Caberfae Peaks Reviews

The team at Caberfae Peaks is amazing and made our wedding day a dream come true! The lodge is beautiful and the outdoor ceremony and golf course were the perfect backdrop for our first look. (If you are open to it, we highly recommend this on their timeline, it was one of our favorite parts of our wedding.) The staff is very kind and helpful, it shows that everyone there takes pride in what they do making your day go as smooth as it can. They are willing and able to answer any questions and provide advice that is incredibly helpful. We did not use an additional planner and doing the wedding ourselves we were so grateful for the structure Caberfae provides. Missy not only assisted with the day of planning but was wonderful throughout the planning process and even helped run our rehearsal the day before. We were able to enjoy extra time around the fire by having our rehearsal dinner with Caberfae as well. Allie coordinated our hotel block and was always very friendly to work with. Our friends and family were impressed with the entire day commenting how nice the staff was, the food turned out amazing (including dietary restrictive plates!), and the hotel was very cozy and clean. To summarize we highly recommend Caberfae Peaks!

We got married at Caberfae Peaks on October 6th and it was such an amazing experience! Their staff was so attentive every step of the way, and their offerings were so expansive and reasonably priced. Jessica was amazing to work with, and I would recommend Caberfae Peaks to any couple looking for a beautiful and personable experience. I also would highly recommend hosting your rehearsal dinner and morning after breakfast with them as well. We got so much extra time visiting with our guests, and the amazing staff made the whole experience so easy and stress free. Thank you Caberfae staff for making our wedding weekend perfect!

Every aspect of our experience with Caberfae Peaks was outstanding. We were so pleased with the wedding planning staff, the event staff, and the lodging. We were able to choose from a variety of menu choices and desserts. Everything flowed from beginning to end!

Caberfae Peaks is the most beautiful place for a wedding my and my wife just lived it the cost was great. The place just gives you a warm feeling it's got the log cabin feel through out the hole place it's just amazing I will never ever forget the time we had. The staff was just amazing it felt like we lived there the way they treated us love you all 100percent recommend to anyone

My husband and I were married at Caberfae on 9/21/24. We had the BEST experience there. Our coordinator was Missy, but Jessica also helped out a ton. Both Missy and Jessica were such a pleasure to work with, and went above and beyond in their customer service. We felt so welcomed there.

The highlight of this venue is certainly the ability to make a weekend out of your wedding. We did a room block for the entire hotel the night of our wedding (39 rooms), and booked about 10 rooms the night before our wedding for our wedding party and rehearsal dinner guests. The pool/hot tub/fire area were kept open after our wedding reception where we had an after party. The hotel manager, Allie, was so helpful throughout the planning process and constantly kept us updated on the status of our room block. For reference, we had 139 people attend our wedding and we filled the room block no problem. So many of our guests have reached out to us since and let us know how much fun they had.

Other perks:
-The dance floor has benches built into the walls along the edges, so when guests needed a break from dancing they were still right there at the dance floor.
-There's a beautiful trail behind the hotel with a bridge- this was the perfect private little spot for our first look.
-Although you can't ride the ski lift to the top, it made for a fun opportunity for couples photos during our cocktail hour.
-They have a great "dietary plate" for vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. guests.

This venue and staff exceeded our expectations! The planning process felt like working with family! Jessica, our coordinator, was simply amazing! She works her ass off and will make sure your day/weekend is incredible! The venue is stunning and on a beautiful piece of property but the real treat is the awesome staff at Caberfae! Book the venue for the weekend! You will not regret it!

They were so amazing. I couldn’t of asked for a better venue. Everyone was so helpful and sweet. I would recommend this place to everyone. It’s sooo beautiful.

First of all, Jessica and her team were unbeatable - if I knew how on top of everything they would be I wouldn't have stressed once.

From making sure everything was set up beautifully, to directing people to where they need to be, to checking in with my wife and I before AND during the entire event to make sure we were always satisfied, they were on it.

Caberfae was already such a special place for us, and now we have all the more reason to return with smiles on our faces!

The best decision we made was having our wedding at Caberfae Peaks! Jessica and the rest of the staff were absolutely incredible and honestly made wedding planning SO stress-free. It is a gorgeous venue, the food was amazing and our guests are still complimenting on how PERFECT the day was. Jessica responded to all of my questions quickly. The onsite hotel was great for our guests and we used recommended vendors from Caberfae which made the day run that much smoother. I HIGHLY recommend Caberfae Peaks to any bride looking for a stress-free, fun, perfect day!

Missy at Caberfae coordinated our entire wedding down to the last detail. She truly cares about the success of your event. Her and her team took care of every single detail. They work seamlessly with each other. Our wedding was perfect and it was almost entirely due to Caberfae!

This venue was perfect and romantic! All the people who work there are great and very professional. They kept in contact with us and helped us organize the night. The best part was the price. We didn’t have to look for a catering. It came with it included in the guest price. They offer a lot too for up charges and have a ton of recommendations for a DJ, decorator, flowers, etc. I would highly recommend Caberfae.

