Nona W(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-05-2022 Tandale Nature Barn and the owner, Austin, were the best we couldâve asked for! Although on the pricier side, it was VERY worth it. We are still getting numerous compliments and rightfully so! The venue has three (I think) outdoor ceremony sites to choose from, all of which are spaced out well so that it doesnât feel awkward. Fortunately we didnât face this problem, but in the case of inclement weather, the ceremony must be held in the reception area which isnât ideal.What you get - Itâs important to know that you are paying for the building and the property only. This includes access from Friday at noon to Sunday at noon, pending other reservations and the tree house to sleep in on the night of the event. You are bringing in everything else - the food, the music, the linens, the alcohol, the bartenders, the decorations, the photographer, etc. There are plus sides to this because a minimum isnât required for services, but it does take more work to research vendors and organize. I highly recommend a wedding planner, we worked with Tricia Finn Events! That said, I always felt confident with the venue because I knew if everything went wrong, we could bring in a Bluetooth speaker & order pizzas, and the wedding would still look gorgeous because the barn and ceremony site in and of themselves are breathtaking.Location - None of our guests, nor ourselves, are local to Brighton but we had no complaints about the drive even from people flying in. Iâd make the trip over and over again for Tandale Nature Barn. The venue is a little bit hidden from the street, so make sure guests know where to go. The city also has a really cute downtown area for people to grab a drink at if thatâs their thing. We had room blocks at the Hampton Inn and the Hilton Inn Express which were less than 10 minutes from the venue. After going back and forth, we decided to get a shuttle bus and very glad we did because ride sharing (Uber/Lyft) was very scarce even on a Saturday night.Owner - Oh my! Austin is the BEST! He made sure to stand by our side with everything throughout the entire process. You can tell that he is willing to be involved as much as youâd like for him to. We let our wedding planner work with him for almost everything, but he still contacted us at times to make sure we were happy with everything and got to see the venue when we wanted. He answered all of my questions and always encouraged me to ask whatever I needed. On the day of the wedding, Austin was like our own day-of coordinator along with Tricia Finn Events. He is familiar with and builds a relationship with the vendors to make sure all runs smoothly. If you canât tell, heâs just great!Advertising - Donât let the lack of self-promotion deceive you. I was hesitant seeing that TNB didnât have any posts on Instagram at the time and very minimal things on other platforms. In reality, they donât need it! The venue is booking events constantly and I wouldnât be surprised if there just isnât time to brag about themselves. I recommend using the posts that theyâre tagged in to do your research. The guests and photographers do the promoting for them!Text from friend: âThe food was amazing, music of course amazing, THE VENUE WAS SOOOOO COOL.âSaid by friend verbally: âI was so obsessed with that venue. I talked to Jared about it the entire car ride back.âTo sum it up, we highly recommend Tandale Nature Barn! Reviewed on 21-06-2022

Tandale Nature Barn was the perfect venue for our wedding! We loved having everything contained in one location with full access Friday thru Sunday -- rehearsal dinner, bridal suite, ceremony site, countless locations for photos, cocktail hour patio, reception, and the honeymoon treehouse were all just steps away. The barn provided a great setup with plenty of space for the buffet tables, bar, dance floor and our 14 guest tables. Austin was also amazing to work with -- very communicative, accommodating, and helpful throughout the planning process. Highly recommend!! Reviewed on 12-11-2023

An absolute magical place to get married. Tandale truly was our dream venue and was worth the wait from booking to getting married. Being able to use our own vendors enabled us to do what worked for our budget and priorities, and truly make it our wedding. The property is meticulously maintained and could not be more beautiful in the summer. Having the venue for the weekend, the Treehouse as the honeymoon suite, and the bridal suite all on the same property allowed us to stay in one spot all day Saturday and truly enjoy the day. Austin is great to work with and could always answer our questions so we knew exactly what to do. Thank you Tandale for truly the perfect day! Reviewed on 22-07-2023
Katie Massa(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-09-2022 Tandale Nature Barn was the PERFECT venue for my husband and I. It is as beautiful on the outside as it was on the inside and has everything you could ever want. It rained on our wedding day and I am SO thankful we chose such a comfortable gorgeous venue because it allowed us to still have the absolute best time. The treehouse is STUNNING, the ready room was perfect for the bridal party to get ready in, and the ceremony locations were picture perfect. Austin, the onsite contact was SO helpful. He did absolutely everything in is power to make sure we had the best day of our lives. He was super responsive and great at what he does. Can not say enough about this venue!!!

Hannah Meli(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-08-2022 Tandale Nature Barn was our dream come true! We were looking for a venue that offered an indoor and outdoor option so our guests could spend time outside during the reception if they weren't really into dancing. Every part of Tandale is beautiful and our guests made sure to tell us. We got SO MANY compliments on how beautiful the venue was. Although \"Barn\" is in the name our guests were shocked to see such a classy and romantic space. Reviewed on 23-09-2022

Juliana Cheslik(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-09-2021 I had the absolute wedding of my dreams and Tandale Nature Barn played a significant role in that. The venue coordinator, Austin, was always so wonderful and accommodating to work with. He paid very close attention to detail and worked very hard to ensure I was going to have the vision and experience I so deeply desired! The venue is stunning, and I chose the pond to have my ceremony site at, and it was simply magical. This venue is such a hidden gem and I feel so fortunate to have gotten married here. I researched nearly every barn venue in Michigan, and this one by far surpasses all the other ones and what they have to offer. This venue had everything and more that I was looking for, and the pricing is not necessarily cheap, but very fair for what you get. I would get married at this place 100 times over again!!! Absolutely love Tandale Nature Barn. Reviewed on 04-04-2022
