    September Wedding 2024

    I had my wedding at Black River Barn this past September and we couldn't be happier on our venue choice! My husband and I came across BRB on Google, and immediately booked a tour. From the moment we pulled into the lot, we instantly knew that this was our dream venue. The staff was the incredible. They helped us execute our entire vision without any hiccups. In fact, it was supposed to rain during our ceremony time, and they told me they would rearrange the chairs so they were under the roof instead of in the grass just hours before! Talk about service! Overall, BRB is in the most beautiful area with so much for your guests to do. I would recommend this venue to everyone!

    The absolute best in Southwest Michigan

    We have nothing but positive things to say about Black River Barn. The venue is beautiful and the management/staff were extremely organized, friendly, and professional. If you're getting married in Southwest Michigan, you will not find a better spot. We looked around everywhere for comparison and it was not even close.

    04/27/24 Best Day EVER!

    We got married on April 27th of 2024 at Black River Barn in South Haven, MI and let me tell you, it was a DREAM! Between all the questions we had and any and all concerns, Tina was always available to answer those questions and address any concerns. She also made sure I was able to view the venue when ever I needed to nail down a vision I had. They really helped ease my mind about the biggest day of our lives. They helped make this day go so smoothly and they were so professional. My guests raved about how beautiful the venue was. If we had to redo our wedding, we would 100% select BRB again, hands down! Thank you guys for being apart of our special day!

    August 2023 Wedding Review

    We have zero regrets about having our wedding at BRB, it was everything and more! From booking, to planning/communication, to rehearsal and the big day; everything was perfect and the staff was extremely friendly and professional. We've received so many compliments about wedding such as, "I want to go back to that venue", "that venue was incredible", "this was the best wedding I've been to in awhile", etc. As a bride, I specifically loved the getting ready suite and mix of indoor/outdoor during the reception. Love BRB so much!

    a dream!!!

    If you are wanting to have the wedding of your dreams I would highly recommend Black River Barn. The first time we toured this venue I could just picture every detail about how our day would be. The venue alone is absolutely beautiful, then you add your own personal touch and its truly a dream come true. The planning process was made entirely easy from the start with the staff they have. Communication was impressive with quick responses. They have thought of every detail a bride would want for her big day!

    If you are looking for a venue that has a huge "wow" factor, BRB is definitely the perfect choice!

    This is an amazing venue! From the initial tour of the facility all the way through the planning process, Nicole and the team members were a pleasure to work with. They truly want your experience to be one that you will love and they pay attention to detail so the event runs smoothly.

    Perfect Venue

    Absolutely perfect venue. I cannot adequately describe the peacefulness I felt on my wedding day arriving at BRB at 9am and not leaving until the reception ended. The getting ready rooms are perfect for the soon-to-be newlyweds, with beautiful lighting, high end sound system, and designated bathrooms. The decor is tasteful and elegant with lots of natural lighting from the east--just lovely for getting ready photos. The staff are fantastic to work with. Nicole, Taylor and team are incredibly organized and somehow managed to be there and make sure everything was perfect but I barely saw them once. The space is gorgeous, indoors and out. The only potential downside is having to use their preferred caterers, but honestly I felt like it helped narrow an incredibly broad field. Would 100% recommend this location.

    Fantastic Space & Service

    Book it! We choose this venue for the South Haven location, and we were blown away by the service and the amenities. The BRB team was so patient and detail-oriented throughout our planning and our October 2022 wedding day. Our guest loved the venue and setting – from the bridal suites to the gorgeous outdoor space, including the fire pits. This venue made our wedding feel truly special.

    Extraordinary

    My husband and I had the pleasure of sharing our wedding day with Black River Barn. This venue was absolutely outstanding from the moment we booked with them a year and a half before our wedding day. The professionalism this team embodied helped make our special day absolutely perfect. They were easy to work with and even helped accommodate our wedding time line. This beautiful venue will forever hold a special place in our hearts as we started our forever there.

    Beyond our Dreams!

    The Black River Barn was beyond our dreams! My husband and I knew instantly when walking in for our tour, that we would do anything to get married here! The BRB has the most kind and inviting staff. Nicole and her team makes you feel as part of the family and really cares about making your day as perfect as it can be. The venue is elegant, classy, timeless, with a simple touch of rustic. It is a barn that will carry beyond the fade and is uniquely its own. The suites to get ready in were dreamy! The bar is breathtakingly beautiful! The long isle was dramatic and left everyone speechless. Not to mention the fairytale chandeliers on the side. The venue thought of everything from TVs to display engagement pictures, a projector to play a slideshow, DJ music by bluetooth in the bathrooms, locked bridal suites, mini bar outside, etc. I could go on for days! I 10/10 would recommend this venue to everyone!

    A dream come true

    This venue was a literal dream!!! It is just a beauty. We picked it for a million reasons but some important ones were that it has so many seating options for both inside and outdoor. This allowed for a smooth transition inside after attempting an outdoor ceremony until it down poured once I made it to the alter. This storm came out of NOWHERE. None the less we moved to the balcony inside and I have the most dreamy photos. The sound system is top tier and allowed everyone to party and dance regardless of being inside or outside. 20/10 recommend!!!!

    Unparalleled Service

    The Black River Barn team went above and beyond to make this wedding an event like none other! Their attention to detail, professionalism, and customer service was over the top. I have been a wedding planner for 22+ years and have never had an event go this smoothly! I would recommend my closest friends and family to use them in a heartbeat. 12 out of 10 stars!

    Long distance experience was wonderful

    Every aspect we experienced was as portrayed to us and the venue itself was just as beautiful if not more so than the pictures we saw on FB and Instagram. Working with Nicole was also a pleasure-she was kind and accommodating.
    We did have 2 singers and we found the sound a bit echoey. Also the speaker sounded slightly distorted due to echoing.
    All in all it was a happy experience and I would be delighted to use their venue again.

    A dream wedding venue

    Black River Barn is hands down the most elite wedding venue in Western Michigan (maybe even the entire state in my opinion). Over the two years of planning our wedding there, we experienced nothing but seamless organization and a magical experience from start to finish. Their owners and staff are some of the kindest people we've had the pleasure of working with. I cannot recommend this wedding venue enough.
