There’s an undeniable poetry to weddings shaped by the landscape. Where architecture meets open air, and design feels guided by light, texture, and place. At Moondance, we’re especially inspired by venues that invite the outdoors in, whether that’s a chic barn or winery with views of the Bay, an estate lawn framed by ancient trees, a modern space washed in natural light, or a tented celebration overlooking Northern Michigan’s quiet beauty. Still, our work is never limited by setting; it’s elevated because of it.
Below, we’ve gathered a collection of venues - most we’ve had the joy of designing in, others we’re still dreaming of - that reflect the kind of timeless, nature-embracing environments where our florals truly come alive.
Peninsula Room & Mission Table
Old Mission Peninsula, Traverse City, Michigan
Why we love Peninsula Room & Mission Table:
The Peninsula Room feels like a celebration shaped by the land itself—an intimate outdoor ceremony space overlooking West Bay, framed by towering trees and the quiet beauty of Old Mission. Couples who choose this venue tend to share our love for nature, simplicity, and moments that feel deeply personal. With smaller guest counts and a setting that invites everyone to slow down and take in the view, it’s the kind of place where our florals feel truly at home. And, as a sweet bonus, it’s just five miles from our farm—meaning the blooms arrive ridiculously fresh!

Foxglove Farm
Sutton’s Bay, Michigan
Why we love Foxglove Farm:
Foxglove Farm is the kind of venue that feels effortlessly in tune with the landscape. Whether couples choose to exchange vows in the woods, among the orchard rows, or with the bay stretching out behind them, every ceremony carries its own quiet, organic beauty. Cocktail hour spills outdoors—often gathered around the charming old shed-turned-bar—inviting guests to linger in the fresh air. Inside, the restored barn is nothing short of breathtaking: warm, refined, and full of character. And behind it all is a team that’s as thoughtful and welcoming as the space itself, making every wedding day feel seamless and deeply cared for.

Ciccone Vineyard & Winery is a dream for couples seeking a Northern Michigan winery wedding venue with both beauty and serenity. The outdoor ceremony site, surrounded by trees and sweeping vineyard views, feels secluded and deeply connected to nature—an ideal backdrop for romantic, timeless vows. We love that the property includes getting-ready spaces for wedding parties, making the day flow effortlessly from start to finish. The restored wedding barn is breathtaking, with stunning picture-window views that bring the landscape indoors. Throughout the reception site, guests can wander, sip, and gather in unique outdoor spaces, creating a relaxed, elevated atmosphere from cocktail hour to the last dance. With our seasonal, farm-grown florals, the space becomes even more magical—softening the architecture, echoing vineyard tones, and bringing a natural elegance that feels right at home among the vines.

Perry Hotel
Petoskey, Michigan
Why we love the Perry Hotel:
The Perry Hotel is a standout Northern Michigan wedding venue for couples who want classic elegance paired with the charm of downtown Petoskey. We love that guests can stay and explore the city—especially vibrant in summer and fall—making the entire wedding weekend feel like a getaway. The hotel offers a beautifully intimate outdoor ceremony space, followed by a refined dinner overlooking the sparkling waters of Lake Michigan. The venue’s meticulous landscaping, historic architecture, and iconic presence come together to create a setting that’s both timeless and inviting.
And when we layer in our seasonal, farm-grown florals, the space feels even more extraordinary—enhancing the hotel’s classic design, echoing the natural beauty of the lakefront, and adding a soft, romantic touch that makes every moment unforgettable.

Riverside Inn
Leland, Michigan
Why we love the Riverside Inn:
The Riverside Inn is one of our favorite Leelanau Peninsula wedding venues—set in the heart of Leland, one of the most charming small towns in Michigan. Located near Lake Michigan, the Sleeping Bear Dunes, and a short drive from Traverse City, it offers a wedding weekend that feels like a true Northern Michigan escape. Ceremonies take place right along a river connecting Lake Leelanau to Lake Michigan, creating a peaceful, nature-filled backdrop that feels intimate and timeless. Inside, the venue is warm and quaint, perfect for couples who value connection, atmosphere, and understated elegance.
With our seasonal, farm-grown florals, the Riverside Inn transforms even further—adding soft texture, romantic color, and natural movement that echo the water and the quiet beauty of this beloved lakeside town.

Harbor Brook Hall
Traverse City, Michigan
Why we love Harbor Brook Hall:
Harbor Brook Hall is a standout Traverse City wedding venue for couples who want a celebration that’s relaxed, joyful, and surrounded by water. The beachfront ceremony setting offers a naturally stunning backdrop, while the reception space—wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows—keeps views of the bay shimmering through every moment of the evening. The atmosphere is casual yet elevated, and the owners are truly exceptional: warm, personable, and wholeheartedly focused on creating unforgettable experiences for their couples.
Because the shoreline doesn’t naturally offer many florals, this is a venue where our seasonal, farm-grown designs shine especially brightly—bringing softness, color, and organic movement that complement the beach setting and transform the space in a way that still feels beautifully coastal.

Gypsy Distillery
Petoskey, Michigan
Why we love Gypsy Distillery:
Gypsy Distillery is one of Northern Michigan’s most exciting modern wedding venues, blending its past as an equestrian center with a fresh, elevated design aesthetic. The new Conservatory venue space is truly stunning—light-filled, architectural, and perfect for couples seeking a contemporary backdrop surrounded by natural beauty. Indoor ceremonies inside the distilling hall feel dramatic and unforgettable, with soaring ceilings and the unique character only a working distillery can offer. Just beyond the property, elevated views of Lake Michigan create a breathtaking setting for portraits, cocktail hour, or golden-hour moments. With multiple rooms and layout options, the venue adapts seamlessly to a wide range of guest counts and event styles.
When we bring in our seasonal, farm-grown florals, the space transforms even further—softening the industrial elements, adding warmth and color, and creating a striking contrast that elevates both the Conservatory and the distillery spaces beautifully.
