find out important information AFTER you’ve had to make your decision and past the deadline and all by chance. Moreover, some information is not mentioned in the contract or anywhere else, so there was no way to know about it or know to ask about it.
If you expect any flexibility, good luck. You’ll be notified about things less than 1 week prior the due date, your coordinator will disappear, and you’ll miss the date (many of ours were on Sundays). You’ll have to make decisions without getting any answers and on the following Monday, when you MIGHT get answers and find out that some things are different than expected, they will tell you that you’re past the due date and you cannot change anything. Even if it’s only 1 day past the due date and you couldn’t get a hold of anyone.
If you expect to have a coordinator to help you, good luck. It made it more complicated. There were so many back-and-forth emails without any purpose and planning calls where the coordinator had no information for us and where she completely forgot about any questions we asked. We had to remind her over and over, making us miss due dates where we then couldn’t get what we had been asking for for so long. Also, our floor plan was wrong several times, despite us correcting it for the coordinator every single time. Even our external vendors spotted the mistakes and luckily asked us for clarification, otherwise it would have cost us a lot in extra fees. We even had to run our own ceremony rehearsal, the coordinator just stood there.
The list could go on and on. As we said, the venue and food were great, but the whole planning process and our wedding day were awful. MBH got a lot of good reviews in 2019 and 2020, which is one of the reasons we picked them, but only a few in 2021-2022. It seems like they are riding the wave of old reviews and not many people recently think their service is good enough to bother leaving a review.
We had a WONDERFUL experience working with Meadow Brook Hall for our wedding celebration. Our coordinator Brooke was responsive and attentive to detail, and we want to express thanks to the whole MBH team for how seamlessly they incorporated our ideas and worked with vendors. The grounds are stunning, and when it ended up raining on our wedding day, the MBH team was able to switch us to an indoor ceremony space with no interruption to the guest experience or flow of the day. As a same-sex couple, we felt comfortable and happy throughout the process. We are still getting compliments about the food, cocktail bar, and beautiful space!
Amazing venue and beyond happy! The food, service and overall day of care was amazing! Our day of coordinator was beyond amazing and truly made my wedding the best ever. They took such great care of my husband and I and really did everything to make it easy. Would recommend to anyone!! It’s expensive but 100% worth the cost
Meadow Brook Hall was absolutely amazing as a venue. We went with them for a couple reasons. 1) Their minimum food & beverage spend was very reasonable and much lower than a lot of other venues we looked at. 2) The house/grounds/tent are insanely beautiful. Seriously, there is not a prettier venue. 3) The tent that you get to use for your wedding is air conditioned (our wedding was in August, and my husband and I both run very warm, so this was a HUGE plus for us). 4) You are the only event on your wedding day (we hated that at other venues there could be multiple weddings going on at a time). On top of all that, they provide you a lot of things on site that other venues make you bring in, such as tables, plates, silverware, catering, etc. We brought in our own chairs and linens just because we didn't love the look of the chairs that MBH provides. Beyond that, MBH is so so easy to work with. They will work with you to make whatever you want come true. You have an on-site coordinator who you communicate with the entire time (ours was Brooke), and she did an amazing job of being available to answer questions, make recommendations, etc. The absolute bonus is that their food (which they provide) is legitimately AMAZING. Wedding food is usually pretty meh, but I can't tell you how many guests came up to me in the days/weeks after our wedding saying how they couldn't get over how good the food was. MBH was such an incredible venue and will now always hold a special place in our hearts.
The perfect venue for a fairy tale wedding that is sure to wow your guests. The food was very good and the ambiance is unbeatable. You will not regret going with Meadow Brook, especially when you see how good your photos look!
A dream location for a beautiful wedding! Through covid there were MANY date changes and a few coordinators…but the staff at Meadowbrook made it work and made it perfect! We wanted an indoor wedding but due to covid had to have it in the tent. It was not what we originally envisioned but it was still gorgeous! The guests got to tour during cocktail hour, the food was AMAZING and every single person walked away feeling like they’d been at a Royal wedding (as did we)! We plan on going back for a tour soon! Thank you to everyone who helped our day FINALLY become a reality!!! Stephanie, Cheryl and Karleen…thank you all!!!
Alexis was our main contact and she was amazing to work with! She great with handling all of the vendor coordination. We had to change our original date and they were very accommodating for the new date and working with us when we had fewer guests rsvp than expected due to Covid. They were great with setting up yard games (theirs and our own) for guests since the dance floor had Covid restrictions.
