“We recently got married at YMCA Camp Pinewood and we are so happy with how everything went! We rented the camp for 3 days so our family and friends could enjoy a long weekend together after the wedding. The location is absolutely beautiful with more than enough space to host our group of about 80 guests, and a wide range of activities that we all enjoyed. The facilities are fairly rustic, but our guests were comfortable, and we were able to host the bridal party and older guests in the cabins with private rooms and AC. The staff was amazing to work with and made us and our guests feel so welcome and at ease. Leading up to the event, they answered our many questions quickly and helped us figure out logistics. During the event they were there for anything we or our guests needed, and helped coordinate the schedule, vendors, etc. By the end of the wedding we felt like part of one big family. We made so many great memories and we can't wait to go back to celebrate anniversaries! I can't recommend Camp Pinewood enough!”

Cannonsburg 

4.5

Belmont, MI
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $500

Thank you for your interest in us to be a possible selection for your wedding venue! Cannonsburg's classic, rustic elegance creates an atmosphere perfect for your dream wedding. Here at Cannonsburg, we have an option of both indoor or outdoor ceremonies, and three different reception rooms, each with beautiful views of the outdoors. There is also a deck area available to rent as well. In house, we have an amazing culinary team and a chef who can create a delicious menu for your special day! I hope we see you at Cannonsburg!

“We were honestly blown away by our wedding reception in the hearthside room in 2023. We were hoping for a low-key, pretty traditional "hall" style reception, where the emphasis would be on friends and family, family, food, and having a good time. The hearthside room was a great backdrop for that--cozy but spacious. The weather was great, and between the entryway/catering level, the main room, and the deck, our guests had a lot of options for hanging out and conversation. We had a few communication challenges due to staff turnover (their main coordinator and their chef both left in the middle of our planning), but chef Justin was great about honoring the original plan we had discussed. A couple of our guests had some pretty big food intolerances, and he made sure they still had plenty to eat. But most of all, I just cannot say enough good things about the food and the staff. Everyone was super helpful, and our guests could not stop talking about the food. There was PLENTY to go around, and Chef Justin and his staff made sure that everyone got their fill. It's a little early for a vow renewal, but we'll be recommending Cannonsburg to our friends and we'll be looking for a reason to host another big party here.”
