Venue Spotlight

Michigan has every type of venue for your big day- hotel ballrooms, old rustic barns, or traditional banquet halls. I am always intrigued by weddings held in more "off-beat" locations and how those venues are transformed for the big day.

Here are few venues that have sparked my interest and that I think are absolutely unique and amazing!

Gilmore Car Museum

Located in Hickory Corners, the Gilmore Car Museum is about 45 minutes from downtown Kalamazoo. Several different barns hold classic cars and can be transformed into a gorgeous banquet facility for your wedding. They even have a diner on the property to hold your rehearsal dinner or to snap some really fun wedding pictures. I think it would be so unique to be surrounded by vintage cars at your reception!





Indian Springs Environmental Discovery Center

Located in White Lake Township, this metro park has so many quirky details for your guest to enjoy... where else can your guests view a pond under ground?! The grounds are filled with gorgeous views and the Environmental Discovery Center can hold up to 200 guests.





Crystal Mountain Ski Resort

Holding your wedding at a ski resort would be AMAZING! Especially at Crystal Mountain, located in Thomsonville... they have a Mountain Top Deck, hiking and outdoor activities for guests, banquet facilities for up to 350 guests, not to mention amazing views of northern Michigan!
