Visions Weddings & Banquets

nd the DJ-Ray were so helpful with keeping the event going smoothly. The Magic mirror was a great success. All we needed to provide: cake (Sam's Club), alcohol, officiant, photographer, and flowers. Worth every penny! Thank you!

asy to work with. They had a great "prep" packet to guide you through the wedding process, including all of the reception foods, table settings, bar setup, and dj. GreyStone has a perfect table arrangement, large dance floor, and even a side room where kids can play! Bonus for the guests, large, clean bathrooms. The brides ready room is convenient too. On the day of the wedding, Kay, our wedding coordinator, was very helpful and kind. She did well in managing everything. The food was "5 star." Everything was delicious and Many went back for more. Tony, our DJ for the night, did well to keep the dance floor full. He played music from our "must play" list, avoided all of our "do not play" list, and took all requests as well. We couldn't be happier. Our families agreed that it was the best wedding reception they had been to.

ds day perfect. If you are looking for a venue, we highly recommend you check them out and all they have to offer.

we met the owners and took a tour, we were hooked on this location, and it did not disappoint. Through the planning process, catering choices, decor and layout options, organizations, fine tuning, rehearsal, wedding day and aftermath, we received so much help and professionalism from the staff. They have us options that worked with the themes we wanted and everything turned out amazing. Having them take care of so much of the planning and coordinating took so much stress out and allowed us to enjoy our special day and look back on it with no regrets and a myriad of wonderful memories. I would highly recommend a Greystone Wedding experience for anyone looking for a spectacular wedding experience.

attention to detail. LOVE!

was awesome, and the food was amazing. Jo did such a fantastic job being our wedding coordinator on the day of. It felt like an additional mom to have around for the day. And both genuinely cared, and wanted you to have a fantastic day. And Ray was our DJ for the night- and he truly did such an amazing job keeping the party going. He also took the time to call to touch base, get the list of songs for the ceremony, and reassured that if there was anything at all that my Husband or I needed, to give him a call. I would highly recommend Greystone Weddings to anyone. You definitely will not regret your choice.

awlessly and wouldn't change a thing. Thank you guys so much for making our day perfect I cannot reccomend you guys enough.

ice and made for great pictures, and the service was top notch. The DJ was my husbands favorite part, he played all of the music that was requested, we had Tony for our DJ. I liked that everything was included in the venue, especially since we did not live near by and we are very busy people. The only downside was we did not receive an invitation to the open house, but that may have been our error for not staying in touch. I would certainly recommend Greystone Weddings!! We also booked our honeymoon through Bob, which made things much easier and stress free.

y thought of everything from the decorations on the table to the shuttles at the end of the night. It was perfect!!

married the minute we walked in, and I was so right. There are so many great things I can say about it. Not only the beauty of the place but that staff was incredible. They are not just trying to get you to have their wedding there. They truly care about you and want your day to be the best day ever. Ours was the best day ever and it was all thanks to them! From the owner, to the cooks, the wedding coordinator, the bartenders, and the DJ! They all knew exactly what you wanted and they make it happen in every way! We wouldn't have changed one thing about our wedding day thanks to the Greystone!

venue was easily one of the best decisions we made! Our night really couldn't have been any more perfect. From start to finish we were taken care of by owners, Bob and Jo and their wonderful staff. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was perfectly timed with elegant dinner music to more lively music with awesome dance lights as the night progressed! There were many options available for decor and meal choices and everyone was easily able to be flexible when needed! It couldn't have been better!

ing venue, they still made sure to make time for us when we had questions or needed something out of the blue. They were very professional, and very easy to work with! We got married almost 2 months ago and our guests are still talking about the food! (Try the creamed cauliflower even if it sounds weird) everything ran as smoothly as a wedding could! They worked very well with our outside vendors and we have nothing but good things to say about this venue and it’s owners! If we were to do it all over again, we would choose the same venue! Thanks Again for everything!

and fun. I recommend Greystone for anyone getting married in the future. Definitely a 10 out of 10!!

od was, and how fun the DJ and bartenders were. I was beyond impressed. Our day could not have been any more beautiful and perfect. From booking the venue all the way to the day of, Bob and Jo were more than accommodating and absolutely wonderful to work with. They were truly excited for us, and you can tell that they love what they do.

on was so smooth and easy. They were always there to answer any questions that we had and constantly made us feel like a priority. The reception itself was absolutely stunning!! Jo even went the extra mile and made us a gorgeous candy display using our wedding colors. Everything was absolutely perfect!! I highly recommend them. If you want an absolutely dazzling, elegant and memorable wedding that people will be talking about for years to come then this is the venue for you!!

