Indoor/Outdoor Affordable All-Inclusive Venue
Welcome to South Haven Creations! We're so glad you're here. We are a Gathering Place… for an unforgettable experience that will last a lifetime. You're going to love our space if…. you’re looking for a unique venue close to Lake Michigan (0.5 mi) that will provide the best experience for you and up to 209 of your closest family and friends. One that allows for multiple gathering spaces with opportunities to dance the night away, have an intimate chat by the indoor or outdoor fireplace, roast some marshmallows, play some yard games, or sit on the 20x40 ft. deck with a cocktail in hand totally engrossed in watching everyone have the time of their lives. We have indoor and outdoor options for your ceremony as well as cocktail hour. We have a wooded ceremony site to say "I do" surrounded by trees and nature, a front lawn option in front of the stone fireplace, or indoors in the reception space. Our venue is warm and cozy with a family home feel to gather with those you love and celebrate your new journey together. Our reception space gives you a clean white pallet with plenty of natural lighting. Bright and airy, moody and dark, or somewhere in between, our neutral space will allow you to decide whatever color or design you desire for your dream wedding. We provide catering, bar services, linens, napkins, china, tables, chairs, soft seating, games, and so much more. Full catering and bar services are provided through our parent company, Catered Creations Inc. Have you ever gone to an event and walked away thinking, ‘that was perfect', but can’t really put your finger on why? It’s probably because your host paid attention to even the smallest of details. Since we basically grew up in the catering world, our family has worked with over 100 venues and event spaces over the past 36+ years. We have learned what works and what doesn’t. We’re experts at what we do—and you’ll sense our passion and expertise every second of your special day. When you work with us, you’ll be treated as an extension of our family. And because we value relationships above all else, we have intentionally crafted every detail of our venue to help you make meaningful memories and enjoy your people.

South Haven Creations Reviews
I have so many great things to say that I don’t even know where to start, but if you are reading this review and considering South Haven Creations for your big day, this is your confirmation to book it. We knew from the moment we pulled in the parking lot how much we loved the space and what absolutely sealed the deal for us was our meeting with Patti.When you book at SHC, you will get top notch client care. Any questions you may have are answered in a thorough, quick, and thoughtful manner. Patti and her team have been in the biz for many years now, and you can absolutely see it. Wedding planning is stressful, but SHC knows how to make it as smooth as possible for you. We couldn’t imagine our experience with any other team.Our big day finally rolled around and I walked into the venue to find Patti with her earpiece in place. When that earpiece comes out, Patti is boss! She handled the entire day like the expert she is, and several people (especially family) told me later how impressed they were. On top of that, the space was absolutely gorgeous. When I get more pics from our photographer they will be uploaded. I adored how beautiful the place was on our day.Next - THE FOOD! I had multiple guests tell me that it’s the best food they ever had at a wedding. We went with the fall buffet menu (think pumpkin tortellini and warm corn bread with honey butter greatness). It’s a fact that most brides/grooms have to be force fed on their big day because they are so busy. That was absolutely NOT the case for us. The food was so dang good that we did not want to leave our plates that the team graciously prepared for us before we even got to our tables. 150/10 review for the food,10 stars all day every day.At the end of the long night (around 11:15pm) when ppl were finally cleaning and ready to walk out the door, I saw Patti chatting with my aunt, whose daughter is getting married next year in Texas. It was a long day, and Patti was sharing all of her tips and tricks for how to have a great wedding. SHC isn’t hosting the wedding obviously bc it’s in Texas, but her time and thoughtfulness in that moment when she didn’t have to give it is just another testament about how their client care is the best.We met with Patti the day after our wedding as she set some extra food aside for us in boxes for us to enjoy later. She even made a box for grandpa with a nice note on top, along with a big bag of dog treats for our pup. After a nice good chat and reminiscing about our day, we finally left. Our last sentiment before leaving South Haven for the weekend was how much we will miss Patti, the team, the venue, and our entire experience. We will be back to visit If you want to have an amazing top notch wedding experience, look no further - you just found it at South Haven Creations.

Our wedding day was MAGICAL in large part to Patti and her team at South Haven Creations. From beginning to end they were there if we had questions and on the day of went above and beyond to assist. The food and drink were a HIT. The rum punch went over amazing and SHC has made an art of mashed potatoes. Overall would recommend this venue and I will cherish the photos forever.

SHC was our wedding venue, catering, and bar! I loved that we were able to bundle all of those services with one vendor. I also loved that we were able to have our wedding ceremony and reception in the same location, even if it rained (which it thankfully didn't). Patti, the owner, was great to work with. She has years and years of catering experience and created a truly beautiful wedding venue with every detail in the space thought out. We had no issues trusting Patti and valued her insight into some difficult decisions. We were out of state and unfortunately couldn't attend any of the tastings for food, but the food was delicious and our guests loved it. We also had several guests traveling from out of state who stayed in South Haven for a couple days prior and the cute lake town had a lot to offer. We have no regrets having our wedding at South Haven Creations :)

South Haven Creations was an amazing venue for us! They went above and beyond to give us the perfect day- (including adding a last second additional drink to our bar menu for no extra cost :) ). Patti and the whole family are amazing. One thing in particular was we were a tad wary of being an LGBTQ couple in small town MI and they loved and accepted us with open arms as they would any couple. We couldn’t have asked for more perfect place for our perfect day.

This venue has a great location! The venue itself has been remodeled for a modern, classic look. There is a beautiful outdoor area to host a ceremony and another area for yard games with a fireplace to keep your guests entertained! I also love that Lake Michigan is about a 5 minute walk away - great for photo ops!
