I'm a wedding photographer in the Mid Michigan area. I had the pleasure of working a wedding here early this season and enjoyed the experience! They were so accommodating to the couple who had to move their ceremony inside due to weather. And it went beautifully! I loved the look and how spacious the getting ready room was. And the newest remodels look absolutely stunning! I hope to be invited back for another wedding soon!

We received so many compliments on how beautiful everything was and more on how fantastic Rose and the staff were. Weddings are a big deal, and we cannot thank everyone at the Gallagher property for helping making our day perfect! Highly recommend tying the knot here, you won’t regret a single thing.

My wedding at the Embers and Ash Farmhouse was truly a dream come true! From the moment we toured the property, we knew it was the perfect place to say “I do.” The rustic charm of the barn was breathtaking, it was the perfect space for our band to play and for dancing. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how magical it all felt. The carriage house made for the perfect bridal suite, giving me a private, cozy space to relax and get ready with my girls. The staff was so attentive, making sure everything went smoothly and that we felt completely taken care of. For dinner, we opted for a whole hog roast right on the property, and it was an unforgettable experience. It added such a fun and unique touch to the evening, and the food was absolutely delicious. The night ended with a spectacular firework show as the sun went down—it was the perfect grand finale to our perfect day. Every detail, from the stunning views to the warm ambiance, was more than I ever could have hoped for. Embers and Ash gave us a wedding we’ll remember forever, and we can’t recommend it enough!

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

  • Rustic-chic setting
