I'm a wedding photographer in the Mid Michigan area. I had the pleasure of working a wedding here early this season and enjoyed the experience! They were so accommodating to the couple who had to move their ceremony inside due to weather. And it went beautifully! I loved the look and how spacious the getting ready room was. And the newest remodels look absolutely stunning! I hope to be invited back for another wedding soon!

We got married in August 2018 at The Milestone Barn and it was the wedding of our dreams! The barn and grounds are stunning. I loved everything about my wedding. Carolyn was amazing to work with and always there to answer my questions. People loved the venue so much that we talked about doing it again (minus the wedding part). You won’t regret getting married there. If you are looking for food, hotel, or someone to marry you they have recommendations!! I wouldn’t have changed a thing.

We recently had our wedding here. The white barn was amazing. We had over 250 people which this barn accommodated up to 550! There were bridal and groom suites to get ready in. We did the full weekend package and were able to stay in the house on-site which made things a lot easier for the bridal party. Bonnie, the coordinator, was amazing to work with. She was super responsive and always answered any of our concerns. We got so many complaints about how gorgeous the grounds were and they are pet friendly! I definitely recommend Country Barn Estates!!

We got married in late fall and everything was perfect. Karie and her crew were so great to work with. We used Karie for the day of coordinating and she was worth very penny. She made everything so easy and stress free. She also has a great eye for decor. We had to change the ceremony from outside to inside last minute due to rain and they did it without causing us any worry. She is a very calming presence who is dedicated ensuring the couples have a wonderful day. I would highly recommend Applewood Farms to anyone looking for a beautiful and comfortable venue!

Having our wedding at Woldumar was SO, SO special!!! We took the risk of having an August 10 wedding in their barn with no A/C...and we were rewarded with beautiful 70 degree weather. One of their exhaust fans was broken, but they purchased window fans and an industrial fan to keep the air moving. Definitely not an issue for us given our incredible weather, but I was a little nervous in the lead-up. Victoria was SO EASY to work with, I cannot sing her praises enough. From booking until wedding day, she was right there with us. She had fantastic advice on vendors and ceremony details that made things go so smoothly (walking across the bridge was the best idea EVER). The golf cart photo tour was AWESOME, too! My husband and I are very outdoorsy, so it was fun to spend so much time outside on our big day. You can tell the Woldumar staff put a lot of love into their grounds. We got so many compliments on how beautiful everything was! It was truly the perfect venue for us. We didn't even need much decor because the barn and ceremony space are so beautiful on their own. We didn't purchase day-before or day-after barn access which made things a little chaotic. I recommend getting the day-after cleaning, as we were in a mad rush to get things cleaned before midnight on wedding day. The security guard was also very rude during clean up. I'd pay extra to not have to deal with him again... All in all, great venue for the outdoorsy couple! We loved being able to choose all of our own vendors, too. We felt like we had so much creative control, which we wouldn't have gotten at a full-service venue. It's also so comforting to know our money went to a nature center. Much better than a golf course, at least in my opinion!
