Our dream come true wedding! Gorgeous indoor and outdoor spaces that our guests loved getting to explore. Derrick and Holden and the Felt team were wonderful to work with, detailing everything to expect for the big day. The list of recommended vendors was wonderful to have, as everyone on site for the big day knew the venue well, so day-of coordination was very straightforward

We celebrated our wedding at The Felt Estate in May 2023. After signing our event contract with Felt, it became clear there was a conflict of interest between the management of The Felt Estate and a wedding planning service that are run by the same individual. Due to the fact that we opted out of his coordination service, it became apparent that we would receive minimal support during the day of our event. As we were warned by multiple vendors, the representative of The Felt Estate, with whom we signed our contract with and met with multiple times to review day of details, was not present the day of. While the venue itself is beautiful, the staff did not meet basic guest needs. Our guests quite literally picked up their own folding chair from a pile to sit on during our ceremony because staff did not set up the agreed upon amount of chairs.

This was the most magical and beautiful Venue I have ever seen! We were so excited for our marriage to begin here, and the whole day went so smoothly with the staff. They were extremely communicative and organized through the whole planning process - always encouraging and excited for us, too. They were always available for any and all questions as concerns - they also made they day so much less stressful with the whole set up and tear down of all the chairs and tables. The staff the day of the wedding were so sweet, helpful and kind. The estate is so beautiful and welcoming - I wouldn’t have wanted to have our wedding anywhere else.

I had my wedding here almost two weeks ago now, and I just want to say how beautiful this venue is. Everything went absolutely perfect and so smooth, the day of coordinators were fantastic (Danielle and Tammy!) but also Derrick and Holden were there answering questions every step of the way, and were so kind and patient. I truly cannot recommend them enough, just absolutely amazing employees and venue.

The staff at the Felt Estate are beyond amazing! I had booked our venue far in advance (over a year) and each step of the process was so easy for us, thanks to Derrick. He made each meeting feel as though we had all of his focus, even though he and the other staff had constant other weddings going on. The staff we had on the day of the wedding was amazing too- Danielle made sure the wedding party had bottles water, checked on everything for me, and was so calm! Our wedding party also opted to sleep over at the venue the night before the wedding, which was not only fun (when else will I have a mansion to myself?!) but practical: we were able to set the tables with linens, centerpieces, and place cards the night before the wedding! It's a truly beautiful venue and makes for a magical, unique wedding.

We had the perfect summer wedding in West Michigan over 4th of July weekend! Every corner of the venue was romantic and picturesque -- from getting ready in the Mansion, to our ceremony at the Water Garden, a festive cocktail hour outdoors, and finally, a gorgeous dinner reception in West Lawn Tent. We were so glad to be able to host everything at one location. Derrick & Holden were an important part of our \"dream team\" of partners/vendors. They were incredibly accommodating, guiding us every step of the way and connecting us to the best people in the area. In large part because of the venue and the people involved, our wedding day is truly one of the happiest days of our lives. The Felt Estate is a very special place, and we have very fond memories with our dearest family and friends. We look forward to visiting it again in the future!

Our wedding was pure magic and I couldn't imagine having it anywhere but the Felt Mansion. Derrick and Holden were amazing and answered all of the questions I had (there were many many questions). The property itself is STUNNING and it was so nice to have the wedding and reception at one location. I can't say enough kind words for this venue and its managers. We were so well taken care of.

If we could give 12 stars out of 10, we absolutely would. Planning a wedding is, admittedly, a stressful endeavor but Derrick and Holden were a genuine joy to work with. When we ran into snags with vendors, they were flexible to the fullest extent they could be and we truly got the wedding of our dreams at the Felt. It’s worth noting too that, as we were planning our wedding from Chicago, we only actually got up to the Felt in-person once before our wedding. At no point throughout our planning did we ever feel hung out to dry or like we could not reach out with questions for help. Total experts with Zoom and we have zero regrets. They were also extremely gracious with all the dynamics that come up in planning (IYKYK) and we just so appreciated their expertise, grace, kindness, and understanding. And it’s worth noting that when the groom had a minor wardrobe malfunction mere minutes before our first look, Derrick was on it. We got to know each other real well! A man of many talents and cool under pressure. Getting married at the Felt was everything we could have imagined and more. The best day of our lives in the perfect place. And while we’re thankful we never have to plan another wedding, if you do need to plan one you can feel at ease with Derrick and Holden and know that things won’t slip through the cracks. And PS – if you need the space, stay at the Mansion and/or Carriage House. Beautiful memories were made. Thank you so much, Derrick and Holden!!

