Surrounded by the natural beauty of northern Michigan, our outdoor ceremony space offers stunning panoramic views with the privacy you desire. Complete with perennial gardens, a waterfall, and a pond, it’s a short walk from the lodge and ample parking. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, a backup indoor ceremony site is also available.

Bay View Weddings at Gallagher Farms opened in the spring of 2019 as a premier wedding and events venue located in the beautiful and unforgettable Traverse City and Leelanau County, Michigan. Bay View Weddings offers a multitude of options to consider for your wedding day including a breathtaking view on our hill top overlooking Grand Traverse Bay, a wedding destination that overlooks miles of Leelanau and Grand Traverse Counties, a quaint and calm little pond for a beautiful small wedding ceremony, and orchard ceremonies that may include beautiful white blossoms in early spring and gorgeous red cherries during the summer. Our farm offers a relaxing and breathtaking destination that will provide an environment to feel and enjoy every moment of your wedding or special event. It is our hope to provide our guests with the time to be with family and loved ones in the setting of their dreams.

While still maintaining modern elegance, Kirkbride Hall’s history of being a chapel allows it to become a venue that effortlessly blends tradition and innovation. With the ability to select your own caterer, beverage and floor plans, you can thoughtfully create your dream wedding. Keep your guests entertained all in one location by booking your ceremony and/or reception outdoors on our Historic Front Lawn, home to the largest northern Michigan arboretum, or within Kirkbride Hall.

The Foxglove Farm aims to marry the beauty of the Leelanau Peninsula's natural elements with simplistic and modern design. Within the 130 year old barn are clean lines, consistent outlines of contrast and a color palette reflective of the wide open view from the cherry orchard. We believe that no two events should look the same at The Foxglove Farm. By offering a forest alcove, orchard inset, restored barn, wildflower field & lakeview outlook, the options are endless. Whether you're looking for a dark, moody farm-to-table gathering in the woods or an intimate ceremony enveloped by cherry blossoms, the 140 acres are yours to set the scene.
