The rental fee will include access to the property/grounds beginning at 10 am and ending at 11 pm. Reception tables and chairs, ceremony seating, and more included. Scroll down to see other amenities that are included in every package. 

We do not have overnight accommodations on site. However, we are located 15 minutes away from multiple hotels. 

Capacity inside the event barn is 100. This is not due to the size of area, but because of no current fire suppression system in place. Capacity can be raised if outdoor 20x20 tent is added to supplement.

At the time of booking, we require a 1/3 deposit. Second payment of 1/3 due five months before event, final payment of 1/3 due one month before event.

We firmly believe that since it is YOUR big day, you should be able to have the vendors that you want! As long as your vendors are licensed/ insured, we are happy to have them at the farm. Ask us for some recommendations should you need any guidance! We are happy to help.

Per Michigan law, the client obtains all alcohol they wish to be served and a hired insured and TIPS certified bartender will serve. We love The Rustic Tap & Kristina's Catering bartending services.

Yes! If you're having an event at the farm, it will be the only one during your rental. 

We have plenty of parking space to accommodate all of your guests. It is included with property rental. Parking attendants direct traffic for 1.5 hours (usually 1 hour prior and 30 minutes after ceremony time).

We do not allow any fire/ / candles/ sparklers inside of the barn. We highly recommend the use of battery operated candles inside the barn! 

We have 15 six foot round and 18 eight foot rectangular tables. For chairs, there are white resin folding ceremony chairs and gold chiavari reception chairs with ivory cushions. 

We have various options for ceremonies at the farm. For a covered option, the corn crib fits 96 chairs. There are also areas between barns and in open fields with beautiful scenery where ceremonies are held. If you see a spot you love during a tour, we can make it happen if accessible. 

Please visit the "Decor" tab on our website for more information. Most of our decor is complementary, however we do have paid rental items. All free decor will be selected in advance and left on bar in barn for client set up.

Because it is a historic 1800's barn, there is no running water therefore no permanent bathrooms. There will be a luxury bathroom trailer with flushable toilets and all of the amenities you'd find in any regular restroom just outside of the event barn. Number of stalls depends on guest count. 

We have space for caterers to prep and work out of in an  unseen area in the back of the barn in our breezeway. There is a separate door with easy accessibility for catering drop offs and set ups. Caterers must prepare food offsite, provide staff to bus all food from tables, and put all food garbage in dumpster.

There is a 12 foot permanent bar in the event barn that is equipped with a full fridge and 10 foot bar back table. Insured and tips certified bartenders must be hired as TFE does not have bartenders on staff. Look at our preferred vendors tab for our recommendations. The Rustic Tap is our favorite!

There will always be staff members on site while there is an event. They are there to answer questions/ assist and ensure a clean and safe environment. A manager will always be on site and readily available throughout the event.
