Natural Northern Michigan Beauty
AWARD WINNER (5X)
Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
Set in the hills of Northern Michigan near Traverse City, MI, Timberlee Hills is a wedding venue that boasts a panoramic view of Leelanau County. During a search for their own wedding venue, Mike and Kelsey Zaryczny fell in love with the scenery and potential of Timberlee Hills. The pair saw it as fate when the property went up for sale in 2017 and have been hosting weddings ever since.
Once a lively ski hill in the 1970s, the Zarycznys transformed Timberlee Hills to host their loved ones on their wedding day. This project is what sparked their passion and desire to do the same for other couples. The wide, open space leaves endless room for possibilities. The outdoor ceremony area surrounded by the beauty of the hills offers privacy in a natural setting. For an intimate wedding, the fireplace room is a cozy spot for guests of up to 70 to gather, while indoor and outdoor reception spaces are also available for up to 250 guests. With a great outside space, the venue has optional enhancements such as yard games and a bonfire to add a little something different to your wedding reception.
There is nothing the team hasn’t thought of, with ample parking, an outdoor backup ceremony site- under the covered patio, and a versatile indoor/outdoor reception space for guests to celebrate. The venue also offers a wedding coordinator, staff to coordinate the ceremony, and setup and teardown of the tables and chairs. When it comes to your magical day, Mike, Kelsey and team know from experience how to plan and host the wedding of your dreams.

Jesse was our event coordinator and venue support from Timberlee! She was everything we could ask for in communication and navigating the process and day. So many hugs that it would be ok, follow ups on questions were great and quick! We enjoyed working with her so much through this process and she did wonders for us to get small details we wanted happen! Don't hesitate! she is worth it! Timberlee as a venue was beautiful! We wanted a fall landscape and this venue sits on a ski hill with a valley view. We had the perfect weekend to take advantage of the colors there. We loved the dance floor being outside under a covered porch, and it cooled us off as we danced the night away. We also took advantage of having a fire pit there and it was a hit and a great fall add to the night. So many picture opportunities just at the venue itself! Highly recommend start to finish! It was exactly what we wanted and was looking for!

You literally cannot find a prettier place to get married. They have the prettiest backdrop of trees and hills behind the altar you will be standing at. Your wedding photos will look absolutely stunning because of this. Even if it rains the covered porch still has the same beautiful view for you to get married under. The indoor dinner area is gorgeous with lights hanging from the ceiling, very "warm" and welcoming. The covered porch is awesome for dancing since you get a cool nighttime breeze. They have fire pits. And above all, the master behind everything: Jessie. Jessie is the day of coordinator, the coordinator to all things wedding day and is the best, most kind person to work with. The day of our wedding she was constantly on the move helping in any way possible to make our day perfect. She is such a calming presence and supported me before walking down the aisle. The beauty of the venue alone is enough to convince you to get married here, but what you don't know is Jessie, alone should be the reason you decide to get married here. I cannot recommend this place enough. This venue is the reason I will think for the rest of my life of how beautiful and perfect my wedding was. As I'm writing this review my husband even said "god I'm so glad we got married there".

We couldn't have asked for a better venue for my daughter's wedding than Timberlee Hills! From the moment we arrived, Jessie and her team made us feel welcome and supported every step of the way.
The setting was absolutely breathtaking, with beautiful views that added to the magical atmosphere of the day. Jessie was incredibly attentive and worked tirelessly to ensure everything went smoothly. Her attention to detail and ability to accommodate our requests were truly impressive.
Our guests were in awe of the venue, and we received countless compliments on the gorgeous surroundings. We are so grateful to Jessie and the entire Timberlee Hills team for making this day so special and unforgettable. If you're looking for a stunning venue with exceptional service, look no further!

Timberlee Hills was such an incredible venue for our September wedding. The property itself is beautiful, but seeing everything come together on the big day was surreal. Jessie is hands down the best! She is the reason why our experience was so positive from day one. She is the kind of person you want on your team throughout the wedding planning journey and day-of… just so supportive and amazing at what she does. Our guests are still talking about the views and the covered outdoor dance floor!! TH is such a special place and I cannot recommend it enough.

