Festival in the Forest

Chicago-based Sarah and Travis wanted to create a much more unique guest experience than venues had to offer. We invited guests to the middle of the Northern Michigan forest where we created a venue in the woods from scratch. Following the ceremony, a gospel choir came in from Detroit and led guests on a forest walk to cocktail hour, with Moscow Mules tray-passed by servers along the way. When they arrived at the reception, a series of tents awaited them with immersive lighting that matched their vintage field guide-inspired invitation suite, floral installations, teepee lounges, lawn games, a Motown band, and an elevated multi-course dining experience with beverage pairings throughout.
