Nestled in the heart of Wayland, MI, The Centennial Barn beckons couples to celebrate their wedding festivities in this timeless event venue. Caressed by the embrace of a 100-acre farm, this historic building can be the blank canvas for your tailored celebrations. An old soul with a modern heart, Centennial Barn offers a captivating setting where the past and the present harmonize seamlessly. Step into the grandeur of the century-old barn, a sanctuary where up to 150 guests can share your special day. The reception hall unfolds like a chapter from a fairy tale, adorned with handcrafted wooden tables, chairs, and a symphony of lighting and sound orchestrated by our in-house maestro. Six graceful doors, like secret passages to the heart's desire, allow you to shape your celebration's ambiance. As you wander through the woods to the ceremony site, an ancient Oak Tree stands sentinel, overseeing the excitement of your day. Guests embark on a charming wagon ride, a tranquil passage to a wooded realm where vows are exchanged, each detail a stroke of your own artistic vision. Centennial Barn hosts you and your wedding party in a designated preparation suite, complete with styling chairs and mirrors aglow with dimmable radiance.

Outside, the cocktail hour reveals itself as a luminous courtyard, a stage for social alchemy, where guests sip, mingle, and revel in the magic of the moment. This is Centennial Barn, where the past and present coalesce to create a future brimming with cherished memories.

First of all, this venue is perfect if you are looking for a barn and something rustic. I love that you take a tractor ride to the ceremony site. Then the ceremony site is gorgeous. They set it up so you are surrounded by nature and beautiful trees. I love the bridal suite as it’s set up to bring hair and make up to the venue which is hard to find. Zach is so easy to work with and makes the process that much easier. Johanna is the day of coordinator and goes above and beyond. The Centennial barn lets you enjoy your day, taking away the stress of everything. Highly recommend this barn for a wedding or private event. I promise they will help answer every question big or small.

As a vendor, working with venues can be tricky. This is NOT the case for this venue as their day of coordinator Johanna keeps everything super organized and everyone knows what to do! We worked an event for our family member that got married there and it was EPIC. We had the unique opportunity to work and be a guest at this wedding and the wooded ceremony site is a sight to behold! Great job!

We got married 10/12/23 and it was perfect. We were able to set up for a few hours the day before for an extra fee and it made a huge difference. Absolutely love this property and the employees. They are kind, courteous and efficient. I would recommend this venue to anyone for any event.

I really enjoyed having our wedding at the Centennial Barn. I have excellent communication with Samantha, everytime that I sent her an email I had a reply with an hour or so. The ceremony location in the woods is beautiful! The hayride to take us back there went off without a problem! The DJ they have is amazing! we had some interesting requests and he was able to get everything we wanted. and the BARN is beautiful! We got so many compliments on just how amazing of a venue we picked and I couldn't agree more.

Brides beware! There is now a new owner since March, 2017. She was absolutely no help on wedding day and didn't feel the need to be there. We had questions throughout the day and she was no where to be found. Do your research before booking the Centennial Barn in Wayland.

The wedding was absolutely beautiful. We received so many compliments! There were a lot of rules and regulations and vendors that we had to go through per contract that we did not like. However the owners changed a few months before our wedding so that may be different now.

I was at the wedding previously mentioned and saw that Ami and her husband were accommodating and helpful the whole time! Not once did I see her rude or negative. Every venue has rules and I appreciate them sticking to their policies even if people in our own party aren't following them. I would definitely consider The Centennial Barn for my wedding in the future!!

I was initially very excited to be married at the centennial barn It was perfect and Ami seemed like a really nice lady. I was very wrong. She made me pay for electricity at the ceremony site, and the website says it's all-inclusive. That is untrue. I had to pay 260$ to rent a suitcase, 8 buckets (empty) and a cake stand. I hired a planner for the day of and she was very rude to her. Ami was very rude to my photographer and bartenders telling them they couldn't set stuff up the way they would have liked. She was very ride to the wedding planner and kept moving stuff around while setting up. Apparently you have to have table cloths for their \"beautiful wood tables\" and this isn't stated anywhere on the contract She pushed us out early and made me feel like I was going to be charged a ton to stay and clean up. Also, Ami initially said that the venue only holds 130 people. This is also untrue. I was unable to invite a lot of people due to that. At one time, she was needed and she had locked herself in her office and wouldn't answer. Also, you aren't able to have any alcohol on site while getting ready. I have never been to a wedding where you couldn't toast before the wedding. Your wedding day should be beautiful and beautiful it was but Ami made it very stressful for all my help. I wouldn't suggest getting married here.

We were married at The Centennial Barn in September of 2015. What I loved most about the venue was the all inclusive packages they had. Ami and her staff were so helpful in the planning process. We loved that they have a staging company right on site and when we needed extra lanterns the day of the wedding, Ami got them for us quickly and was so flexible with us changing our minds on some of the items we wanted to use on the day of the wedding. When we forgot our sparklers, they even gave us some that they had on hand. We thoroughly enjoyed our beautiful day and would highly recommend this venue. Great to work with.

Wow. We had such a beautiful time at The Centennial. The weather, the venue, the wedding site could not have been more beautiful for us. The hostess, Ami, and her team took neat care of us. We used The Vault caterer - Incredible service. My family and guests could not have had a better time. Thank you Ami and team!!!

We had our wedding at this barn this past summer. It's a beautiful barn but we were not pleased with the way our guests were treated. Months after our wedding our guests still talk about how rude the owner and her husband were to them when we see them. Instead of bothering the master and mistress of Ceremony with issues the father of the bride was bothered, I had to pull up past emails to the owner due to her changing times and final guest counts towards the end, and many more issues we experienced. It was by far the most stressful part of wedding planning. I didn't want to leave a review but after the last comments I heard from some of our guests this past weekend I was really disappointed and upset that we paid a lot of money to be treated like this and it was apparently noticeable to everyone.

We had our wedding at the centennial, and we couldn't have chosen a more beautiful place to get married. Not only was the whole farm gorgeous, Ami and her family were great to work with. Our wedding day was perfect and I owe most of it to Ami. If you're looking for a gorgeous rustic venue with a great staff, the centennial is definitely something to look into.

I had my wedding at the Centennial Barn and couldn't be happier! The outdoor ceremony area was rustic and quaint and the barn reception was eclectic and fun! It was the perfect setting for two people who love the outdoors and appreciate a remote setting. The selection of decorations in the inventory was awesome, ranging from quirky, to artsy, to rustic - meeting the needs of anyone's style and taste. Ami and her staff did a wonderful job setting up the decorations as I had asked and were present and available the entire day of my wedding (as well as during the rehearsal) to answer any questions and lend a hand wherever necessary. They offered me great customer service, an affordable price, and a truly memorable day for not only my husband and I, but also our guests (many of which approached me during and after the wedding with comments such as \"Perfect outdoor wedding,\" and \"my dream barn wedding!\" and \"perfect Pinterest wedding!\" I have Ami and her staff to thank for all the compliments, as I can't take much responsibility for any of the decorating or style of the venue! I was very happy with my venue choice and am certain the Centennial Barn will grow to be a very popular barn venue in the west-Michigan area!
