Summer Weddings at French Valley: Sunlit Days, Easy Evenings, and Room to Celebrate

Summer at French Valley is exactly what it should be—open, vibrant, and full of life. The vines are lush, the orchards are green, and the property hums with that unmistakable Northern Michigan energy. It’s a season made for gathering, and one of our favorite times to host weddings.

With 70 acres to explore and wide-open skies overhead, summer weddings here feel expansive and effortless—never rushed, never overdone.

A Bright, Natural Setting

In summer, French Valley comes alive. Long days bring soft morning light, golden afternoons, and sunset ceremonies that stretch into warm, glowing evenings. The vineyard rows offer a timeless backdrop, while open lawns and outdoor spaces invite guests to wander, mingle, and settle in.

It’s a setting that doesn’t need much embellishment—just good company and something worth celebrating.

Built for Indoor–Outdoor Flow

One of the best parts of a summer wedding at French Valley is the freedom to move. Guests drift easily between ceremony spaces, tasting areas, patios, and lawns. Kids play. Friends gather in small groups. Dogs lounge nearby, happy to be part of it all.

It’s the kind of celebration where nothing feels confined—and everyone finds their place.

Easygoing, Yet Elevated

Summer weddings here strike a balance between polished and relaxed. Linen dresses, open collars, barefoot moments in the grass, and glasses filled with estate-grown wine, cider, or small-batch beer. The atmosphere is joyful without being formal, intentional without being stiff.

We believe the best weddings feel like the best days—simple, meaningful, and shared.

From Morning Prep to Starlit Nights

With our newly renovated Bridal Room, couples can start the day slowly and comfortably, surrounded by their people. As the sun dips and the evening cools, string lights glow, music drifts across the vineyard, and the celebration carries on under the stars.

Summer nights at French Valley have a way of lingering—just like the memories.
