  Such a Gorgeous Place to Get Married!

  We got married in early October 2021 and had found the Michigan Wildlife Conservancy for our venue about a year before. Reasons that we booked it: #1: It is an absolutely gorgeous venue! There was little need for decoration because the venue really spoke volumes on it’s own. There are 3 different locations for the ceremony and so many beautiful places for photos. #2: Overall it was pretty handicap accessible (which is difficult to find in outdoor venues.) #3: It was able to be converted indoors in the event that it rained (which it did) but everything was still beautiful. #4: The price was right and you could accommodate a rather large wedding there. Our wedding was only 80 people, but had so much room to roam around, dance and enjoy. Brittany was great to work with overall. The bartender that worked our wedding was nice, understanding, and even remembered people’s drinks when they went back up for another round. My only complaint is you are charged extra for not using their vendors (Big ones like DJ, Cater, Photographer) and had to use their Bar set up and Bartenders. For us personally this was not a big deal, but may be for some. The extra charge for non preferred vendors was very not large. Was such a beautiful venue and I would pick it over and over again for our wedding if I had to!

  September Wedding

  I don’t even know where to start when it comes to this AMAZING place. The views, the cleanliness, the service, everything was top notch. Planning a wedding during a pandemic was a little difficult but Brittany was wonderful with all my questions and was so helpful before, during and after the wedding! Her assistant Alex went above and beyond with helping us the day of the wedding. I will recommend the Michigan Wildlife Conservancy over and over and one of the best parts is that we get to return to the wildlife pub and hang out where we got married!

  So very Impressed

  Christine was the most amazing person to work with out of all of my vendors! She put my mind at ease and answered all of my questions. The venue itself is SO BEAUTIFUL. Indoor/Outdoor, with amazing views. It was close to home and hotels and all amenities, but with views that seemed like we were in the middle of nowhere. Christine set up all of our tables and chairs for our ceremony and reception. All we had to do was put up our decorations. It was magical!

  Fabulous reception

  We had to change plans last minute to have an outdoor reception and the tram at MWC was fantastic. Worked with us on our budget and helped us have an amazing reception!

  Cost and “great” service

  They charge you for every little thing and I mean EVERY LITTLE thing. Different chairs for the ceremony and reception, can’t use one for both. They try and charge 15% or higher if you don’t use one of there “preferred” vendors (but no way of someone becoming one). The views and the reception area is beautiful, but the cost and the way the place is ran by Brittany makes it so not worth it.
