Eileen C. Sent on 04/28/2023Absolute Perfection!
My husband and I got married at Black Star in October 2022, we opted to rent the whole inn for the weekend and held our rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception on the grounds. If we had to do it all over again we would choose Black Star every single time! We could never give enough praise to the staff, everyone from the event coordinator (shout out Dustin!), the inn keepers, and the servers during all the events were amazing and beyond helpful. Having our wedding weekend at BSF made the planning process and whole weekend seem seamless to us, and we know that only happened because the staff was hard at work behind the scenes! And of course, the location is absolutely stunning (the wine is great too :) ) , it really helped make the whole event memorable and wonderful in every way!

Beautiful venue and caring staff
Black Star Farms is a beautiful place to get married! Dorothy was very responsive during the planning process. Despite all the craziness the pandemic brought: having to move our wedding date, move everything outdoors to a tent and almost having a disaster of a day for weather, Dorothy and Dustin did everything in their power to make our day beautiful and unforgettable and it absolutely was. Dustin worked with us the most on the day of and did a phenomenal job jumping right in and moving everything along and being professional. You cant beat the views, drinks, and food here. All of our guests had an amazing time. Definitely recommend BSF for your big day and also recommend choosing to stay at the Inn for your wedding weekend -

Kristen Sent on 09/23/2020Exceptional!
I would recommend Black Star Farms for any event! We had our wedding there in July 2020 and we were so happy with everything. We had a lot of external stress planning a wedding from downstate during Covid; but Dorothy and her team were exceptional. Our small wedding went beautifully - all our guests were blown away with how beautiful and nice it was. All our emails were responded to in a timely fashion and all of our endless questions were handled. Also the chef went above and beyond to create a meal for me with my specific dietary restrictions (low FODMAP diet- it's quite limiting) so that I could enjoy the wedding. I cannot say enough good things about them - everyone should get married here! : -

An elopement paradise
During 2020 I’ve accepted having a big wedding would not be in our cards. This venue provided the perfect package for an elopement. We chose the ‘hill top’ location for the ceremony, it was so private and picturesque! The estate was huge and very clean, I had a great experience while there! The staff helping also even ran and got us a bottle of wine for our wine box ceremony ( we were all rushing and we completely forgot to almost grab it.) he was a live savor!!! He was very knowledgeable of the wines and the cheeses on the platter. Even the email experience was amazing, great communication and fast responses! -

A Stress-free Bride
I'm so thankful we went with Black Star Farms for our wedding venue -- I was actually a stress-free bride on my wedding day. Everything was taken care of and I knew we were in good hands with the team there -- not to mention the most beautiful venue. Thanks Black Star Farms!! -

Nicole Z. Sent on 10/19/2019Beautiful location, with plenty of options
Our wedding at Black Star Farms was perfect! Our original events manager changed jobs and we transitioned to Dorothy and she picked everything up without missing a beat. We had a great time at our menu tasting and were happy to learn the chef grows a lot of the produce on site. We felt cared for through the whole planning process, with Dorothy answering every email I sent (even when they each contained 20+ questions). We planned for our ceremony to be in the vineyard, but the day of was cold and rainy so we had to move the ceremony to the Aquarius room. Dorothy delivered the news in a light-hearted manner and told me everything would be taken care of. She was right! Despite the change in location the setting was beautiful and made for an easy transition to the Pegasus barn for our guests. We've received so many compliments on the venue and our pictures on location turned out beautifully. In fact, this really is the perfect venue because we took pictures at multiple spots on location and they all give different moods and evoke different feelings. I'd highly recommend doing your first look photos between the vines in the vineyard! -

Can I go back?
I had my wedding at Black Star Farms on June 1, 2019 and it really was the best ever! A vineyard wedding was something I'd always longed for but being from the Metro Detroit area was nervous about planning from a 4-hour distance. Dorothy at Black Star Farms made it a breeze! She truly is phenomenal at her job; from the first moment we met her at the site tour to our actual wedding day Dorothy was responsive to my many emails and questions, communicative with the vendors, and really took care of every little detail to perfection. We held our ceremony up in the breathtaking vineyard and our reception in the Pegasus Barn covered in twinkle lights and chandeliers. I would definitely recommend renting a room at the Inn for the weekend; it was such a great location for getting ready in the morning and later ending the night. Ah, and the FOOD! Absolutely delicious farm-to-table menu created by the most talented chef. To this day my guests and myself continue to rave about the venue, the food, the staff, and the overall experience at Black Star Farms. I would definitely recommend this location to any bride! Thank you Black Star Farms, Dorothy, and all the wonderful staff who helped me create these memories I'll hold on to forever. -

Mindy Sent on 09/01/2018Our wedding at Black Star Farms could not have been better. The facility is amazing, and was the perfect place for our guests from out of state that had never seen the beauty of Northern Michigan. More than anything though, the staff was incredible and helped make our wedding the best day of our lives. Dorothy and Jackie could not have been better. They were flexible, responsive and fun to work with. They made what could have been a stressful process so much easier than we expected, and because of them we were able to enjoy every second of our special day. The food and beverage team was amazing too, and our food couldn’t have been more delicious. Every single item they made was incredible, and Black Star Farms wine was great too! An amazing place to get married, we would recommend it to absolutely anyone and everyone. Thanks again for everything Black Star Farms!

Courtney Sent on 11/12/2017Where do start? Blackstar Farms was a beautiful setting for our wedding but we must say, from start to finish, Dorothy DeBlasio, went above and beyond for us ensuring every detail of our wedding was perfectly accommodated. From our tasting event pre-wedding, to ensuring that our toddler flower girls walked down the aisle, she didn’t skip a beat. She was kind, supportive, organized and a pleasure to deal with every step of the way. If we could give her more than 5 stars we would! The food was amazing, the venue was beautifully set up and we honestly can’t say enough - get married here and you’ll be as over the moon as we are!

Marianne Sent on 11/11/2017Working with Dorothy was such a pleasure. She made us feel special and as though we were her only client, even though she is a very busy lady. Her kindness, and genuine hospitality helped me feel at ease throughout the process. She was on point throughout the planning, rehearsal, wedding day, and day after. I cannot thank her enough for helping make our day perfect. The service and food at BSF is impeccable. Our guests are still talking about what an amazing dinner we had. The wine was top notch and the venue is beautiful. The best part about BSF though is the team of people who will care for you as family and ensure your dream wedding comes true!
