About

Choose EarthWell to host your 3-day non-alcoholic, outdoor eco-friendly wedding with a wellness twist. Our 40-acre facility is a rustic yet jaw-dropping glamping, DIY, unplugged retreat-style weekend wedding venue for outdoor/indoor gatherings that will create nature-connected memories of your huge life transition.

We have overnight accommodations for up to 25 people, a conference center that can host 35 people indoors during the day, and a large 30x60 event tent for 100 people for your ceremony & reception.

The land at EarthWell is a little slice of heaven featuring a diversity of ecosystems, gorgeous vistas, and miles of trails to explore. The heart of the property is a spring-fed swimming pond situated on forty acres of rolling prairie, forest and wetland, surrounded by one hundred acres of Washtenaw County Nature Preserve. Six off-grid sleeping cabins dot the landscape, all within a short walk to our Common House, featuring a large gathering space, community kitchen/dining and bathrooms/shower. Located in Southeastern Michigan, just 30 minutes west of Ann Arbor, and near the towns of Grasslake, Chelsea, and Manchester.

Please Note: we have a very limited number of wedding weekends available because of our agreement with our township (a total of 6 per year). Therefore, we only accept retreat-style Fri-Sunday (or 3 day, 2 night minimum) wedding rentals. Additional cost to extend your weekend to Thursdays afternoons or Monday mornings.

A magical weekend - deep nature connection

We loved hosting our anniversary weekend at EarthWell. The land is so magical, and the swimming pond with floaties and the dock was an unbelievable cherry on top. We loved the common house kitchen and big room for all the kids to run around in and play. (There's even a little kids book library/toy area). Such a good environment to connect to our friends and loved ones.

The most perfect setting!

I have had the great pleasure of renting the whole venue at EarthWell for a private retreat last fall (2023). It went so wonderfully, that I didn't hesitate to rent it again for fall retreat this year. Working with the staff at EW is easy. They are kind and thoughtful. The facility and the land is amazing. There is spaciousness in and outdoors allowing for connection or time to have solitary moments. The cabins are stellar and the common house is a perfect spot to come together in ceremony and ritual and food and merriment. I would highly recommend EarthWell for a wedding. As an officiant of many weddings over the years, I would love to officiate a wedding here. It would be the most perfect setting! I hope you chose EW as your venue!!
