    Stunning venue and amazing staff!!!

    We got married on October 21, 2022 in the Raisin River Room and I can't RAVE enough how they gave us the wedding of our dreams! Wendy, Andrea, and the entire staff were professional and very attentive to every detail. Every single guest told us the food was the best they've ever had at a wedding! Wendy really knows what she is doing and provides you with many timelines and planning tools months before the big day. Obviously last minute changes happen and Wendy was more than accommodating. I can't say enough how amazing and beautiful our wedding was thanks to Wendy and the entire staff! The grounds are beautiful and has so many options for photos, the room was very comfortable and not too crowded for our 100 guests. We loved telling our guests about the Weller’s History and how it used to be owned by Henry Ford. The location was super easy to find for guests and even months later our guests are still talking about beautiful our wedding was. They also have a “Hospitality House” 1/2 mile from the venue for the bridal party to get ready in, it also has a yard that is gorgeous for pictures. I took my “first look” photos with my dad there. I absolutely recommend Weller's!

    Wellers Raisin River Room was beautiful! It was everything we could ever imagine when it came down to choosing it upon viewing/booking to the actual wedding day. For what you get at wellers and the cost, it really is a great value! Everyone said it was beautiful and the food was awesome! My only complaints were their Hospitality house had a bunch of wasps on the porch so you couldn’t use that area for pictures before the ceremony and I’m glad noone was allergic to them or that could have been disastrous. Other than that the experience was great!

    Wellers made planning and executing our out-of-town wedding a smooth experience. The venue is great - it's full of character and needs very little decoration. Katie, Andrea, and the rest of the team are a joy to work with, and the food is delicious. We highly recommend them if you're looking for a experienced team and a venue with great atmosphere.

    Wellers is beautiful. We got married on the East Ceremony Grounds and used the Raisin River Room. Seriously the people here are so kind and it is legitimately magical. We did our meetings with Katie who is fantastic, knowledgeable, and fun. She let us know ahead of time she would be at a wedding herself the night of our wedding and Andrea would be working with us. Andrea is also wonderful and checked on myself and my husband all night to make sure we had everything we needed. The food and fancy desserts were delicious and everyone I spoke with was so happy with the delicious food. Beyond that, I was brought to tears by how accommodating they were for a special needs family member. They made my day perfect and I am so happy with my experience with Wellers.

    I cannot express how much I loved this venue. From the very beginning, Wendy was great to work with. She met with us several times before we booked to answer all of our questions. She made us very comfortable about choosing this venue for our big day. This venue is stunning. We had out ceremony on site outside and I could not have imagined anything so beautiful. We had out reception in the Carriage House and it is a gorgeous building. On the day of, Andrea was wonderful. Anything I or any vendor needed she was on it. Our wedding day went so smoothly it was surreal. We were severed appetizers first from the wait staff and had a plate of them waiting for us when we sat down. After speeches, Andrea came up, congratulated us and stated “we would like to serve you your first meal as a married couple"! Let me say the food is AMAZING! Everyone is still talking about how wonderful dinner was. The bartenders were great and one even found me on the dance floor to give me a drink. I was blown away by the service of everyone. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking to a stunning venue with great service and amazing food! Truly an amazing gem!

    There are not enough words to explain how much I loved Weller's for our wedding. We had booked our reception in the Carriage House and every part of our space was absolutely gorgeous. My guests were constantly telling me how beautiful the venue was. It has such a unique look and the landscaping was great, you really do not need to worry about spending too much on added decor. Plus, the space makes for fantastic wedding photos! Although some of the rentals can really add up in price, after seeing everything together it was worth every penny. The food was amazing as well (especially the prime rib and mashed potatoes), I wish I had time to eat more of it! I really want to thank Wendy and Andrea as well as all of the waitstaff (Feng, Monica, and Robert) and bartenders (Johnny and Kelie) for taking care of everything and relieving any stress we may have had, you all were great! Everything went perfect in my eyes.

    Honestly PERFECT! Our wedding at Wellers was beyond amazing. Andrea and Wendy were wonderful from start to finish. Yes, they have some firm processes, but they are experienced and they have the guidelines in place to ensure your day goes off without a hitch. We loved every second of our ceremony and reception. Guest could not stop raving about the venue. It is so unique and everything is so naturally beautiful!