The venue itself was absolutely beautiful, there were loads of compliments from guests.
They also worked with us to have a family antique car driven on to the front lawn for photos, which turned out beautifully.
We had our wedding at Meadow Brook and it was spectacular! Everything from the first visit to the big day went smoothly. Cheryl and Brooke are both so kind and helpful! They quickly answered all of my questions and made sure our day was perfect. The venue is gorgeous and all of our guests loved the food. I would highly recommend this beautiful and unique venue!
We booked Meadow brook for our ceremony February 13, 2021. Obviously planning a wedding in 2020 was a bumpy ride due to COVID-19 and all of the state restrictions that came with it. We were fortunate enough to work with Cheryl, who made our wedding day more than what we could ever imagined. Leading up to the wedding sheWas responsive to each question and concern I had throughout the process. She was watching the news waiting for updated guidelines more intently than I was! Last minute the University advised that Meadow brook needed to move our wedding from indoors to outside... in the middle of February and in 15 degree temps. Because in Michigan dining with strictly outside, finding a tent rental and heaters was nearly impossible and having to do it in less than 48 hours made the challenge much more difficult. However, overnight Cheryl was able to acquire a large tent and seven heaters to accommodate our 20 person ceremony. From the moment she told me we were bumped outside to the moment I showed up for our wedding rehearsal she and the Meadow brook staff had transformed the main entry into a beautiful wedding venue. She was accommodating and caring. Despite all the bumps in the road she bent over backwards for us and we will forever be thankful to her for that. If you were looking for a venue that will go above and beyond and do anything to make your day special, this is it.
We knew that Meadow Brook was a great place to have our wedding, but Alexis and Meadow Brook exceeded our expectations. They kept us informed during the pandemic and were flexible with our requests. They did a great job at our wedding and everything leading up to it. Our guests had nothing but good things to say and their food was amazing. We really appreciate everything Alexis and Meadow Brook did for us.
As a corona bride, we had more stress and anxiety about the wedding planning process than I ever thought possible. But our wedding coordinator Stephanie was absolutely fantastic, and was there to support us every step of the way! She always went the extra mile to make sure we had all of the information we needed/wanted, and was very prompt in returning our emails and phone calls. She made sure the day went smoothly, and that we were well taken care of throughout the day. Our guests raved about how good the food was, and how beautiful the estate and grounds were. The reception tent itself is gorgeous, and was the perfect setting for our summer wedding. I'm so thankful that we chose Meadow Brook Hall as our venue - I can't imagine our day anywhere else!
My husband and I got married on September 18th, 2020 (Originally was supposed to be June 6th)... as you can imagine, being a COVID bride is extremely stressful. Even with everything going on with COVID, Alexis, our coordinator, did everything in her power to make our experience as enjoyable and as stress-free as possible... and she was INCREDIBLE. No matter what our questions or concerns were she got back to us in record time (and that means everything while planning a wedding). The overall experience of getting married at meadowbrook was better than we could have ever asked for!
The night of the event went very very smoothly... I’m still to this day getting compliments that this was the best food at a wedding they’ve ever had. Not to mention the service was incredible. The staff was all extremely nice and helpful.
We can’t thank the staff at Meadowbrook and our vendors enough for making our day so special!
We had our daughter’s wedding and 3 years later, her baby shower at Meadow Brook Hall. We were thrilled with the outcome of both events. The staff, and especially our coordinator Alexis, was great to work with. She goes above and beyond to make sure that your event is successful.
The venue is so beautiful and you and your guests are able to take advantage of using the mansion and all the beautiful grounds.
And the food is pretty fabulous too!
If you are looking for a unique and lovely setting for your event, Meadow Brook Hall is the right choice.
First off, this venue is GORGEOUS! Secondly, thank you, Stephanie for helping make our wedding amazing.
Yes, the venue is as beautiful as the pictures. We had our wedding during the winter to ensure our guests could experience the estate.
From planning to execution, this place knows their stuff. Staff is helpful and really kept us at ease to get all the arranging done flawlessly.
My only issue would be the bar package. It is expensive, as with most things wedding related at a beautiful venue, but the available options of mixers were limiting and quality of our signature cocktail left many guests wondering if there was any of that expensive alcohol in it. Our drink was supposed to be red, and all the versions I saw and drank were orange because of the copious amounts of orange juice used.
Overall amazing staff and venue, would highly recommend to anyone who was interested. (Maybe just stick with wine over the other options that could be diluted.)
