We began our journey in 2015 with a dusty gravel pit and vision for a new home. The gem was the stunning 30 acre crystal clear lake. After purchasing the property we found ourselves hosting church activities and work functions as people truly loved being here. Slowly, we began adding amenities to the property. In 2020 one of our daughters got engaged. As she began looking for a venue to host her wedding we came to realize that the perfect spot was right in front of us. We wanted it to be a very special place and we went to work to create a beautiful wedding venue. There are many opportunities on the property for one of a kind pictures. There are two picturesque options in front of the lake for the service and a new reception building that can seat up to 200 guests. With a 5 acre campus larger weddings can be accommodated with tent rental.

Record Box Loft is a wedding venue located on the riverfront in downtown Battle Creek. Our original hardwood floors, exposed brick and open floorplan flooded with natural light gives our space an urban, industrial vibe that’s perfect for a party. After an extensive restoration of this historic building, built in 1902, it was rebranded as Record Box Loft to pay homage to its historic roots. Once known as the Record Printing and Box Company, cereal boxes were printed here for many years in the cereal capital of the world. Record Box Loft accommodates small groups of 25 up to large gatherings of 225 guests. Many onsite amenities are provided including onsite preparation rooms, wooden farmhouse tables, industrial chairs, an onsite catering prep kitchen and bar. We are located in southwest Michigan, approximately halfway between Chicago and Detroit and conveniently close to our surrounding communities including Kalamazoo, Jackson, Lansing and Grand Rapids.

Located in an enchanting woods outside of Battle Creek, Michigan, centrally located between Chicago and Detroit, lies the splendor of Greencrest Manor Estate. The moment you drive through our wrought-iron gates and up our tree-lined drive, you will be transported into a 17th century French countryside château - adorned with cascading ivy, sprawling formal gardens, and an atmosphere that radiates warmth and historical opulence. Our mission is to serve you in a gracious way that makes you feel like family, enveloped by an extraordinary place that is a tranquil escape from the hustle of day to day life. With a cocktail in hand and a breath of fresh air, we welcome you to the magic of Greencrest Manor Estate. Special thanks to Shanell Photography, and Hannah Forsberg for beautifully capturing Greencrest. We are thrilled to share their images in our gallery.