What a magical day. My husband and I could not have picked a better venue if we tried. Multiple people told us it was the most beautiful wedding they've ever been to and we barely had to decorate because that is just how amazing the scenery is at Timberlee.
This would have made it a great day, but the Timberlee staff made it a dream. They were so thoughtful and accommodating from when we booked the venue and the day of they made sure everything got done, so my husband and I could just enjoy the day. Anything we needed day of, Jessie was on top of it. You will not regret choosing this as your venue!

One of the best decisions we made with our wedding was having it at Timberlee Hills. All people could talk about was the view and how everything ran so smoothly. This is all due to the amazing staff, especially Jessie, who went above and beyond to make the whole wedding stress free and fun! Jessie truly is a rockstar and never stopped moving all day! She was on top of EVERYTHING, making our lives so much easier and allowing us to enjoy the day without having to worry about all the details. Timberlee Hills will forever hold a special place in our heart!

Truly our venue was the star of the show. I swear we got all four seasons on our late June wedding, but Jessie and the crew made us feel so confident they could handle absolutely anything that could arise. Everyone was so prompt, I was able to focus on getting ready and spending quality time with my bridesmaids because the staff knew what to do without issue. The bar was well-staffed and our guests absolutely LOVED the lawn. The dance floor is pretty open, and even though it wasn’t packed all night, no one felt that as a lack because there were so many great things to do and people stayed late anyway and had a great time! We booked our wedding from our home in Phoenix, and I literally didn’t see it until the day before our wedding. I wanted a spot that would allow us to enjoy a good amount of outside time being Pure Michigan, but also had accommodations for rain or heat in case the weather wasn’t cooperating. Everyone absolutely raved about the scenery and how great the venue was. It truly was the star of the show. The most memorable part of the day was during dinner, we had a freak 30 second downpour on an otherwise beautiful sunny day, and immediately after we got a double rainbow, and the end of it was right in front of us. We like to think it was my late mother-in-law shining down on her baby boy on his wedding day, and we would’ve missed it if it wasn’t for the beautiful views and indoor/outdoor space with doors that open out to the patio for a more “Al fresco” experience.

I don’t think our wedding would have been as perfect as it was without the help of the Timberlee Hills staff, especially our day-of coordinator Jessie. She was absolutely incredible from the day we signed the contract. She gave the best vendor recommendations, gave the best advice and guidance, and made sure our wedding was exactly the way we wanted it. If I could give her 10/10 stars, I would.

This venue was perfect in every way and the staff were just as amazing!!! From the initial tour to our wedding day Jessie helped answer all of our questions and allowed us back to view the site while planning too. The venue is gorgeous, clean, maintained so well, and allows for a lot of options to personalize your big day. When rehearsing and on our big day Jessie was always around to help our planners and be a kind face on the day. Truly couldn’t have picked a better venue!

Timberlee Hills was the most perfect spot for our wedding. The views/location alone had us from the moment we pulled into the drive. Jessie, the coordinator, was awesome from the first day we snuck up to see the venue. She worked some magic to help make our wedding day absolutely perfect and her staff was amazing. Every one of our guests raved about how beautiful the venue was. Our only regret is not getting more time to soak up the views and the scenery. Perfect place for the picturesque up north wedding of your dreams!

“Para Sempre”
Claudia & David
We literally can’t say enough positive things about this venue and the people who support the space. We worked with Jessie for two years on our dream day and in the end it took a village of dedicated support to not only ensure we had a perfect day, but one where every person who stepped into the venue felt welcomed and excited to celebrate. Where Jessie ensured we were ready for wedding week, Jolene stepped in once it was game time. The support, professionalism and FUN we had setting everything up and having our wedding will live in our memories for the rest of our lives. The outdoor aisle was beautiful, the sun came out for a beautiful September day, and our reception area was a twinkle light dream. While we partied and forgot to walk around the grounds, the land this property is on is breathtaking and the team and owners have added personal touches throughout it. These are some of the best people you will ever work with, and we were so grateful we got to say “si, para sempre”, at Timberlee.

