About Greencrest Manor – Estate Wedding Venue in Michigan

Greencrest Manor is full of history and enchantment. Originally built in 1935 as a home on a couple’s favorite picnic spot, it was purchased by a Catholic church in the 1960s and used as a seminary for almost 20 years.

Jenn and Dave, the current owners, fell in love with the property’s magic, saw its potential, and decided to restore and expand it. With Jenn’s experience in the wedding industry (as a wedding planner and owner of Modern Day Collective), she knew this space would enchant others.

Today, Greencrest Manor stands as a beautiful estate wedding venue in Michigan. You can learn more about the history of Greencrest Manor here.
