The Harris Building

Willowbrook Mill
The next locale on our list of fall wedding venues is located on the northwestern coast of Michigan. Willowbrook Mill sits in a charming village at the top of the Leelanau Peninsula.

Sundance Studios
Owned by a husband and wife team, Sundance Studios started as an abandoned bank and blacksmith shop before transitioning into the beautiful venue it is today. Reservations are available on Fridays through Sundays during the months of May through October for a beautiful fall wedding right before the winter months. The studio in our list of fall wedding venues has a designated ceremony site in their ‘secret garden’ courtyard influenced by old European gardens.