Where do I start!? This is the venue you want. I’m a type A person and the staff here was absolutely amazing!!! From the bartenders to the coordinators! During the dancing I had one of the bartenders actually come up to me to ask if I wanted something because he hadn’t seen me ask for a drink all night! The assistant coordinator was with me before I wanted down the aisle and I was freaking out because I hate public speaking but had to say my own vows in front of everyone! She was so helpful in keeping me calm and confidence I needed! Jessie herself is a dream come true! She asked if there was issues between people she needed to look out for and if something went wrong, I didn’t know it because she took care of it! Everyone still talks about my wedding and how gorgeous it was! And they keep adding to the venue to make it even better! Thank you so much for making my dream wedding come true! Might just make my baby shower there so I can go back again!

Timberlee Hills was a fantastic venue to work with, and the wedding was a wonderful experience start to finish. Jessie and the crew at Timberlee were extremely professional, warm, and understanding. They were willing to be flexible to make sure the wedding was tailored to our needs, and the second a planning “to do” appeared in my mind, there was an email in my inbox with next steps and easy-to-use tools and forms. Communication was really easy. We felt really supported knowing that although this was our first time planning a wedding, it is NOT Jessie’s first time coordinating one, and she would not let something important pass us by! On the day of the wedding, Jessie and the team arranged everything so smoothly, including little touches like having a margarita ready to go for the marriage certificate signing. :) Everything was beautiful, there were no surprises, and we did not have to worry once about weather, parking, catering space, day-of coordination, bathroom set-up, or any of the other “what-ifs” that can arise when picking a venue. We’d go back and get married at Timberlee every time.

We recently got married at Timberlee Hills and it exceeded our expectations. The pictures online don’t do it justice. Many of our guests commented how picturesque the scenery and the grounds were, and we agree! Guests also loved dancing on the outdoor patio. Me and my family don’t have enough positive things to say about the venue coordinator, Jessie. She is beyond amazing! Not a single thing went wrong during set up or the day of due to her hard work and care to make the day special.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Timberlee Hills on May 13 and it was amazing!! The venue itself is beautiful, we had the ceremony outside but there was an "indoor" option in case of bad weather and it still would have been great. Jessie, the day of coordinator, goes above and beyond and really should be titled as something more than that. We had been planning for over a year and she would always quickly respond to my questions, ideas and helped SO MUCH with making sure everything was perfect. The venue would not be the same without her.

Timberlee Hills was everything I could have asked for in a wedding. The venue itself was a beautiful setting and was so picturesque. The Day-of Coordinator Jessie was also amazing and she was quick to respond whenever you had any questions. She handled everything so well and it made this experience so much better. The day of the wedding went so smoothly, I did not have to worry about anything besides getting ready and having a good time! I would 100% recommend this venue to anyone as I could not have had a better wedding day!

Timberlee Hills is a stunning venue! The first time we walked through it we knew it was the perfect place for us to get married. The views are unbeatable and the indoor areas are so beautiful we barely needed to add any décor. Jessie (the coordinator) was the absolute BEST from day 1 - answered all of our questions, walked us through the venue many times and overall helped make our day go as smoothly as possible. Last minute changes? No problem - Jessie made sure everything was exactly as we had hoped for. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking to have an unforgettable wedding. We love Timberlee! Also, the owner slings the absolutely delicious late night pizza - doesn't get much better than that!!

Timberlee Hills is the PERFECT location for a wedding!! If you are looking to have a nothern michigan wedding with beautiful views inside and out then this is the place for you. Jessie, the wedding coordinator, is absolutely amazing at her job and will be there to assist you the entire time. Thanks to her, I was able to enter into my wedding day knowing I was taken care of and that everything would flow perfectly. There could not be a more gorgeous ceremony location than at their outdoor location overlooking the beautiful outdoors. It is the perfect combination of an indoor/outdoor wedding venue so you can have the best of both worlds! If I could experience my wedding day all over again I would do it in a heartbeat thanks to Timberlee Hills!!

