Of The Land

to Of the Land was amazing! We booked this venue when it was still Green Gardens and the attention to detail on the rebrand throughout the property really shines through.

when we got engaged and my heart was still set on Of the Land to host our wedding. As a Wedding Photographer I highly recommend Of the Land to ANY of my future couples. As a now past Bride at Of the Land I could rave about Of the Land to anyone who is looking for a wedding venue. I simply love this venue so very much and the fact that Trent & his wife Bridgett do such an incredible job and have the best customer service is just icing on the cake. They are the sweetest people to work with and I hope to continue to work with them for many future weddings because as I have told them if I could just shoot at the farm every weekend I totally would. It is such a goregous location year round. When you live in MI and you never know what the weather is going to be like for your wedding day but at Of the Land their greenhouse is such a perfect indoor location for the ceremony in the event it does rain. There is literally no doubt that you should book with them! You won't regret it! :)

EOUS venue, the owners, the staff and the food. I saw that it had great ratings ahead of time but I was blown away when I saw it in the spring and even more so when I saw it the day of wedding. Trent the owner kept telling me to wait til I saw it in the fall, it was STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t thank them enough for making this mom’s dream for her daughter’s wedding come true ! Everyone there raved about everything. And I’m not kidding when I say they go above and beyond to help. Thanks again to Trent, Bridgett and entire staff.

l sides. Bridgett’s food was incredible. Their staff was so helpful and respectful and really payed attention to every little detail. They handled any curve ball with the utmost professionalism. I would highly recommend this venue and these people. They are the real salt of the earth. The space they provide essentially decorates itself. Their landscape is filled with flowers and fresh vegetation that hosts an unforgettable experience.

ests on the beauty of the venue! The food was amazing. Thank you Bridgett and Trent for your professionalism and help towards bringing our big day together!

eally more.

ecorating. Trent, the owner, is super easy going and helpful when we accidentally left things at/took things from the venue. Guests couldn't get over how beautiful the venue was! So glad to have chosen them for our wedding day!

ng sure that everything was perfect. We had so much freedom in designing our wedding, and the staff helped bring our vision to life. We seriously can’t say enough good things about Green Gardens and our guests can’t stop telling us how beautiful it was and how I much fun they had. As an added bonus, we love that they have the Air BNB flat so we have the option to go back for a weekend anniversary stay later!

scheduled tour and Trent (the owner) was incredibly kind and showed us around the property. The property is LITERALLY breathtaking. There's an absolutely stunning greenhouse where one can have a wedding and reception in, with cascading foliage and greenery and chandeliers. There is also a farmhouse for the wedding party to get ready in, and plenty of room for people to relax and mingle in! I love how spacious, but also how quaint and beautiful this venue was. We were able to cut back on so much unnecessary decorating because this place was so gorgeous on it's own!! Trent was more than accommodating! We asked if we could have access to the farmhouse earlier than on our contract and we also asked if we were able to share the day with our dog. Both times I came to him for an inquiry, he was completely open and was very flexible which we were so appreciative of. The venue coordinator, Tera, was fantastic. My mother was very taken by her and her responsiveness to our questions and emails. When we got to meet her the day of the rehearsal she was super nice and everyone was working so hard to make our dream and vision a reality! Although we did not take advantage of the farmhouse weekend, it was so nice we were able to get around in such a lovely home. The farmhouse has charm and it really makes you feel like a bride getting around for your wedding! Lastly, everyone, literally everyone who attended our wedding was so blown away with this beautiful venue and I couldn't agree more! I only hope that someday I can attend a wedding here as a guest to bask in more of it's beauty! When we viewed venues for our wedding we only looked here because we knew before we even went that it was the place for us. Perfection is close to the word I'm looking for, but even then, I'm not sure it can even describe our time here with Green Gardens.

ur family in the farmhouse, and the lucious greens covering the greenhouse and allowing our flower bill to stay down. The day was a dream come true. Thank you GG!

fulness of the staff, so once we saw the reception venue, it was an easy decision. They had everything we needed for a bonfire at the rehearsal dinner and for the reception they had all their yard games out for guests to use. They did the flowers for all the tables and the place looked spectacular! We still have guests telling us what a great wedding it was. We enthusiastically recommend Green Gardens for your wedding!! Trent, Ruthie and their staff are great and will make you feel welcome from the moment you step into the farm.

rly! You will not be disappointed.

the venue. Such an amazing place!

ore help than we could have ever asked for. Planning with Green Gardens has made the wedding planning experience so amazing. In addition to the great people working at the farm, the venue is to die for. Its gorgeous in pictures but they truly don't do it justice. If you are even slightly interested in Green Gardens, I urge you to book a tour. You will absolutely not regret it. My dream wedding would not be possible without Green Gardens.

ate your wedding day. Everyone at my wedding remarked on how beautiful and unique this event space is. Anne and her team are also very attentive to what your vision is and are so helpful in putting together your big day to make it perfect. So many options available and don’t forget to rent the farmhouse for your wedding weekend. It made everything so much easier to have a private space to relax and get ready with your girls! 100% would recommend!!!

