About

Heritage Wedding Barns is a wedding venue in Shelby, Michigan, just minutes from Lake Michigan's sunsets and sandy shores. This 1892 picturesque barn was relocated and restored with modern amenities. The beautiful 27-acre property has been family-owned since 1922, and now, Heritage Wedding Barns welcomes couples to be part of its rich heritage on their special day.

Heritage Wedding Barns boasts four stunning event spaces for up to 250 guests celebrating your big day! The ceremony site is located in the quiet serenity of the willow tree, with pretty white benches for loved ones to witness your wedding vows. Alternatively, couples can journey down the aisle on the landscaped patio, conveniently located at the barn's lower level. The upper-level event space, which features historic wooden beams, chandelier lighting, and reclaimed brick accents, is perfect for indoor ceremonies. The lower level of the property even features a 28-foot custom wood and brick bar where people can enjoy appetizers and drinks after the ceremony. This venue also sets the stage for a fine dining experience with a spacious hall and large open barn doors welcoming the Lake Michigan breeze.

The team focuses on your comfort and enjoyment, providing a heated/AC bridal suite, groom's room, and full bathrooms. The property offers on-site parking, and the facility is wheelchair-accessible (ADA-compliant). There is a separate entrance and parking for vendors to service your event and a large kitchen for caterers.

Heritage Wedding Barns offers one-day and two-day packages, including custom table layouts, setup of tables and chairs, whiskey barrels, and patio furniture. Our on-site staff provides comprehensive support from start to finish, ensuring the day runs seamlessly. They also offer golf cart transportation and bathroom servicing.

Your wedding is an occasion for joy and celebration. It marks the start of a new, exciting chapter in your life, and our team wants to be a part of your unique love story.

Great from start to finish

The wife and I have been going to Silver Lake for years and always passed the barn from when it was nothing. We enjoyed watching it grow to something magnificent. We toured a few venues prior to meeting Jen and Sam just to get a feel even though we both knew HWB would be our spot. We are east siders but meeting with them felt like home. They were so easy to keep in touch with and plan; Thats saying a lot because we got married during covid when things were being shut down and restricted. I highly recommend HWB and I hope you enjoy it too!!

Stunning venue!

This venue was beautiful for our day. We had so many compliments and it had everything we needed! The benches at the willow tree were beautiful and the two levels of the venue worked perfectly for cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. Couldn’t have been better.

Couldn't ask for more!

This venue is absolutely stunning. They are still pretty new, but the owners are very personable and professional. The barn is very historical and has many beautiful craftsman touches. There are many options for layouts according to what you would like along with all the set up materials needed. Can't go wrong with Heritage Wedding Barns!! (also, very affordable for what they offer!)
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
