    Wonderful Venue

    My wedding was on September 23, 2023. The day was a true dream come true. The owners are super friendly and answered any questions we had. The venue itself is incredible.

    Absolutely amazing!!!

    We booked Rush Lake in the winter time after seeing the inside of the barn and fell in love with the venue. When we went back in the spring with no snow on the ground, we were even more impressed with the landscape and the beauty of the whole place. When it came time for our big day, it was like a fairytale! The venue was blooming with beautiful flowers and the grounds were just immaculate! We did not have to decorate much because the space is already beautiful by itself and we just added our own touches. It turned out being the most amazing venue I think we could have even booked for our wedding. Michael, the owner, was so nice and accommodating and was there the whole night to ensure everything continued to run smooth. There is nothing I could say that needs to be improved apon. We loved having our reception at Rush Lake Memories and highly highly recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful indoor/outdoor space to have a wedding or reception!

    Beautifully Quaint

    We had our wedding at Rush lake August 6, 2022 and we were beyond satisfied with how everything turned out. Mike (owner) was extremely helpful/responsive throughout the entire process! From the landscape and scenery to every last small detail, this place exceeded ALL of our expectations! Such a beautiful venue and we are forever grateful to have chosen Rush Lake to look back on. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a rustic yet modern feel of beautiful Michigan!

    Exceptional Venue

    We held our daughter's graduation party at Rush Lake Memories and highly recommend this outstanding venue. The setting is rustic and charming, perfect for any occasion. And the owners are extremely friendly and super helpful. We could not have asked for a more perfect setting to celebrate such a special day!

    Beautiful place!

    The venue is amazing and stunningly beautiful! Minimal decorating is needed, as the venue is already decorated so beautifully! Mike and his family were amazing to work with, as they made my special day go so smooth! I would highly recommend if you’re looking for a large capacity venue and wonderful people to work with!

    Bride and Groom

    Everything was perfect! Just had our wedding there on 9/11 and the owners were accommodating and on site for anything that we needed. Everything was landscape beautifully lots of areas for wedding pictures on site. A separate area for the wedding party to get ready in.

    Amazing wedding

    Rush Lake memories was the most perfect venue for our wedding. The moment we visited it, I knew it was the place and I didn’t look at any other venue. The barns, yard, arbor, landscaping, bridal suite and the whole set up is flawless and so perfectly maintained. A lifetime of memories was captured at this extravagant property. Thank you Mike and Sue for making this happen!
    ❤️ Erin & Mike

    Absolutely amazing!!

    We could not have asked for a better experience. From the beginning to the end the owners we more than helpful with everything to helping us make payment arrangements to pay for the venue to helping us find other vendors to do the food and cake. This place is amazing and gorgeous. Mike and his family are amazing people who helped make our special day something that we will never forget. Even though we were in the middle of a pandemic with our wedding mike helped make everything so special. My husband and I along with my family thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the amazing day that you helped us have.

    Beautiful venue & service!

    Such a beautiful venue! Mike was amazing to work with and really went above and beyond to make sure our day was special! The landscaping around the venue is absolutely gorgeous. We got married during COVID-19 and Mike was quick to work with us. We would highly recommend this venue to celebrate your special day.

    The perfect location for a perfect day!!!

    I can't even begin to explain how amazing our experience was working with Mike and Sue at Rush Lake Memories. The venue is absolutely stunning and they were so easy to work with throughout the whole planning process. They were always a phone call away and responded quickly to all of our questions. I received compliments all night long about how perfect the venue was. We were able to set up the night before and choose our own vendors which is rare to find at other wedding venues. I honestly cannot stop smiling thinking about how amazing our wedding day was. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone that wants a wonderful stress free wedding day with venue owners who treat you like family!! See photos below with more to come from my photographer! 🥰

    Attended a graduation party at Rush Lake Memories. What an amazing venue. This is the perfect place for a country wedding. Beautiful vineyard views. There is plenty of room for dancing and socializing inside and a fire pit and large open space outside. I highly recommended Rush Lake Memories.

    Outstanding!

    Rush lake memories made our special day perfect! We got married Oct 13th, 2018 and the setting was absolutely beautiful with the fall colors! The service was top notch and you could not ask for nicer people to hell make your special day go smooth! The decorations and outside patio work they have done is astonishing and even has a fire pit to set off the perfect rustic wedding. We had roughly 150 guests and there was more than enough room for everyone to spread out. I would recommend Rush Lake Memories to anybody looking for an amazing venue and great wedding experience!

    We had our wedding at Rush Lake Memories on 9/29/18. I could not recommend them ENOUGH. They are so so accommodating and they listen to what you need! We had 4 hours Friday to set up for the wedding and they were super helpful with that process. Anything we needed they were right there! It was extremely nice having a place for the girls to get ready on site as well! The trailer was perfect. More than enough room for everyone. (I had 7 bridesmaids)
    The day of they were available if anything was needed which also was amazing! The guests all had a wonderful time! They loved the venue! The entire day was amazing. Perfect spot for the caterer, the bartenders and the BEST area for everyone to mingle and have a good time.

    I would get married here a million times over. Mike and his family are just fantastic people!

    I attended a wedding at Rush Lake Memories and it was absolutely phenomenal. I have never attended a wedding where I could be dancing on a nice concrete dance floor one minute and then take a few steps outside and enjoy sitting around a relaxing fire. If you are looking for a rustic and charming location for your wedding, this venue is for you. This venue has the little touches that make a wedding one to talk about. The barn itself had ceiling fans to keep the guests cool as well as romantic mason jar lights hung from the ceiling. Located outside there is an amazing bridal suite and an open fire ring, and finally, a superior view of Southwestern Michigan's countryside. The staff was extremely hospitable and I felt completely comfortable the entire time I was at the wedding. I believe that these unique attributes made this venue very deserving of a 5-Star rating.

    This is a family run venue and the accommodations were perfect for my wedding. It is beautiful on the inside and out. The owners made sure we had everything we needed and more. We had to move the ceremony inside due to rain and it was beautiful. This is an up and coming venue and you will not regret checking this place out. I instantly fell in love with it and so will you.

    Working with Mike is such a joy. It amazes me the amount of care and effort he puts into your wedding. It truly makes you feel like you're his only client! Our day was fabulous; we had wonderful weather and utilized their optional corn hole games and had a lovely fire to warm us up in the October night. The barn is decorated beautifully, and Mike does a great job making all of the little details run smoothly, so you don't have to worry about a thing on your actual day. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a nice, open, barn space with wonderful decorations, relations, and placement!