What to say but WOW?!
As proud WMU alumni, we were pretty excited to learn about the Bronco connection with warm and welcome folks at Timberlee Hills. What we couldn’t have guessed was just how amazing they would make everything else.
The venue itself is just stunning. The views, the vibes, and the ability to do it all in one place?! Amazing. What really sold us? Jessie.
From day dot, Jessie was amazing with communication. She gave us recommendations that made our wedding better. She helped us with details, planning, concerns, but most importantly? She celebrated wins with us, and she made sure we got to have special moments during the busy wedding day.
Timberlee Hills isn’t just a gorgeous spot for a ceremony and reception, it’s a place that will help you create cherished moments before, during, and after your wedding. I don’t think a review can fully capture how happy we are that we had our wedding at Timberlee Hills, but we hope it gives you some idea.
12 out of 10 stars!

We had our wedding reception here on 7/30/22 and it was better than we ever could have imagined. The day went so smooth from start to finish with the help of Jessie. She is absolutely amazing and goes above and beyond to make sure the day is everything you want it to be. On Friday before the wedding, we walked into a beautiful venue basically ready for the reception, all we had to do was put up a few signs and our centerpieces on the tables. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, spacious, and has tons of options for games, late night snacks and other amenities. Our family and friends couldn’t stop talking about the beautiful view from the dance floor (which can be outside!!). All in all, we couldn’t have been happier with the venue we chose and the support we had and couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Timberlee Hills was the perfect wedding venue from start to finish! We weren't able to travel to MI to look at venues right away and so they were able to send us videos of the venue and they were absolutely stunning so we booked sight unseen! The venue is gorgeous and truly gave us the perfect Northern Michigan summertime views/vibe that we were looking for. We traveled to MI several times before the wedding and each time they were super flexible about us visiting the venue and working with our difficult schedules. Jessie is the event coordinator and she is AMAZING! She truly goes above and beyond helping, not only on the day of the wedding but she helped during the planning process too. She was easy to get in contact with through email or over the phone and she was so willing to answer all my questions and offer suggestions. I can't say enough good things about her and about the other staff members at the venue! We were able to decorate the night before our wedding because there wasn't a Friday wedding and so that reduced the day of stress so much! The ceremony rehearsal went smoothly and efficiently and Jessie coordinated the ceremony perfectly the day of too! They have great beer and wine selections included in all of their different packages and we did the late night pizza option which exceeded our expectations! Overall, I was so impressed with Timberlee Hills and Jessie and would highly recommend them to anyone who asks! If you are looking for a fun indoor/outdoor wedding venue with beautiful views and great staff, this is the place to go!

The absolute best choice we made wedding planning was choosing Timberlee Hills. Everything about the staff and the property was perfect. Jessie, the coordinator, was incredibly helpful. She responds to emails/text so fast. Her natural ability to predict and take care of what needs to be done is invaluable. Jessie made me feel like I had a friend, not just someone we hired, who wanted to take amazing care of our wedding.
The lawn/garden areas were wonderfully maintained. The owners, landscapers, bar staff, and coordinators take immense pride in their property and it really shows. We got married in late May when the trees were blooming and spring plants were thriving. It was more beautiful than I could have imagined!

Absolutely stunning venue and AMAZING staff!! The views from our ceremony were incredible, we had lots of compliments from our guests! And the inside reception was just as gorgeous. They have a backup rain plan, huge space for food and offer lots of fun add-ons like a popcorn bar and a mimosa bar for when my bridesmaids and I were getting ready. So professional, our wedding went on seamlessly! Jessie and the rest of the team at Timberlee are very knowledgeable and helpful. Run don’t walk to Timberlee to book your wedding!

Our wedding was seamless at Timberlee. This venue is absolutely incredible. Not only for the view, but for the service as well. We had our original date booked for last October and had to postpone. There were limited new dates at this amazing venue but they worked with me every step of the way into my new date. When we booked last year there was a different coordinator on staff. Their new coordinator Jessie reached out to me a few months ago to tell me she is up to speed on my wedding. And she was!! Jessie was INCREDIBLE! She was always so helpful & extremely responsive to my 1000 daily questions & emails. She even let us tour again this year since it had been 2.5 years since we booked.
The day before the wedding we were able to set up and she was amazing! She helped us through the entire process and even the rehearsal. She provided us with so much guidance.
On the wedding day Jessie really out did herself. I had wedding guests making comments to me about how amazing she was!! She was there for every moment and every "issue" yet, she was almost invisible. She did so much for us without us even asking, she just knew what to do. Our day was absolutely flawless because of her.
Mike & Kelsey are such a sweet couple who truly love what they do & they go in with their whole heart. Mike was there with positive vibes, comfort, & encouragement when I lined up to walk the isle.
Jessie's assistant Claudia was there with me as well before walking the isle. She made sure I was not seen by the groom and she get me fluffed, puffed, & ready to go.
My wedding was 4 weeks ago and I am still getting compliments about how amazing the wedding & the venue was.
There is honestly not enough I can say to describe how amazing Timberlee Hills is. If I did it all over again, I would do it at Timberlee.

