Petite Acres is a French countryside-inspired wedding venue set on 4.25 acres in the heart of New Buffalo, MI. Tucked in a charming vacation town, it offers the feel of a destination wedding — without the travel.
At the center of the property is Château Aster, our signature stone-and-brick venue, designed to evoke the elegance of a timeless French manor. Inside, you’ll find soaring ceilings, exposed beams, custom chandeliers, and arched windows that open to the Great Lawn, gardens, and walking paths — creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
Couples and guests enjoy a full weekend experience with 12 private guest homes on-site. Maison Foxglove, a four-bedroom residence beside the lawn, is ideal for welcome drinks, getting ready, or a morning-after brunch.
Amenities like a wellness studio, sauna, firepit lounges, and immersive landscaping make Petite Acres a place to gather and celebrate. We host a limited number of weddings each season so every couple receives our full attention and care.