doing everything else. I got to kind of sit back and relax while my vision unfolded. Bob and Joanne were great to work with they attended to all of our needs and requests and were there anytime we texted or called. Set up was beautiful and I assigned a couple family members to set up a few of my do it yourself decorations which worked just fine. When the ceremony came everything ran smoother than I could have imagined, and the garden is one of the most beautiful places to not only get married in but take pictures in. Alcohol was the only thing we needed to bring ourselves which was exactly what we wanted because we didn't want our guests to have to pay and we didn't want to have to think about the bill for the end of the night. Rehearsal went so fast and Joanne worked with ME the bride and made sure the entrance was the way I had planned and i never once felt turned against my vision. Zeth and I could not have imagined a better day or place, our pictures were about ten minuets from the venue which we were shuttled from Greystone provided y Greystone to Crystal lake in Beulah which was romantic and then came back and finished photos in the garden, my photographer barely photo shopped any of the pictures we took. The DJ, bartenders and Staff were also Excellent they obviously know what they are doing, Very friendly and welcoming! Thank you so much for taking care of Zeth and I and our guests It was absolutely THE BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES HIGHLY recommended

o venue on day of our 4:30pm wedding was the only inconvenience. Would have appreciated more time ahead of ceremony. Otherwise, planning, rehearsal, and the wedding was a breeze!! Greystone definitely helped create my "perfect" wedding!

he order of events in perfect order and went above and beyond to please us! Their communication with us was fantastic too! I never felt ignored and they did everything to please us! Pick them for your next event!!

didn't hit us with any extra fees or drama. Our Dj kept the music going and the bartender had everyone feeling great. Planning was smooth and straight forward and their food was amazing. Most importantly the woman for the ceremony cared deeply about us Bride and Groom. They were fun and inviting. I loved every minute of my evening. We had one guest issue but it was handled without me really evening knowing much about it. This was the best decision we had about coming to Greystone. Used the Honor location, outside ceremony, and had 90-100 guests. We had an amazing event i WOULD recommend them to someone else. I duo have vendors I will NOT recommend but Greystone did a great job and will ABSOLUTELY be RECOMMEND!

y recommend booking with Greystone. You will not be disappointed!

apel type setting in doors in case of rain. Good thing we had that as a back up plan because it rained and rained. Thanks greystone!

orking with you. Sadly we had to cancel our booking with him due to our own personal reasons. Greystone is so highly recommend! I'm hoping to attend more wedding there in the future.

ue is beautiful, both the garden and the ballroom. Having the wedding all in one place meant more time for us to party and celebrate with our guests. Everyone from the bartender to the event planner was fantastic to work with. Thank you for truly making our wedding the best day of our lives!

d was blown away and we couldn't have been happier to spend our wedding with them. Their all inclusive wedding packages made planning so easy and took a lot of the stress away! We would definitely recommend booking your wedding through Greystone because it was an exceptional experience and we will remember it for the rest of our lives!

night was how great the food was and how gorgeous the venue was. My husband and I would highly recommend Greystone to anyone. We thank every member of Greystone Mansion that helped to make our big day so special!

s many things on my wedding day. The food was delicious, the ballroom and garden were beautiful, and everything ran very smoothly. I was very happy with the experience. The only thing that I did not like was that they pushed the Sandals vacations a bit hard, but this is a fantastic choice for my wedding.

There's also an indoor chapel in case of bad weather) which is really nice! The staff was amazing! They did everything to ensure our day was perfect! Greystone provided all the food and the bartender and the DJ. Who were all super great!! I could go on and on but, in short I highly recommend this wedding venue to anyone looking for a budget friendly beautiful awesome venue!! We couldn't be happier and wouldn't have changed a thing!

f it had rained, there is also a chapel onsite that would have provided a seamless back-up plan.I cannot say enough about what this venue provides . . . a beautiful setting both inside and out, a spacious bridal room, a children's room that was well utilized during our reception, a delicious and plentiful food buffet at a better price per plate than I found elsewhere in our area,all china, linens and table centerpieces,a certified bartender, a very talented and responsive DJ, a low-key but very effective security person, bar snacks and several mixers and non-alcoholic beverage options, set up and clean up, including packaging all the leftover food and cake for us to take home (yummy!) and incredibly attentive and responsive service by all staff members.The only additional services we engaged was a florist, a baker for the wedding cake,a photographer and videographer. Greystone even helped us find an officiant! As a result, we were able to enjoy our special day and our guests without worrying about every detail.They even cut and plated the cake for us! I highly recommend Greystone -- a high quality, high value venue for your ceremony and reception that takes a lot of the work and worry out of planning your big event! Thank you Bob and the whole team at Greystone! If I had any more daughters, they would be getting married at Greystone!