My husband and I had originally planned a spring wedding for 2020, but ended up postponing several times during the pandemic. Kelsey was very understanding through the whole process and did a great job of walking us through several options. The day of our wedding, Jessie was our point person, making sure everything went exactly to plan. She did an excellent job behind the scenes, coordinating the vendors and helping to ensure that we has a safe, COVID-19 free event.
The venue was beautiful, and the convenience of having the ceremony and the reception at the same location allowed everyone to focus on the moment and truly enjoy themselves. We highly recommend Timberlee Hills and their amazing team.

Timberlee Hills was the PERFECT venue for our wedding. We toured a few venues in the area and immediately fell in love with Timberlee. The ceremony site alone is gorgeous with the trees and hills in the background, but the indoor area for the reception is beautiful as well. It was the perfect place to pull my 'rustic yet elegant' dreams together for our wedding. The venue's coordinator, Jessie, was absolutely amazing and was along every step of the way to help answer questions and coordinate the perfect event. She helped handle any last minute issues, was very attentive with answering emails within one to two days, and gave endless recommendations and guidance for setting up the venue. I definitely let Jessie take the lead on setting up the tables and she did not disappoint! Everything was beautiful and the layout was better than I could've imagined. The owners, Mike and Kelsey, were also very quick to answer any questions and were on site the day of the wedding to help ensure everything went off without a hitch. Overall, we could not recommend Timberlee enough and hope that everyone we know in the future gets married here so we can keep coming back to this beautiful venue!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!! This place was exactly what I was looking for with my dream wedding. The location is absolutely gorgeous! The ceremony location overlooks beautiful rolling hills covered in trees. I got married in August because I wanted more greenery to go with my theme, but I can only imagine how breathtaking it is in the fall too! Everything from inside the reception hall to out on the lawn for the ceremony is so picturesque, it was absolutely perfect!! And if that’s not enough to convince you to book this place, the people who run it are top notch as well. The owners, Mike and Kelsey, were actively involved in everything that day. They were even the bartenders at my reception, which I absolutely loved because I didn’t want anyone going overboard and causing a scene. They both assured me that they would keep an eye on everyone and cut anyone off if they needed to. The wedding coordinator, Jessie, was on it every step of the way as well. She was available to answer any questions I had, big or small. She made sure everyone was where they needed to be at the right time and made sure everything ran smoothly the whole day. Everything went off without a hitch thanks to these guys! I cannot recommend them enough!! I was able to turn my dream wedding into reality thanks to this place and, I am so incredibly grateful for all the hard work they put in to make my dreams come true!!

This was the perfect venue for our wedding. Working with the coordinator, Jess, was great. She was responsive, helpful, kind and understanding. During set up and rehearsal, she was on top of helping with set up, and helpful to make sure things looked like I wanted. On the day of, she was great about moving decorations to adapt as the event moved on and still have things looking great. She was also super flexible with us about where we had our dance floor space (we moved outside because it was cooler outside), moving our cake cutting outside as well for lighting and again because it was cooler. They were also very understanding when our guest list was smaller than expected and things started breaking up earlier than planned, we had wanted a popcorn bar in the evening but opted not to at the last minute and they had no problem with it and refunded without making me feel bad. The venue was absolutely beautiful with an 'outdoorsy', woodsy feel. We heard from many of our guests what a beautiful venue and gorgeous place for a wedding it was. And we agree! Such a lush, green back drop for our special day, it made for some wonderful photos! I would highly recommend this venue! We loved it!

