My husband and I got married here in 2022 and it was perfection! From planning to wedding day everything was so easy and stress free. The ceremony site is to die for and the reception space was large and spacious for all our family and friends. My girls and I loved getting ready in the Lodge and the whole party loved that they could stay right on site and spend the whole weekend there. I cannot recommend Olde Mill Venue enough!

My wedding at the Embers and Ash Farmhouse was truly a dream come true! From the moment we toured the property, we knew it was the perfect place to say “I do.” The rustic charm of the barn was breathtaking, it was the perfect space for our band to play and for dancing. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how magical it all felt. The carriage house made for the perfect bridal suite, giving me a private, cozy space to relax and get ready with my girls. The staff was so attentive, making sure everything went smoothly and that we felt completely taken care of. For dinner, we opted for a whole hog roast right on the property, and it was an unforgettable experience. It added such a fun and unique touch to the evening, and the food was absolutely delicious. The night ended with a spectacular firework show as the sun went down—it was the perfect grand finale to our perfect day. Every detail, from the stunning views to the warm ambiance, was more than I ever could have hoped for. Embers and Ash gave us a wedding we’ll remember forever, and we can’t recommend it enough!

It was the perfect setting for our event. The chickens and gardens near by were the perfect touch. Lauren was a pleasure to work with.

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
