A Warm Welcome: Your Tour Begins
From the moment you arrive at Celestial Farms, you'll be greeted with the warm hospitality that defines our approach to wedding planning. We understand that touring a wedding venue is an exciting but often overwhelming step in the planning process, so we make sure that your experience is relaxed, enjoyable, and informative.
As you step onto the property, you'll notice the natural beauty that surrounds our venue. Rolling green fields, beautiful trees, our pond and waterfall and the charm of a modern barn create a serene and welcoming atmosphere. This is where your journey to creating your dream wedding begins.
The Venue Walkthrough: Discovering Each Space
Your tour of Celestial Farms starts with a comprehensive walkthrough of the venue. We'll take you through each space, giving you a detailed look at what your wedding could look like here in each space. Our modern barn is designed to be both versatile and beautiful, offering a blank canvas that can be tailored to your style, whether you’re envisioning a classic, elegant celebration or a rustic, country-chic affair, every style fits.
The Barn: The heart of Celestial Farms is our modern barn, a stunning space that combines rustic charm with contemporary amenities. As you arrive you’ll notice the original cedar siding that has aged beautifully on what used to be a horse barn. When you walk through the barn, you'll notice the high black open beam ceilings, and large windows that allow natural light to pour in, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. This is where most of our couples choose to host their reception, and we'll show you how the space can be arranged to accommodate everything from a grand dinner to a lively dance floor.
The Ceremony Spaces: One of the unique aspects of Celestial Farms is the variety of options you have for your ceremony. During your tour, we'll show you several potential ceremony spots on the property. Whether you prefer a picturesque outdoor setting with the barn as your backdrop, a more intimate garden ceremony, or even a custom setup in a less traditional location such as on the opposite side of the pond which is something I’m totally looking forward to at the end of this month, we’ll help you visualize all the possibilities. Our venue offers the flexibility to create a ceremony space that’s perfectly suited to your vision, whether that’s under the open sky or nestled among the trees, under our new pavilion, or a winter outdoor heated pavilion ceremony like the one we have planned this November. We have so many great ideas and unique events to look forward to this year!
The Bridal Suite and Groom’s Lounge: We’ll also guide you through our bridal suite and groom’s lounge, two private dressing spaces designed to give you and your wedding party a comfortable and luxurious place to prepare for the big day. The bridal suite is spacious, filled with natural light, and equipped with everything you need for hair, makeup, and those special pre-wedding moments with your bridal party. It’s a climate controlled building of its own, assuring privacy for our bridal party. It even features a kitchenette and a refrigerator for those early morning mimosas and snacks! The groom’s lounge in our barn offers a relaxed atmosphere where the groom and groomsmen can unwind, enjoy some downtime, and get ready for the celebration. Want to switch things up? Both suites are neutral in color and fit for both men and women, so you can use each dressing suite as you choose.
The Pavilion: our versatile pavilion space is used for many different purposes. It's most popular use is a cocktail hour space with our chiavari barstools and cocktail tables. Our three restrooms for this area are super conveniently located. You can also use the pavilion as your ceremony space, or as a backup ceremony space for weather. Sometimes the pavilion is just a nice place to get some fresh air during the party. And we're so excited for our WINTER WEDDING this November with an outdoor ceremony under the pavilion!
A Venue with History: From Horse Farm to Wedding Haven
As you tour Celestial Farms, you’ll learn about the rich history of our venue. Before it became the beloved wedding destination it is today, Celestial Farms was a working horse farm and barn. The barn itself has been carefully restored to maintain its rustic charm while being updated with modern amenities such as a complete hvac system to accommodate year round weddings and events.
The transformation from a horse farm to a wedding venue was a labor of love, driven by our passion for creating a space where couples could celebrate their love stories. We’ve kept the original character of the property intact, with the barn's structure and many of its features serving as a nod to its past. During your tour, we’ll share stories about the barn's history and how it evolved into the stunning Michigan wedding venue it is today.