    Our guests couldn't stop raving about Wellers, saying the site was beautiful and had lots of character(guests loved the antiques and stone and brick throughout the rooms). We got ready at the hospitality house, had our ceremony in the gardens and the reception in the Raisin River room. We made several changes 2 weeks before the wedding and Wendy was amazing. She was responsive and always nice when dealing with my panicked emails or calls. The food couldn't have been better, we chose the prime rib and Michigan cherry chicken. The prime rib was tender and both dishes were full of flavor. My husband and I appreciated that the staff saved a plate of the appetizers for us once we returned from pictures. We had children in attendance who wouldn't eat the amazing food, so pizza was ordered and the staff brought it out on plates for them once it was delivered, I wouldn't have changed a thing and highly recommend Wellers to anyone looking for a venue.

    If your looking for a perfect place that has an amazing outdoor ceremony as well as indoor outdoor option for the reception, Wellers is for you. Such a beautiful place, I received so many comments on how wonderful the venue was and how the staff really were attentive to the needs of the guests as well as the bride and groom. This place is a gem hidden among many different venues in the Ann Arbor area. Nicole and Andreea were excellent and helpful, they were wonderful to work with!!!

    I've worked with a wedding videographer and dj for over 3 years, and at a print shop doing wedding related printing and engraving for 7 years. If you want to hear "this is the most beautiful wedding I've ever been to" from 75% of your guests, book this place! I was married at Weller's Carriage House in mid-September of 2011. We used the stunning outdoor grounds for the ceremony, dined on one of the best meals I've ever tasted in the carriage house, and danced the night away under the gazebo. Weller's had 3 weddings booked that evening. If they hadn't told me in advance, I wouldn't have known. Even at their maximum capacity, Weller's handled everything flawlessly.

    Weller's staff was wonderfully efficient, polite and respectful of the fact that this is the most important day of your life (to date), and they are dedicated to making it the best experience it can possibly be. They handled every hiccup (including a medical emergency) seamlessly and with care. They are wedding professionals, and they are exceptional at what they do. Whatever location you choose, it is a shell--you fill it with your personal touches, your beautiful family, and your joy. You couldn't start with a better location than Weller's. The food was exquisite and there was plenty of it; everyone ate their fill.

    Weller's gave me the freedom to have a personalized DIY wedding and the result looked like a million bucks. Unbelievable photos. Happy guests. Cost-wise, it's more than renting your local lodge banquet room. But don't underestimate the value of the gardens and the banquet facilities: additional outdoor ceremony decorations, excluding bridal party flowers, but including ceremony flowers and vase--$65; my family and I designed our own reception table decorations for under $500 for 25+ tables. Knowing that the food and ambiance would be phenomenal (and they were!), I could limit the costs of the other big ticket items--alcohol, dress, flowers, photography, dj, etc.--without feeling like I was compromising my guests' experience of the event.

    Thank you Andrea, Nicole and all of the other dedicated Weller's staff and contracted crew for the best day of our lives!

    We were not in the carriage house, but we were in the raisin river room. My husband had remembered Wellers from a wedding he had gone to a long time ago. When we were having difficulty finding a place within our budget that was not a big banquet hall we discovered Wellers. They provide outdoor ceremony grounds but are very flexible about moving it indoors if the weather doesn't cooperate. The grounds are exquisite and are kept up well. The raisin river room is like going back in time. It has a wonderful historic feel to it. We had many compliments from friends and family how beautiful it was. They cater their own food which was amazing! We also got many compliments on the food. It's all buffett and there is no food tasting before. You do have to purchase your own bar service but you save a lot of money as you only get what you really need. Plus if there is any leftovers you're stocked. We loved the extra touch of the servers taking me and my husband through the buffett line first, they even plated our meal so that we didn't have to, such an unexpected wonderful touch of service.

    Weller\'s Carriage House was the venue for my October 10, 2010 wedding and reception. The staff was knowledgable and friendly before, during, and after the wedding. Every aspect ran smoothly and having a venue that provided the space (which was gorgeous and required only centerpieces to complete the existing decorations) and the food made for a much more relaxed day. I highly recommend Weller\'s to any couple looking to have their wedding/reception in Michigan!

    I've lived in southeastern Michigan nearly all my life and had never heard of Wellers until three years ago when my cousin had his reception there. Initially my husband and I debated having our wedding outside at my parents' house since we really wanted to be outdoors, but we decided to go check out Wellers with my family. We all fell in love and decided it was the perfect place to have our ceremony and reception. The grounds are beautiful and the reception rooms are elegant and charming without being too "stuffy" which perfectly suited our style.

