The Barn, originally built in the late 1800's and located in Northern Michigan, has been lovingly restored by the Garvey family. The barn measures 40 feet by 60 feet and can accommodate up to 150 people. Our new 36 x 40 foot cedar deck can accommodate an additional 80 people and can be tented. Of course, we have plenty of additional space for tent set up.
The pastoral setting nestled in a small valley makes this venue the perfect choice for your special occasion. The Barn's hand hewn beams tie the barn to its past while the beautiful dance floor quality flooring provides updated beauty and comfort. Your wedding will be extraordinary, unique, and unforgettable. We are located a short distance from Lake Michigan in Williamsburg.
We are 10 minutes from Traverse City and 2 miles from the site of The Great Lakes Equestrian Festival [GLEF]. If you are reading this then you should book your wedding at the Garvey Family Barn. Our reception was absolute perfection beginning to end thanks to Bob and all of our amazing vendors.

Ten years ago we had the opportunity to rescue this centennial barn and move it to our farm.
We love sharing our beautiful piece of Northern Michigan with young couples who appreciate the beautiful barn nestled as it is in a unique pastoral setting.
If the whinny of a horse or the crow of a rooster is an unwelcome distraction this is not your venue.
We limit ourselves to 12 special weddings per season.
We hope you are fortunate to book one of those dates for your special day.

We are frequently asked "So, other than the location, how is a barn wedding different from weddings at a more traditional venue?".
Unless you are working with a wedding planner the difference is three additional phone calls.
Your first call will be to select a caterer.
Unlike your experience with a traditional wedding venue, renting our barn gives you the opportunity to select from a wide variety of food providers.
As you probably know the Traverse City area is recognized as a "foodie destination".

This is a family owned venue and it shows.
After exchanging vows inside the beautiful vineyard church on Old Mission Peninsula, we joined the guests at the gorgeous Garvey Barn, where the party went late beneath the starry late summer sky.
We had an amazing evening filled with nothing but comments about how incredible your farm was.
