The Foxglove Farm 

5.0

Suttons Bay, MI
  • Up to 160 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $7,000

The Foxglove Farm aims to marry the beauty of the Leelanau Peninsula's natural elements with simplistic and modern design. Within the 130 year old barn are clean lines, consistent outlines of contrast and a color palette reflective of the wide open view from the cherry orchard. We believe that no two events should look the same at The Foxglove Farm. By offering a forest alcove, orchard inset, restored barn, wildflower field & lakeview outlook, the options are endless. Whether you're looking for a dark, moody farm-to-table gathering in the woods or an intimate ceremony enveloped by cherry blossoms, the 140 acres are yours to set the scene.

The Foxglove Farm is by far one of the most special venues in Northern Michigan, if not all of Michigan. The Barnes family took such care and gave deep consideration to the property's history and how it could best serve their clients & community when restoring the barn and planning out the space. You feel the family's warmth and thoughtfulness around every corner--whether you're a client or a vendor. From a design perspective, one of the things that I love about Foxglove is that the space really speaks for itself; not much is needed, yet so much can be done to enhance the natural beauty and make the event "yours." If I could only ever work at Foxglove, I gladly would... heck, if I could live at Foxglove I'd move in tomorrow!

Bay View Weddings at Gallagher Farms

Cedar, MI
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor

Bay View Weddings at Gallagher Farms opened in the spring of 2019 as a premier wedding and events venue located in the beautiful and unforgettable Traverse City and Leelanau County, Michigan. Bay View Weddings offers a multitude of options to consider for your wedding day including a breathtaking view on our hill top overlooking Grand Traverse Bay, a wedding destination that overlooks miles of Leelanau and Grand Traverse Counties, a quaint and calm little pond for a beautiful small wedding ceremony, and orchard ceremonies that may include beautiful white blossoms in early spring and gorgeous red cherries during the summer. Our farm offers a relaxing and breathtaking destination that will provide an environment to feel and enjoy every moment of your wedding or special event. It is our hope to provide our guests with the time to be with family and loved ones in the setting of their dreams.

My husband and I had our wedding at Bayview in July and could not have been happier! We searched just about every venue in Northern Michigan and Bayview was unlike any other - we truly believe that this will be the most popular venue in Northern Michigan in a few years. We had so many guests say it was the most beautiful venue they had ever been at and some compared it to the Catalina Wine Mixer (IYKYK). Rose was a pleasure to work with and you could feel her passion come through. She just wanted us to have the best day possible and did everything she could to make that happen!! Rose keeps special plants that attract butterflies around the venue site and during our ceremony we had 5 flying around - it was so special. Words cannot even describe the beauty of this place. There was a special ‘shack’ (updated, of course) next to a pond where my husband and his groomsmen got ready and fished before the ceremony! There is a glammed out barn that the bridesmaids hung out in before the ceremony. They even have a special area in the cherry groves with string lights that is perfect for a first look. Our wedding was better than our wildest dreams. Thank you Rose and the entire Bayview team for making our wedding the most perfect day of our lives! 10000/10

Farm at Frog Hollow 
Boyne City, MI
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $400

The Farm at Frog Hollow is an event venue with a difference. Architecturally, the barn is referred to as a “monitor” style, and its distinctive look was developed in the 1890s. Remember, that before weddings took over, barns were first and foremost a dwelling for livestock and a repository for hay and grain, and the monitor design created optimal flow of air and light, better both for the animals and their feed. So, how does that translate into spaces for 21st century events? Frog Hollow is comfortable and cozy, intimate when it needs to be. The Farm at Frog Hollow lends itself seamlessly to a myriad of events, from weddings to parties, from showers to concerts. The barn is warm and inviting for small gatherings, but spacious expansive enough for groups up to 250. High-tech capabilities expand the possibilities, the new tented patio welcomes even larger guest lists, and a professional kitchen is perfect for staging. Just imagine of all the things you can do

Magnolia’s at Hobart 

5.0

Cadillac, MI
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Raw space
  • Outdoor

Magnolia's is nestled in the rolling hills of the historic Hobart Village. There is no beauty quite like Northern Michigan! You will find timeless charm in our 120 year old barn. The barn has a dance floor, rustic bar area and can hold up to 115 guests. Whether it's a wedding, family reunion or open house, we've got you covered. We provide tables and chairs for up to 200 guests along with various decor items such as centerpieces, signage and furniture. If you have more than than 115 guests, a rental tent is recommended. Our goal is to make your day unique, seamless and manicured to your vision. We love working with couples and are open to exploring any ideas you may have!

If you don't get married here, you're missing out! The ENTIRE experience was way better than I ever could have imagined! Think wedding planning is stressful? Not here. From the planning stages all the way to the wedding day/night was such a stress-free time. I was truly able to enjoy every moment of my wedding because of how easy Maggie and Vince made it. Their communication and easy-going personalities made the whole process so much fun! The venue is BEAUTIFUL. It's perfectly laid out for a one stop shop. I had my ceremony, pictures, dinner and reception all on site. There are SO MANY good spots to take pictures, the bar area is ridiculously perfect and charming, and the barn is so rustic and beautiful. I have too many good things to say about my experience. I loved it so much that I can't wait to start planning my vow renewal ceremony so I can do it all over again and without a doubt have it at Magnolia's at Hobart!
