Absolutely amazing!!!
We booked Rush Lake in the winter time after seeing the inside of the barn and fell in love with the venue. When we went back in the spring with no snow on the ground, we were even more impressed with the landscape and the beauty of the whole place. When it came time for our big day, it was like a fairytale! The venue was blooming with beautiful flowers and the grounds were just immaculate! We did not have to decorate much because the space is already beautiful by itself and we just added our own touches. It turned out being the most amazing venue I think we could have even booked for our wedding. Michael, the owner, was so nice and accommodating and was there the whole night to ensure everything continued to run smooth. There is nothing I could say that needs to be improved apon. We loved having our reception at Rush Lake Memories and highly highly recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful indoor/outdoor space to have a wedding or reception!

We had our wedding at Rush lake August 6, 2022 and we were beyond satisfied with how everything turned out. Mike (owner) was extremely helpful/responsive throughout the entire process! From the landscape and scenery to every last small detail, this place exceeded ALL of our expectations! Such a beautiful venue and we are forever grateful to have chosen Rush Lake to look back on. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a rustic yet modern feel of beautiful Michigan!

Bride and Groom
Everything was perfect! Just had our wedding there on 9/11 and the owners were accommodating and on site for anything that we needed. Everything was landscape beautifully lots of areas for wedding pictures on site. A separate area for the wedding party to get ready in.