iday-Monday rental so my bridal party could stay on site. I came early with some family to set up all my decor friday, during the day. We hosted the rehearsal and dinner right on site by the bonfire pit (with the huge grill). Saturday morning we all got ready right in the house (hair and makeup came to us), then on with the event. Then Sunday morning we woke up, made pancakes, opened presents, then packed up all of our decor and stuff we brought with us, cleaned up a few things, and were on our way. Not only did we get all of that, Ann was there all Friday and Saturday to help with ANYTHING I needed. I got to have my dog be my flower girl (not allowed in the house, which is fine, hotel was pet friendly), AND ANN DID ALL OF MY FLOWERS. With it being a greenhouse and outdoor venue, I didn't need that many. There are 20 floral centerpieces included in the price, then I added on my bridesmaid bouquets, mother bouquets, 6 corsages, and my bridal bouquet. And they were BEAUTIFUL (for like $400 total)! They have a nice vendor list to help you find whatever you need, since it is a la carte, but I find that it helped me save money in the long run. I bought quite a bit of decor (because I wanted), and for the wedding we probably spent about $13,000 for 135 people (but had a lot of alcohol left over, so could have spent lest) Seriously, this is an amazing venue!!!

d, fresh ingredients and they were extremely accommodating for our guests with allergies. We had people who were vegan, vegetarian and had nut and gluten allergies, and Bridgett was not phased by any of this. Our menu included vegetarian and chicken enchiladas with fresh salsa, yogurt sauce, avocado slaw, salad, cornbread, and herb butter. It was a LOT of food! All of our guests left happy and full. Regarding communication -- Bridgett was pretty busy in the months leading up to the wedding and would sometime take a week to respond to emails. This made us a little nervous but in all fairness she warned us about this. We were happy that she was was very attentive the week before the wedding and called us multiple times to discuss the menu. Something to note for those people who like to plan everything ahead of time -- because OG only uses seasonal ingredients, the menu typically won't be finalized until the week or two before the event. Also, you have to be a little flexible because they rely on what is in season. We were so impressed with the menu in the end, even though it was a little different than we we had planned on initially. Bridgett really listened to our concerns and was able to accommodate us while staying true to the vision of her company. Regarding the food truck -- Our guests loved that this wasn't the typical buffet or plated dinner. The truck has an awning as well, so our guests didn't get too wet even though it was raining. And... the food was piping hot! We would highly recommend Organic Gypsy. It was fun to do something a little bit different at our wedding and we loved that the food was delicious, fresh, local, and totally unique!

that I'm still dreaming about, to natural soda floats that we somehow all made room for despite having come up to the truck for seconds (and thirds!) of the dinner entree. Everyone from our super health-conscious vegan guest to my meat-and-potatoes dad not only enjoyed, but enthusiastically commented on how stellar the food was, which was definitely not something we expected with such a wide range of tastes in our guest list. This is a professional, kind, rockstar team that was simple to work with and truly delivered. Thank you!

olutely gorgeous and easily housed all 12 of us without feeling crowded. The kitchen was extra large and perfect for cooking large meals. We ended up cooking the food for our own wedding (about 100 guests total), so the use of the walk in cooler, as well as having the vegetables supplied by the owners was phenomenal! The owners were incredibly accommodating throughout the entire process, helping us with the logistics of booking, suggesting different hotels in the area, as well as getting the vegetables we needed and always offered that if they didn't grow it they would find someone who did. They also provided for all of the floral arrangements, which were perfect and stress-free. We loved being able to support the farm in multiple capacities with our wedding. In the days leading up, the owners, and those they have employed to help on the farm, were incredibly helpful and friendly, at points anticipating our needs before we even realized them. The venue itself is gorgeous, no need to get a bunch of decorations, nature does it herself. Our guests loved being able to explore the farm, see what was being grown, and enjoyed the fact they got to taste it all with dinner. We were also able to have a bonfire and s'mores at the wedding, which was a perfect way to close out the evening. Overall, we can not speak highly enough of Green Gardens as a place to host a wedding. The day was perfect and made possible by the awesome people at Green Gardens. If your are looking for a relaxed, friendly, and unique wedding location, look no further.

ed to wander around inside, ostensibly to use the bathroom, but really just to admire the beautiful historic house with all its hidden closets and spacious rooms. We managed to house our entire bridal party in the farmhouse for the weekend, which was a great convenience for the out-of-towners. In addition, we used the huge wrap-around front porch for the after-wedding brunch. The grounds are also lovely. In the course of the weekend, we had the ceremony and reception outside near the pole barns, and there was more than enough space for lawn games and lounging in the shade. The pool and firepit were also big hits with guests, and we even projected a movie on the side of one of the hoophouses later on. There was plenty of space for everything we hoped to do, and the amenities were accessible and plentiful. Finally (and this is important for anyone who might like to host a wedding on the property), the owners are two of the loveliest people you could ever hope to meet. They went above and beyond in terms of helping us get the farm and the house ready for the wedding, from mowing all the lawns a few days in advance to running guests from the parking area to the ceremony in a golf cart on the day of. They were quick to respond to all of our many questions, both on our wedding weekend and in the months before. They even sold us some of their delicious veggies to serve at the wedding. All in all, this is a fantastic place to hold a wedding. I highly recommend it.

rought it to life. Her response time is very fast, which is always nice when working with vendors and she provided me with her input and a quote in no time. Prior to the wedding, she contacted my coordinator in order to iron out any details and at the wedding, she showed up with her adorable truck and set up without a huge fuss! She brought lights, a chalk board, and her own plates and napkins which made it a piece of cake for me as the bride. Needless to say, I heard RAVE reviews all night about how delicious her sandwiches were and received many compliments on her service! I would recommend The Organic Gypsy to anyone in the western Michigan area! You won't be disappointed !
