Irish Hills Wedding Barn 

5.0

Brooklyn, MI
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $2,500

Built-in 1848, the wedding barn was originally a working farm, used as a hay and milking barn on the Briggs family 500-acre farm. Once the family moved on, however, the property slowly fell into disrepair, including the barn. Luckily, right away Joel had an amazing vision for what could be the ideal spot, he saw the potential like no other for a unique Irish Hills Wedding location and was happy to buy the property in 2017. Since then, many hours and much effort have gone into creating the perfect space for weddings. As one of Michigan’s Premier Wedding Venues, this venue is a great choice!

We had our wedding at the Irish Hills Wedding Barn and could not have been happier with the experience. From the moment we first reached out, the staff were fast, informative, and sincere in their communication - they were truly eager to help make our day special. The venue itself is amazing, with a beautiful rustic and unique barn setting that helped make our wedding day so very special. The staff were around all day, pleasant and upbeat, and went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly with no hiccups. The DJ and officiant they suggested were also incredible, and all of the vendors they recommended turned out great. We couldn't have asked for anything more, and are so grateful to the Irish Hills Wedding Barn team for helping to make our wedding day absolutely perfect.

Awarded Best of Zola
If there is any part of you questioning whether or not this venue is right for you, trust me, IT IS!!!! The staff was attentive, responsive, kind, and patient. They had no problem guiding us through every detail with genuine care and expertise. The venue itself is truly idyllic, comfortable, and breathtaking...while still being a rockin' good party. We opted for the wedding weekend package and had our ceremony in front of the mulberry tree. I had every experience I hoped for, it felt like 5 weddings in 1. They were able to make a 150 person wedding feel intimate. It was incredible. There was a POPPING dance floor, frolicking in the gardens during golden hour, and relaxing by the bonfire/ hot tub with our party after the other guests left. The atmosphere of the venue literally felt like healing happened for everyone there. It was so easy to talk to and hang out with every guest, and our friends and family felt safe. We had caterers from different businesses for both the rehearsal and the day of, and used recommended vendors from the site, all of which were stellar. Tons of hotels nearby for visiting family, a bunch of ours went to the Casino afterwards. Decide your wedding day based on this venue's availability, i'm so serious. THANK YOU OTL!!! Forever grateful.

This place was GORGEOUS! It has beautiful outdoor ceremony sites, an amazing indoor reception spot that could have easily doubled as a ceremony site in the event of bad weather, his and hers silos, bathrooms, AND you can choose your own caterer (or do it yourself). They were so wonderfully accommodating and helpful…to the point where they were weed whacking the night of the rehearsal dinner to help us prepare the photo spots we needed. It was such a joy to have our wedding here!

One day last July I saw online that The Barn had a cancellation and a wedding date in September. I reached out to inquire and Laura was SO kind, helpful and prompt with communication. We loved the venue and booked, sent out invitations and planned our wedding super quickly (after 10 years together.) Every step of the way went smoothly with planning and communication and we absolutely LOVED having our wedding there. We had room for a live band, there was plenty of parking, lots of great places for photo ops on the property, a lovely bridal room to get ready in, a silo gazebo, we could choose our own caterer, there plenty of seating (we loved the church pews and the wooden chairs,) and there were just so many other nice touches. We bought small glass jars which they filled with their honey (for a reasonable fee) and we gave our guests Honey Blossom Orchard honey as the wedding reception favor. (Btw-their honey IS absolutely delicious!) We can’t say enough good about The Barn as a wedding/reception venue and if you are looking for somewhere relaxed, rustic and beautiful to have your wedding, this is your place:)

We had the wedding day of our dreams at Stonebridge. This venue is gorgeous with many options for personalization(decoration wise) and photos. The indoor/outdoor versatility is awesome so guests don’t feel confined to one area throughout the night. The staff is amazing and always there to make sure we had everything we needed. My husband and I didn’t have to go and get ourselves drinks/snacks the entire time because we were constantly asked if we needed anything. The food is delicious! Our guests raved this was the best wedding food they’ve ever eaten. The staff is super personable and accommodating which you will realize from the very moment you step into Stonebridge for a wedding consultation. Every single aspect we discussed was orchestrated for us on our big day and MORE! I have to give a well deserved shoutout to Kim, Jeff and Hannah for playing a special part in making our wedding dreams come true. We have said multiple times since our wedding that we would not change a single thing about our amazing day and that was all thanks to the amazing people at Stonebridge. This is THE venue!! And I guarantee you will not regret your decision to have your wedding here.
