Ready to do it again!

Sam and Maggie were wonderful to work with, and the venue set up, decorations, and flowers were exactly what we had envisioned. Because it was raining we moved the ceremony under the reception tent, and took many of our photos in the greenhouse. Our guests commented on how beautiful the setting was, and that it was the perfect place for an outdoor wedding. I'm ready to do it all over again!

Sept 20th Wedding

Working with Nagelkirk was a fantastic experience. The pricing was great for what we wanted and communication with the venue and event planners was swift and easy. Mailee was phenomenal to work with and she helped us through many questions we had. People that came continually told us how beautiful the venue was, and we agree it was a beautiful place. They helped make our wedding day incredible and would highly recommend the beautiful venue!

12/10 Experience! Nagelkirk Crushed It!

We were worried about having a venue with an indoor / outdoor option for weather - it's Michigan, you never know what weather will be like come wedding day.
I was referred to Nagelkirk by another bride and when I reached out they were so speedy to respond and connect with me about rates, details, etc.
Our biggest requirement was having our dogs in the ceremony and the Nagelkirk team was all for it! We do have professionally trained dogs so they did allow us to have them off leash to practice during the rehearsal and on wedding day to come down the aisle and visit with guests since all of our guests are big dog people.

Although Nagelkirk backs up to a highway, you never even notice it. I was worried about the car noise and at no point did anyone even notice there were cars behind the building. They also have the pretty wood chairs vs. the white folding so that was a big plus for us.

The whole time we were at Nagelkirk their team was awesome. If the guys had things in their pockets before walking down the team just took all of it and placed to the side to pickup later. They did their homework from our questionnaire and already knew us by time we arrived and gave our pups extra love. They even let us put our mountain bikes at aisle entrance (bikes were part of our big day)

Please tour NG. It's beautiful, great picture locations and backdrops, the cutest home store and greenhouse if you do a spring or early summer wedding for some indoor photos. We did Sept so the greenhouse didn't have too many flowers but we did a few just to try.

Book them. I promise you won't be let down.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