In addition, Derrick and Holden were the sweetest and most organized vendors to work with. I cannot recommend this venue enough!!! Thank you!!!

We instantly fell in love with the Felt Estate as our wedding venue. We booked back in October 2019 before the pandemic and Derrick and Holden were so amazing to work with throughout the madness of pandemic wedding planning. Renting the whole estate was the way to go so we could have privacy and not worry about running into other weddings. We also added 2 extra hours on the front end so we'd have the Estate from 10am to midnight - another recommendation! Getting ready at the house/in the carriage house (groom+groomsmen) was lovely and super easy, outside the chapel was a beautiful venue for our ceremony, and the west lawn tent was like a dream! If you want an outdoor wedding in a semi-private setting, Felt Estate should be your #1!

Hosting our wedding at The Felt Estate was nothing short of a dream come true. It checked all of the boxes: gorgeous backdrop, outdoor capabilities with access to AC if needed, unique event space with antiques and history, plenty of clean bathrooms, and professional/personable staff. Our guest raved about the picture-perfect setting under the West Lawn tent. Some of our favorite reviews were, \"I feel like I'm in wine country out in Italy\" and \"The sunset views are giving us serious California vibes.\" Everyone took advantage of the self-guided tours in the historic mansion, which was a unique perk of the wedding venue. From getting ready in the bridal suite to dancing under the stars, the entire experience was excellent.

Although planning a wedding during the pandemic was a challenge, we made the best decision booking the Carriage House at the Felt Estate for our reception.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception here May 2021. We moved to this venue after Covid forced us to postpone our wedding multiple times. Upon meeting Derek for the first time, he immediately set me at ease, despite me being a hot mess of a stressed out Covid bride. Derek made replanting my wedding so easy and he helped me fall in love with this venue by showing me pictures and virtual walk throughs. We had to plan our entire wedding virtually and didn’t see the venue in person until our rehearsal, as we live out of state. But Derek was so helpful in answering questions and helping me with details. When we finally saw the Estate, it took our breath away. This was the perfect place to host our outdoor ceremony and reception. Everything was so elegant and beautiful, it made decorating easy! We would highly recommend this venue and Derek to anyone considering having their wedding in West Michigan!

My husband and I had to change our wedding venue this year due to COVID-19. When we found out our wedding could no longer be inside we were devastated. Having an October outdoor wedding in Michigan is not common. We started researching outdoor venues and found Felt Estate. We scheduled a tour and fell in love. The property is gorgeous and the colors on the trees were the perfect background for our Fall Wedding.

The Felt Estate is an absolute dream venue. As soon as I saw it I knew I had to get married there! I was really drawn to the multiple spaces across the state which allow for countless options when it comes to staging your event. We opted to get married in front of the chapel (stunning!), have cocktail hour up by the mansion, dinner in the tent, and back up by the mansion for dancing. It flowed so well and our guests loved getting to explore the estate throughout the evening. The true gem of the Felt, though, is getting to work with Derrick and Holden. They are pros—there is no question they cannot answer. They guided us through changing COVID regulations proactively and with such kindness. On the big day, they were present to help but also hung back and just let us and our loved ones enjoy a perfect day. I would do it again 100 times if I could!!

