The wedding of our dreams thanks to the amazing owners and staff!
The beauty this venue has was enough to convince us to hold our wedding there, but then meeting the staff and experiencing firsthand how amazing and helpful they are really sweetens the deal! We are forever grateful.The beauty this venue has was enough to convince us to hold our wedding there, but then meeting the staff and experiencing firsthand how amazing and helpful they are really sweetens the deal!

Our Dream Wedding Come True
I can't say enough great things about Southern Exposure, owners Ken & Jennifer Hendrickson, and wedding coordinator Dakota Whitlock. We were able to enjoy our wedding without worrying about anything. Planning a wedding takes a lot of time, effort, and coordination, and the team at Southern Exposure made it happen. Both owners Ken and Jennifer are truly wonderful people, who work hard to make everything happen. Dakota is a brilliant and personable wedding planner who who took our ideas and made them a reality, even down to the smallest details. We are more than happy with Southern Exposure, and would recommend them every time to any persons wondering where they should get married.I can't say enough great things about Southern Exposure, owners Ken & Jennifer Hendrickson, and wedding coordinator Dakota Whitlock.

Amazing venue with excellent wedding planner
This is the perfect fairy tale wedding venue. The ceremony garden is the perfect backdrop for a beautiful wedding. The venue also includes additional services that made it a no-brainer choice for us, including set up and clean up, as well as decor and use of the grounds for the whole day. The wedding planner/coordinator, Dakota, was extremely helpful both leading up to and on the day of our wedding and was always timely in her response to email and text. She was friendly and willing to work with us to try to make any special requests happen. Day-of coordination was instrumental in keeping our day organized and running smoothly.
If you go with this venue, they require that you go with their catering services, but I assure you won't be disappointed. The food is excellent and definitely one of the highlights of the reception.This is the perfect fairy tale wedding venue. The ceremony garden is the perfect backdrop for a beautiful wedding.

Working with Southern Exposure is a dream!
Due to COVID restrictions, we had to move venue locations 30 days before our planned wedding day. Lucky for us, Southern Exposure had our date open. The whole experience with them was an absolute dream and if I could give them 10 stars I would. The grounds look like they are out of a fairytale. The entire venue has so much charm! Dakota was super responsive/helpful at all times and Jennifer will forever be our fairy godmother. Whenever we needed anything at all our fairy godmother was there to provide it for us. Our guests were always taken care of and left happy. We cannot thank Southern Exposure enough for the most perfect weekend!Due to COVID restrictions, we had to move venue locations 30 days before our planned wedding day.

Best wedding I could have asked for!
I had my wedding at Southern Exposure last weekend and it was amazing! The coordinator, Mi Suk, was on top of everything and I didn’t have to stress about anything all day! The decorations were absolutely stunning - all done by the venue. The coordinator, DJ, food, and bar service were all a part of the venue package. We didn’t have to worry about packing anything up at the end of the night because the coordinator took care of it! The servers were very professional and friendly, and treated me and my husband like royalty. It truly was the best wedding I could have asked for and this venue is the reason it was as amazing as it was! Not to mention it is also absolutely gorgeous, and so well-kept! Not only are the gardens gorgeous, but there are interesting decorations everywhere!

The Perfect Venue for Your Special Day!
We cannot express how perfect this venue is! The owners, Ken and Jennifer and the wedding coordinator, Mi Suk went above and beyond to make our wedding day beautiful and stress free. We didn't have to worry about anything! On our wedding day, all we had to was show up and Mi Suk took care of everything else. We were able to enjoy every moment of the day. The planning process was a breeze because the venue has an on site chef, DJ, officiant, florist, and liquor license. The DJ and officiant are included in the wedding package. It was so nice because, we didn't have to stress about hiring and coordinating different vendors and services for the day. We didn't even have to set up or clean up. At the end of the evening, the staff literally loads up your car so you can go from your last dance directly to your car. The venue is beautiful, so you don't have to spend extra money on decorations or fluff. You don't even need to buy or make signs for your ceremony or reception area. A group of staff is onsite the day of to direct and help guests. We cannot say enough positive things about Southern Exposure, the owners, wedding coordinator, and staff! Thank you Southern Exposure for making our wedding day a perfectly unforgettable day!We cannot express how perfect this venue is!

Unforgettable
My wife and I got married at Southern Exposure in early summer 2019. The setting was unforgettable. The flowers were in full bloom, the grounds were manicured to perfection, and the staff was attentive to our every need. There was not a single detail unaccounted for.
The ceremony took place outside under overcast skies. The thought of rain on our wedding day began creeping in, but to our pleasure the rain held off. Our wedding coordinator, Misuk, was on top of the preparations. She was extremely helpful ensuring everyone in our wedding party knew when to walk up to the alter and exactly where to stand. The ceremony went off without a hitch.
The rain crept in shortly after the reception began; however, the dance floor and all the tables had plenty of cover. The food was delicious, and this was confirmed by all of the empty plates left behind. Misuk and the rest of the staff did a great job keeping the reception on schedule.
We had countless guests tell us that it was the best wedding that they had ever been to. My wife and I may be a little biased (or very biased) but we could not agree more. We recommend Southern Exposure to anyone looking for wedding in the greater Michigan area.My wife and I got married at Southern Exposure in early summer 2019. The setting was unforgettable.