s. The venue was decorated beautifully for our wedding. We had the roast beef and chicken piccata for our entrees and would recommend both. The DJ was just okay in my opinion...he was very kind but I was disappointed that he didn't have more guests out on the dance floor. The day of the wedding didn't go as smoothly as we had hoped. I felt like my husband and I were gathering guests to come inside for first dances, I had to go outside myself to find guests standing in the dark before I realized no staff member had turned on the outside light for them. I just felt like the coordination could have gone smoother. We also had a few complaints such as the wrong song being played when we were announced as husband and wife and the bartenders serving shots when we requested no shots at our reception. Also, it was very uncomfortably hot in the venue. Overall minus those few things we were pleased with the venue and had a great wedding.

s so there is no need for decor unless you want to but it is beautiful the way it is :) the staff was very friendly and they made sure our day was complete. The food was amazing..chef Bob did a wonderful job! Overall I highly recommend this place if you want a worry free wedding. Let the experts make your dream wedding come true!

ut anything. All my vendors including the florist, photographer, cake lady, and photo booth were directed by my wedding coordinator (Kay) who took care of everything while I was getting ready in the bridal suite. The food was delicious! Everybody was telling me it was the best meal they had ever had at a wedding. The venue even allowed us to bring in our own alcohol which saved us a ton of money! After looking at most venues in western and northern Michigan I can tell you that Greystone Mansion has the best package for your money. They include catering, DJ service, a Ceremony venue, Reception venue, and their own center pieces. Extra decorations and a shuttle service for your guests can be added for a little extra, which I am glad I took advantage of because my guests were able to drink and get a safe ride back to their hotels (including me and my husband who were the last to leave). I didn't have to worry about renting china, or table clothes, or white chairs for the ceremony because it was all included and set up for me. We got to take home the extra food and alcohol and didn't have to worry about cleaning up afterward. Bob, Jo, and Kay really have the experience and knowledge to help you plan your dream wedding. Bob answered every question I had, had suggestions about the best vendors, and he also helped us plan our honeymoon to an all inclusive Sandals resort. I am more then satisfied with my wedding, it was the best day of my life and the staff at Greystone made it so easy. People always warned me to "just elope" and "weddings are a nightmare to plan", but my wedding was not like that, it was beautiful, stress free, and I'll always remember it as the best day of my life. The only thing I had to stress about was whether or not it was going to rain. It didn't, but even if it had the venue has it's own indoor chapel as a back up plan. They really have thought of everything! I 100% recommend them to anyone who is looking for a venue in west Michigan, they will help you stay within your budget and make your wedding day beautiful and just the way you want it.

ception details was perfect. With that being said, when I initially was considering Greystone, some of the biggest selling points were the convenience of an inclusive package & how flexible & easy Bob was to work with. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Bob's willingness to work with us decreased. During our meeting 3 weeks prior, he was strongly encouraging us to organize the room & include elements with which I was not comfortable (e.g., a fog machine use on the dance floor & placing the band in the corner with tables between them & the dance floor). The day was beautiful from my perspective & the on-site coordinator was extremely accommodating for me; however, after the fact I learned that both Bob & the on-site coordinator were quite rude to multiple family members & friends who were assisting with setup. Finally, the DJ, John, was terrible. We had hired a band, & thank goodness! For the first several seconds of the Daddy-Daughter dance, the TV screens sat at a menu while the song played instead of beginning the carefully constructed photo slideshow, he did not play the songs we asked, & one song was clearly played from youtube as there was a commercial that played prior to the song beginning. I think this is completely unacceptable from a venue wanting to be the best in Northern Michigan. Overall, I think that these issues were not apparent to almost everyone there; however, it was extremely disappointing to hear negative feedback from those close to me.

s to die for! You have to get the mac n cheese! Nothing that we ordered was nad. Also they package the left over food so you can bring it home! They really went out of their way to make sure your day is perfect. The dj was awesome too! Wish I could remember his name because he did such an awesome job keeping dacing going all night long! We got married outside and the service was beautiful. The venue is beautiful inside and out. If your thinking of booking a wedding you NEED to just book greystone. You won't be disappointed :)

g selection of foods for the buffet), Glass, China, and Color coordinated table cloths for the Table sets, Decorations including candles and table centerpieces, and Inside and Outside ceremony site, Ballroom, Bartender, DJ service (which was also perfect!) and the owners are easy to contact and easy to talk to about planning your wedding, via Email, Phone and Text. Everything was included in an easy package! All we had to provide ourselves was the minister, cake and photographer. Beautiful outdoor fountains and landscaping for photos, a bridal suite for pre-ceremony and reception use, and a room for children to play with toys. We had around 90 guests and it was very comfortable, it was not crowded at all. There are several near by hotel/motels/cabins/campgrounds for out of town guests. I highly recommend this venue/catering/DJ and ceremony site for your wedding and reception! Great value compared to other locations in the Traverse City area/Northern Michigan.

