About

Res-Les Farms is a third generation family owned farm that has evolved many times over the years, originating as a full fledged farm operation to the beautiful ornamental grass farm that decorates the landscape today. We offer over two acres of space for your exclusive use to accommodate any wedding needs, including a private drive and off-road parking. The Grain Barn is a unique metal barn equipped with bulb lighting throughout and a chandelier for an elegant appeal. Step outside into the Corn Crib, a rustic wooden pavilion structure and dance, dine and mingle under this space decorated with draped bulb lighting and chiffon curtains. This is beautiful at dusk and throughout the evening and the perfect spot for cocktail hour or a semi-covered reception. There is also plenty of space in the outdoor garden area adjacent to the barn for an outdoor ceremony. Walk through a rustic wooden door entrance into an open space surrounded by 50-year-old pine trees and 12-foot ornamental grasses July through October, up to a country arch under which to say your "I-do's." Res-Les Farms only schedules one wedding per weekend, a unique offering that provides ample opportunity to decorate in advance or host the rehearsal the evening before the wedding. In addition, this allows you full access to the venue the entire day of your wedding to prepare for your big day in our bridal suite and separate grooms area and take advantage of the picturesque setting with rustic charm for your wedding photography.

hands down the best ❤️

Res-Les Farms is hands down the best wedding venue in southwest Michigan. I toured it with my spouse and we both absolutely LOVED this location. Jon, the owner, is hands down the best as well. He was super helpful, very laid back, and made sure we had everything we needed all the way up to the wedding and throughout our special day. There is a suite for both the bride and bridesmaids to get ready, as well as a suite for the groom and groomsmen to get ready! The ceremony spot is very beautiful and the reception barn is phenomenal!! If you’re looking for a barn setting, look no further, this is your place!!

Slows Bar BQ Grand Rapids
435 Ionia Ave SW, Grand Rapids, MI 49503
I was super surprised our wedding venue in Leroy MI hadn't heard of Slows haha, the bbq is famous here at the Detroit location. We had them cater to our big day at ResLes Farms wedding venue and as expected, it was a HIT. No food went to waste! They arrived on time and set up without a hitch. Perfect for a buffet style dinner.

I don't know how this venue could possibly have anything other 5 stars. If anyone had a problem I can guarantee it was their own fault or mother nature. The space is perfect in every way. I looked an many many venues and not only was this a better space, but it is BY FAR a better deal. You get wide open spaces to roam, a large open space for the ceremony, a fantastic space for the dinner, a fantastic space for cocktail hours and general mingling between the dinner space/dance floor and bar.. then there is another large space for yard games and a bonfire. Seating everywhere, everything is mostly pre decorated, there is a nice bridal suite and groom room as well as a kitchen two fridges and two chest freezers.. a giant barn full of decorations you can freely use.. like.. I could go on and on.. the venue is beautiful and everyone LOVED it. Our vendors were DJ L Sharp, Slows BBQ for catering, photographer Dawn from Ann Arbor, and of course the amazing ladies who bartend for Resles. John was super easy to deal with. We've repeatedly been told it was the nest wedding ever haha. So I can highly, highly recommend this venue, it's a lot of bang for the buck.. And also highly recommend our vendors because everyone loved them!

Gorgeous Place!!!

Me and my husband used Res-Les Farm for our wedding venue in September of 2018. Before choose Res-Les we looked at probably over 30 different venues online. Res-Les was by far the one that stood out the most to us during our research. Once we visited and Jon gave us a tour of the area, we instantly knew that was the place we wanted to have our wedding. Firstly, every aspect of the area is absolutely gorgeous. Between when we signed our contract with Res-Les and when we actually had our wedding Jon had made various updates that just made it even better. Jon is super easy to work with and will do his best to answer any questions you have and do everything in his ability to make your day perfect. On our wedding day, we had a downpour about an hour before our outdoor ceremony was planned. After the rain passed, Jon was right there to help us get the guests seats toweled off before any of our guests arrived. The price can’t be beat when you factor in the fact that you have it from Friday to Sunday, you don’t have to even leave the venue for photos because there are numerous gorgeous places right on site to take all your pictures, and that you get to use the tables, chairs, fire pit, and TV for no additional fees. There is also a huge collection of décor items that he lets you use. My husband loved the Groom’s Room space they were able to use to get ready in and it was no nice to have the Ladies Room connected right to the women’s restroom. The only downfall is that the road leading back to the private parking lot goes directly behind the area that the ceremonies take place. IF all your guests arrive on time, this is not a problem, but we had a few stragglers which made it slightly distracting as we were attempting to say our vows and had a couple cars drive behind us. YOU AND ALL OF YOUR GUESTS WILL ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE! It’s been over a year now and when we see our guests they constantly bring up what a cool place it was and how much fun they had! We also loved the fact that they offer their Brides and Grooms a chance to come back in the future to take photos for anniversary’s, family photos, ect. This place goes the extra mile to ensure you are 100% happy! Go take a tour and you’ll fall in love like we did! ♡ The Weber’s

Still getting compliments

Our wedding was 8/31/19 and we are STILL getting raving comments about our venue. Our guests loved the variety of things to do (during cocktail hour and during reception if not a dancer), and place to sit and be at on our big day. The compliments on just the sheer beauty of this venue is incredible. John was so receptive the almost full year we worked with him, whether it was scheduling a time to come out and see the venue, come out and look through the decor barn, or just answer any questions we or my mom had. I would get married here for a second time if I could, do not miss out on this ABSOLUTELY breathtaking venue with an amazing owner who truly cares.

Beautiful venue

Went to a wedding this past weekend. My fiancé and I had been wanting to tour but decided we would wait until our friends wedding. It was beautiful, I love all the decor and the property is beautiful. Unfortunately it is a bit small for what we are looking for.