Beautiful Site and Excellent Service
If you’re looking for a wedding venue that takes care of everything for you, look no further. Mi Suk made things so easy for us, guiding us all along the way through the planning process. Taking care of the setup and clean up was crucial for us, so we didn’t have to lift a finger the day of our wedding. We received lots of compliments on the food and, of course, the grounds are beautiful. The night of our wedding, a huge storm swept through in the middle of our reception. The staff literally held the tent during gale force winds, while getting completely soaked. The power was knocked out and the generator went down. The whole crew worked incredibly hard to keep our party going and our guests happy. They even served drinks by candlelight. Everyone was so committed to making our day amazing and it was just that!

I LOVED having my wedding at Southern Exposure. It is an amazingly beautiful venue. The whole day and evening was just like something out of a dream. Everyone there was really nice to work with- the wedding coordinator, & both the owners just went out of their way to be helpful and friendly. The venue provides a lot of the wedding services there- food, set up & clean up, bar service, music, decorations, etc you just show up with your dress, cake, bouquets, & photographer. They also had good recommendations for the services they didn't provide. They worked with me on the food choices- figuring out how to provide a pad thai vegetarian option that wasn't usually on their menu. There were a few small kinks the day of- the tags didn't get put on some table gifts, it took a really log time from when the salad was served until the main course was served- but that worked out because it gave us time to go around to all the tables and say hello. The only real problem I had was with the DJ- I gave him a very detailed list of the music we would like, and had a long talk about how my husband can't stand any hiphop, yet he started playing some hiphop on the third song in which caused me to have to tell him to stop, and then he tried a backstreet boys song even though I had not recommenced ANY 90's and had said we really like 80's. And he still played almost NO songs off the list I gave. Everyone still danced the night away and had a great time because they just started requesting songs, but that did stress me out for a bit. Overall though everything was amazing- the rooms to get ready in are gorgeous and spacious, the ceremony garden area is beautiful, and it went quite smoothly, the food was great, it was all so much fun! Overall I was really just overwhelmed by how it was all even more amazing than I had anticipated. And I would strongly recommend them for any event.I LOVED having my wedding at Southern Exposure.

First, the venue is absolutely gorgeous and pictures don’t show you all of its beauty. Everyone commented on how nice and beautiful it was.
It’s beautiful. It’s affordable. They make planning easy with a list of nearby professionals...Photographers DJ bakeries (we used continental pastries (4 layer cake with 2 fillings soooo good!), and florists.
Also you can save because they have table arrangements so you can save on those costs. Some of my friends want to revisit already and they live more than an hour away.
Mi Suk works very hard and does an excellent job!
We did a COVID wedding and had relatives on zoom. You will likely need someone to help set it up and assure there’s a connection at the reception we set up a camera but we needed to move the camera a bit more and explain things to participants. I recommend the video given some issues we had. But that was something we experimented with and it will improve as more people try it.
The cost below doesn’t include the final bar tab, photographer, bakery, or DJ. But we had several appetizers. Chef Elsie is amazing!!! Her meals are delicious and all the plates looked empty so everyone gobbled up what she made. She made special meals for the vegans/vegetarians in our groupIt’s beautiful. It’s affordable.

Southern Exposure is a beautiful place to have an outdoor wedding. Mi Suk and the rest of the staff was very helpful with all the planning and helped us find a great photographer at the last minute. The only complaint i have is with the DJ. We took the time to make a detailed list of songs to be played at our wedding and he didn't play half of the songs we asked for. He ended up playing whatever songs he felt like and when my mother asked him why he wasn't playing our songs he got snotty with her and said he was getting to it. After he was told to play some songs he played maybe two on our list and then more of whatever he wanted. Half of our songs were not even played that night including some that were our favorites. There is a reason that people make song lists for their wedding... because they have meaning to them and they want to hear them, i was really disappointed that we didn't get to hear the music we chose on one of the most important days of our lives . I recommend having your wedding and reception at southern exposure but pay the extra money and bring your own D.J. if you want it done right.Southern Exposure is a beautiful place to have an outdoor wedding.

Absolutely Beautiful
The experience of Southern Exposure, in surrounding visual beauty, is best described as a secret fairy garden, with farmhouse chic decor adorning every inch of the facilities. It sounds over the top, but it’s true! I fell in love with this venue upon our first visit, and didn’t make any additional meetings at other venues - nothing that I’ve seen at any wedding or event compares.
The food was excellent, people danced all night and raved about SE. The places I was unable to give full 5/5 rating is due to the process of planning and misunderstandings which happened the night of the wedding. I believe their planning process could be better organized, however their wedding coordinator is pleasant to work with. The new owners seem very eager to keep their customers happy and I hope they continue to wow their guests with this amazing place.The experience of Southern Exposure, in surrounding visual beauty, is best described as a secret fairy garden, with farmhouse chic decor adorning every inch of the facilities.
