Hands down the best Wedding Venue we could have asked for!! :)

My husband and I got married at Caberfae Peaks Ski & Golf Resort in July of 2025, and I can honestly say it was everything we dreamed of and more! The venue is absolutely stunning, especially in the summer.

I actually booked the venue sight unseen! My husband had been to a wedding there previously and absolutely loved it, and when we started looking for venues in July 2024, there were only six Saturday dates available at Caberfae for 2025. I was honestly in a panic because we wanted to get married there, and knew we had to act fast. After watching videos and looking through pictures on the Caberfae website and Facebook page, I called back the very next day because I knew there were a few other brides interested in our date too. We booked it, and we truly couldn’t have been happier with that decision!

A few weeks after booking, we scheduled a tour at Caberfae and got to meet the wonderful head of sales, Missy. She was 100% the reason our wedding went off without a hitch! She’s truly incredible and I can’t rave about her enough!! :) I’m extremely detail-oriented, so I called Missy multiple times after booking with a million questions, and she was always so wonderful and helpful. She would spend hours on the phone with me if it meant giving me peace of mind and helping my type-A brain chat through all the details lol.

I have dietary restrictions and can’t eat gluten or dairy, and both Missy and the chef were amazing about making sure I had delicious food to eat on my wedding day. Missy, Jessica, and the rest of the staff at Caberfae clearly know what they’re doing—they’ve run more weddings than I can count! The entire team treated us like family and did everything they could to make sure our day ran smoothly!! They helped plan our timeline and communicated with all of our vendors on the day of the wedding to make sure everyone was on the same page.

One of our favorite parts about booking Caberfae Peaks was being able to reserve all 40 rooms of their on-site hotel for our wedding night. We had around 180 guests, so it made perfect sense for us to book out the entire hotel. One of my husband’s favorite perks was that even though our reception ended around 11, our guests were able to continue hanging out at the outdoor pool, bonfire, and hot tub until 2am! We absolutely loved that we got to keep the party going all night and that our wedding didn’t end when the reception did!

The reception space was beyond beautiful, and the food was to die for!! We received so many compliments from our guests about it, and to this day, my husband still raves about the parmesan crusted potatoes! The team was also super accommodating and was able to make everything gluten-free, and also offered vegan dishes since we had so many guests with dietary restrictions.

We also loved that Caberfae hosts the “Taste of Caberfae” event for their couples. It was such a fun experience to try the food ahead of time and meet some local vendors!

It’s been about 8 months since our wedding (clearly I’m late writing this lol), and we STILL have people telling us it was one of the best weddings they’ve ever been to!! And truly, so much of that is thanks to Caberfae and their team. They made our entire weekend feel effortless, beautiful, and so magical.
If you’re even considering getting married here—do it! I would HIGHLY recommend them to any couple looking for an amazing venue because we would choose Caberfae Peaks over and over again! :)

Stevens Wedding 9-13-2024

Caberfae Peaks was perfect. The value for this wedding is unmatched and the food, service and environment makes this best place to get married in Michigan. The proximity between the hotel, outside cerimony and reception hall were a huge bonus! It is all walking distance and on the day of the wedding, having the ability to not have to leave and wait around family and friends is great. The pool is a great time and as was the hot tub.

Now, for dinner, desserts and drinks, top notch. We received so many compliments on the food and drink offerings that still get received to this day.
The bar was full stocked, kept up with the pace and we were very happy with how it turned out.

The dinner was amazing, we did the tenderloin, GET the au gratin potatoes. ONe of the unsung heroes is the late night food offerings. We chose the pizza option and trust me, it was a life save for a lot of people. As the hotel/resort is a short distance from the town (With limited food options) it helped our guests not to look for the late snack.

I feel like I'm going in circles about this experience but it was truly, the most beautiful wedding I've been a part of and my wife and I are lucky to say it was ours.

We chose the provided vendor to spruce up the space and cermony outside with lights, drapery, and other options, it was great. The DJ we chose was not the main vendor for the venue but was tremendous and priced great.

The help at Caberfae between Misty and Jess was vital and they were amazing. I called Jess a lot and if she didn't answer right away, she would call within an hour or less. I'd suggest attending the 'Taste of Caberfae' which features the main vendors for the service like DJ, food tasting, flowers, etc.

Lastly, is the beauty of the ski lodge and entire resort. The wood, different floors, outside, it was a wedding I thought I could only imagine to happen and we're lucky we chose this location.

Go here for the value, the beauty, the attentiveness, the fun and the memories.
I'd rate this entire place 10 starts out of 5 if I could.

