Welcome to Starry Night Barn

D&T’s long wedding weekend here @starrynightbarn was pure spring bliss!!

We had a fabulous weekend of love, unexpected sun, a stellar vendor team, all hands on deck for a full barn ceremony and then reset for reception for 250+!! E & B’s barn ceremony was simple and stunning with E surprising her new husband with a ceremony serenade- her first time signing in front of anyone and she nailed it! That was a first here @starrynightbarn So, so many fun details in this weekend’s love story. The good pics will follow from @jamieerickson.photo

E&B’s long wedding weekend kicked off last night with a fun rehearsal dinner and welcome party in the lower lounges. Now on to the big day! #rehearsaldinner #welcomeparty #letsgetmarried #maywedding #michiganwedding

In a few weeks we’ll be starting our 10th season here at Starry Night Barn!! These photos are from that first season. The first pic is L&S, the very first clients to take a chance on us in those early stages of barn restoration (major chaos!). A&A, second pic, had the honor of being our first official event. So much has changed at the barn and buildings over the years but the privilege of witnessing beautiful celebrations of love and family has stayed constant. We’re grateful for such a special opportunity and we look forward to witnessing the stories of 2026! More retrospectives to come, year by year!! #northernmichiganwedding #10years #cheerstolove #barnwedding #weddingday

Today’s sunshine and rising temps spur on the hope of spring! Cheers to lush green and bright colors ahead!! #springiscoming☀️ #springweddings #2026wedding #barnwedding #northernmichigan

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

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

Perfection of the “dip kiss” and R&Z’s smiles. Contagious and heart warming. Happy married New Year to these two! Photos by @andibphoto #dipkiss #northernmichiganweddings #barnwedding #michiganwedding #letsgetmarried

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

More from @jamieerickson.photo of A&C’s early June wedding. #junewedding #barnweddingvenue #barnwedding #northernmichiganwedding #somuchlove #springweddings #michiganwedding

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

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
