The planning was never stressful for our elopement at Cornman Farms, and everything that we needed for our 12 guest wedding was either included or coordinated for us; the prices were outstanding, and that’s saying something for a wedding. The team at Cornman broke up all of the important decisions over time, and they just understood my vision from the beginning. It was the most relaxed and comfortable wedding, and I never felt an ounce of stress. The food was incredible, and the team worked with me to craft a perfect menu even though we had tons of food restrictions in the family. The cake was fabulous. The team effortlessly floated throughout the night so that everything we needed could be managed, but it never felt like the staff was there at all. From the start, the clear communication was the key to our beautiful day. The staff is kind, helpful, and they hyped me up all night which gave me a huge smile. They coordinated the guests for each stage of the wedding, made sure I always knew where to be, and then took a step back and the end of the night and let us just enjoy the stunning grounds together. If I could come up with better words, I would, but they fail me today. My wedding was the best day of my life, and I truly believe that in any other hands, it wouldn’t have been the same. -

Phenomenal.
We had an amazing wedding at the farm! We started planning this wedding from across the country before moving to the area. Everyone at the farm is a master of their craft. We were so taken care of.
They had the fireplaces going (helpful for a mid January wedding), we had the most amazing flowers created by the florist and our photographers (provided through our package) were AMAZING. Check our Adore Wedding Photography (Loren & Mary Beth are a dream team). The best part- the food. We had the meal explained to our guests and it was so special to know the apples were from trees on the property, the kale was from their last batch of the season etc. 10/10 recommend getting married here!
Also- They use a portal to communicate, make payments and plan the wedding. I never waited more than a few hours for a response. This truly was a one stop shop for me with wedding planning- everything/everyone I wanted to be there to help plan the day were specially picked by their team with no lack of detail or intentionality sacrificed.
This was a dream. Easiest and most beautiful day. The planning process was easy/fun and had almost no stress surrounding the day. If you’re on the fence, don’t doubt a second longer. This is the place for you. -

How do I even begin to describe the amazing experience that we had hosting an intimate wedding with Cornman? The property is beyond picturesque and the facilities are top notch, but that's pretty obvious through all of the photos. For us, what took the cake was the entire Cornman team. What a group of absolute pros. From inquiry to booking to planning and execution, the team completely exceeded our expectations at every juncture. We booked our day sight unseen, as we planned at short notice due to family member health. We also live across the country from the venue. One might assume that the time crunch would make planning stressful, but with the Cornman team, it was anything but. I genuinely looked forward to our email exchanges, and the team on site coordinated everything on our behalf from afar. On the day of, we felt so taken care of and are now looking back on a day of our dreams, which included the meal of our dreams! The Zingerman's brand is famous for its cuisine and if you're a foodie, this is a dream location to host a wedding! -

Hosting our wedding at Zingerman's Cornman Farms was every bit as picture perfect as we imagined. We fell in love with how beautiful this venue was and they definitely delievered! The staff was wonderful and we had the most perfect wedding day.
Leading up to our event, we navigated a postponed pandemic wedding with the help of the Cornman staff. They were always quick to respond to our questions, and quick to provide support as we navigated the uncertainties of the pandemic. -

They Made This Day Perfect!
As someone who wasn't much into the whole wedding planning thing, Zingerman's was the perfect choice as they did practically everything for me. We selected their elopement wedding package and included 20 guests. It was absolutely the best choice we could have made. We had five hours on the property and it was the perfect amount of time. Additionally, because the wedding was so small I felt like I had time to breathe, talk with everyone and enjoy the wonderful food they had prepared for us!
Tabitha was absolutely fantastic in making sure that we moved along and everything happened according to plan and the vendors they picked out were phenomenal. They kept an open line of communication throughout the entire planning phase and were always accommodating. The day turned out perfect and I think that this venue, their staff, and the vendors they chose had a huge part in that.
Thank you so much for making this day so magical!

Cornman farms is stunning, which is what made me initially fall in love with it! I could not have picked a better venue to work with during Covid! They were so responsive and helpful! They took care of a lot of the details and did a beautiful job! -

Kirsten, Olivia, Rachel, Tabitha and the whole Cornman team made our wedding hands down the most magical day of our lives, and this was a Covid wedding, so you know I mean business when I say that.
Leading up to the wedding they handled the upheavals of Covid with so much grace, support and flexibility during an incredibly tumultuous time. When it came to the actual wedding day, which was supposed to be outside, it rained, snowed, hailed, and we had ridiculously cold winds. There was no way we could still hold the reception outdoors. They managed to arrange our 30 guests safely inside, spread throughout the various buildings on the grounds. They took those changes and made it seem effortless so I was able to enjoy the experience of my wedding knowing that they were taking care of everything, and that my guests and the staff would be safe. I can not stress how much I appreciate the whole team for making our day as magical as possible.
We originally chose Cornman not just for the food and the STUNNING location, but also because they make the process so easy with their incredible in-house vendors. The flowers were perfect, the photographer was amazing and captured our wedding beautifully, the food was beyond delicious, and they connected us with a fantastic videographer so we could stream our wedding to our loved ones.
You get to enjoy everything when you have your wedding at Zingerman's Cornman Farms; magic, ease, beauty, joy, AND safety. -

