About this venue

Tandale Nature Barn is Brighton, Michigan's premier barn event venue, and is the perfect setting for a classic fairytale wedding. With 25 acres of beautiful countryside, the modern yet rustic style barn is encompassed by lush greenery, vibrant gardens, and breathtaking natural beauty. Just a short drive from downtown, lakes, and ski resorts, there is plenty to do to keep guests entertained during a weekend stay.

Facilities and Capacity

Couples can exchange vows in three different outdoor ceremony locations. There is a choice between the pond for a waterside setting, the wooden bench surrounded by enchanting forestry, or the open-air cathedral as a breathtaking and sacred backdrop. As a backup, the barn can be set up for a stunning indoor ceremony if the weather doesn't hold, perfect for a winter wonderland wedding. When it is time for the celebrations to begin, everyone can make their way to the 5,400 square foot barn, which can accommodate up to 220 guests. With soaring high ceilings, a huge arched window for natural lighting, beautiful hanging candeliers, and built-in bars, the space exudes timeless elegance. There is also a dance floor and tables for different needs, including the buffet, cake, gifts, and the important head table for couples and their wedding party. When the day is over, the newlyweds can head to the Tandale tree house located 18 feet up the towering pines for an adventurous overnight stay.

Natural, Serene, and Beautiful Event

We chose Tandale for our wedding venue for many reasons: the whole weekend rental, the treehouse stay for wedding night, the natural beauty, the accommodating staff... really couldn't think of a reason not to! From the initial walkthrough we felt we were in good hands with Austin and the rest of the Tandale staff. The barn, grounds, bridal suite, patio, treehouse - everything was strikingly gorgeous.

You have the option of three amazing outdoor sites to hold a wedding ceremony that cater to different tastes. Each one is equally beautiful. We went with the wooded site. The day came around and we ended up moving it inside due to rain. The transition was handled so beautifully by the staff, you would have thought that was the plan all along. The back wall of the barn overlooks a wooded pond area, and it felt like we were outside.

The barn is complete with everything you or your vendors may need, and very little decor was needed to make it a beautiful event. The option for a patio cocktail hour was perfect. We ended up having our rehearsal dinner on the patio the day before, which was included in our rental cost.

The bridal suite was so bright and accommodating for me and the rest of my party. One thing we would have loved was access to a bathroom from the bridal suite. This wouldn't have been as much of an issue if the ceremony was outside, but since we moved it inside, our guests had started to arrive and the only bathroom was in view of everyone. Otherwise it was absolute perfection.

The treehouse had us feeling like we were staying in a five star Airbnb. I loved the rainfall shower and the balcony was great for photos with the woods in the background.

Lastly, I have got to give props once more for the team at the venue. All the planning and coordination was a breeze communicating leading up to the big day. When we arrived, they were there when we needed them and gone when we didn't. We felt in such good hands as they always remained calm, kind, and accommodating.

We had an amazing experience having our wedding with Tandale Nature Barn, and cannot recommend it enough.

The most perfect wedding venue!!

We truly could not have chosen a more perfect wedding venue. From the moment we booked, everything was made so easy and stress-free. The venue itself is absolutely stunning and every little detail has clearly been thought through so carefully. Having access to the property all weekend was incredibly unique, convenient, and so helpful for setup, relaxing, and fully enjoying the experience with our family and friends.

Working with Austin was amazing — he was so helpful, responsive, and made the entire process seamless. One of the most special parts was staying in the treehouse the night of our wedding. Such a memorable and magical experience we will never forget.

What impressed us most was how prepared and organized the team was. It rained an hour before our ceremony, and somehow they had everything dried off, reset, and ready to go within 10 minutes of the rain stopping. Our ceremony still started right on time without a single delay.

This venue exceeded every expectation and truly helped make our wedding day absolutely perfect. We are so grateful and would recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat!

My Perfect Wedding!

I got married here and this venue is exceptional! The on-site Treehouse (honeymoon suite) was a perfect treat for our overnight stay after the event!

