Intimate Outdoor Michigan Weddings

A beautiful outdoor setting for ceremonies up to 30 guests. 

Some of the best weddings are the small ones!

If you're looking for a natural outdoor setting without all the fuss, Owl Pines offers a peaceful spot to say your vows. We've hosted family weddings here (including my own!), and there's something special about getting married surrounded by trees instead of a ballroom. You get great photos, an intimate atmosphere, and a day that feels like yours.

what we offer

Your Dream Intimate Outdoor Event Space

  • The Venue Space

    Our property provides the setting; you bring everything else! You’ll have access to our wooded grounds for your ceremony and photos. The natural backdrop does most of the decorating for you — tall trees, dappled light, and the Michigan woodland feel at Owl Pines photograph beautifully in any season.

  • The Experience

    The space works beautifully for small guest lists and couples who want something genuine and low-key. It’s an intimate, peaceful environment designed to let nature shine.

  • What's Included?

    You’ll have exclusive access to the outdoor space, but we don’t provide event coordination, setup, or decor.

    Please note that this isn’t a full-service venue.

  • What You'll Handle

    You’ll need to take care of your own setup, officiant, seating, and any other personal touches. It’s perfect for couples who want simplicity, flexibility, or are working with a smaller budget without sacrificing beauty on their big day.
