What Couples are Saying
The Beach Barn at Lake Life Cottages is the perfect Up North destination for a wedding. We were their first wedding for the venue, in May 2024, and it couldn't have been more perfect!
The space is absolutely incredible and being right on Lake Huron is special. If you're looking for a wedding venue, this is it. There is even the option to have your wedding guests book the cottages for the weekend. The owners are fantastic to work with and truly want your day to be special. Everything ran very smoothly and you truly cannot beat the views for both your ceremony and reception. Highly recommend the Beach Barn, you will not be disappointed!!
— Ashley S.We had our wedding at the Beach Barn venue, and it was wonderful! the team went above and beyond for us, not only on the actual wedding day, but also on the days, weeks, and months leading up to it. They were both very professional during the whole planning process which gave us confidence that everything would run smoothly on the day.
The venue itself is also gorgeous, and the beach access was a nice bonus for the guests!
— Kara E.I grew up spending summers near East Tawas, so when I got engaged and discovered The Beach Barn at Lake Life Cottages, I knew it was the perfect place for our wedding. The views of Lake Huron are absolutely breathtaking, and the venue itself is beautifully designed. The outdoor patio created the perfect indoor-outdoor experience—ideal for a Michigan summer wedding.
The on-site cottages made the entire weekend even more special. Being able to stay on the property allowed us to fully relax and made setup seamless since everything was just a short walk away.
From start to finish, we felt incredibly supported by the owners, Sharon and Phil, and their team. Their hands-on approach, attention to detail, and knowledge of local vendors made the entire planning process so much easier. We truly couldn’t have done it without them.
Our guests were in awe of the venue and the views, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Justin and Haylee Photography captured it all so beautifully.
If you’re looking for a stunning, well-run venue with incredible views and a dedicated team, I highly recommend The Beach Barn at Lake Life Cottages.
