Joy-filled experience of a lifetime!!

As I reflect back a week ago, I am so thankful that we chose to have our daughter's wedding reception at the Felt Estate. Words can't begin to describe our joy!

Our daughter and her husband had their first date at the Felt Estate on a cold winter day in 2017. They went hiking to the Lake Michigan shoreline where they shared their first kiss. After their engagement, it wasn't surprising that the Felt Estate was the venue they wanted for their wedding reception. It was the perfect place to continue celebrating their love.

I can't say enough good about our experience with the Felt Estate, and in particular Derrick, our event coordinator. Derrick is kind, compassionate, and very accessible. He answers his phone and emails promptly (on the weekends and even on the 4th of July).

Derrick and the entire team were wonderful to work with pre-pandemic, but when COVID-19 brought unwanted news and uncertanties, Derrick was our advocate. He shared our desire for making this situation the best it could possibly be. Originally, we had a "Plan A" and a "Plan B" (if it happened to rain). On the day of the wedding, we were probably on "Plan J" and "Plan K"!! :) Derrick had many creative ideas to accommodate as many of our guests as possible using multiple spaces at the Felt Esate, but still abiding by the ever-changing state-mandated rules and guidelines. The staff at Felt went above and beyond to get spaces ready for us! (We are very thankful that we rented the whole estate rather than only the mansion/west lawn tent.)

Our caterer said that out of all the venues they have worked with during the coronavirus pandemic, they have been the most impressed with Derrick and Holden (the other event coordinator). Communication and knowledge are so important at a time like this.

While the day looked different than our original plans, it was still very dreamy and magical - everything the bride and groom hoped for!! As the bride's mother, I couldn't be more grateful!!!

10/10 Wedding

I can’t say enough good about the Felt Estate! I was married there on August 27, and it was nothing short of a DREAM!! Derrick and his staff went above and beyond to accommodate for us. They look the time to answer all of our questions, and being an out of state bride, we had a lot!! As soon as our friends and family arrived on site to set up, the Felt staff was waiting to assist. When I arrived on site I was greeted with the warmest welcome and escorted to our getting ready suite. From start to finish, the Felt staff truly helped make it the best day for us. And not to mention, our guests were blown away by the grounds and the experience of touring inside the mansion!!

A Venue of a Lifetime!

Our experience at the Felt was absolutely incredible! We booked the venue back in February 2021 for an August 2022 wedding. From the event proposal process all the way past the wedding, Derrick and team were absolutely unbelievable. They are timely and thoughtful in their responses, the venue is ALWAYS adding on beneficial features and updates for the benefits of their clients, and the ability to stay on-site was unlike any other venue experience I have personally seen. We chose a Friday wedding to give us access the day prior to be able to get ready in the mansion and it was the best decision we made. Our entire wedding party stayed on-site with us and it will likely be the only time in our lives that we can say that. There are many options for the ceremony location and we loved the water garden but the weather backup in the beautiful third floor ballroom means you don’t need to stress leading up to your wedding which was a big decision in booking the venue. One good thing to note is Wi-Fi and service is spotty in the area so make sure your DJ downloads all your necessary music and that people have access to taxis or you set up transportation for them.

All the stars!

If we could give 12 stars out of 10, we absolutely would. Planning a wedding is, admittedly, a stressful endeavor but Derrick and Holden were a genuine joy to work with. When we ran into snags with vendors, they were flexible to the fullest extent they could be and we truly got the wedding of our dreams at the Felt. It’s worth noting too that, as we were planning our wedding from Chicago, we only actually got up to the Felt in-person once before our wedding. At no point throughout our planning did we ever feel hung out to dry or like we could not reach out with questions for help. Total experts with Zoom and we have zero regrets. They were also extremely gracious with all the dynamics that come up in planning (IYKYK) and we just so appreciated their expertise, grace, kindness, and understanding.

And it’s worth noting that when the groom had a minor wardrobe malfunction mere minutes before our first look, Derrick was on it. We got to know each other real well! A man of many talents and cool under pressure.

Getting married at the Felt was everything we could have imagined and more. The best day of our lives in the perfect place. And while we’re thankful we never have to plan another wedding, if you do need to plan one you can feel at ease with Derrick and Holden and know that things won’t slip through the cracks. And PS – if you need the space, stay at the Mansion and/or Carriage House. Beautiful memories were made.

Thank you so much, Derrick and Holden!!