Our wedding day was beautiful and we were overall happy with our selection of Meadow Brook Hall as our venue. The serving staff was very attentive and we received compliments on how on top of things they were. We thought the food was delicious and the serving sizes were enough to keep us and our guests full and happy (also, highly recommend the sliders for late night nosh!). The cocktail hour was spread beautifully across the back lawn of the mansion and was one of our favorite parts of the day.
While there were many things we loved, there were a few areas that I thought could have been better. There were small details for the reception that were not setup the way I envisioned. We had a thank you card to be placed on an acrylic stand for each table but instead they were laid flat on the table and barely visible. I provided enough acrylic stands for this but they were not used. I had round menus for each place setting that I wanted to be placed underneath the glass charger but instead they were placed on top of the charger. I intended to go over these details at the rehearsal, which is when I dropped off the boxes containing these items, but my coordinator made me feel rushed and wasn’t giving me the time or attention to explain the contents and give directions. Granted, I was running behind schedule, so I think that is why the time wasn’t spent with me to go over this and I realize these are little things, but I don’t think this should have been overlooked. Not for a venue that touts their exceptional service and attention to detail.
While Meadow Brook is most definitely a beautiful venue, don’t expect to get as much for your money as you would at other venues. Many venues will be willing to “throw in” something small here or there as a kind gesture and is often customary in doing business, but that is not the case with this venue. We asked for maybe one upgraded item to be thrown in and were told no. Expect to get everything as contracted with no extras. Again, beautiful venue but there were areas that didn’t meet our expectations.
Response from the Vendor on 09/25/2020
Thank you for your honest and detailed review. We are so happy to hear that you and your guests were pleased with our food and exceptional service. Regarding your concerns for the few details that were missed, we understand the importance of en...
visioning your wedding day, with all of the details in place. We apologize that they were overlooked. It was not our intention nor our usual professional practice and it is not acceptable. We will address these concerns with your coordinator and be sure they are not overlooked in the future.
Meadow Brook Hall is a one-of-a-kind wedding venue and National Historic Landmark, our goal is to offer an exclusive experience and extraordinary service and most importantly exceed your expectations. Again, thank you for your feedback, we take these critiques very seriously and use them as an opportunity to review our internal process, to ensure we are maintaining our remarkable reputation.
We got married in July 2020 and it was an absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. The wedding coordinating staff at Meadowbrook Hall are the best in the business. They held our potential date multiple times so that we could continue searching without needing a down payment to lock it in. The taste testing prior to our event was above and beyond and helped us feel really confident about our meal choices for our wedding. Alexis, our day-of event coordinator, is phenomenal at her job and made sure no detail was overlooked and every concern or question was taken care of. She made everything so much easier, which is really saying something given that we were hosting our wedding in a pandemic. Although given the option to postpone, we did not want to push back our celebration, and even though we had to downsize our guest count, Meadowbrook did everything they needed to in order to follow the state health guidelines, while not sacrificing the romance, beauty, and celebration of our dream wedding. Their garden tent is also so gorgeous, and satisfies an outdoor feel without losing any elegance or charm. I chose Meadowbrook over other more DIY venues because I did not want to be my own coordinator or spend extra money in our budget on top of the cost of making a bare-bones venue look the way I wanted it to. Meadowbrook was a dream come true to have my wedding at and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone.
I got married at meadow brook hall and my wedding was absolutely beyond perfect! I had an extremely short amount of time to plan with many changes within the last few week. Stephanie and Caitlin were an absolute delight to work with and made my wedding vision come true. I couldn’t have imagined a more breath taking venue, a delightful/professional staff and amazing planners. I would give this place a 100 out of 5 stars and HIGHLY recommend!
5 stars is not enough to give this venue. My husband and I planned on having a November 2020 wedding, but due to covid we decided to cancel and do something this summer. The end of May we reached out to Meadow Brook is hopes to be able to make a small, outdoor ceremony work. They were beyond helpful and accommodating! We ended up getting married on July 5! Our pictures turned out amazing, and we were so happy with everything. For only having a ceremony with them, it was amazing. The staff is excellent and so nice to work with! Caitlin was beyond amazing in working with us with such a short time frame! We are so happy we chose Meadow Brook! There’s no way our original November 2020 wedding would have topped what we did! Do not get married anywhere else!
We knew we wanted our wedding at Meadow Brook as soon as we arrived for a tour and could not be happier with that decision. The venue is stunning and our wedding was picture perfect, even better than we could have imagined. The food was also great and we received so many complements on dinner from our guests.
