Meadow Brook Hall Wedding | A Romantic Garden-Inspired Celebration

There are few wedding venues in Michigan as breathtaking and iconic as Meadow Brook Hall. With its historic architecture, manicured gardens, and timeless elegance, it’s no surprise that couples from all over Michigan dream of hosting their wedding here. This romantic Meadow Brook Hall wedding was the perfect blend of classic luxury and garden-inspired beauty.

From the moment guests arrived on the estate, they were welcomed by lush florals and soft pastel tones. An atmosphere that felt straight out of a European garden party. Every detail was thoughtfully designed to complement the grandeur of the venue while still feeling intimate and personal.

Getting Ready at the Royal Park Hotel

Getting ready at the Royal Park Hotel in Rochester, Michigan set the tone for the entire day. The light-filled suites gave both partners a calm, luxurious space to relax and get dressed. They shared quiet moments with close friends and family while the natural window light made the rooms perfect for photos. From final touches of hair and makeup to steaming the dress, everything felt effortless.

A Garden Romance at Meadow Brook Hall

Eileen and Genc envisioned a wedding that felt romantic, organic, and elegant- something that would feel timeless in twenty years. Meadow Brook Hall provided the perfect backdrop for that vision. The ceremony took place in the Pegasus garden, surrounded by overflowing floral arrangements, soft greenery, and the historic facade of the mansion behind them.

As a Detroit wedding photographer, Meadow Brook Hall is one of my favorite venues to photograph. The light, the textures, and the scale of the property allow for such a wide range of imagery. Between the sweeping architectural shots to quiet, emotional moments tucked into the gardens, you have a wide range of photography options.

Golden Hour Tented Reception

Tented receptions are the perfect way to enjoy a beautiful Michigan evening. As the sun sets the guests can take in golden light and warm air. At Meadow Brook, open views make the celebration feel effortless and romantic. The tent creates a relaxed atmosphere while still feeling elevated and intentional. String lights glow as dinner begins, the breeze moves through the space, and the night unfolds in a way that feels intimate, comfortable, and completely timeless.