Stress Free & Wonderful Experience

I seriously can’t stop talking about how amazing this venue is! The first time I visited the Felt for a walking history tour I was so in love. I’m so unbelievably grateful I can say this was my venue for my wedding on May 22, 2022! From the early stages of planning till the very end Derrick and the rest of the staff exceeded my expectations!

Derrick was SO helpful throughout the process and very detailed about everything. He was so quick to answer any questions I may have and was so accommodating! It was such a nice special touch to even receive a gift from the Felt to congratulate us on our big day.

The Felt Mansion

Having our wedding at the Felt Mansion was easily the best decision we made throughout our entire process! This venue speaks for itself and is, simply put, stunning. Derrick and Holden were incredible to work with and took away any anxieties and stress we had. They were incredibly responsive and insightful - helping us with the small details of layout to the big details of where to have our ceremony. They took the time to get to know us as a couple and did everything in their power to ensure we had an amazing wedding day. On our wedding day, staff was present and available for any day-of surprises. They ensured we were taken care of and that the day went smoothly. I can't say enough about this venue and would recommend it a thousand times over!

Breathtaking!

I absolutely, without a doubt, cannot recommend The Felt Estate enough for a wedding!! If you are even considering using The Felt Estate, just go ahead and choose them now. Where to even start, other than the fact that the venue is stunning- the grounds are well kept and lovely, the mansion provides a fairy-tale feel, you really do feel like royalty while using the estate- the staff are friendly and helpful. Derrick and Holden were there for us every step of the way and were quick to reply to our many questions. They provided helpful insight and suggestions that helped make our dream wedding a reality. The day-of staff were key background players that helped our day go off without a hitch! They were provided immediate assistance when we needed them, but otherwise were out of sight, we felt like we were the only ones there! I cannot thank the staff at the Felt Estate for making our day incredible, we would choose them again in a heartbeat!

Picture Perfect Destination Venue!

The Felt Property checked off all of our requirements while venue shopping for our big day - the property itself is unique, offers countless picture back drops, houses a private chapel as a ceremony location, and could sleep our entire bridal party + immediate family through the destination package. As an added bonus, the event coordinator, Derrick, and property staff were the not only responsive but incredibly kind & patient throughout the entire planning process (and to a bride who had a LOT of questions!).

Dream come true

The Felt Estate is a beautiful venue for a ceremony and reception. Derrick and Holden were wonderful and made the process easy and stress free! My wedding was a dream come true and we couldn’t be happier.

picture-perfect!

Hosting our wedding at The Felt Estate was nothing short of a dream come true. It checked all of the boxes: gorgeous backdrop, outdoor capabilities with access to AC if needed, unique event space with antiques and history, plenty of clean bathrooms, and professional/personable staff.

Our guest raved about the picture-perfect setting under the West Lawn tent. Some of our favorite reviews were, "I feel like I'm in wine country out in Italy" and "The sunset views are giving us serious California vibes." Everyone took advantage of the self-guided tours in the historic mansion, which was a unique perk of the wedding venue.

From getting ready in the bridal suite to dancing under the stars, the entire experience was excellent. A huge thank you to the event managers, Derrick & Holden, for providing such an entertaining event space, as well as the original owners, Dorr & Agnes Felt for building such a breathtaking estate!

Picture Perfect (Wes Anderson Wedding)

This was by far the most beautiful event venue we found in our search! It made for the most perfect backdrop for such a special day. My guests were in aww at how wonderful the mansion was. Everyone had a great time and got plenty of pictures. I honestly want to come back just to get another photoshoot here! The managers, Holden and Derrick are absolutely wonderful! Great at communicating, are super helpful, fun, relaxed, and are just there to make sure your event is perfect! I can not stress enough how much you must use this venue! It is absolutely perfect!

Felt Estate

We were absolutely thrilled with our choice of the Felt Estate. Not only did it check the boxes of a unique and vintage venue, Derrick and Holden were such gracious people to work with. They were so knowledgeable and answered all of our questions and then some. Their response time was fantastic especially with everything changing so quickly with COVID restrictions. We were so lucky and could have our day just as planned. On site on our wedding day, they were around for whatever we needed but never in the way. We would absolutely recommend their services and the Felt Estate to anyone! We had so many people mention how beautiful the venue was. We wouldn’t have changed a thing!