rything then handled the rest with him over the phone and through email. It was very easy and not stressful at all. It is absolutely beautiful inside and if you choose to get married in the garden (which we did) you shouldn't even have to buy any extra decorations or flowers. They included much more than other halls, the DJ was included as well as most of the decorations. Kay the wedding coordinator was amazing! She went above and beyond for us. I didn't have much to add to the reception and she added everything she could think of, from lights behind our head table to adding to the center pieces, and even getting us cupcake stands for our cupcakes (we had cupcakes instead of a cake). She made the entire day run so smoothly. The other help was very nice as well. We actually didn't even try the food before the wedding either but luckily it was so good everyone loved it. All weddings can get expensive though and if you choose to add the other things they offer the price can add up. We only paid for 100 guests and I was very careful and didn't add very much extra stuff. Alcohol also isn't included. They also had some rules that I wasn't expecting like no bubbles or confetti or rice to shower the bride and groom with after the wedding, not a big deal but just fyi. We also had a candy table and after we had already bought the candy for it found out we couldn't have gum. Just be sure to check and see what they don't allow, I don't think its much just stuff that might make a mess.But overall it was an amazing day I have no complaints it couldn't have been better. I would absolutely recommend this hall to other brides!

single issue. The ceremony was outside and the gardens and landscaping is gorgeous! They even have an indoor chapel in case of bad weather, they've thought of EVERYTHING! Our reception was awesome, Bob and Jo kept on top of everything and made sure at all times we were enjoying our day. The food was ridiculously good and the service by their employees was exceptional. I cannot say enough good things about this venue and the owners. You will not go wrong having your wedding here, they have it all!!

nd Greystone makes the room come alive with detail. White table cloths with lavender sashes, candles floating in tall cylinders of water, candelabras on the head table with garlands of pretty lights are just a few of the beautiful decorations to make that night one she will never forget! The food was delicious and the guests were raving over it. We enjoyed several appetizers while the wedding party were out taking pictures and especially liked the stuffed florentine mushroom caps, excellent! The mac and cheese is creamy and delicious, a must order, as were the stuffed shells and cherry glazed carrots, cherry bbq chicken and well everything we ordered was delicious! It was all served on beautiful china, extra nice! A wonderful perk is that Bob packages up all the leftovers for you and we were able to enjoy a post-wedding supper with the bride and groom and some of their wedding party that were still in town. We all had a wonderful relaxed dinner and could enjoy the wedding supper all over again, a special treat for the bride and groom who were too excited and therefore barely ate at the wedding. We are so blessed to have such a beautiful and affordable venue for an event that lasts a lifetime in our memories. The venue is high style and budget friendly. Bob generously allows you to bring your own alcohol, but provides full bar service to pamper your guests. When I looked up other sites they charged $70.00 just for one bottle of champagne! With the ability to bring our own, we had lots of fun wine tasting on the peninsula and then bought our unanimous favorite sparkling wine, Brix, from Bowers Harbor Vineyard for the toast. We went the extra for glass flutes, as a special toast is just not right in plastic! The layout of the room, the service, the beauty of the venue, was all so perfect it was our first stop and our last. We never had to look further and we are not sorry we didn't. Our only regret is that it rained and we could not utilize the beautiful garden for the ceremony. But Bob and Kay were quick with the backup chapel and it was lovely. Thankfully the sun was out later for pictures in the garden. It was a turnkey wedding that gave us a relaxing evening and the guests could enjoy the party without concern about driving home as we enlisted the services of the shuttle to see them safely to the hotel. Many thanks to the shuttle driver, the wedding party said he was so nice!! Kingsley Cakes made a beautiful, delicious cake and Ron Getz played amazing guitar. The Blossom Shop, always our favorite florist, did not disappoint us; the flowers were beautiful. And our photographer, Cindy K Hughes, knows the area well, is great fun to work with, and her engagement photo shoot was so nice that I can't wait for the photos! I highly recommend them all for your own event needs. Yes, it was a fairy tale wedding! Thank you all it could not have been more wonderful!
