  • Serves Whitmore Lake, MI

Zingerman’s Bakehouse is an artisanal bakery with a baking school in Ann Arbor, Michigan. We started 30 years ago as a simple bread bakery with a single customer, Zingerman’s Delicatessen. Today we make bread, pastries, cakes, lunch items (and so much more!) that we proudly serve to guests in our bustling shop, our Zingerman’s partner businesses, the southeastern Michigan community and beyond.


Awarded Best of Zola
We LOVED working with Zingerman's for our wedding cake and could not give a more positive recommendation! The entire process from cake tasting to finalizing details was very easy to navigate. Every single flavor we tasted from Zingerman's was delicious and the experience of working with their cake designer was such a fun part of wedding planning. I did not have an exact image of the cake I wanted and Zingerman's helped take elements of everything we liked to create something that was uniquely our own. We are looking forward to ordering our future anniversary cakes from Zingerman's!

As a Visual Folklore couple you'll have lots of time with Christine to collaborate on your dream images. If you're looking for a hands-on, helpful, and fun photographer, look no further! I'm here for you!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot begin to talk about how wonderful Christine is--as a professional, as an artist, but as an individual who deeply cares about her craft and the people she is creating memories for. Christine is spunky and makes even the stiffest models let loose; she makes being photographed comfortable and enjoyable. Her photos truly do speak for themselves. She does an amazing job capturing personalities, candids, but also the deeply emotional and sentimental moments and portraits every bride and groom want to have from their wedding day. Through our engagement session and wedding day, you can truly see our love for each other and personalities shine through in her images. This is truly because of the thoughtfulness, passion, and love Christine has for her profession and the couples she photographs. I cannot emphasize enough that you need Visual Folklore for your wedding or other significant life event!

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 :)

Linnie is great at her craft! She did everything she could to empower and coach us into really just feeling like our best selves on our wedding day. At no point did we feel self-conscious, which was amazing because neither my husband or I are naturals in front of the camera. We will cherish our photos for a lifetime. I’d recommend her for a wedding any day!

You want your wedding photos to look and feel like you. You don’t want to turn the pages of your album years from now and wonder why unnatural colors were ever a photography trend, and you don’t want to regret looking overly posed or awkward. That’s where I come in.

Awarded Best of Zola
I won a 50% off of a package through the company she shoots through and I really wanted Kelsey as our photographer. I immediately emailed her and she made a wonderful, somewhat customized package for our wedding that offered a lot for a great price! Kelsey is an amazing photographer and person to work with. She made sure we had everything set and ready to go and was very professional. She even drove the 2 hours one way to shoot our wedding! Not only did I love our wedding photos she edited, but the photos she showed us after taking them were amazing in of themselves. Very pleased with her and her work!

Since 2007, I have truly enjoyed sharing music and great times with old friends and new. From a cross country trip to Reno or a house party here in Ann Arbor, each gig has been a gift of sounds and fun for me. I believe the right music can bring people together in a way nothing else can - making a good time great, and a great time unforgettable. I really can’t even call this my “job”, it is an opportunity to make people happy and share my love of music. The music... THE song that takes you back to a memory of past days or a new one you just made.

Patrick was professional, easy to work with and very patient. He did an excellent job and we would use him again in a minute. Tried very hard to have something for everyone, and give the bride and groom exactly what they wanted. Very impressed!!

I've been photographing weddings full time since 2011. When I'm not chasing after wedding parties, my husband and I live to travel.

We met at the University of Michigan and we stayed in Ann Arbor because it felt too much like home to leave.

Follow along on instagram (sweetheatheranne) to see our latest creations!

Sweet Heather Anne made the cake for our September 2022 wedding and it was absolutely amazing!! They made the whole process so easy and the cake was BEAUTIFUL. We gave Heather freedom to make a design that fit to our wedding colors and mood board and she knocked it out of the park. Our cake had sugar flowers on it which were so realistic that many guests thought they were real flowers. The best part is that the sugar flowers were saved when the cake was cut, so we actually still have them now in a vase as decoration in our home, which always reminds us of the beautiful day :) We had two flavors: chocolate praline and blood orange olive oil. I am something of a cake snob and would never serve a cake made with american buttercream at my wedding. SHA makes a swiss meringue buttercream that uses local dairy ingredients! The cake was so delicious and our guests raved about it, especially the blood orange olive oil flavor. The chocolate praline was my personal favorite. You can't go wrong with SHA! We give them 10/5 stars! 3

We were very happy we booked our ceremony at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. First of all, the gardens were gorgeous. We had our wedding in early June in the Perennial Gardens, and it's even more beautiful than it looks in photos. During the planning process, Monica was very easy to reach and very organized. We live out of state, but Monica was able to give a tour to my family (who live in town) while my husband and I were on FaceTime so we could see the space, and even gave us another tour once we were in town. We didn't have a day-of coordinator, but we really didn't need one with all of Monica's help. Monica helped us run the rehearsal (along with our officiant), and had assistants on the day of the wedding helping everything run smoothly. They had spaces for the bridal party to "hide" before the ceremony and took us through a back-entrance to the garden so the guests wouldn't see us before the ceremony. They helped us get lined up on time, and Monica even adjusted my dress and veil before walking down the aisle. From our guests perspective, parking was easy and there were signs directing them to the ceremony location. Given that this is an outdoor venue, there's always the risk of rain. However, Monica can help you pick the right time of year to minimize your risk. There's also information on the website about which gardens are at their peak bloom at different times of the year. Overall, we had a fantastic experience with Matthaei! We would recommend this location to anyone looking for an outdoor wedding.

We have also been host to many University of Michigan department functions and have menus that are geared towards fitting the UM guidelines to make the planning process hitch-free.

Venue considerations

  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • Better for more intimiate events
  • Dance floor not included
I recently hosted an event upstairs at Peridot and it was amazing! The space was beautiful, intimate and private for our group. The staff from initial inquiry to menu planning to bartenders and servers could not have been better. I was already in love with the food and drinks prior to booking the space and the quality was absolutely equal to downstairs. This will be my go to space for any future events of this size.
