Best Wedding Venues in Michigan

A guide to what we think are some of the best wedding venues in Michigan.

We hope you find some inspiration here to locate the perfect wedding venue to suit your style. From swanky and modern to campy and fun, the Mitten State has you covered!

The Peninsula Room in Traverse City became a new favorite venue in Northern Michigan as soon as we were welcomed by vineyards, and huge oaks and pine resting along the shore of West Grand Traverse Bay.

Genevieve’s Suite at the historic Bower’s Harbor Inn on the grounds is the perfect space to prepare. It has a charming, vintage vibe that’s relaxing and comforting.

The outdoor patio (complete with an outdoor fire pit), gardens, and vineyards to stroll in are perfect for cocktail hour. These areas are also great for your photos! At dinner, you’ll find The Peninsula Room’s menu is a delicious refection of Michigan’s bounty. Your farm to table meal will be house made and locally sourced when possible. This is not your average reception meal. Pizza from The Jolly Pumpkin (onsite) is the perfect late night snack to end your celebration with.

Sonshine Barn in Gaylord, Michigan, has one of the most beautiful barns we have ever seen! It’s down home and elegant at the same time, kinda like when you wear your diamond earrings with your favorite worn in jeans.
