About

On WeddingWire since 2023

Make Your Special Day a Getaway.

Stillwater Stables is a 60-acre horse farm and wedding venue that's nestled in an old-growth forest on a private lake in northern Oakland County, in Ortonville, Michigan. Newly constructed in 2022, we offer an indoor event space above the horse stables, plus an array of options for tented ceremonies and receptions outdoors, plus overnight accommodations for your wedding party and guests.

For Parties 50 and Less: The Pony Up Loft & Lounge

The Pony Up is our indoor event space, which is located above the horse stables. The space is cozy with cathedral ceilings and can be configured for a variety of activities: bridal lounge, after-party, brunch, reception, or rehearsal dinner. Capacity: 50 people.

  • WIFI
  • Full bathroom​
  • Wood burning fireplace
  • Wet bar and serving station ​
  • Barware, glasses, silverware
  • Heating and air conditioning
  • Onsite, experienced management
  • Vintage China place settings and serving dishes
  • Bluetooth sound system with microphone
  • Soft seating or banquet seating
  • Dishwasher, ice maker, wine cooler, beverage cooler
  • ​Tables and chairs for a variety of room configurations: lounge, rectangle, rounds, cocktail​

For parties of up to 75 guests: The Clover Lawn

For barrier-free celebrations and parties larger than 50 people, your reception will take place in a tent on The Clover Lawn. The Cover Lawn is right next to the stables and out in front of our Cabin 4. With this configuration, guests use the Pony Up as an additional lounge, or as a staging area for the bridal party. Meanwhile, Cabin 4 works as a place for bar and catering set-ups and it also has a generous dressing area. Plus it's also an actual guest cabin for after the dust settles (it sleeps 4 and has a private hot tub)!

Overnight Accommodations

Recently featured on HGTV's "Tiny Homes" series, our four upcycled shipping containers have been converted into modern and luxurious guest cabins. Each with a queen bed and a sleeper sofa, these fully equipped, high-tech "tiny homes" sleep four people each and have spa-like amenities, such as hotel sheets and robes, heated towel bars, fast WiFi, and private hot tubs. Also included is our restored, vintage "Scamp" camper for a darling additional bedroom and kitchenette or a unique place for photos or staging cocktails.

The Land

This woodsy piece of land was settled over 175 years ago, and your dedicated hosts live on-site, in the original log cabin. The property is conveniently located off 1-75 but it will feel like you're in the middle of nowhere. Premium space for ceremonies and party tents are offered throughout the property. Guests love the unexpected encounters with the horses and other wildlife.

Perfect Intimate Wedding Venue

The staff and owners at Stillwater Stables and Stays are organized, helpful, and so accommodating to their guests! The venue is gorgeous and perfect for an intimate wedding ceremony and reception space. The ceremony space is magical, surrounded by huge trees, horses on site, and even a dock by the lake to enjoy! There are also places to stay on site which makes the venue that much more amazing! We had a wonderful experience working with this venue and would highly recommend!

Beautiful vackdrop

I am local to the area & when we decided to have my daughter's wedding at our house, Stillwater became our get ready space! We had the rehearsal dinner at the Pony up. The wedding party from out of town had fabulous cabins to stay in and the groomsmen had the space to get ready for the wedding with a very relaxed & calming vibe. The photographer loved all the areas & background to take beautiful photos capturing both the people & essence of this beautiful space. Rachel was absolutely the best host. She was there when we needed her but never intrusive to the occasion. I highly recommend Stillwater for any intimate occasion or even just a relaxing weekend away from the hustle of weekday life.
