You can’t get a more perfect venue in South Haven than Black River Barn. Nestled near the picturesque lakeside town, in its own wooded arena, for larger weddings, it’s the closest you can get to a venue that has it all.

From the welcome party the night before on Sunset Beach, to the ceremony overlooking the marina, to finally dining and dancing late into the night with Lake Michigan in the background, Dakota and Billy’s day perfectly encapsulated the truly special experience that is a Northern Michigan Wedding.

I had to put a side-by-side of the groom’s jacket change just before the reception. Port393 has champagne on tap if you needed just another reason to book with them, and made a pop of color to the timeless monochromatic tablescape.

Hail! Hail! To the most epic wedding in Ann Arbor, right in the middle of the University of Michigan. Erin and Kyle had everything, from soft romantic florals, to an underground disco-adorned afterparty.

Emily’s statement veil was such an organic element tied into the wedding at Of the Land in Battle Creek Michigan. The colorful field of flowers was the perfect backdrop for a first look.

We loved the old Hollywood glam vibes that Whitney and Christian brought to their wedding at the Grand Rapids Art Museum. After arriving in a classic car they entered through the lavishly covered stair case, and danced into the night to dueling pianos.

Danielle’s green wedding suit may have been my favorite suit of the year. With the high colored floral shirt next to Loni’s sleek white jumpsuit, this couple delivered the looks for their wedding at the Downtown Market in Grand Rapids.

Michelle and Drew’s lavish and moody wedding at The Rutledge was complete with long sheer gloves, gold table lamps, and elegance that touched every corner of the room.

When we have the opportunity to travel to plan a wedding in downtown Chicago, we map out all the best coffee spots and pack our bags. Sam and Kevin’s intimate wedding at Osteria Via Stato in the heart of downtown Chicago gave us that big city feel in a small family setting.

Kaitlind and Nick’s floral lined aisle was a gorgeous entrance into their wedding at Black River Barn in South Haven Michigan. Ending the night with dancing on the patio in front of their giant marquee sign.

I love when brides decide to go bold and Kelcey went bright and BOLD. The way all the colors popped in in the photos from Mitten Tog, obsessed is an understatement!

Downtown Grand Rapids has so much to offer for all our couples. There’s so much history on every corner. We love that venues take a chance on old factories, libraries, and even churches and turn them into gorgeous venues.

We love a northern Michigan wedding on the water, especially if it’s a wedding at the Charlevoix Yacht Club. Holly and Tristan had their first look just steps from the water of Lake Michigan before their ceremony overlooking the marina.

Every part of Marisa and Max’s wedding at The Rutledge was picture perfect. We loved how they were able to visit all the different stops on the “Grand Rapids Tour” from Aquinas to the Canopy Hotel.