Genuine and Carring

The felt estate and those that run the wedding rentals really want you to have the perfect wedding day. They kept up on the several changes we made weeks before the wedding in terms of layout and they even allowed us to move the wedding to the ballroom the day of when we had the potential of rain. Also when the rental company failed to put the table linens out they stepped up and helped with setting out the linings. They also do a great job keeping mansion and the wedding tent clean for your big day.

Absolutely Amazing

After rescheduling our big wedding twice due to COVID, my now husband and I decided that we didn't want to wait any longer to get married. So we decided to do a small ceremony and celebration with just our bridal party and immediate family and the big wedding next year with our original plans. After researching I came across the Felt Mansion and thought it was so beautiful and the perfect spot for our smaller celebration. We rented the Carriage House and from start to finish Derrick was absolutely incredible to work with! He answered all of my questions in a timely manner (and there were a lot) and was just so helpful and friendly.

On the day of the grounds were absolutely stunning, the carriage house had a beautiful bridal suite and grooms suite for us to get ready in and the gazebo was the perfect location for our ceremony. We even had a wedding gift waiting from Derrick and Holden when we arrived to the venue. We were also lucky and we were the only wedding on the property that day so we were able to take photos up at the big mansion and all around the grounds. Everything was so magical and I felt so lucky to have the Felt as my venue.

I would highly recommend them! The Carriage House and Gazebo were perfect for our small ceremony but in seeing the grounds the large tent, mansion, and chapel were absolutely stunning for a larger celebration.

Thank you so much Derrick and team for making our day so special!!!!

Perfect in Every Way

The Felt Estate is an absolute dream venue. As soon as I saw it I knew I had to get married there! I was really drawn to the multiple spaces across the estate which allow for countless options when it comes to staging your event. We opted to get married in front of the chapel (stunning!), have cocktail hour up by the mansion, dinner in the tent, and back up by the mansion for dancing. It flowed so well and our guests loved getting to explore the estate throughout the evening. The true gem of the Felt, though, is getting to work with Derrick and Holden. They are pros—there is no question they cannot answer. They guided us through changing COVID regulations proactively and with such kindness. On the big day, they were present to help but also hung back and just let us and our loved ones enjoy a perfect day. I would do it again 100 times if I could!!

Dream Venue - Vintage, Elegant & Romantic

The Felt Estate was a dream wedding venue -- gorgeous indoor & outdoor spaces for ceremony, reception, photos & everything in between. The estate and grounds have so much vintage character, and then you have the tent as a blank canvas to make completely your own. The event managers, Holden & Derrick, are the best of the best - organized, passionate, personable & calm.

Stress-free!

With COVID-19 our wedding faced many challenges very close to our wedding date, including having to cancel with our original venue. We found the Felt Estate just 2 weeks from our wedding date and you can imagine the stress we were facing with the time constraint, but Derrick was very responsive and helpful making the process as smooth and easy as possible. Our wedding turned out perfect and the location received so many compliments from our guests! It was a very relaxed and enjoyable day.

Wedding of My Dreams

This venue is fabulous. So beautiful, massive, and perfect for an outdoor wedding. The staff made my day run as smooth as possible, especially during COVID.

Magical wedding at the Felt

We feel so lucky to have had our wedding at The Felt Estate! Derrick & Holden are a dream team. They were both extremely responsive, helpful and kind to work with. The venue is beyond dreamy and Derrick & Holden have done an incredible job with renovations and keeping the historical charm and character intact. Our guests could not stop talking about what a unique and beautiful venue it was. The photo opportunities are incredible with the lush gardens, beautiful home and the gorgeous interiors. You will not regret hosting your wedding here!

Beautiful Wedding at Felt Mansion

The staff at Felt Mansion were great to work with. The venue was beautiful, no decorations needed!

Only advice to anyone having an event here, stick up a paper that says Printed on your bridal suite/ groom room. Guests were exploring the mansion and ended up in my dressing room.

Amazing but...

Amazing venue but they make you go through an awful rental company (West Michigan Rentals), otherwise, it was a dream of a venue.

Enchanting

Prepare to be enchanted! We had a magical wedding at The Felt Estate. The property is immaculate, sprawling with natural beauty and meticulously groomed grounds. The beautiful and expansive mansion is welcoming for all guests to enjoy and explore. But, the best part...our event went off without a hitch all in part to the amazing support of Holden and Derrick, the estate’s coordinators. I have never experienced such proactive support and guidance from a venue. Their passion for the venue brought out all the best and I could never thank them enough for keeping everyone where they needed to be and everything planned perfectly.
