A 'No Fuss,' Amazing Leelanau Wedding
Being a no-fuss Portland, OR couple, Brian and Ashley entrusted Ashley’s mom, Colleen, to book a wedding venue and start planning. Colleen took a chance on Starry Night Barn early on, well before all the work was done, and took on the coordinating reigns with grace and directions from Brian and Ashley for a “laid back,” smashing celebration! And they nailed it! Days before the wedding, Brian and Ashley identified their ceremony spot, planned their processional, rehearsed in shaky weather, picked and arranged their own flowers from Omena Cut Flowers, and celebrated with friends by the fire the night before their BIG Day. Brian and Ashley got married on August 19, 2017, a beautiful August day surrounded by both out-west and local family and friends. Everything about this wedding was up north local, but their love and respect for one another was out-west big and bold!

Wedding Details
Ashley and Brian’s wedding was story-book simple and elegant. Monstrey MacDonald provided the tables and mahogony chilvari chairs, along with round farm-style chandeliers that hung above the head table. They left our near 15′ foot farm table bare with place settings and farm floral, creating a fantastic wood backdrop for a comfortable head table. Local Northport caterers provided dinner followed by Moomers Ice Cream cones and sundaes – with a specially made “Starry Night Barn” flavor to boot! And the delight of the night came from Roaster Jack’s downright amazing coffee drinks!