    We planned to have our reception in the Raisin Rivier Room, but after our RSVPs were coming in higher than expected, we moved it to the Carriage House. Wellers was very flexible and accommodating about this change. On the day of the event, our pictures after the ceremony were done quicker than expected, and Wellers was able to move up our time line so that our guests weren't sitting around waiting for dinner for 35 minutes.

    The food was great. I almost wish they still had a restaurant here because we would certainly go back for more! Guests raved about the food for weeks after the wedding when we spoke to them. The food here is really the best in the area I have had at a reception venue.

    The only "complaint" we had was that on the day of our wedding, it was 85 degrees, and the cement benches on the West Grounds were very hot from the sun beaming on them all day. Everyone survived, but guests did joke their butts were burned from the benches!

    Some things to note about this venue: you have to purchase the alcohol and liquor - this was very easy, we called their alcohol vendor and did everything over the phone about five days before the wedding. The savings is significant compared to what other venues charge you per guest for an open bar; another point is Wellers only offers buffet for dinner. Ideally I would like family style but the tables are small and probably can't accommodate all the different dishes for food.

    Wellers is definitely a hidden gem in the area and provides a refreshing alternative to places like St. Johns. If you want the ability for your guests go be able to go outside, this is the place to be!

    I loved the setting of Wellers. We had a Full Moon Wedding in the West Grounds, our reception was in the Carriage House, and dancing in the Pavillion. The grounds and buildings are very unique and a beautiful place to get married! Many of our guests said it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to. Several guest were even overheard saying that when they get married, that they are getting married at Weller's, or that they should have gotten married at Weller's. The food was unbelieveable, and the wait staff we very professional. If you're looking for a unique, romantic place to get married and/or have your reception, Wellers is a great choice.

    I have been married over two years now and I still reel at how wonderful my wedding was. The ceremony site was breathtaking, and there is no place quite like it. There is nothing bad to say about Wellers, it was wonderful.

    My husband and I got married on the East Ceremony grounds and had our reception in the Raisin River room. We wanted to get married at a venue that was rustic/romantic/vintage and Wellers met all those requirements and much more - the place is truly beautiful. The Raisin River room is awesome; very little decorating was needed which was nice. We received so many compliments on how unique and cool the room and the grounds were. I overhead several of our guests comment on how they have never been to a wedding as beautiful as ours. We ended up having 95 guests attend our wedding and I was nervous we were going to be packed like sardines in the room -- this thankfully was not the case; we all fit well in the room and everyone was comfortable & there was plenty of space for everything and everyone. The room itself has a lot of history (e.g. the old time clock for one) and guests loved these touches. As for the waitstaff and bartenders I cannot say enough. These people truly were amazing and made our wedding day that much more special. I liked that they called my husband and myself by our names (and actually remembered our names) and how courteous they were to ourselves and guests. They really treated us well. My mom and I met with Andreea to go over our wedding worksheet (which is conveniently located online). She was so great to work with; Andreea is patient, kind, and honest and a great listener - everything I expected and more. Plus, she was one of our waitstaff at our reception and was so great. She was prompt to answer every question we had and I was really happy to have her as she gave us suggestions which I fully trusted because she has been doing this for a long time. Now for the food...it was DELICIOUS. Everything from the appetizers, to the dinner, and to Jet's pizza for our late night snack was awesome. Our guests loved the food and kept telling us this!!! My husband and I cleaned our plates (the chicken was my absolute favorite).

    The Food was amazing and the Rasin River Room was Beautiful. I could not imagine a better place to hold a wedding. The Staff was amazing and very attentive they had everything taken care of.

    We held my daughters wedding at Weller's Carriage House this past Aug 2015. The venue is so beautiful and we received many compliments from guests. Food was delicious. Staff very helpful, courteous and professional. Would highly recommend.

    Wendy & Andrea were great to work with, while a little particular at times and occasionally felt a little cold/harsh during the planning process they were fabulous on the day of our wedding and when communicating through email. There are a lot of "little" things that are not included in the base package price that up the cost of the venue when you get down to the nitty gritty but I would not have wanted to have my wedding anywhere else.
    Our guests RAVED about the Carriage house and the character of the venue. Being able to have dinner and the dancing in two different locations along with the extra areas around the gazebo for people to sit and relax outside of the music was wonderful. The gardens and grounds at Wellers are top notch and unbeatable around the area.
    While I worried about not getting to taste the appetizers & food that we ordered, everything was AMAZING and our friends & family could not believe that we had Prime Rib served to our guests. It was phenomenal!
