Kirkbride Hall

My husband and I knew from the beginning our wedding was going to be big, boisterous, and full of kids. We needed a place to accommodate that AND where it was all on site ( I hate being late) The front lawn of the Grand Traverse Commons was the perfect place. The kids had the best time running around playing and the adults could relax and enjoy the day. Everyone at Kirkbride was amazing, helping move the chairs and making sure through the week there was nothing else I needed. Kate, is a well of information and ideas. All I knew was where I wanted the wedding. She and her team handled everything else with perfection. Thank you again Kate, for everything you did for us. We still have people telling us how amazing and fun our wedding was.

We had the best wedding day because of Meg, Emma and Brad! Not only was the venue beautiful but the people were great! I felt less stressed because Meg and Emma were constantly communicating with me! Brad, the handy man, did an exceptional job at cleaning and setting up the space. The stain glass windows at Kirkbride is a wonderful feature that you will not get anywhere else. We looked at various places around Traverse City and this spot was hands down, a show stopper!

Kirkbride Hall is a beautiful unique venue! I have always known that a reception hall/ ballroom would not be the wedding venue of my choice. From the beauty of the grounds and buildings to the helpfulness of the staff, you can not go wrong with this venue! Meg and Emma made wedding planning easy. I am from down state and arranged everything for my wedding in a few trips to Traverse City, emails, and phone calls. Meg answered my many questions in a timely fashion and was able to set up phone calls that worked around my schedule along with meetings when I came to town. She was able to recommend vendors that were familiar with Kirkbride which was very helpful. Both Meg and Emma did an awesome job! They went above and beyond to help my special requests become a reality and make my wedding vision come to life. I wish I could relive the day over and over. I would recommend this venue to anyone considering Traverse City. Thanks again Meg and Emma for making my wildest dreams come true!

My husband and I were recently married at the Kirkbride, and we could not have asked for a better experience! Both the ceremony and reception were perfect. Meg was incredible to work with while we planned the wedding and Emma was great the day of. The venue itself is beyond amazing, and we would absolutely recommend it to anyone.

When we got engaged we started to reach out to venues. We both where amazed how many venues did not call you back or called back weeks later. We contacted Kirkbride Hall and Meg got back to us the same day. When taking a look at Kirkbride Hall both my future Bride and myself fell in love with the place. It was such a beautiful venue. Meg continued to be awesome to work with through the process. We both said that Meg was really on the ball. Jon the operations manager also was very great to work with. He made everything from set up to take down very easy and run smoothly. I would highly recommend booking at Kirkbride Hall. We had many comments on how beautiful our wedding reception venue was.

Kirkbride hall was hands down the best decision for our wedding venue. The staff were amazing and really helped to guide us, since neither of us knew what we were doing. The grounds surrounding the hall are so unique with an awesome balance of history, beauty & a little creepiness since its an abandoned/renovated mental asylum. I would definitely recommend Kirkbride if your looking for something gorgeous and a little out of the ordinary. Our wedding was in January and to see the light falling snow through the floor to ceiling painted glass windows was picture perfect! Kelli & Michael Garrison Married January 2016