Such a wonderful unique experience

I can't believe that we found this place for our wedding venue. We are now 6 months happily married and I still often think back to our perfect wedding day. Everybody at Caberfae was so accommodating and lovely, especially our coordinator, Missy. We even got to go to the top of the hill for some beautiful shots!

If you're able to snag a date with these guys, go for it! Food was wonderful, they took care of almost everything, and we're so happy we have a place to come back to and ski for our semi-anniversaries 😄

Only downside is it was one of the hottest days of the year, so I can't even count it against them but it did get warm in the lodge even though it's air conditioned.

Amazing wedding venue!

Our wedding at Caberfae was amazing and we couldn’t recommend this venue enough! The staff was incredible, and our coordinator, Jessica, was truly outstanding. She answered every question we had, was extremely organized, and helped ensure our day ran smoothly from start to finish. The venue itself is beautiful and very well maintained. We also really appreciated how upfront and transparent they were about all cost. It’s definitely a more affordable venue with everything that they include in their package. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our wedding and would highly recommend this venue to any couple.

The Best Wedding We Could Have Imagined

We got married in August 2025, and it was absolutely perfect. Jess, our coordinator, is the BEST. She was incredibly responsive, organized, and always there for anything we needed. We truly can’t say enough good things about her.

We turned our wedding into a full weekend celebration for guests traveling from all over. On Friday, the wedding party enjoyed a round of golf, followed by our rehearsal and dinner at Beaties, and welcome drinks by the pool. Waking up on property Saturday morning and getting ready there was such a treat. The guys even squeezed in another round of golf! We loved having snacks, mimosas, and lunch while getting ready, and it was so convenient having everything right there. Being able to run back to our room to grab something or freshen up throughout the day made everything so easy and stress-free.

The ceremony and reception were perfect. The property looked stunning, the table settings were beautiful, the food was delicious, the champagne toast was wonderful, and the late-night pizza was a huge hit. Caberfae also works with amazing vendors that truly make the day seamless. A family member made our cake, and it was cut free of charge. The décor and floral vendor was fantastic as well.

From the gorgeous property to the incredible staff, we can’t say enough positive things. Jess even stepped in to bartend so Steve could drive us up for sunset photos, which meant so much to us. One of our favorite parts was having the pool open until 2 a.m. It made for the perfect after-party following the reception. The next morning, our guests also loved the brunch at Beaties.

We highly recommend Caberfae. Our weekend was unforgettable, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It's going to be so special to come back and ski year after year!

Caberfae Peaks: The Perfect Venue for Our Wedding

From the very start, Missy was prompt and clear in her communication and planning. Caberfae offers an affordable range of package options. We were fortunate to have Jessica as our coordinator, and she was truly incredible. Being several hours away from home, we appreciated the numerous on-site services available, including catering and bartending for both the rehearsal dinner and reception, as well as convenient lodging. Jessica was always accessible and thought of every detail, maintaining a calm demeanor and a desire for everything to be perfect for us and our guests.

One of Caberfae's standout features was the Taste of Caberfae event, where we and our family could meet local vendors and sample their food choices. Our guests praised the staff (especially the chef and bartender Steve!) throughout the evening for their outstanding hospitality. The late-night pizza was particularly popular, and everyone enjoyed it. All our guests had an amazing time at our wedding, and they continued to rave about it long after the event. If you are considering Caberfae for your wedding, you will not be disappointed!

Perfect in every way!

The affordability of Caberfae is what first drew us in, then the fact that lodging could be on site really sealed the deal. Our entire day was perfect and I never once had to worry about everything being perfect, Caberfae made sure it was done. I highly recommend them to any future bride/ groom!

Best. Day. Ever. Thanks to Caberfae!

From the very beginning, meeting with Missy, to planning out every detail with Jessica, all the way til the very last dance, our time with Caberfae Peaks was beyond our expectations! Super accommodating with every need we had and the setting was absolutely perfect! Hotel rooms for our guests, late night snacks during the dance party, and even a taste of Caberfae for us to try their delicious food!!

After looking at venues all over Michigan, we feel that we ended up having a lot more opportunity with Caberfae for the price than we would have anywhere else!

June 2025 wedding

My husband and I got married at Caberfae in June and could not have asked for a better wedding. We are from the Lansing area and toured so many venues in our area and just could not find something that worked for us. We reached out to Caberfae and booked sight unseen. Melissa and jessica our coordinator were so friendly, professional and helpful in answering all of my questions. The weekend of our wedding they went above and beyond to make sure everything went perfect. They ran our rehearsal, helped set up, talked to vendors and kept us on our timeline. The venue was absolutely gorgeous and we loved having the hotel and pool open after the ceremony ended. I could not recommend Caberfae enough!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