After rescheduling our big wedding twice due to COVID, my now husband and I decided that we didn't want to wait any longer to get married. So we decided to do a small ceremony and celebration with just our bridal party and immediate family and the big wedding next year with our original plans. After researching I came across the Felt Mansion and thought it was so beautiful and the perfect spot for our smaller celebration. We rented the Carriage House and from start to finish Derrick was absolutely incredible to work with! He answered all of my questions in a timely manner (and there were a lot) and was just so helpful and friendly. On the day of the grounds were absolutely stunning, the carriage house had a beautiful bridal suite and grooms suite for us to get ready in and the gazebo was the perfect location for our ceremony. We even had a wedding gift waiting from Derrick and Holden when we arrived to the venue. We were also lucky and we were the only wedding on the property that day so we were able to take photos up at the big mansion and all around the grounds. Everything was so magical and I felt so lucky to have the Felt as my venue. I would highly recommend them! The Carriage House and Gazebo were perfect for our small ceremony but in seeing the grounds the large tent, mansion, and chapel were absolutely stunning for a larger celebration. Thank you so much Derrick and team for making our day so special!!!!

As I reflect back a week ago, I am so thankful that we chose to have our daughter's wedding reception at the Felt Estate. Words can't begin to describe our joy!Our daughter and her husband had their first date at the Felt Estate on a cold winter day in 2017. They went hiking to the Lake Michigan shoreline where they shared their first kiss. After their engagement, it wasn't surprising that the Felt Estate was the venue they wanted for their wedding reception. It was the perfect place to continue celebrating their love.I can't say enough good about our experience with the Felt Estate, and in particular Derrick, our event coordinator. Derrick is kind, compassionate, and very accessible. He answers his phone and emails promptly (on the weekends and even on the 4th of July).Derrick and the entire team were wonderful to work with pre-pandemic, but when COVID-19 brought unwanted news and uncertanties, Derrick was our advocate. He shared our desire for making this situation the best it could possibly be. Originally, we had a \"Plan A\" and a \"Plan B\" (if it happened to rain). On the day of the wedding, we were probably on \"Plan J\" and \"Plan K\"!! :) Derrick had many creative ideas to accommodate as many of our guests as possible using multiple spaces at the Felt Esate, but still abiding by the ever-changing state-mandated rules and guidelines. The staff at Felt went above and beyond to get spaces ready for us! (We are very thankful that we rented the whole estate rather than only the mansion/west lawn tent.)Our caterer said that out of all the venues they have worked with during the coronavirus pandemic, they have been the most impressed with Derrick and Holden (the other event coordinator). Communication and knowledge are so important at a time like this.While the day looked different than our original plans, it was still very dreamy and magical - everything the bride and groom hoped for!! As the bride's mother, I couldn't be more grateful!!!

The Felt Estate is an absolutely breath-taking venue for any event. It was my dream venue for years and I was blessed to be able to have my wedding there. We spent the day getting ready in the mansion, had our ceremony in front of the chapel, cocktail hour in the mansion, and our reception in the tent outside. In my opinion, The Felt Estate is the most beautiful wedding venue in West Michigan. Unfortunately I cannot give the Felt Estate 5 stars for a few reasons. First, it is a challenging venue for a wedding as you need to bring in many of your own vendors. If you are looking for a one-stop shop, this isn't your place. If you book your event at the Felt Estate, be sure to employ vendors who have experience with this venue as the age of the mansion makes it more challenging to cater and/or decorate than your typical venue. The second reason I cannot give the Felt Estate 5 stars is the staff. The folks who run events at the mansion are very kind and have great ideas, but were not exceptionally helpful on the day-of. Our coordinator frequently found the staff sitting in the second floor office when they were needed. Hopefully in the future they will be able to anticipate the needs of their clients to help the Felt Estate be the dream wedding venue it was meant to be. Despite my criticism, I would recommend choosing The Felt Estate for your wedding venue. The beauty of the estate far outweighs the challenges of such a unique venue as long as you know what you're getting yourself into.

We brought a lot of the decor and that took a lot of coordinating, I would definitley recommend at least a day of planner to help with the rehearsal and also to help with coordinating the decor and all of the extra stuff brought in.

We had our ceremony on the steps of the cute little chapel on the grounds and moved from there right to cocktail hour spread out on the two patios of the main house. Our reception was held in the permanent tent on the back lawn. They recently laid concrete inside the tent and it made a world of difference. It looks so clean, light and sharp, its the perfect canvas for any kind of creative decor you can dream up. We couldn't be happier with our experience with the staff at the mansion.