Aside from the beauty of the venue, the staff was a major highlight. We worked with both Alexis and Caitlin and they were both amazing to work with, especially through the challenging process of postponing our wedding. On the day of the wedding, Caitlin went above and beyond to make sure everything went perfectly. She was truly amazing.
Meadowbrook was the perfect choice for our daughters wedding. History and Elegance of the Mansion made the celebration even more exciting and fun......dancing down the red stair case to a Motown music classic was a wow moment along with so many that day. The cozy and romantic setting with a strolling dinner of amazing food creations is something our guests are still complementing. Thank you to Meadowbrook planners , Shannon and Alexis , who supported the planning and execution of every detail of the day with so much professionalism and patience .
The venue is breath taking. Not one bad place to take a picture. Love that guest are able to tour mansion during cocktail hour. Gives you guest something to do rather than just normal wedding activities. It also helps that the mansion gives you a preferred vendors list of vendors that they have worked with in the past. This is how we found all the amazing vendors that made our wedding breath taking. You can use your own vendors, but i would highly recommend the ones that mansions gives you. They handle everything for you on the day of. They give you a wedding planner (we had alexis and she was unbelievable) and it made the day off so much less stressful for me. They work with the vendors for logistics and layout. They are organized and will work with you on any special request, but since it is a preserved museum it does make a few things difficult, such as no pictures in some areas and no hairspray in the get ready rooms (nothing major!). The food is out of this world. There was not one bad thing on their menu and they even will let you give you vendors a special meal. We got so many complements that this was the best wedding that anyone had ever been to. As much as i would like to take credit for that, it really came down to meadow brook mansion and their staff. It is worth the money, but you can do it on the budget! Make your big day a day you will never forget. I could never thank the meadow brook team for all they did for us.
We were planning our October 2019 wedding from California which was a challenge, but Alexis at Meadow Brook Hall was so helpful during the process. She replied quickly to all the random questions I had along the way and was very organized and detailed. We had a wonderful wedding day experience and received so many compliments on our choice of venue, from the beautiful historic setting to the fantastic food. Thank you!
Alexis was our wedding coordinator and we couldn’t be more happy with our experience with her! From start to finish she made h usual the usual high stress wedding planning a breeze. We would recommend her, and Meadowbrook Hall to anyone!
Cannot thank Stephanie and the whole MB team enough for making our day so special! They were so accommodating every step of the way, from picking the date, to the amazing food tasting, supporting any custom / weird requests you have, to the wedding day! The chef is SO nice and the food was AMAZING, the staff that greeted, served and helped our guests the whole night were incredible. I would highly recommend to anyone, that MB is one of the best venues for your wedding reception. Also, when they say you do not need a wedding planner, listen! I did not listen, and learned after the fact... Stephanie is there from the beginning to the end, making sure every last detail is just how you envisioned it. Thank you Stephanie!
The best choice that I made surrounding my wedding was choosing Meadow Brook Hall as my venue. It was the only venue that I went to look at and I knew immediately that it was perfect. It is absolutely stunning. I have even had multiple guests tell me that it was the "best wedding that they had ever been to" simply because of the venue alone!
We had our ceremony in the garden and our reception in the Garden Tent which is absolutely gorgeous. The white backdrop made for BEAUTIFUL pictures. During dinner, they opened the sides of the tent and there were even deer in the backdrop of the photos for our speeches - it was truly a fairytale.
I worked with Alexis as my wedding coordinator (assigned by Meadow Brook) and she was a dream to work with. She was down to earth, extremely prompt in answering emails (and there were A LOT), and you could tell that she truly loved her job.
The the food... PHENOMENAL. They invite all of the couples getting married that year to a tasting over the Winter so you can try out the meal of your choice. The portions were substantial, the presentation was elegant (the salad was wrapped in a cucumber and the cake had a drizzle and flower on the plate!), and the service was top-notch.
I truly cannot say enough good things about this venue. My husband and I will be visiting here for years to come because we love it so much. Thank you so much Meadow Brook and Alexis for helping make our day unforgettable ❤️
We had hands down the BEST wedding experience at Meadow Brook Hall. As a bride, I cannot say enough great things about the venue, staff and most of all my coordinator Alexis. All of our guests were blown away by the stunning venue and how professional the staff was. Alexis made the entire planning process completely seamless for my husband and I, we will be forever grateful for her. On our wedding day, we ended up having a few last minute changes due to weather but it was handled with ease - Alexis and the MB staff were truly the dream team. You will not regret your decision on this venue, I guarantee it.
