About

Farrand Hall is a historic wedding venue in Colon, Michigan, featuring Greek revival architecture and 12-acres of a beautiful wooded landscape. Initially built in 1854 by Henry K. Farrand, the home boasts luxurious comforts combined with Midwest prairie charm. A striking mansion of white amidst grand old oak and maple trees is a captivating sight to all who enter. Although large, the house is warm and inviting and couples are sure to feel at ease from the moment they enter the estate.

Facilities and Capacity

Couples can enjoy exclusive use of Farrand Hall for their big day with a maximum guest capacity of 100 of their nearest and dearest. Introduction to the house begins the morning of the special day in the bedrooms upstairs. Characterized by chandeliers and four-poster beds, this portion of the house is ideal for getting ready. Moving downstairs for ceremonies, couples can make their vows in a 200-foot clearing surrounded by luscious greenery and mature trees. Afterward, cocktail hour is held on the adjacent patio with delightful antique garden furniture and rustic string lightbulbs hanging from the trees. Guests are welcome to play lawn games such as cornhole and croquet, while drinking from vintage glassware, creating a relaxed atmosphere overall. There is a variety of venue options for the reception such as the garden, a marquee, or in a stone and gravel event space. After the meal, couples can flow between the dance floor and a bonfire. Every corner of the house is sure to delight couples as they celebrate their wedding day to the fullest.

Amazing Wedding Venue

My husband and I were married at Farrand Hall in mid-October 2020 and the wedding was better than I could have ever imagined. James and Jacob met with us to get a better idea of our vision twice, worked behind the scenes to provide the perfect set-up for the day of our weeding, and helped us execute the ceremony and dinner without any stress or worry. Our wedding party was 11 people, which included my husband and I, and we had everything inside. When we arrived, Jacob had the entire first floor set-up and all I brought was name plates for the dinner table. The caterer and florist took care of the rest of the set-up. We stayed the night after our guests left and were able to enjoy a cozy evening in front of the fireplace and had the choice of the 4 bedrooms upstairs. The perfect ending was warming up breakfast that the caterer had prepared and left in the fridge for us the following morning. I can't say enough about Farrand Hall and would recommend them for any event, small or large!

Nature + Whimsy + Vintage = Perfect Wedding!

James and Jacob worked to ensure our intimate wedding had the vibe, energy, & aesthetic that we were looking for; they were very accommodating in helping us create the vision we wanted within their beautiful space and they also connected us to our florist and chef who were wonderful. All in all a near perfect day (weekend, really!) at a serene, magical, natural setting (complete with wildlife!)
