    “French Valley Vineyard was the perfect place to have the rustic barn wedding of our dreams. Beautiful scenery, delicious wine, and incredible staff helped to ease the stress of wedding planning and allowed my husband and I to focus on celebrating US. The French Valley team was helpful, knowledgeable, flexible, and catered to all my crazy bridezilla whims in order to bring my vision to life. They were with me every step of the way from finding hookups for food trucks to facilitating an impromptu dance party on the patio during cocktail hour. We can’t thank French Valley Vineyard enough for creating a truly unforgettable day!"

    “I am a wedding and event planner in Northern Michigan and I highly recommend French Valley Vineyard for your wedding weekend. The event staff are extremely attentive and incredibly helpful in planning your wedding day. The views are beautiful, and the barn creates a unique venue experience offering two floors! There isn’t another in the area like it. The tasting room and patio also make for a perfect rehearsal dinner spot to keep everything on site for your wedding weekend. They have delicious food (especially the pretzels) and the wine is amazing! It’s a one stop shop. You won’t be disappointed!"
