artistreEscapes Island Garden Venue Overview

One of Michigan’s most beautiful outdoor wedding garden venues, artistreEscapes Island Garden Venue is a truly unforgettable setting for your big day. This private one acre Island features spacious grounds and well-maintained gardens combine to create a beautiful backdrop for one of the most important days of your life. Imagine crossing over one of the two rustic bridges as you make your way onto the Island. There are several choices where you may meet your groom: beneath the naturally calming, massive boulder Waterfall, in front of romantic small wooden Cedar Gazebo chapel with the lake as a quiet backdrop, nestled inside an opening to the large Flowering Gazebo draped in sumptuous fabric framing a canopy of flourishing green vines and surrounded by continuously blooming flowers or on the cool shaded woodland-filled Front Yard. Share your first kiss as spouses surrounded by the many beautiful perennial flowerbeds, mature trees with the wide expanse of the surrounding lake unfolding around you. All this beauty creates an enchanting setting which continues on to your reception afterwards, with your guests relaxing in one of our many escape areas to linger and catch up on conversation with long-lost friendships, celebrating your new union throughout the evening next to the lake, around the Tiki Hut, next to the Waterfall or inside the Reception tent. For a naturally stunning wedding day that you and your guests will never forget, choose artistreEscapes Island Garden Venue!