Attentiveness from management made everything really easy and smooth from the beginning and throughout the event. They have a golf cart to pick up guests from the parking lot that everyone appreciated.

We couldn’t be happier of how everything turned out. I completely recommend Tandale Nature Barn if you want to have the perfect experience.

Tandale Nature Barn

Austin is great to work with. The venue is included the entire weekend which is beneficial. The grounds are beautifully kept and spacious. The venue provides a golf cart and driver for valet service to the ceremony area and parking lot. What stands out from this venue is the overnight tree house suit. Truly a 10/10 experience!

We had the wedding of our dreams here!

Austin who runs Tandale was amazing! he checked up on us throughout our wedding planning process, responded fast to any question we had, and made sure everything was perfect for our day! This location of the venue was amazing because it was close to home so none of our families had to drive far. We were able to have our rehearsal dinner here and also got to sleep in the treehouse the night of us getting married! Everything about this venue is gorgeous and all of our guests raved about the place! I would recommend this place every time!!

Magical Place for your Wedding

Tandale Nature Barn is a magical place to have your ceremony and reception. It was the perfect venue for our daughters wedding! This is a dream venue and has everything in one location along with access Friday to Sunday morning. The honeymoon treehouse is 5 STAR, the bridal suite was perfect for the bridal party to get ready. And the barn was stunning all lit up with the lights and soaring ceiling, and the massive windows overlooking the pond made the perfect backdrop for the head table. We are still receiving compliments on what a beautiful venue Tandale was. We had our rehearsal dinner onsite Friday with a food truck utilizing the outdoor patio and also had our cocktail hour on Saturday on the patio. You have 3 options for your outdoor ceremony, near a pond with fountain, in the woods with more rustic feel or a church feel with white arches. The grounds have beautiful landscape views with many spots for photo opportunities. Austin, the owner, was very helpful and responsive to make our wedding weekend the best. He also has recommendations for all your different vendor needs. Can not say enough about this venue!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND - 5 STAR All the Way!

Married on 9/28/24

My wife and got married here on 9/28/2024 and I cannot recommend it enough.

We booked it two years to the day in 2022, being the 3rd venue we looked at for our day, and I was sold before I even walked through the barn doors. The landscaping is gorgeous all on its own, including the outside ceremony sites (three in total).

Austin was nothing but professional and exceptionally kind, always answering our questions and was always transparent and offered many recommendations on vendors/what we would need.

Everything was seamless the weekend of the wedding, he was always on the grounds willing to help out where he could (when I got there at 8:00 am he was leaf-blowing the patio and making sure the table amounts were correct for our seating chart, all by himself!) and his staff was incredible!

We were lucky enough to have rain on our wedding day, so 10 minutes prior to the ceremony our coordinator and Austin called it and switched our ceremony to inside the barn, but it did not matter because it was beautiful. The transition in our plan was a piece of cake, and Austin never once seem stressed or panicked, and made sure I was feeling ok with everything that was happening.

The treehouse. OMG, the treehouse! What a beautiful addition to this venue. My wife and I actually rented the space for our engagement photos and Austin was so willing to accommodate us. He even invited us back to spend the night on our one year wedding anniversary.

This venue seems as though it is a hidden gem, but it was definitely the most complimented part of our day. Pictures do not do the venue justice, it is truly breathtaking.

We loved this venue!!!

Tandale Nature Barn was the PERFECT venue for my husband and I. It is as beautiful on the outside as it was on the inside and has everything you could ever want. It rained on our wedding day and I am SO thankful we chose such a comfortable gorgeous venue because it allowed us to still have the absolute best time. The treehouse is STUNNING, the ready room was perfect for the bridal party to get ready in, and the ceremony locations were picture perfect. Austin, the onsite contact was SO helpful. He did absolutely everything in is power to make sure we had the best day of our lives. He was super responsive and great at what he does. Can not say enough about this venue!!!
