What are the wedding colors?
Olive green, cream, gold, and pops of rust!
Are children and/or kids invited to the event?
We are very sorry, but we are unable to extend the invitation to minors; this will be an adult-only event. We hope you understand and can still join us on our special day.
Can I bring a plus one?
We're keeping our wedding intimate to those who have been a part of our journey over the last decade and can only accommodate those listed on the invitation. Thanks in advance for understanding!
What are the parking arrangements?
Guests are required to park within the designated areas in the parking spots that surround the pond in the front of the property. Parking attendants will be available on-site to assist with arrangements and can provide golf cart transportation to the venue, if necessary.
Can I leave my car overnight?
Cars may be left at the venue overnight (in the designated area), but they must be removed by 9:00am the following morning (Sunday, November 23rd). Cars not removed by this time will be towed at your expense.
Will there be a shuttle or other transportation provided?
There will not be transportation provided; please plan accordingly. Hotel blocks are approximately 3.5 miles away from the venue. If you plan to use ride share services, please note they are limited in this area and will need secured in advance, to ensure guests are not on the property past the rental time. Both hotel blocks are within the same plaza to assist with carpooling.
Will the wedding be indoor or outdoor?
Please plan for a quick (we are aware it is late November in Michigan) outdoor wedding. The venue offers 3 beautiful outdoor ceremony locations, which the bride and groom are hopeful to use, if weather permits. If the wedding ceremony is outdoor, the terrain will include navigating through grass, mulch, and concrete surfaces. If weather does not permit, the ceremony will be held inside of the reception barn.
Is smoking permitted on the property?
No smoking or open flame is permitted in or near the barn. A designated cigarette smoking area will be provided outside. Use of substances beyond alcohol or tobacco are not permitted on the premises.