Everything was absolutely perfect. Responsiveness from the wedding coordinators was always great. The venue did a great job at quickly coming up with solutions so that weddings can go on in these crazy times. Lots of compliments on the venue and food. We chose to go with their referrals for the florist and DJ and could not be happier!

My husband and I got married at Caberfae Peaks in October 2019. Jessica, our coordinator, was nothing short of amazing. We are from 2 hours away, so planning was not exactly the easiest, but Caberfae staff made it a breeze. The day of, everything went so smoothly. While we were away taking photos, the guests were taken care of and moved around. The food was the best wedding food I have ever had, and over 50 of my guests have personally made comments to me about how that was the best food they have ever had. If you are considering getting married here, do it!

My wife and I were very blessed to have had our wedding at Caberfae Peaks. The entire staff was extremely helpful and flexible to our needs. I had an incident where my chairs were not delivered by another vendor on time and the Missy Smithwick, our wedding coordinator, said to not worry. She had her team get chairs out for us right away. The venue was gorgeous. We received numerous compliments on our choice of venue. Not only that, but having the hotel right across the way from the reception made for an amazing time. I cannot recommend Caberfae enough. They really made for an amazing experience.

We had our perfect day thanks to Jessica! She helped coordinate with outside vendors and ensured everything was perfect. We cannot say enough nice things about the venue, the food and the staff.

The team at Caberfae was so great to work with! The staff were all so kind and professional. Our day came together better than I could have imagined. The only thing that I would recommend is that Caberfae get a bridal suite for the bridal party to get ready in.

Missy was a BREEZE to work with as well as the rest of the stuff! She made sure that I was comfortable and assisted with everything on the big day!

She was VERY responsive to every email or concern that I had. I really appreciated her style and grace, as a sales manager myself, I have high standards for customer service. I had my reception and ceremony in the Blackmer Lodge and it was BEAUTIFUL. If I were to do it all over again- I would have my wedding at Caberfae Peaks again and again! It's affordable, gorgeous, and has beautiful scenery for your wedding images.

She made sure that I was set before she headed out for the evening, too. The entire wait staff was professional, quick, and there to answer any questions that the guests had about the food or alcohol. You really can't beat Caberfae and you WON'T be disappointed.

We had out wedding at Caberfae this past July. We looked at lots of venues before booking Caberfae for our wedding and looking back I know we made the right choice. The venue and the food were everything we had hoped for. Missy and her team are true professionals and a joy to work with. I can't say enough good things about Caberfae.

I couldn’t recommend Caberfae more! Every email I sent (there were A LOT), I got a reply within 24 hours! Sometimes within the hour! We had a big wedding and rented out all of the hotel, and the entire staff was INCREDIBLE. Literally EVERY need we had, they jumped to accommodate! Not to mention, Caberfae was STUNNING. We’ve been married over six months and I am STILL getting comments from guests that it was the most beautiful venue they’ve seen. (And I agree!)
The food was DELICIOUS and so easy to choose! We opted for the cheesecake as well as a dessert bar, and we did buffet style for dinner. The buffet was SO FAST. Honestly. We had over 200 people and, I kid you not, everyone had their food within 20 minutes of us starting! One of my favorite things was also how affordable everything was! There were so many venue that’ll charge you just for the space and breathing their air! With Caberfae, everything is included! We didn’t have to find any outside food, and any other vendors that we needed they had EXCELLENT recommendations for! For everything that they are, they could definitely ask for more. (But hopefully they won’t!)
Go visit and fall in love with Caberfae. When we visited, we were so impressed that we booked on-site! :) And I cant say enough how happy I am that we did! Perfect, perfect, perfect!!!

My husband and I were so happy with our daughter’s wedding at Caberfae Peaks! The entire weekend certainly exceeded our expectations, from the Rehearsal Dinner to the Sunday morning brunch. We thought so, and many of our guests commented, what a great wedding weekend it was. We think the venue and incredible staff at Caberfae Peaks, certainly were a large part of the reason for this!
We didn’t realize this until the weekend began, but being able to stay on property and have the rehearsal dinner, as well as the reception on site, certainly added to the great experience. Our guests were able to mingle together before and after all of the official activities ended. The Caberfae poolside area was a perfect area to accommodate the informal activities and provided a relaxing atmosphere for this.
We can’t say enough about the food too! It was very good and also exceeded our expectations. The rehearsal dinner, the reception, the Sunday brunch all were delicious. The items that stood out were the Walleye, beef brisket, green beans and the Sunday morning waffles with the fresh fruit and variety of toppings.
Specifically, we wanted to mention some of the staff that stood out during the weekend. The night manager, Marvin, was so patient and kind to us as we enjoyed socializing in the pool area on both Friday and Saturday nights. And when the frantic bride could not locate her wedding day jewelry the night before, he kindly unlocked the reception hall and helped us locate the bag, while searching by flashlight! Also, the supervisor, Jessica, helping to clean up after the reception, was very accommodating as we were gathering our personal decorations. Then, at Sunday morning’s brunch, she was there again and was so nice and helpful as we were moving the wedding gifts out of the brunch area.
Lastly, but certainly not least, working with Missy was an absolutely wonderful experience! She was so knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire weekend. It was easy to see she enjoys her role at Caberfae Peaks, with the enthusiasm she showed for our wedding, even though she sees so many weddings there. We appreciated how much she reached out to us throughout the weekend to ensure things were going OK, or if anything was needed. She has a great attention to detail which helped make the entire event a wonderful experience for all, especially the bride and groom!

