Words can't express how perfect our wedding was at Timberlee Hills this June. But as a start, the venue is breathtaking, and the team works hard to maintain it and make it a perfect spot for ceremonies and receptions. Jessie is the kindest, most hard-working person—she handles everything and makes it look easy. We were able to stop by a couple times before the day to take measurements and see the space, and Jessie answered every question we asked in a timely manner. On the day of the wedding, not enough can be said about just how smoothly everything went, and we did not have a wedding coordinator, so it was truly Jessie and her team running everything. Someone from Timberlee was there at every turn, guiding vendors and guests, helping us transition to the reception, even carrying a table for us to place drinks on when we were getting photos. The getting ready space for the bridal party is amazing and spacious, and the guests loved the view, the games, and the bonfire. There were so many seemingly small things Timberlee did for us that I'll never forget. Timberlee is such a special place, and I could go on and on, but it really was the most beautiful and joyous day.

The Foxglove Farm 

5.0

Suttons Bay, MI
  • Up to 160 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $10,000

The Foxglove Farm aims to marry the beauty of the Leelanau Peninsula's natural elements with simplistic and modern design. Within the 130 year old barn are clean lines, consistent outlines of contrast and a color palette reflective of the wide open view from the cherry orchard. We believe that no two events should look the same at The Foxglove Farm. By offering a forest alcove, orchard inset, restored barn, wildflower field & lakeview outlook, the options are endless. Whether you're looking for a dark, moody farm-to-table gathering in the woods or an intimate ceremony enveloped by cherry blossoms, the 140 acres are yours to set the scene. Please reach out through our website if you don't hear back from us here on Zola!

Why you'll love this venue

  • Dressing room available
  • Natural elegance with open spaces
  • Both indoor and outdoor options

Venue considerations

  • No on-premises lodging options
  • Couple must handle cleanup and setup
  • No in-house catering options
The Foxglove Farm is by far one of the most special venues in Northern Michigan, if not all of Michigan. The Barnes family took such care and gave deep consideration to the property's history and how it could best serve their clients & community when restoring the barn and planning out the space. You feel the family's warmth and thoughtfulness around every corner--whether you're a client or a vendor. From a design perspective, one of the things that I love about Foxglove is that the space really speaks for itself; not much is needed, yet so much can be done to enhance the natural beauty and make the event "yours." If I could only ever work at Foxglove, I gladly would... heck, if I could live at Foxglove I'd move in tomorrow!

Our wedding day was so special, and the team at Greystone Weddings made sure we didn’t have to lift a finger. We chose a date and what we wanted, and they made it happen! Robert, the owner, made planning and decision making simple. He had great suggestions and really took the weight off of our shoulders when it came to what the day would/should look like. He also helped us plan a fabulous honeymoon! The venue is already beautiful and didn’t need any decorating. I didn’t buy any decorations for the venue, all decorations were provided by Greystone. The DJ, Tony, is incredibly talented and accommodated all of our requests. He had great song choices and really kept the party going! The food was excellent, some of the best entrees I’ve had. It felt like a 5 star restaurant. The servers plated our food and carried it to the table for us! Emily made sure to let us know she would heat up some food for our 5 year old if she got hungry later on. We really appreciated that! Last but not least, the owner and wedding coordinator Jo was so kind and accommodating. If there was something we needed or requested (within reason) she made it happen. She made sure the ceremony and the evening ran smoothly, and she was there to take care of us and our guests. Jo also helped us run through the ceremony at rehearsal dinner. We can’t thank Robert and Jo enough for their incredible hospitality, genuine courtesy and support. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that’s visually stunning and will quite literally make your dreams come true, look no further. Greystone made OUR dreams come true! - Hannah & Ignacio Villarreal

Farm at Frog Hollow 
Boyne City, MI
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor & indoor
  • Starts at $400

The Farm at Frog Hollow is an event venue with a difference. Architecturally, the barn is referred to as a “monitor” style, and its distinctive look was developed in the 1890s. Remember, that before weddings took over, barns were first and foremost a dwelling for livestock and a repository for hay and grain, and the monitor design created optimal flow of air and light, better both for the animals and their feed. So, how does that translate into spaces for 21st century events? Frog Hollow is comfortable and cozy, intimate when it needs to be. The Farm at Frog Hollow lends itself seamlessly to a myriad of events, from weddings to parties, from showers to concerts. The barn is warm and inviting for small gatherings, but spacious expansive enough for groups up to 250. High-tech capabilities expand the possibilities, the new tented patio welcomes even larger guest lists, and a professional kitchen is perfect for staging. Just imagine of all the things you can do

Why you'll love this venue

  • Has a dance floor for celebration
  • Rustic-chic setting
  • Caters to out-of-town guests
