Sunset Place was a stunning venue for our wedding. The huge property has a magical, fairy-like feel with beautiful outdoor spaces surrounded by nature. The staff was very friendly, straightforward in their communication, and responsive to all our needs. They stocked us up with plenty of firewood and then mostly left us be to enjoy the space. We especially appreciated that they had extra decor and supplies on hand that enhanced our decorations and helped our special day go smoothly. The venue was exceptionally priced given the lovely property, amenities, and excellent service. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to celebrate our marriage and make memories with our loved ones.

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.

The Collins off Main 

4.0

Chelsea, MI
  • Up to 175 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $16,000

A Chic, Modern-Industrial Venue Near Ann Arbor, Michigan For The Trend-Minded Client ​ We know that choosing a venue that is epically unique AND checks all the functional boxes can be stressful and darn near impossible to find. You want to walk into a space and have it "sing" to you with all the possibilities but not overwhelm. ​ As a newly transplanted event designer from California, we struggled to find a space that we could emphatically recommend to our clients. Most spaces lacked the vibe and functionality our clients are looking for with the blank slate to create something truly personal. So, we created it! The perfect blend of California boho and functionality to help you and your guests have an epic and Instagram worthy event to share with your followers, proudly.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Offers full-service amenities
  • Feels like a getaway
  • Classic elegance

Venue considerations

  • No in-house catering options
  • Not for you if you are drawn to more unconventional venues
We had our wedding at the Collins off Main in August and it was everything we could imagine and more!! The space itself lends you to have whatever vibe for your wedding you could want and the team at the Collins is really what makes the place. We were going for a garden lush elegant yet fun wedding and had the best time. We liked getting to choose all of our vendors, having flexibility with bar/food service, a different space for ceremony (at the Clocktower a block away), and most of all having an outdoor area that is tasteful and fun. We also loved the after-party feature and it was so easy to move guests there after the reception ended. Jess and the team were thorough with the design planning and took what was in our brains and put it into the venue seamlessly (from the couples perspective) working with the other vendors; as well as acting as day of coordinator being extremely helpful. They have decor which couples can borrow and also easy to collaborate with rentals for chairs, table ware, etc. We enjoyed staying in the suite the night before and after the wedding which made getting ready and pictures go smoothly. I would recommend the Collins off Main to anyone!!
