Book Solarium for your wedding!! This was the first venue we toured, and from the jump it was clear that this was the one for us. Having a November wedding with dreams of an outdoo...
r ceremony, Solarium was able to provide the flexibility for us to make a day-of call.
The bridal suite is gorgeous and spacious. My bridal party was able to spread out and relax while we got ready. The adjoining rental house was a bonus space that the grooms party got ready in (and served as a great private space for one of our guests that needed to pump during the wedding).
I can't say enough about THE BAR! The staff was incredible, the cocktail program is phenomenal. We had so much fun at our beverage tasting and heard so many compliments from our guests on the bar selection. The staff went above and beyond as well for a guest with celiac, ensuring that they were able to enjoy the non-beer options.
Truly truly, zero hiccups on the day of and nothing that could have gone better. Throughout the entire process from booking to last call, there was clear communication on all fronts. It was clear that the entire Solarium crew definitely takes pride in creating a great party for you and your guests.

It was the most gorgeous venue for the wedding of our dreams. The staff from day 1 was the most incredible to work with! They all treated us like royalty every step of the way. We ...
felt so confident and comfortable going into our day knowing that the staff and team wanted the best for us too. Everything was perfect. And to the brides the bridal suite is the most perfect place to get ready. We have gorgeous photos and even better memories from that morning. It was just perfect. I cannot recommend Solarium enough.
Any questions?

We’d been searching for a while. Going to wedding conventions and touring outrageously priced venues with locked in vendors, when all of a sudden my best friend finds this gem on L...
ake Michigan. It’s discrete, so you might pass it up on first glance.. but the crew that run Solarium have a secret that needs to be shared!!! Stevensville is a sleeper- and I’m SO glad we stumbled upon it. I imagine once word really gets out, you won’t be able to get your hands on them. We got married in September of 2024. The team are accommodating, creative and have a wonderful vision for the space. They allow you to pick your own vendors, but also have some amazing preferred vendors (shout out to Kitchen & Kegs out of Latitude 42- we STILL get people raving about our food a year later, 1928 Planning for helping us organize our thoughts and conceptualize our event- USE THE DAY OF PLANNING, Bee Entertainment for embracing our eclectic musical preferences and Love’s Ice Cream for delicious desserts). We’re bar people through and through and they have SUCH a stand up event bar- craft cocktails that are light years above all wedding bars I’ve been to, stellar craft beer/wine/seltzers from Watermark… and generally EVERYONE was fully invested in our vision, open to trying new things and letting us step outside the box. I can’t recall how many times they said “we’ve never done that before, let’s try it!”. It genuinely was the best day of our lives and I wish we could go back and do it over and over again. Don’t even think twice about using Watermark Solarium for your wedding. You won’t be disappointed <3

When looking for a venue, my main criteria was uniqueness and ease. The was my main reason for picking Solarium and they delivered on both of those things for me. The venue is like...
nothing I’ve been to before and I had so many guests compliment on how “cool” and “unique” it was which made my heart happy!! The mix of a greenhouse, backyard wedding, and warehouse vibe was literally perfect for us! We also LOVED how easy it was to work with Jess, Chris, and the 1928 team. Getting in contact with them was so easy and they were so kind throughout the whole process. They were flexible and giving. Even though clean up time the next day was not originally included, Chris was so kind to my family and allowed them to come back the next day to finish clean up. The air bnb next door made the bridal party’s day SO peaceful. And don’t even get me started about the beautiful getting ready space. So so happy we went with this venue and would recommend it to anyone!!!

As locals, we knew the Solarium was the perfect place for our wedding. We love the vibes and all of the greenery throughout the venue. The bridal suite is beautiful and the perfect...
place for getting ready with morning mimosas. Our ceremony was moved indoors due to weather, and the photos with the greenery wall turned out just as beautiful as they would have been outdoors. All of our guests raved about how amazing the space was, and they were super happy with the bar services provided. The Solarium is the best wedding venue in SW Michigan.

OH MY GOODNESS.
Are you an engaged person looking to have a dope wedding in south west Michigan?! Literally look NO further!
Solarium is where my now ~husband~ and I got married...
at on 3/15 and both ourselves AND our guests can’t get over the venue!
The crew at Solarium were super great with helping us plan/coordinate everything for our special day. The entire venue is NEXT LEVEL gorgeous and every corner is picture perfect. You are required to go through Solarium for beverages/alcohol but, honestly, the bar service was PHENOMENAL and the drinks were delicious and got our guests feeling ready to party!
We decided to book The Canopy (the Air BnB owned by Solarium) for the night before, of, and the night after our wedding. The house is RIGHT NEXT DOOR. Liiiiiiike!!!! My husband and I spent the night before together with most of our bridal party at the Air BnB which was so fun! It was so nice having the space the morning of for hair/makeup to start and when we had access to Solarium at 11am, it was SO easy to hop over to finish the getting ready process! Even better, it was so nice getting to enjoy our wedding, have a few (many) drinks and be able to just walk next door to pass out.
We TRULY could not recommend Solarium enough for any future married couples!! The space is gorg, the drinks are bomb, and above else, the people running the show are THE BEST!!

ed the bridal suite to do our hair and makeup and the natural lighting in there is incredible for getting amazing getting ready pictures! Given it is a brewery, they had a fantastic drink package and had a lot of options depending on what you were interested in providing the guests. We did a fully stocked bar, including a champagne toast, signature cocktails, and the mimosas and macs. They allowed us to really customize the space and have an amazing relationship with one of the local wedding planners which made our experience on the wedding day a breeze!

This venue was amazing! We got married here on 7/30/2022 and had such an easy time planning our wedding. We worked with Jess and Ali over the last seven months to plan our perfect ...
day. They helped us design custom cocktails and had great beers on draft that were brewed by Watermark. We got so many compliments from our guests on the venue. The bridal suite was also amazing. We just got dressed here but it was a great space for amazing getting ready pictures. I would absolutely recommend this venue.
