This Picturesque Michigan Wedding Chapel Has Been Charming Couples Since 1938: Meet The Morris Estate

"We found The Morris Estates as a BNB, I had no idea it was also a wedding venue until James told me he booked a tour. From the moment we drove up to the estate and saw The River House we were in awe! It was so magical and exactly the cozy relaxing place we had been looking for. We booked our wedding there and it was the best decision we’ve made yet! I seriously can not say enough about this place and the wonderful people who run it. We can’t wait to go back–this will always be like a little home away from home for us."

What sets you apart from others? Why should a bride choose you?

"The Chapel at The Morris Estate has been providing a breathtaking backdrop for weddings since 1938. E.M. Morris built The Chapel for his daughter’s wedding and has since hosted important events for both the Morris family and community. Although the name has changed to The Chapel at The Morris Estate, the property's quaint atmosphere and rich heritage will continue to be maintained.

Service, service, service. Our clients and their families repeatedly comment on the incredible service provided by our staff. Before the big event, we have experienced coordinators that work closely with couples to customize their wedding plan. Those services include reception layouts, itineraries, decor planning, etc. On the day of the wedding, we provide ceremony and reception coordination to ensure the day runs smoothly. In addition, we provide full service setup and cleanup allowing the bridal party and family to enjoy the moment. As a family-run business, we understand the importance of creating lifelong memories with loved ones."
