  • Starts at $15,000

The house, known today as Reid Hall, was completed in 1908 and the family moved in on May 5, led by J. Ogden Armour, until approximately September of 1927. Many of the house’s mantle pieces, there are 15, and the paneling of the library reading room (or former living room), were imported from Paris, Vienna and London, including the marble dining room while the main walls are of Italian marble, the central panels of each wall have been painted over the plaster to simulate actual marble. It is also reputed that the marble staircase was built with the primary purpose in mind that their daughter, Lolita Ogden Armour, would descend the curving stairway on her wedding day, which she did in 1921, to John J. Mitchell, Jr. Eventually the property was sold to Lake Forest Academy where classes began in 1948. Today, Academy grounds total approximately 170 acres.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had an amazing time having our wedding at The Gardens this past weekend!! We got a last minute spot when another couple was no longer able to have their wedding here and I wouldn’t have wanted to have our wedding anywhere else! Johan and Amanda were such a pleasure to work with: kindly responding to our many questions and requests, and creating the most beautiful backdrop for our special day! We LOVED the food - our guests said it was the best wedding food they’d ever had!! - and it was all at a reasonable price.

MillCreek Wilde sits deep in the countryside of Southwest Michigan just 1.5 hours from Chicago and 2 hours from Detroit. It's a perfect central location for your out of town guests.

In fact, Millcreek Wilde is noted for offering one of the most private and secluded wedding day experiences.

Amelia and her team were wonderful to work with! Their space was clean, staff was amazingly friendly and helpful, and of course the venue itself was absolutely stunning to host our wedding day on 8/19/23! We are charmed by the beautiful and thoughtful touches they add to their space to make the day feel so personal, and each one of our guests commented that they'd never seen a venue so magical - down to the last detail! Thank you for making our wedding reception so very unforgettable and special!

Stonegate Manor

5.0

Benton Harbor, MI
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Limited services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,050

Get married under a Cathederal of Trees in our Fairy Garden or Classic Pergola. Stonegate Manor is a quiet, elegant, garden estate located between St. Joseph's beach community and Benton Harbor's art district. Lake Michigan is 7 minutes across the street! The moment you enter through the stone gates you will see all the natural beauty and the lovingly restored Victorian Manor House built in 1847. Start your day as early as 8am in the charming carriage house. You have the luxury of two reception spaces; the outdoor Estate Tent and indoor (air conditioned) Riverside Room. End your wedding dancing under a spectacular glow of hundreds of string lights! For more inspiration and a complete list of amenities visit our website, stonegate manor events.

We are so glad that we discovered Stonegate Manor for our small family ceremony! To start, it is so close to Lake Michigan. We were able to get a photo op at the beach in our casual clothes before the ceremony. Then when we arrived at Stonegate, there was plenty of space in the beautiful manor house for us to change into our ceremony outfits. And speaking of photo ops, the grounds are beautiful and have tons of options for beautiful backdrops. We chose the Fairy Garden as our location, and since we were planning our wedding on a very short timeline, we didn’t have any extra decorations. We didn’t need them! It was the perfect secluded spot for us to say our vows with our family members, both human and canine (did we mention Stonegate is dog friendly?!). As I mentioned, we were planning our wedding with only about a month’s notice, and at first we thought that we’d just go to the courthouse. We can’t say how glad we are that we chose Stonegate instead. While we wanted the day to be a casual, stress free event, we also wanted it to be special and memorable. Having an elopement package that includes flowers, cake and other extras eliminated planning stress and decision fatigue, and Prudy is so easy to work with and was able to accommodate the requests we did have to make the day uniquely ours. If you are planning on having your wedding at Stonegate Manor, expect personalized customer service, consistent communication, and a warm welcome when you arrive for your big day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our daughter was married August 19,2023 and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the venue and its staff. We rented the estate for the weekend which we highly recommend to anyone hosting a wedding. Having the extra day really helped to allay anxieties and get the wedding party familiar with the grounds. From the waterside vows, to the veranda cocktails, to the beautiful landscaping and access to the mansion, it was so much more than we hoped for. We’ve continually heard from our friends and family how much they enjoyed the wedding. We seriously wouldn’t have changed a single thing.

After touring probably 10 wedding venues, it was easy for us to pick Arrowhead Golf Club for our wedding day. They are truly all-inclusive and are accommodating to any budget. They offer various meal packages and you can pick and choose almost anything you want so you get the exact ceremony and reception you want! One of the biggest selling points for us was getting to work with Lauren, a member of the Events staff at Arrowhead. She responded quickly to every single email we ever sent her throughout our year of planning. She helped make our wedding day flow so smoothly from beginning to end. We also wound up booking our rehearsal dinner at Arrowhead. Every member of our event staff was nice and great! All of our guests thought the space was beautiful and could only say good things about Arrowhead. I'm so happy we chose Arrowhead for our big day and it will always hold a special place in our hearts!

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I got married at the Barn at Trinity Peak (9/25/22) and it truly was the best day of our lives!!! I cannot begin to express how AMAZING our wedding experience was. The property this venue is on is just stunning. One of my favorite parts about the barn are the original silo bathrooms. From start to finish Carolyn the proprietor was fantastic to work with. She went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding day was perfect and that all the details were taken care of. Her staff was so helpful every step of the way. It actually ended up raining that day, so we had to get married inside the barn. The whole time since we booked, I wanted an outdoor ceremony, but I am so happy we got married inside the barn. It was so beautiful and magical. It totally exceeded my expectations!!! It even meant a lot to my husband and his family because this was their family’s dairy farm back from 1918. It was definitely a special moment getting married in a place with so much family history. I wouldn’t change a thing about that day because due to the rain, we ended up getting the most magical sunset!!! I feel beyond blessed that we were able to get married at the Barn at Trinity Peak. The whole day was just magical, and I didn’t want it to end. I felt like I was in a hallmark movie. Carolyn, I cannot begin to express the gratitude and love I have for this venue. Thank you, for helping make our wedding dreams come true!!!
