Ancestral Acres Lodge and Barn was the perfect venue for our wedding in October! Bill was accommodating and thorough to make sure we had all of the information we needed, and was so easy to work with! The barn is elegant and offers the most picturesque canvas for a wedding/reception. The grounds are beautiful, and the hardest part of the entire process was picking which backdrop we wanted for the ceremony! From being able to bring in a food truck for the rehearsal, to having on-site barbecue for the ceremony, to using the stunning 3rd floor to get ready on, Bill let us run with any and all ideas we had! I couldn't recommend them more!

Our wedding day could not have been more perfect, and Ancestral Acres played a huge role in making our day a dream come true! The owner, Bill, was wonderful to work with and always answered any questions we threw his way in such a timely manner. As stressful as wedding planning can be, Bill was one of the easiest vendors to work with, and we were so thankful for that. The house, the barn, the landscaping, and the scenery truly make Ancestral Acres a dream venue for a wedding. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone who is considering it!

Planning a wedding during 2020 was NOT a simple task! It was even more difficult as we are local to the Chicago suburbs, yet were planning a wedding in Michigan. Once we found Ancestral Acres Lodge, however, our wedding began falling into place. William was a pleasure to talk with and answered our many questions over the next several months. He was flexible with our schedule, provided local recommendations, and was on site to assist our friends and family with both set up and tear down. The lodge had ample room for our entire wedding party to stay with us the entire weekend plus provided a convenient location to get ready. It was such an honor for us to have our wedding at a venue with so much history!
