Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- You'll find over 100 acres of natural beauty at this southwestern Michigan treasure, and so many incredible photo opportunities, including a romantic footbridge, working waterwheel, miniature railway, and Japanese garden.
- They're outfitted for weddings both large and small, whether it's a grand affair on The Green, with its stunning stone dovecote and lawn flanked by herb gardens, or an intimate elopement with just you and your love in a secluded woodland clearing.
- Your rental helps support the Garden in its ongoing efforts to provide a safe and educational place to explore the outdoors, and to protect and shelter some of the area's most fragile ecosystems.