This is a perfect venue for both a wedding ceremony and reception. My wedding was held at the lodge at Caberfae Peaks on October 12th. Everything turned out perfect and very organized. Missy and her whole team did a great job tending to my needs and my guests. We even had a rehearsal dinner at Beaties Bar & Grill inside the resort the night before and the food and service was also perfect. I highly recommend Caberfae for a wedding venue. I also recommend using Melissa Walker for your flowers. She was recommended through Caberfae and I was more than happy with my bouquet and my girls bouquets as well. Ruthann Segovia was my cake lady who is also recommended by Caberfae and she took my very unique topsy turvy cake idea and made it exactly as I pictured it and it also tasted delicious! Thank you again to my wedding coordinator Missy Smithwick, Chef Curtis, Jessica Browser, and all the banquet and bartending staff that played a role in making my big day perfect.

AMAZING!!! By far exceeded my expectations! Missy was amazing help and answered every single one of my hundreds of questions. Made everything go so smoothly! It was absolutely beautiful! I have gotten so many compliments about it being the most beautiful wedding! I could not of asked for anything more!!!

Our wedding at Caberfae Peaks was magical. The venue is located in the heart of Northern Michigan surrounded by a national forest, and is truly breathtaking. My husband and I chose Caberfae because we wanted a wedding that was unique and far from the typical banquet hall experience. We wanted that northern Michigan vibe, and the lodge feel of the venue was exactly what we envisioned. Also, the fact that it's a ski and golf resort means we can return to the place where we got married, which just makes it that much more special. The staff was incredibly friendly and ensured all our guests felt well taken care of. The food was exceptional, and the overall experience made it a day we and our guests will cherish forever. Our wedding coordinator, Jessica, is an absolute rockstar, and she actually played a huge part of why we chose Caberfae for our special day. Jessica is who we met with when we came to Caberfae for the first time to tour the venue. Her warmth and kindness immediately made us feel welcomed and we just felt that instant connection that Caberfae was the right place. Leading up to the wedding, Jessica was incredibly responsive and helpful, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was on track. On the actual wedding day, Jessica was on top of everything, actually a couple steps ahead! From the rehearsal to the post-wedding cleanup and even the morning-after breakfast, Jessica was there every step of the way. She coordinated every detail perfectly, and her team worked seamlessly to create the most magical day of our lives. Throughout the entire process, neither my husband nor I ever felt overwhelmed, thanks to Jessica's expertise and guidance, she was truly there for us during it all. Her attention to detail, ensuring everything was set up beautifully, directing guests, and regularly checking in with us made us feel cared for and at ease. If you're considering getting married in a beautiful Northern Michigan venue with an amazing and super friendly staff, we wholeheartedly recommend Caberfae. Jessica and her team's dedication will ensure your wedding day is nothing short of magical, and you will be in the best hands. We are so lucky to have had her as our coordinator, and to have chosen Caberfae as our wedding venue. It was truly a dream come true, thanks to her and the entire Caberfae team.

We were married at Caberfae in June of 2022 and from the beginning we were met with honesty about the prices and received stellar communication from the wonderful staff. Especially from Jessica, our wedding coordinator. Any problems that arose were dealt with and to be honest neither my husband or I ever felt like anything was over our heads. She was there every step from rehearsal to clean up after the wedding to the next morning's breakfast. Anyone would be lucky to have her help with their wedding and for Caberfae to be their choice of venue.

Caberfae Peaks Ski Resort has always been one of our favorites for skiing/snowboarding. When we found out they hosted weddings we booked ours right away. The staff took great care of us all day and night. Not to mention leading up to the wedding day, I was able to easily contact one of Caberfae's wedding coordinators, Missy, any time I had a questions. Missy was very thorough at explaining all the details of the wedding events at Caberfae. The day of the wedding was incredibly carefree. Missy moved us right along through our evening with perfect timing, and also took care of our guests in guiding them through the night as we moved onto different stages of the evening. Again, it was just a perfect, carefree day. I will always be filled with gratitude looking back at our wedding weekend. The quality Caberfae staff, our wedding coordinator Missy, and the beautiful venue cannot be matched!
