Starry Night Barn & Studios
Starry Night Barn & Studios opened in the spring of 2017 as a premier wedding and events venue located on the Leelanau Peninsula in beautiful Suttons Bay, MI. Starry Night Barn has been respectfully renovated (and continues to be), maintaining its historic barn bones, with modern conveniences and full accommodations to meet all safety and code requirements. Starry Night Barn & Studios and Century Farm Cottages, our guest accommodations, are perfect for guests seeking a space that offers a slow-paced, relaxed environment to fully enjoy and experience every minute of your special event. We hope to offer our guests peace of mind and time to be with family and loved ones to share, reflect, and be in the moment.

Opening this Summer, Stay Tuned!
We look forward to celebrating a season of love and joy in a few short months. We need more kissing and love in this world! Here’s to past and future seasons of kissing, dips and love! #weddingkiss #barnwedding #northernmichiganwedding #morelove #weddinginspiration
Mood lifter for a late February Wednesday eve. I got S&D’s photo gallery from @carriechouse so here’s a few from their Sept wedding. #sparklerexit #septemberwedding #northernmichiganwedding #barnweddingvenue #barnwedding
The other side of the willow! G came straight out of the little stone cottage door and then through a curved aisle (staged by @dragonflyeventdesigns) to the west side of the willow tree and the sun peaked through with bits of blue sky and puffy clouds where B was waiting. Sweetness overload. @rosephotonomi #weddingceremony #willow #outdoorceremony #barnwedding #northernmichiganwedding
G&B and their first-look moments. A gift to remember the feel of this mid October day and the kindness and love these two share. Stunning photos from @rosephotonomi #firstlook #octoberwedding #barnwedding #weddingmemories #love
The silo!! This group shot by @digiphotodesign from M&K’s wedding is one of my favs to date! I originally planned to put in a huge round dining table (still want to at times) but this is why we didn’t. Eleven people hanging out in here during cocktail hour! And then this long perspective shot of M&K from outside the Silo with the massive stone walls. So cool! #silo #silolounge #cocktailhour #barnweddings #barnweddingvenue
The small moments. ❤️❤️ K&M’s wedding this past September. Capture credit goes to @digiphotodesign #kidsatweddings #septemberwedding #barnwedding #michiganwedding #leelanau
M&K’s wedding the last weekend of September, 2025. The weather was fantastic but the light was the real show. That gentle, late season light. @digiphotodesign promises “mood magic.” They so delivered! I love these photos of these amazing people! #barnwedding #letsgetmarried #northernmichiganwedding #septemberwedding #barnweddingvenue

We get a lot of questions about winter tours. Yes- we do tours throughout the winter but it’s a colder, usually snowier experience! Come prepared with boots and warm coats!! #venuetours #itswinter #weddingvenue #northernmichiganwedding #barnwedding

A&C’s early June wedding. The smallest moments are always the stand-outs. Thank you @jamieerickson.photo for great photos and thank you, A and C, for sharing your memories! #weddingmoments #love #junewedding #barnweddings #weddingvenues #northernmichiganwedding #leelanau #springweddings
Still getting the barn and grounds ready for winter - a long process. But the sun and lovely 45 degree day was a treat! Must give a big shout out to our lawn crew, Mustards, for keeping this place in great shape, impeccable reliability, accommodating Lynn’s (Gardner extraordinaire) requests and tackling the big fall clean-up. We are grateful for your hard work. Coffees will be at the ready when the coffee shop opens next year.❤️ #gratitude #michiganweddingvenue #preppingforwinter #sunnyday #barnwedding #barnweddingvenue #smallbusinessowner
I came across this delightful pic of the creamery. I like its Hobbiton-ness. #farmbuildings #outbuilding #historicbuildings #creamery #farmbuildings #weddingvenue #barnwedding
It was an everlasting fall…until today! We wrapped up the 2025 season two weeks ago. It was a stellar season and most beautiful fall. Looking forward to seeing the 2025 galleries come in, planning for the coffee shop and farm market opening next year (for realsies) and chatting with 2026 clients excitedly planning for what’s to come. #longfall #fall #fallweddings #endoftheseason #barnwedding #barnweddingvenue #cycles #lovewhatyoudo❤️
Before I show off the stellar shots from @rosephotonomi I’m putting my amateur photos out there to highlight B&G’s sweet set-up this past weekend. Brianna with @sproutscontent also has some dazzlers to share!! #fallweddings #barnwedding #leelanau #barnweddingvenue #northernmichiganwedding #2025weddings
F&Z watching their wedding party besties make their entrance through the barn doors. The sweetest! It was a glorious celebration, with line dancing and the best “homemade” Photo Booth we’ve seen, compliments of Z’s older brother. So much fun!
Oh happy day!! The loveliest sweethearts in all the land! Congratulations S&N!!!! My quick photos before we see the real deals from @mkstudiosllc
Thank you to: @cateringbykellys @lakesidedjs @themagicshuttlebus @onsitebridal @dragonflyeventdesigns (planning and floral) and our fantastic @starrynightbarn staff

It was a moody-moon night and day wedding yesterday celebrating C&T. We caught a break in the rain showers to hold ceremony outside and then guests headed to the lower lounges where Lynn and Lillian served fun cocktails and conversation. Dinner was provided by @baysidegatherings Followed by gorgeous cake from @9beanrows. DJ Chase from @2baysdjs mastered the tunes (pictured with his Aunt April, one of @starrynightbarn’s fab staffers) and the tables were filled with flowers from @omena_cut_flowers. A super sweet weekend. Cheers to C&T!! #moodysky #septemberwedding #northernmichigan #northernmichiganwedding #leelanau #barnweddings #michiganwedding #fallweddings
This last weekend was all about the glass! Both vintage and Leelanau-inspired gifts! R&L had a sun-filled, breezy weekend with meaningful tributes to their people both here and gone. Beautiful.
With @carriechouse @folgarellis @julielevy7336 and @dragonflyeventdesigns
