Wedding 8/17/24

We had our wedding at fox hill event center and we couldn’t have imagined a better day! We felt like it was our own little island tucked in the corner of Cadillac. Beautiful venue with great staff! We unfortunately had rain on and off all day but the staff ensured us that wouldn’t ruin our day! Because of them we were still able to have our ceremony outside due to the quick wiping down of chairs to make sure they were ready for our quests. The whole evening was magical and I highly recommend Fox hill for any event you have!!

Sulen Wedding 2026

Fox Hill is a venue that holds a special place in our hearts. From the first initial message with its owner, Julie Williams, we knew we were in good hands. Julie was so genuine, helpful and communicative in every step of the way for us. She was patient with our questions, flexible with our needs and helpful with solutions. The process throughout includes email updates and reminders to help keep your planning on track. I would find this helpful for many brides as we all know how overwhelming this process can be.

We opted to do the weekend package to have a welcome party on site the evening beforehand. I highly, highly recommend this as it makes it feel like a "destination" wedding without the expensive price tag attached. We were able to hangout with friends, play yard games and enjoy the beauty that Cadillac has to offer. It was perfect.

Fox Hill's open concept is beautiful, clean and efficient in its usage of space. There was plenty of room for our photobooth, DJ, gift table, dessert table, etc. The team was very efficient with set up- the layout and place settings were perfect. We opted to have the bar set up outside which helped with the flow of the inside area. The outdoor area is absolutely beautiful with its lighting and seating options. We had a lot of people utilizing both the inside as well as the outdoor space throughout the night.

For the ladies, the bridal cottage is a GAME CHANGER. Both my bridesmaids and the hair and makeup crew were blown away with how this space is set up so efficiently. With three mirrors and chairs, kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom and a changing room, it really had everything we needed. There is an option to rent it, we did not do that. However, I can see why someone would with its location, character and unique experience.

The dinner options offered were plentiful. We ended up choosing a buffet including honey barbeque salmon and NY strip. Highly recommend the poppyseed dressing with your salad choice! Dinner was delightful as well as served in a timely manner. The clean up was done so swiftly.

Overall, we would 100% choose Fox Hill time and time again. It was such a special experience for us, our family and friends. We cannot say enough good things about this place from their flexibility, teamwork (including communication with not only us, but also our vendors) and dedication to making this the best night of our lives. ALSO- they are dog friendly, HUGE win for us as we were able to have our best friend, Brew, with us.

Would highly recommend Fox Hill Event Center!

10/10 Highly recommend Fox Hill!
If I could give the venue, Julie, and her team 10 stars, I would because they absolutely deserve it. We were married at Fox Hill on 6/20/26 and we were so happy with how everything turned out. The venue offers different packages at booking to fit just about any budget. Julie, the owner, was so kind and responsive that it made the planning of our day easy and stress free. Cindy, our day of coordinator was so sweet and thought of all the little things that I did not. She was amazing! The venue itself is beautiful, so I only had to worry about decorating the tables and the arch for the ceremony. Several of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was. The bridal cottage where my bridesmaids and I got ready is so adorable and convenient. I could take part in decorating while I simultaneously got ready. The food from Blue Heron Cafe was INCREDIBLE. Our friends and family who attended raved about the food, and one of our guests even said it was the best food he’s ever had at a wedding, so we took that as a huge compliment. The staff during dinner and through the evening were so kind and attentive to our guests. Also, there are so many adorable places for photos at the venue, that we only went off site for about 45 mins to get a few shots. The rest were taken right at the venue. I simply cannot say enough good things about Fox Hill. I could write a book, truly. Thank you so much to Julie and her team for helping to make our day so special.

Fox Hill Event Center went above and beyond!

Fox Hill Event Center went above and beyond to make our Wedding Day perfect. From the time we toured the venue to the actual wedding day, all the staff was so lovely and helpful. They offered different packages for every budget and kindly answered all of my questions throughout the wedding planning process. The Bridal cottage made the morning of the wedding so carefree as there was enough space for the hair and makeup artists to do their thing while all of the other bridesmaids were able to relax in a comfortable, clean atmosphere. I loved that it was onsite too!
Tons of my guests commented on how good the food was as well. The atmosphere inside the venue and outside is gorgeous too which made for beautiful pictures and a surreal day. Thank you Julie and Cindy for making our day a dream come true. If I could give 10 stars, I would!

I’d recommend Fox Hill Event Center to anyone!

We chose Fox Hill Event Center because of the venues beautiful atmosphere, affordable prices and prime Location. This venue doesn't just offer the things I just mentioned but amazing people who walk along side you during the entirety of your wedding planning process. Julie at Fox Hill was professional, kind and she took lots of weight off my shoulders. She kindly answered all of my many questions, let us tour the venue multiple different times and provided us with check lists so we didn’t overlook anything. Cindy, the ceremony coordinator went above and beyond on the day of our wedding to make everything run smoothly. She took care of things before I even got a chance to think about them. Also, the Bridal Cottage made the Morning of my wedding unforgettable and care free. There was enough room for myself, my bridesmaids, makeup artist and Hair Stylist. The cottage was very clean and it was so nice being at the venue so we didn’t have to worry about transportation. Fox Hill helped me make my Wedding a dream come true and I would recommend this Venue to anyone!

April 2024 wedding

If you are looking for the highest quality wedding venue when it comes to how it looks, the food, even the service of those that you are in contact with, then you have found the place. Julie, the owner was super quick and responsive when it came to any questions that I had before and after booking the venue. The amount of detail that goes into the venue its self is amazing. We barley had to spend any money on decorations because it was already cute to begin with. The food served was amazing. The chef was willing to answer questions for us when it came to food sensitivities of guest that we had coming. The fact that the venue also took care of the catering made it seamless. And when it came to the end of the night, we just had to take what we brought and they handled the rest. Truly one of the best venues I've seen all around!

The perfect day!

After meeting with Julie and getting a tour of Fox Hill, we instantly knew it was the perfect location for our fall wedding. Throughout the process, Fox Hill was always prompt with responding to our inquires, gave excellent recommendations for vendors, and did an amazing job setting up the ceremony and reception spaces. We couldn’t have been more happy with our special day!

Amazing from start to finish!

Fox hill event center was an absolute joy to work with. Julie goes above and beyond and leaves no detail behind! She was so organized and easy to work with; when I say I had minimal stress the day of I mean it! I know between my awesome vendors everything would be taken care of. The venue itself is so beautiful it doesn’t need much else to make it your own and absolutely gorgeous! The lights in the courtyard add just enough “romance”. The property with the fall leaves and the sun peaking in was the best photo op! Thank you Julie for everything you were amazing!!!