We planned our wedding from Denver, and they were quick to answer any questions that came up along the way and helped us figure out a lot of logistics. We couldn't be happier that we chose this for our venue, it was truly unforgettable!

The Felt Mansion was the perfect place for our outdoor wedding. The grounds are so gorgeous, we didn't need to decorate much. As soon as you walk into the mansion you can feel the rich history. The estate and grounds can be used so many different ways, which was great. We choose what worked for us and fit our personality as a couple. The staff were amazing, as well. Our contact person was so helpful with little questions and really reassuring about the details. The event staff were so competent and really helped with day-of needs.

If I had to choose a venue in Michigan I would choose the Felt Estate again. Everyone that attended our wedding said that the place was immaculate! I didn't have to spend much on decorations because the place speaks for itself. My guests enjoyed walking around the beautiful estate learning the history of it. There are options of having the ceremony insides or outside. You can have food catered or you can prepare it yourself. You can make things as simple as you want(that's what we did) or as complicated. Hands down the best wedding venue in Michigan, if you don't believe me ask my husband & our 150 guests!!!

I looked for a long time until I found my perfect venue. I wanted something outside but able to have a easy \"rain plan\". I thought they would be too expensive, but I called them and they are actually very affordable

We couldn't have asked for a better venue. I have wanted to get married here for years and it holds a special place in my heart. It was less expensive on a Thursday, so that is what we did. Ceremony was outside in the fountain and reception utilized various floors of the mansion. Guests were occupied and enjoyed strolling through the beautiful home. It is a lot of work to coordinate caterers and other venders and rentals, but totally worth it if you want to make your big day extra special. Cost depends on the day you choose. I did little decoration because the venue itself was beautiful inside and out. We did a strolling reception and seating was open and unassigned. The formal dining room was used for our head table, and gave us some time to enjoy our food, along with the company of our wedding party. The main floor was where the food stations were and there was a bar outside for cocktail hour between the ceremony and reception. After the cake cutting, we moved to the third floor ballroom where there was lots of dancing and another bar. We had about 185 guests, plus staff and that was an ideal number of attendants. It was difficult to get guests to move place to place, but we had our DJ announce events throughout the evening and had a detailed timeline for the evening printed in the ceremony program. The mansion provides chairs and tables for inside the mansion, and whatever you need for outside (other than the patio) needs to be rented. Two sets of speakers are available at the mansion and they had a microphone as well. I was surprised how everything flowed and how smoothly the evening went! The day of the mansion will open at 2pm unless you pay for it to be open sooner. It was important to have lots of helping hands to start decorating and leaving enough time to get ready and take pictures before the ceremony. Our evening ended around 11:30 in the ballroom and cleanup began. We were supposed to be locked out by midnight with everything out. I have only seen a few pictures, and we are so pleased with the results and have such great memories thanks to a fairytale venue!

I absolutely loved the Felt Mansion. They were great to work with and very helpful. The only negative thing is they require you to use a certain rental company who were not so great to work with. If you're planning an outdoor ceremony/reception and need a backup tent you only have one option of vendors, and we didn't have a great experience with her. Other than that, it's a gorgeous venue.

The Felt Estate is a lovely wedding venue, plenty of room for all of the wedding party to relax & get ready before the ceremony. Beautiful grounds for guests to roam before and after as well.\rThe cost (at the time of rental in 2010) was $2000 for a 10 hr time slot. Ideally this should be a 20 hr rental as you have to do (or get volunteers/ hire someone to do) all the set up and decoration, especially if you are having the reception there as well (which we did)\ryou have to do your own cleanup as well (inside & out)\rOver all the staff was helpful and friendly, answered the questions we came up with and were flexible with our time (as long as it fell into the 10 hrs allotted)

Attention Brides!\r\rIf you're looking for a great, historical setting for your wedding, look no further! The Felt Mansion, a summer home built in 1928, offers beautiful grounds as well as a third story ballroom for your reception. Depending on what you want available to your guests, you can book the entire place (the mansion and grounds) at an affordable price so your guests can see life in the 1920's as well as enjoy your festivities. Wonderful place!!
