About

On WeddingWire since 2018

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.

Incredible barn wedding venue

heritage wedding barns was amazing. we received so many compliments on how beautiful our wedding was and how gorgeous the barn is. Jennifer (the barn owner) is incredible to work with, as well as her coworkers, Rhonda & Sarah, who were extremely helpful in the days leading up to the wedding and the day of. It rained on our wedding day so we had a lot of last minute changes to be made and Jen and her girls were SO helpful and still made my wedding dreams come true!! I can't stress how perfect this day was. The bar is massive and gorgeous. the upstairs part of the barn is well lit and airy with the barn doors open. lots of space in the downstairs area (even for my 215 guest count). Amazing patio with cocktail tables and cozy patio furniture. Jen was extremely responsive and very kind, always answering any questions i had. Vendors enjoyed coming to the barn and it was a very smooth day. Thank you Heritage Wedding Barns!!

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.

Beautiful venue

Very beautiful venue. If your looking for a barn or country wedding this is the place to go. Beautiful barn and beautiful place for a ceremony. All in the same area just walking distance. Great people to work with very flexible with what your thinking. Your close to silver lake sand dunes and you can take some awesome pictures as well as around the barn too. We had 230 people and we all where comfortable upstairs.