We could not have dreamed of a better wedding venue than Meadow Brook! We got countless compliments all night that our guests had never seen a wedding venue so beautiful. We also had the challenge of planning our wedding from out of state, but Alexis was incredibly helpful and did an amazing job keeping us on track and helping us make decisions when we couldn’t be there in person! The whole process ran smoothly and we couldn’t have asked for a better day!
I cannot say enough good things about my experience here! My ceremony was beyond perfect and beautiful! The staff and coordinators were so helpful and made my day run so effortlessly. I am so grateful for them’
Alexis- I wanted to extend a Huge THANK YOU for helping us throughout the course of planning Taylor and Kenny’s ceremony. It was ABSOLUTELY Perfect! Your help, suggestions, and understanding made their day run flawlessly. It was everything we had hoped for and so much more. So many of our guests approached up with how impressed they were with the Beauty of the day and the accommodations. Thank you from the bottom or our hearts!
Meadow Brook was hands down the best decision we could have made for our wedding day. From the wedding coordinators, to the food, to the beautiful grounds, our wedding and reception was everything we hoped it would be and more. The whole experience on the wedding day was mostly stress free, and the day of coordinating of the vendors was a huge perk. We wouldn't change a thing.
I can't say enough great things about Meadow Brook. My wedding day was absolutely spectacular!! I had no anxiety on the actual day because I knew the Meadow Brook staff would take care of it all. It was a great feeling knowing I could trust them and that they were just as attentive to details as I was. It was especially nice having our day of coordinator, Stephanie, who I felt like was more of a friend!
I always knew I wanted to get married here (even before my husband was in the picture!) and I'm so happy it worked out. Many of my guests complimented me on my choice, saying the mansion and grounds are spectacular and that it was the best wedding food they ever had! Everything was perfect. Wouldn't change a single thing! Meadow Brook is worth every penny!
Our experience with Alexis and Meadow Brook Hall was incredible. From start to finish, Alexis was so helpful getting everything straightened out and together and keeping track of our vendors. The day of went so smoothly, all thanks to her and the rest of the staff at Meadow Brook. Despite scattered thunder storms and almost having to evacuate the tent as dinner was being served (not joking!), Alexis made sure everything was handled and let us enjoy our night as much as possible. The grounds at Meadow Brook are absolutely beautiful and so well kept and manicured. The food is also incredible. I’ve been to many weddings where the food was adequate at best, but all night our guests kept coming up to us commenting on how good the food was, from the salad to dessert. Thank you again for everything you’ve done to keep our wedding day as special and worry free as it could be.
Meadow Brook Hall is everything you could possibly want in a wedding venue - reception and ceremony at the same place, great food, great alcohol options, tours of the home during cocktail hour, and a day-of coordinator is included to help make the day more relaxing for the bride and groom. Our coordinator, Alexis Duda, was SO responsive and helpful during the entire planning process. I have a pretty controlling personality and knew exactly how I wanted everything to be, and Alexis executed everything EXACTLY how I imagined it. It's been 2 months and I'm still having people reach out to me about how amazing the food was, how beautifully kept the grounds were, and how cool it was for guests to be able to tour the house. I know I wouldn't have had as perfect of a wedding if it were anywhere else.
Meadow Brook Hall was the perfect place for our wedding. My husband and I live out of state, so this was a destination wedding for us. Communication was key, and our wedding coordinator, Alexis, was fantastic. She was incredibly helpful, offering her opinion on things when we asked, and was very responsive throughout the whole process. We were supposed to have our ceremony outside, but it had rained earlier in the day, which would have made for a soggy walk down the aisle, ha ha. The staff had everything setup and ready to go for an indoor ceremony and it went perfectly. Taking pictures with a bridal party consisting of 18 people is no easy feat, but Alexis kept everyone moving and on schedule before we headed into the reception, which we greatly appreciated. The venue is stunning (both inside and out), the staff is wonderful and the food was amazing - everyone raved about it. We highly recommend Meadow Brook Hall and Alexis! THANK YOU for our dream wedding :)
Meadow Brook is -- hands down -- the BEST wedding venue in Michigan!
The staff, scenery and aesthetic made for a fairy tale wedding.
People texted us -- and still do! -- raving about their experience as a guest. And as a bride, that's the best compliment ever :)
