I could not have picked a better venue! From the first call with Jennifer to the end of our wedding day, the staff was professional, helpful, and communicative. The venue was absolutely gorgeous with lots of amenities! The price is hard to beat as well! Jennifer and Heather made creating my perfect day a breeze! I cannot recommend this venue enough!!!!

We couldn’t have picked a better venue for our wedding! The owners were incredibly flexible and accommodating, they allowed us to visit the grounds multiple times, which made planning so much easier. We were even able to take our engagement photos there and hold our rehearsal on-site, which was such a huge help. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous with so many picturesque spots, our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful everything was! Communication was great throughout the entire process; the owners were always quick to respond to my emails and very easy to work with. The bridal suite was wonderful! Spacious, comfortable, and equipped with a fridge, sink, and bathroom. There’s also a separate barn for the other party to get ready in, which made the day run so smoothly. We’re so grateful to have found this place and would recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, stress-free wedding venue!

As a family owned and operated farm we recognize that there is nothing more special than your wedding day. We pride ourselves in sharing our heritage garden and carefully designed greenhouse reception space with you to ensure that your day is pure magic! When a couple gets married at Westcroft Gardens, we like to think that a piece of their family history begins here, just as ours does. Spanning back to 1776, we are the oldest family owned and operated farm in the State of Michigan. Nestled amongst nearly 4 acres of 100 year old Heritage Gardens our Azalea House reception space keeps company with lavender fields, a newly planted cherry orchard and exquisite views of many of natures finest offerings. Currently under 8th generation management, we aim to make your day at our family farm an amazing and unforgettable experience "where moments blossom and memories grow". When you step foot on Westcroft Gardens & Farm, you will be enchanted by the property's natural beauty. You can enjoy an outdoor ceremony surrounded by the venue's lush greenery. Then, move your celebration indoors to Azalea House, a stunning Greenhouse perfect for dining and dancing. Please note that our event season is from mid May through mid October and that we specialize in intimate events up to 100 guests in our fully outdoor venue space. We look forward to answering any questions you may have and hosting your special day at the farm!

Hello! I am the Venue Director and Farm Manager of Westcroft Gardens and Farm. I've resided in Michigan since 2017 and have enjoyed every moment of calling this special farm home. We have two sons who are the 9th generation living and playing on the grounds as well as family near and far who work hard to protect this special space for generations to come. We truly believe when a couple says "I do" in our gardens, their family story becomes a piece of our expansive 250 year history as well. I'm here to ensure you have a smooth planning process and magical day!

y to work with and so reliable! Communication was incredibly easy, everyone was always on the same page. The venue also worked with us around our schedules and accommodated us in every way they could! Every inch of the property is well maintained and we had absolutely zero issues with the venue! Everyone I know who has gotten engaged since we booked with Westcroft has heard me speak most highly of this venue and I cannot recommend it enough to you. My husband and I look forward to going back for a visit next year!

The farm was amazing aesthetically; we had our ceremony in the gardens and reception in the azalea house and our guests were blown away with how beautiful our wedding turned out.

ur guests were that they were in love with this venue and a lot of them toured the gardens during the partying. If you live in the downriver/metro Detroit area, and want a beautiful outdoor wedding, that also isn’t outrageously expensive, then this place is a must for your venue!

My husband and I had our wedding at Westcroft Gardens & Farm.... yesterday! and we had such a wonderful time there that I wanted to make it a priority to leave a glowing review of ...

how accommodating and helpful Clayton was throughout the whole process. My husband and I were hoping to have a small, intimate wedding with a lot of greenery. We looked at several other venues before Westcroft Gardens & Farm, but none of them quite fit the bill like Westcroft did. Due to it being on Grosse ile, as soon as you get on the island the you are surrounded by water and trees galore. Westcroft itself is hidden away in its own clearing and it was magical. You couldn't hear or see traffic, only birds chirping. Despite this, there was ample parking space for all of our guests. We had our ceremony out in the garden and our reception in the greenhouse. Thankfully, the weather was perfect for our wedding, but I don't think I would have been upset even if it rained because the greenhouse itself is so beautiful. There is a room on the 2nd floor of the farmhouse for brides to get ready in (which had air conditioning!) and it was beautifully furnished and comfortable. The bathrooms were newly renovated and beautiful too. You could really tell that Clayton loved the place and took very good care of it and his enthusiasm and genuine love for Westcroft and its history made the venue all the more special and personable. I don't think I would have had the same feeling if I had chosen a golf course or country club. On the day of our wedding, I was already asking my husband if we could come back for one of our anniversaries.

My husband and I had our wedding and reception at Westcroft on June 27th 2020. It was very difficult trying to follow through with our wedding plans in the midst of COVID-19, but t...

he staff at Westcroft worked with us to make things happen and we had a small, yet beautiful wedding. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous! We had our wedding reception in their greenhouse space which was amazing aesthetically, but unfortunately very hot at the end of June, but we knew that was a risk when we picked that day. Westcroft is very affordable and the staff is extremely kind and helpful. All in all I think Westcroft is a wonderful place to have an outdoor wedding. It's affordable, the staff is extremely kind and helpful, and again, it's gorgeous!

My husband and I had our ceremony & our reception at Westcroft Gardens on August 17, 2018. We selected the location in August 2017 and we never, ever regretted it. They were fant...

astically kind & helpful and the location was everything we wanted. A quiet, wooded space, with garden walks, gorgeous flora & trees. There's a barn and aisles of flowers to take photographs at. All of my guests loved the location, despite the weather going from mild, to heavy rain, to beautifully sunny with some serious humidity. There was plenty of parking for the size of our wedding (~50 + vendors), but you could easily have a larger group. The ceremony was lovely & personal amongst ferns & trees. At the reception we were allowed to have some garden games for people's enjoyment, any question we had or request was answered in a timely manner, very polite, and I truly felt that we were cared about when setting up our wedding here. Thank you Westcroft Gardens, I'll always remember our wedding day at the gardens fondly.

ir early September wedding with beautiful, lush green all around including unique trees, ferns, an old farmhouse and other buildings that provided for beautiful backgrounds for wedding pictures. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Everyone who attended love the place! It is definitely a place to consider for your event!

This is completely a DIY spot for cheap but with so much potential.. I can see it being overlooked if you visit the site, especially in the dead of winter. But there is a big open ...

space to park, adjacent large open space for a tent and then a walk across the gravel path to get into the botanical garden. We had a vision of a bohemian outdoor wedding under a sailcloth tent in a quiet area that was located in a beautiful green garden…this was the only place in Metro Detroit that could be the blank canvas for our dream wedding.
