My husband nor I are from Michigan (from the Chicagoland area) and everyone kept asking us "why Michigan?" The moment they walked in, they felt the same feeling I did when I first toured the venue. It is beautiful, unique, personal and was everything and more that I could have hoped for. Our wedding as at the end of June and we were very fortunate that the rain held off and the temperature/humidity ended up being perfect. We had about 185 guests attend the wedding and I think everyone was too stunned by the venue to even care about the drizzle of rain that was happening. Not to mention, Amelia and her staff are absolutely amazing from the very beginning to the very end.

I could not have envisioned a more perfect place for our wedding reception than Stonebridge. This is a stunning venue! We had our reception at Stonebridge on Friday, 5/31/24. Kim helped us coordinate everything from the beginning and made everything so easy. Stonebridge is great because it includes catering, lots of decor, and ceremony too, though we had our ceremony elsewhere. Having catering through the venue made it that much easier because we didn't have to look for another vendor for this. The outdoor cocktail hour space was beautiful and perfect. Having the outdoor tiki bar in addition to the indoor bar helped move the line along. We had buffet style dinner, and we got so many compliments on our food. The garlic mashed potatoes and bronzed salmon with capers were the clear winners, but everything was so good. The event managers of the day, Sarah and Hannah, were amazing. They checked in on my husband and I frequently to make sure we always had what we needed, and brought us so much peace of mind! If anything went wrong, I don't know about it, because they along with Kim ensured that everything was taken care of. All decorations supplied by Stonebridge were set up and taken down for us at no extra cost, but we also opted to pay a little extra to have Stonebridge's staff clean up the decorations that we brought, which eased a lot of the burden on our families. This was 100% worth every penny. Everything got cleaned up that night and they took great care of our things so nothing was damaged. They also assisted in setting up our donut table shown in one of the attached photos! Pictures don't do this beautiful place justice but hopefully you can get an idea :)

I feel like I have been waiting two years to write this review with how much I love Northern Haus and how excited we were to have our wedding there. Ever since the day we first toured back in 2022, to the day of our wedding, last Saturday August 24th, 2024, Sara, Nick, and Megan were absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. From our initial meeting and touring of the venue, to the countless calls and emails during the planning process, to the day of coordination, we were always given outstanding service, professionalism, friendliness, and quick responses. The venue itself is absolutely stunning! You can easily pair your wedding vision with the white barn, vaulted ceilings, and luxurious accommodations. It truly shines when you pull up the front walk, continue through the foyer, to the reception hall, to the gorgeous bar, to the covered porch, all the way up to the ceremony space - so beautiful. Every single detail was thought of and nothing went unnoticed when Sara and Nick built the venue. We had seen the venue being built years ago and could only hope that our wedding could some day be hosted here, and once we pulled up for that first tour, we looked at each other and knew it was the one! Sara was our day of coordinator and I cannot emphasize enough how incredible she made our day. As the bride who planned literally the entire day and every detail, I did not have one single worry with having Sara and her team in charge. If anything went wrong at all, I had no idea and that is exactly how it should be. The day was smooth, seamless, beautiful, and so well executed, I was thoroughly impressed the whole time. When you host your wedding with Northern Haus, the team provides a recommended list of vendors to work with, which was very helpful. Professionalism was very important to us when picking vendors, so to know that Sara had a preferred list of vendors with proven track records really made our vendor selection process easy. If you love Door County, or if you've never been and you want to fall in love with Door County, Northern Haus is the best venue and Sara and Megan are the best team to work with, hands down. I'm so sad our day is over, but I could not imagine it happening anywhere else but at Northern Haus. We can't wait to come back and visit again in the future.

At Lake Lucy, you can fully design the wedding of your dreams. Anything is possible! It’s lovely spot for any event of any size, vibe, theme, celebration, etc. This place truly is a blank canvas to create your own unqiue vision into a reality. Mandi and Andy (the owners) are utterly amazing to work with… Open-minded, kind and professional, they truly supported us every step of the way, even more than I personally could have imagined. I cannot say enough good things… My husband, Brennan, and I were married at Lake Lucy on October 1st, 2022. Overall, it was an absolutely wonderful experience on every level, and our 225 guests were more than pleased with all aspects of the ceremony and reception, including the location, food, outdoor setups, etc. It was a beautiful celebration and the guests enjoyed everything about it, even more than expected. Due to unforseeable circumstances, Brennan and I were forced to pivot and make a lot of stressful, last-minute changes within the two weeks just prior to our wedding date. It was frustrating and overwhelming, to say the least. Mandi and Andy took us under their wing, troubleshooting our sudden issues, providing solutions to all of our setbacks and stress, while aleviating our nerves and personal worries. They helped to pick up the pieces and bring our vision to life in ways we could have never anticipated or wished for. We are forever grateful! Our wedding ceremony was held outdoors, next to the lake. We designed our own alter and held the ceremony in a gorgeous spot. Our reception immediately followed, with large seated tent and dance floor, an outdoor bar setup, yard games, live music, food prepared onsite (giant meat smoker), and more. As dusk hit and the evening set-in, there was a giant bonfire by the lake for guest to enjoy, with musicians roaming playing music, before switching over to a DJ to amp-up the party vibe. The property is massive, secure and secluded. A diret road leads you to a private gravel entrace. Our parking was set near our staging area, with special accomidations for handicapped guests. Mandi and Andy own a stunning, large “log-castle” home at the far end of the lake, but the property is open outside of that! The house is mostly removed from view and from access during a wedding, but they opened their basement to the bridal party for pre-wedding needs, giving my gal pals and I a badass place to get ready and relax prior to the event. The basement has a private walkout entrace, full kitchen/BAR, stone fireplace, bedrooms, huge full bathroom with private dressing room kitchen/BAR, movie thetre for watching sports/films, game room with pool table, etc. My bridesmaids and I felt comfortably pampered in this space as we dressed for the event, we sipped chanpaign and shared laughs as a stylist did our hair and makeup onsite. Photographers joined us there to document it too (Mandi included). They turned out to be some of my favorite photos! Once the bridal party was ready, we boarded the back of Andy’s decorated tractor, and he drove us around the lake, down to the wedding site. We arrived in-style, making a grand entrace to the party as guests were mingling before the ceremony. It was perfect, entertaining and super fun! Lake Lucy is natural oasis of nature tucked away in the woods, approx only 10 minutes from the highway, making it accessible to all travelers and guests. Mandi and Andy are outstading, accomidating hosts. Highly recommended! Thank you, Lake Lucy.

We were able to have an amazing intimate gathering with our family and closest friends for not just one night, but two!

We fell in love with Matthaei when we lived in Ann Arbor and always had it in mind as a ceremony venue. Obviously since the site was a botanical garden, it was stunning. We got married in the Perennial Garden late June and everything was in bloom. It made for an absolutely beautiful backdrop for our photos afterward. I have to give a special shout-out to Monica, the events coordinator. She was absolutely on top of her game and was always super quick to get back to us. She even set us up with parasols the morning of to help our guests stay cool in the sun. They were all white so they looked cute in the photos as well! Cost was super reasonable, we paid 1800 for the deluxe package. Definitely recommend that or the premium if you don't want to deal with set up and takedown of the chairs. They did a great job with setup and everything was exactly as we wanted. Monica was also on-site for our rehearsal and helped us with all the last minute questions we had.
