Greencrest Manor Michigan Wedding

Battle Creek, MI | Jessica + Mar

Planning a wedding in Michigan, but dreaming of saying your vows in the French countryside? Greencrest Manor in Battle Creek is basically your passport without the plane ticket. The first time I turned the corner and caught sight of this bed-and-breakfast-turned-wedding-venue, I gasped (not even being dramatic). The whole place feels like a love letter written in stone and ivy. From the grand staircase lined with European art to the sculpted gardens that look like they’ve been plucked from a Monet painting, Greencrest Manor is the kind of venue that makes you want to press pause and just stay forever.

And when I say the possibilities are endless here—I mean it. Whether you picture a sun-drenched garden ceremony with blooms all around you, a romantic evening “I do” on the patio under string lights, or an indoor vow exchange inside their light-filled celebration house with its dreamy white ceilings and silver lantern chandeliers—Greencrest Manor has you covered. Each space feels like it was made for a different kind of story, and you get to choose the one that fits yours best.

Jessica and Mar absolutely understood the assignment. Mar’s suit alone deserves its own moment of silence (trust me, you’ll see the photos and know what I mean). Their entire vision blended so seamlessly with the backdrop of the manor—elegant, playful, and wildly them. Surrounded by their closest friends and family, the night ended with a candlelit dinner out on the patio that felt like a scene from a vintage French film. Soft music, clinking glasses, cozy blankets—it was, in a word, magic.

And here’s the best part: Greencrest Manor isn’t just a place to get married—it’s a place to be together. You can stay on-site with up to 18 of your favorite humans, arriving Friday and soaking it all in until Sunday. That means slow mornings with coffee in hand, breakfasts you didn’t have to cook, laughter echoing through the gardens, and time—actual time—to be with your people. Not just for the big moments, but for the in-between ones too. The ones you’ll remember just as much.

Weddings here don’t feel rushed. They feel like a retreat. A celebration. A deep exhale. Wrapped in history, held by beauty, and soaked in intention. If you’re looking for a venue that holds space for both the sacred and the silly, Greencrest Manor might just be your spot.
