The Milestone Barn 

5.0

Bannister, MI
  • Up to 230 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $3,500

We are located in Bannister, Michigan and were transformed to a barn wedding location in 2011. The owners realized that a rustic and country chic wedding was what they wanted soon after their engagement. Now they hope to bring their vision to others, while maintaining the affordability that allows everyone to enjoy a rustic barn wedding. The Milestone Barn serves the purpose of housing the weddings and other “milestone” events throughout ones life. Whether it’s a wedding, reception, graduation party, prom, or any other gathering, The Milestone Barn will provide you exactly the rustic country, yet elegant feeling you wish to achieve. Perfectly located 10 miles west of Chesaning, The Milestone Barn sits between Lansing, Saginaw and Flint, allowing us to serve the vast majority of lower Michigan.

We got married in August 2018 at The Milestone Barn and it was the wedding of our dreams! The barn and grounds are stunning. I loved everything about my wedding. Carolyn was amazing to work with and always there to answer my questions. People loved the venue so much that we talked about doing it again (minus the wedding part). You won’t regret getting married there. If you are looking for food, hotel, or someone to marry you they have recommendations!! I wouldn’t have changed a thing.

From the moment my husband and I first reached out to Potter Park Zoo, we were impressed by their open, friendly, and flexible communication style. The team, led by the wonderful Jenna, worked seamlessly to ensure our wedding day went off without a hitch. They were incredibly patient and professional, even helping us get around the zoo for our photos in a golf cart! The quality of their work and the overall value they provided was truly outstanding - the space was open, inviting, and just plain fun for us and all of our guests. I received so many compliments from our loved ones about how beautiful the zoo was and how polite the staff was. So many core memories were made at Potter Park, and I am endlessly grateful to Jenna and her team for making our special day as stress-free and magical as possible. Thank you, Potter Park Zoo!

Woldumar Nature Center 

4.5

Lansing, MI
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $2,750

Choosing Woldumar for your Lansing wedding venue will not only provide a beautiful and unforgettable experience for you and your guests, but also will support our nonprofit environmental education efforts - giving you one more reason to smile on your wedding day! Our beautifully maintained grounds are available for your guests to explore, several outdoor locations are superb settings for a memorable ceremony, and the RE Olds Anderson Rotary Barn is a one-of-a-kind rustic venue for your celebratory reception. Imagine your unforgettable Wedding Ceremony held in a beautiful outdoor venue among the enchanting, natural settings found at Woldumar!

Having our wedding at Woldumar was SO, SO special!!! We took the risk of having an August 10 wedding in their barn with no A/C...and we were rewarded with beautiful 70 degree weather. One of their exhaust fans was broken, but they purchased window fans and an industrial fan to keep the air moving. Definitely not an issue for us given our incredible weather, but I was a little nervous in the lead-up. Victoria was SO EASY to work with, I cannot sing her praises enough. From booking until wedding day, she was right there with us. She had fantastic advice on vendors and ceremony details that made things go so smoothly (walking across the bridge was the best idea EVER). The golf cart photo tour was AWESOME, too! My husband and I are very outdoorsy, so it was fun to spend so much time outside on our big day. You can tell the Woldumar staff put a lot of love into their grounds. We got so many compliments on how beautiful everything was! It was truly the perfect venue for us. We didn't even need much decor because the barn and ceremony space are so beautiful on their own. We didn't purchase day-before or day-after barn access which made things a little chaotic. I recommend getting the day-after cleaning, as we were in a mad rush to get things cleaned before midnight on wedding day. The security guard was also very rude during clean up. I'd pay extra to not have to deal with him again... All in all, great venue for the outdoorsy couple! We loved being able to choose all of our own vendors, too. We felt like we had so much creative control, which we wouldn't have gotten at a full-service venue. It's also so comforting to know our money went to a nature center. Much better than a golf course, at least in my opinion!

Cannonsburg 

4.5

Belmont, MI
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $500

Thank you for your interest in us to be a possible selection for your wedding venue! Cannonsburg's classic, rustic elegance creates an atmosphere perfect for your dream wedding. Here at Cannonsburg, we have an option of both indoor or outdoor ceremonies, and three different reception rooms, each with beautiful views of the outdoors. There is also a deck area available to rent as well. In house, we have an amazing culinary team and a chef who can create a delicious menu for your special day! I hope we see you at Cannonsburg!

We were honestly blown away by our wedding reception in the hearthside room in 2023. We were hoping for a low-key, pretty traditional "hall" style reception, where the emphasis would be on friends and family, family, food, and having a good time. The hearthside room was a great backdrop for that--cozy but spacious. The weather was great, and between the entryway/catering level, the main room, and the deck, our guests had a lot of options for hanging out and conversation. We had a few communication challenges due to staff turnover (their main coordinator and their chef both left in the middle of our planning), but chef Justin was great about honoring the original plan we had discussed. A couple of our guests had some pretty big food intolerances, and he made sure they still had plenty to eat. But most of all, I just cannot say enough good things about the food and the staff. Everyone was super helpful, and our guests could not stop talking about the food. There was PLENTY to go around, and Chef Justin and his staff made sure that everyone got their fill. It's a little early for a vow renewal, but we'll be recommending Cannonsburg to our friends and we'll be looking for a reason to host another big party here.
