Pinecrest Northwoods

the property. From the moment we met them, they felt like an extension of our family and long-lost friends. Their calming presence, thoughtfulness, and support throughout the entire process made everything feel so much smoother (which is essential for anyone planning a wedding, no matter how organized you think you are). We hosted a small wedding of 28 guests and stayed on-site for nearly a week, renting out the cabins and glamping tents. The property itself is whimsical, idyllic, and straight out of a storybook. Every detail, from the main lodge to the ceremony site to the lovingly decorated cabins, was so thoughtfully done and reflected the owners’ cool style and attention to detail, creating moments everywhere you looked. Our photographer kept raving about how unique and photogenic the venue was, saying he had already taken over 1,000 photos halfway through the day. Our guests were just as enchanted, constantly commenting on how gorgeous the venue was, how beautiful the cabins were, and how special the entire experience felt. The lake access with SUPs and kayaks was a huge added bonus for our active crew and made the week feel like a perfect mix of wedding and vacation. My parents are already talking about returning for a family trip, and my husband and I can’t wait to come back with our own family for years to come. To say we’re in love with Pinecrest Northwoods would be an understatement. It holds a permanent place in our hearts. If you’re planning a smaller wedding and want a venue that embodies everything a wedding should be, not just in the property but in the people behind it, this is the place. We’ll forever be grateful to Madi and Mike for making our wedding unforgettable, and honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if my parents invited them to Christmas this year because by the end of our wedding week they had officially been adopted into the family (whether they liked it or not).

s have a summer camp weekend together at your wedding? They accommodated us quickly when the weather turned to rain on the day of, and help us do fun extras like a tea party and a fish fry the next day. & did I mention it's beautiful?

fect wedding venue. The owners and staff are all very nice, helpful and fun. They are also very creative and really helped us to have a beautiful wedding setup. We rented out the whole property and had family and friends stay onsite for the weekend. Everyone really enjoyed the cabins, they were so cozy and comfortable and had so many intentional details. There is also a wood fired sauna that we really enjoyed using for the weekend. The property and lake are scenic and peaceful. Pinecrest is the perfect place for a small wedding or just a nature getaway!

vailable for us to choose from and were very accommodating to achieve what we were looking for in a small and intimate family wedding. They clearly put a lot of work into making our wedding a success and expressed thoughtful attention to detail. Our family really enjoyed their time experiencing the beauty of the UP wilderness. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or a more helpful couple to work with.
