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.

Bucks Run is a beautiful wedding venue! If we had to get married again, we would choose this venue without any hesitation. My husband is an avid golfer and I love the water, and this met both of our wants. The lake in the background of the ceremony is so pretty, and this lake can also be seen in the reception space. And it's a golf course so my husband was happy about that. Ha! When we were initially looking for a venue, we reached out to a few other local golf courses, but Amy was prompt in her response and I could tell from our first few initial emails that Bucks Run was going to be the place for us. The food is AMAZING (I only wish we could take leftovers). The staff was AMAZING and super kind to all of our guests. And Amy was AMAZING. She was always quick to respond, even when I wasn't expecting a quick reply. Her answers were always clear, and she made sure that we had everything we wanted for our big day. I cannot recommend this venue enough. You won't regret it!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a beautiful wedding ceremony at Creekside Gathering Place in late September 2024. It was actually the only venue we visited, because as soon as we met Joni and saw the beautiful outdoor ceremony space and the cozy historic barn/reception space, we were in. Joni is so great, she feels like family to us now. The wedding planner, Katie, is essential to making everything run smoothly. She went above and beyond communicating with us and organizing everything. She made sure that we didn't have to do anything other than enjoy ourselves--from the ceremony, to dancing, drinking champagne, and cutting cake--she was amazing. Joni did a beautiful job with our ceremony, and she arranged the most gorgeous flowers. Also the photographer Kellyn is very focused and detail-oriented. She works hard to make sure the pictures are perfect, and she made us feel comfortable. A huge thanks to Creekside for giving us a beautiful day that we will always remember so fondly.
