19 North by Froehlich's

19 N Elm Street, Three Oaks, MI 49128
Hosted in a renovated corset factory from 1910, 19 North by Froehlich's is the perfect industrial venue to host your big day. This 11,000-square-foot venue with its original wood floors is located in the quaint town of Three Oaks but gives all the feels of a big city venue. 19 North offers plenty of natural lighting through large glass windows, a show-stopping chandelier and an opulent grand space to accommodate 350 people. An additional perk is that it's located above the Froehlich's Kitchen & Pantry Restaurant and across the street from Froehlich's Bakery, making it a one-stop-shop for your venue, cake and catering needs!