I'm finding it hard to summarize my experience with Zingerman's Cornman Farms into a simple, short review because of the amount of work and tireless effort that was put into my experience here. Tabitha, Kieron, Olivia, Kirsten, Rachel, and the rest of the team at Cornman Farms put absolutely everything they could into helping me plan my July 31, 2020 wedding on the farm. For the past 10 months, I have been working closely with the staff here to execute our outdoor, 85 person wedding and it has been nothing short of one of the best experiences I have ever been a part of. Zingerman's Cornman Farms is the most charming and beautiful property with so much to offer couples who choose to get married at the venue. From the beginning, our expectations were met with top-notch customer service and all-inclusive experience. I wanted to book this venue for my wedding since I came across it on a google search, but after seeing the property, the 1800s farmhouse, barn, lush fields and gardens, we were absolutely sure we weren't going to explore any other options. In the middle of our wedding planning, we were thrown a global pandemic which posed a huge problem for gathering. Tabitha and the Cornman Farms team were so gracious and prompt in replying to emails, messages, zoom calls, etc. during the entire shut down and included such an empathetic, supportive tone. We knew from the beginning of the shutdown that we were going to get married on our wedding day no matter the circumstances, but we were a million times thankful that Cornman Farms chose to stick with us and do everything in their power to host our event on their property with accommodations and safety measures in place. On the actual day of our wedding, we were greeted by several people to help, including a concierge, and farm production and execution staff. Each moment of our day was orchestrated perfectly and it is because of all the work the Cornman Farms staff does (especially behind the scenes). Our wedding looked a bit different than a traditional wedding because of the circumstances, but Cornman Farms put every effort into making it perfect that we wouldn't have changed a thing even if we could have. Our day was a beautiful, sunny, 80 degrees and ended with the most picturesque watercolor sunset. We still can't believe everything happened, and that it was real. Our guests raved about every detail and we think about our wedding every single day. Zingerman's will always have our business, we will always be thankful to Cornman Farms and the people there, and we cannot wait to come back to the property for events and anniversaries in the future. Thank you Cornman Farms for playing such a huge role in our love story! -

I'd like to weigh in as the mother of the bride. There is no better place to have your wedding! None.
Our daughter's wedding at Zingerman's Cornman Farm was a bit over two weeks ago. When we decided (last November) to have the wedding there, we had no idea what was to come.
As Covid appeared and its impact increased, we realized Emma's wedding would be nothing like what we imagined, all the while being unable to imagine how it would all come together. We originally chose Cornman because of the beauty of the setting, the faith we had in the professionalism of the staff, and our confidence that the meals would be amazing. All of this was borne out. What took the experience from superlative to stratospheric was the challenge of Covid and how every person on the team made Emma's wedding day extraordinary.
From 90 people to 30 to 26. From a simple meal to an expanded one since there would be no dancing or other elements that make up a wedding celebration. The location of the ceremony needed to be changed the morning of the wedding so that the bridal couple and the officiants could be inside while the guests remained outside and safely spaced. The wind blew in the sides of the tent where we had planned to have the cocktail hour, speeches and first dances. (Dinner had already been shifted to inside.) Then, the moment before we were to walk Emma down the path to her beloved, it began to snow. Sideways.
I realized there was no way we could have our guests in the tent, even for the cocktail hour, speeches and first dances. As the music began, the staff turned on a dime to set everything up inside and we walked our daughter through the winds, the snow and bluster in utter joy and totally in the moment. I knew Kirsten and her team would take care of the rest.
Because of Cornman's unique set up, we could seat our guests safely inside -- the barn, the bar area, the farmhouse dining room and two other spaces. Each small grouping of guests felt that they were seated in a gorgeous private dining room. The food was OUTRAGEOUS! Kieron had worked with us to create a menu that delighted the vegans and everyone else.
We had the toasts, dances and speeches in the Barn upstairs, inviting everyone who felt comfortable joining us (about 20 in a space for 80-90.) The others began enjoying their appetizers. Also incredible. The evening was ad hoc, a bit crazy; we made it up as we went along and it was beyond our wildest imaginings terrific.
It was intimate; everyone had a chance to talk and visit; the play list Emma and Scott created was great and added atmosphere in every corner of the rooms used. When we realized our guest count would drop, Cornman engaged a videographer who livestreamed the ceremony to our guests. She created fantastic videos for us -- a two-minute montage and separate videos of the speeches and the ceremony.
Another huge benefit of going with Cornman Farms -- the ancillary vendors they work with: florist, musicians/DJ's (even though we couldn't use them in the end), the make-up people.
They were ALL superb. I have never felt or looked prettier. The flowers were gorgeous. Also unheard of, Cornman gave us until August 1, with the wedding two months away, to decide what we wanted to do and without losing our deposit. Who does that? No one else. I heard nightmare stories from my friends about wrangling with the venues they had chosen and having to deal with multiple vendors. Cornman's code of business is honorable.
It was also important to us to support our Michigan businesses. We were committed to Cornman because we wanted them, and their vendors, to make it through this time and come out on the other side thriving and strong. It was important to us to proceed as planned and not take our business from them.
I can't tell you what a soft spot I have in my heart for Tabitha and everyone who made Emma and Scott's wedding as outrageously memorable and wonderful as it was. Kieron packed us up with the leftovers so I didn't have to cook for a bit. I learned that they have a monthly contest of coming up with ideas for the dough from one of the appetizers. I shared my idea with Tabitha and she asked for my recipe. This is what makes Cornman Farms special. You are welcomed as, and become part of, the Cornman family.
And I haven't even mentioned the comfortable beautiful upstairs of the farmhouse where brides dress and get all made up! It's relaxing, spacious and outfitted with everything one might need and more.
Emma called last night and we spent nearly three hours reliving the wedding and the entire experience. I wish we could do it all over again. (Almost!) Above all, this has taught me a huge lesson in trusting -- trusting the professionals you engage and trusting in the bigger Power to make your day what it was meant to be all along.
In whatever way you can -- large or intimate or something in between -- celebrate your wedding at Zingerman's Cornman Farms. You'll be over the moon glad you did