While Timberlee Hills is a beautiful venue any bride would absolutely love, I have to say the wedding planner, Jessie, was what set them apart. Jessie was beyond amazing! I truly have never met anyone like her!
She planned, considering details that few would even think of;
she decorated with skills of an artist;
she hosted as if the event was her own;
she lugged ladders, tables, chairs and so many other big, heavy things effortlessly;
and she was so calm, cool and collected the entire time!
I am beyond appreciative! She made my daughter's wedding a dream come true for all of us!
Despite the beauty of the venue (which it really is beautiful), you won't find a Jessie anywhere else!
Thanks so much Jessie! ❤️

We had our wedding here at the end of July and WOW, everything was truly perfect - and not by accident. Everyone at Timberlee went above and beyond to make our wedding special. The weather was not cooperating, raining all morning until right before the ceremony, and even on the short notice the staff was able to move the chairs back outside for us. It was so worth it because the views are totally unforgettable. After the ceremony the patio space allowed us to have the indoor/outdoor feel we wanted for the reception, dancing on the patio and all, and we got to end the night with a bonfire. Truly a dream.
I want to give a special shout out to Jessie the coordinator - she was the best! She helped in so many ways all weekend, since we chose to do oue rehersal dinner at the venue. Every little thing she did all weekend really made my wedding perfect.
I cannot recommend this place enough!

Timberlee Hills was the most perfect venue for our wedding day. I cannot say enough great things about the venue, staff (Kelsey, Mike, and Jessie), communication, flexibility, and entire wedding planning journey. We originally planned to get married in September 2020 but decided to postpone to April 2021 due to the pandemic. The owners and wedding planner were great at communicating and being flexible. A huge thank you for sticking with us since 2019! You are all so amazing and our day would not have been as special without you all. The venue is simply stunning- gorgeous views everywhere you look. It is breathtaking! We also had them make pizzas for a late night snack, they were delicious. We are so grateful that we shared this experience with the staff of Timberlee Hills. These individuals are beyond thoughtful, driven, and committed to making your day your dream come true. I highly recommend getting married or hosting an event at Timberlee Hills.

This venue is absolutely stunning! I fell in love the moment I walked in and was getting the tour. We worked with Jessie as our coordinator and she goes above and beyond. She answered all of our questions and even held a date for us while we considered our options. We changed plans to a different style of wedding but I highly recommend working with Jessie and the rest of the staff to create your magical day! Beautiful spot for indoor and outdoor venues, you won’t be disappointed!

You will not find a more beautiful wedding venue in northern Michigan than Timberlee Hills! It's situated on top of a hill that overlooks the beautiful Michigan trees. The views are absolutely breathtaking! Our guests were blown away and said it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended.
Kelsey and Mike are the owners and are the sweetest people! They were accommodating and very friendly. They gave us a tour of the venue (which is gorgeous if I hadn't said that already) and were incredibly transparent. They also have the cutest dog!
Jessie is the wedding coordinator who comes with the venue (need I say more) and she is literally one of the best people I've ever met. She was responsive and transparent, and has an answer for any question you could ever have throughout the planning process. She was incredibly helpful and patient, and put my stressed out mind at ease. I knew everything would be perfect the day of our wedding because she was there. And it was LITERALLY perfect. Everything went exactly as we planned.
I was very hesitant to plan for an outdoor ceremony because we all know how Michigan weather goes, but they have a great backup plan where you can still enjoy the incredible views. We were fortunate to have perfect weather, but I was confident that it would be just as beautiful even if it had rained. The venue is gorgeous inside and out. It doesn't need much decorating because it's so naturally beautiful.
Timberlee Hills is the only choice for your picture perfect northern Michigan wedding. Our day was perfect and it was due in large part to this venue.

Timberlee hills was everything we could have dreamed for our perfect day and more. Kelsey, Mike and Jessie have been absolutely wonderful to work with. Jessie was amazing and helpful with the million questions I had up to our wedding. She made the whole planning process way less stressful (even during a pandemic). The venue has stunning views outside and a beautifully redone inside. We had so many complements from our guests! You can’t find a more quintessential northern Michigan venue! We highly recommend using timberlee for your special day!!

