From sprawling views of Lake Michigan to more intimate barn settings, it’s no surprise that West Michigan has some of the most beautiful wedding locations. With seating up to 250 guests, you’re sure to find the venue perfect for your big day.

The Blue Dress Barn

First opened to the public in 2003, The Blue Dress Barn has now become a leader in the wedding industry. The barn venue was created by real-life couple Amelia and Kirby Briske who hoped to redefine barn weddings. The Blue Dress Barn lies just inland from the western coast, along Highway 94. While the venue is only open seasonally from May through October, it is known as the largest wedding barn in Michigan. You’ll also have your choice from two ceremony locations, including a more traditional site and a prairie-style site. The Blue Dress Barn has also been featured on popular sites such as The Knot, Style Me Pretty and Brides.com.

Apple Blossom Chapel & Gardens is the perfect location for a small gathering of your closest family and friends, located along the coast near the small town of Fennville. After eleven years in the wedding industry, Apple Blossom Chapel is an expert at perfecting your dream venue. Some of the landscape features include a patio area, gazebo, small white chapel and gardens with the freshest flowers. Their chapel can hold up to 32 guests or as little as two depending on your ceremony size. Apple Blossom Chapel has even won awards from popular sites such as The Knot and Wedding Wire.

The Veranda also includes a hosted bar service, catering and rentals such as tables, chairs and cleanup. Their goal is to “give every couple a wildly-successful sendoff” and one past couple even describes the venue saying “I wouldn’t have wanted to have my wedding anywhere else! I was treated wonderfully and made to feel extremely special.”
