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!!

Flawless Wedding Venue

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Caberfae yesterday and it was absolutely amazing. My fairytale wedding came true thanks to all of the staff at Caberfae; especially Jessica and Steve! Many of our guests commented on how our wedding was the most beautiful they had attended. If you are looking to have your big day here, DO IT! Everything you need in one place; rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, mimosas, huge bathroom for the bridal party to get ready, ceremony site, gorgeous dinner area separate from the dance floor, large dance floor, AND an on site hotel. Thank you again to the staff for making our dreams come true and for being so hospitable to us and our guests.

Best. Day. Ever.

This past weekend my husband and I celebrated our one year wedding anniversary, which means we’ve been dreaming of our wedding day for the past year! Our wedding was truly a dream come true! The entire staff went above and beyond to make our day exactly what we had hoped it would be. Missy fielded DOZENS of emails from me for months on end, never missing a beat to answer any and all questions I had and reassuring me that I wasn’t a bother. We have a huge and young family (30-ish small kids in attendance) and the entire staff went above and beyond to accommodate all the chaos that our crew brought, and truly made it not feel chaotic at all. The staff is a well oiled machine who stick to their timeline and keep everyone on time and on track. It was such a relief to know that they had our backs and took care of it all during the wedding so my husband and I could relax, enjoy it, and feel so present in the moment. We have been yelling from the rooftops about how much we loved the venue, the staff, the pricing, the food, literally all of it! We can’t wait to come back as guests very soon. Thank you Caberfae for the wedding of our dreams!

Wedding Venue

The team at Caberfae Peaks is amazing and made our wedding day a dream come true! The lodge is beautiful and the outdoor ceremony and golf course were the perfect backdrop for our first look. (If you are open to it, we highly recommend this on their timeline, it was one of our favorite parts of our wedding.) The staff is very kind and helpful, it shows that everyone there takes pride in what they do making your day go as smooth as it can. They are willing and able to answer any questions and provide advice that is incredibly helpful. We did not use an additional planner and doing the wedding ourselves we were so grateful for the structure Caberfae provides. Missy not only assisted with the day of planning but was wonderful throughout the planning process and even helped run our rehearsal the day before. We were able to enjoy extra time around the fire by having our rehearsal dinner with Caberfae as well. Allie coordinated our hotel block and was always very friendly to work with. Our friends and family were impressed with the entire day commenting how nice the staff was, the food turned out amazing (including dietary restrictive plates!), and the hotel was very cozy and clean. To summarize we highly recommend Caberfae Peaks!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