Timberlee Hills was the most wonderful venue location for my wedding in May. The scenery was stunning and the venue was very spacious and beautifully updated. Kelsey, Mike, and Jessie make a great team. They were all hands on deck in making sure my day ran smoothly. Jessie was very responsive and helpful in the days leading up to my wedding, and was just as excited for my big day as I was! She was eager to help and was very knowledgeable. I was able to enjoy getting ready the day of, knowing everything was in her hands. I couldn’t recommend Timberlee Hills enough. The location, amenities, and staff make it the perfect wedding venue!

Our wedding last week at Timberlee was amazing. The venue is absolutely beautiful and spacious, all my guests were blown away by views. Jessie was also amazing to work with before and during the wedding. She was well organized, helpful, and upbeat and really went out of her way to make our day perfect. Could not be happier with our venue choice and would recommend it to anyone!

Timberlee Hills was incredible for our wedding this past weekend. Jessie especially was extremely responsive and so fun to work with. She was thoughtful and answered all of the hundreds of questions we had for her throughout the weeks leading up. She kept the event running smoothly and I never worried for second on our day. Go see this venue in person - you will be blown away. And your guests will be too . We were so lucky to have fabulous weather but the venue is beautiful in rain or shine. We could not have asked for a more perfect day and we are so grateful to the Timberlee team for making it so!

Planning a wedding during a pandemic is clearly not ideal, however, Timberlee (Mike, Kelsey and Micha) were beyond fabulous. They were understanding, great listeners and did absolutely everything they could with the circumstances to make our day special and safe. We are so grateful to be able to say we had our wedding at Timberlee and would highly recommend the facility to anyone!! Thank you for making our day so very special.

5/5 Stars!! Timberlee Hills was the perfect place to get married! Planning a wedding amid a pandemic is something my husband and I would never wish upon anyone but Kelsey and Mike, and Micah as well, contributed to a stress-free and yet, flexible planning process and wedding day!
It ended up pouring rain the day-of but the transition from the outdoor space to the covered patio was so professionally done and we could not have asked for a better outcome! It is a gorgeous venue and would recommend it to anyone looking for an inexpensive, professional and top-notch place to tie the knot!
Thank You Timberlee Hills!! ❤️

I’m not sure a 5 star rating even covers how great our wedding and reception was at Timberlee.
From the initial idea, planning and execution Kelsey, Mike & team were amazing. No idea was too “crazy” and they made the entire experience fun.
The day of the wedding I have never a team work harder. To say they were committed to my happiness would be an understatement. Everyone commented on how flawless everything was.
The natural views, outdoor & room flexibility options made this an easy choice during a “strange” year b/c of COVID-19.
Diamond in the rough. I’m thrilled we made the choice to have our special day at Timberlee Hills!

I cannot and will not ever be able to express how amazing this venue was for our wedding. We held both the ceremony and reception here.
The outside ceremony site is BEAUTIFUL!!! they have a great rainy day option too. They had a microphone and speakers for the music and for the officiant. it was nice not to need to hire a DJ for that perk.
The reception site is also gorgeous! They have remodeled and renovated and it is truly amazing!
The owners, Kelsey and Mike, are AMAZING and the hardest workers known to earth. They helped problem solve behind the scenes never stressing me out at all. They have also hired a wedding coordinator, Micha, is amazing! She was able to keep us on schedule and deal with my groomsmen (who may have had trouble staying in line). They helped make changes to anything last minute with no stress (the shuttle for example). They even helped our wedding party and family pull off a surprise flashmob during the reception.
This was the best choice we could have ever made.
They are so easy to work with, and are just great people in general. You will not be disappointed with this venue.

We had our daughter's wedding reception on July 13, 2019 at Timberlee Hills in Traverse City, Mi. I can't say enough good things about this venue. The venue was so beautiful and the staff was amazing, so helpful, accommodating, friendly, and made the whole event run very smoothly. Micha and her staff went out of their way to make the whole night a lot of fun and I didn't have to worry about anything. Many of our guests were so impressed with the venue and the staff and I will recommend this venue to anyone I know who is planning a wedding.

My best friend got married here in Oct. 2018 and the venue is absolutely stunning!! But even more importantly Kelsey and Mike, along with their bartenders Dawn and Mitch are INCREDIBLE!! In almost everything, it's the people who make or break it. And the amazing people at Timberlee 100% make it ❤❤
