We had an intimate wedding at Cornman Farms and we are SO happy we chose this venue! It is such a beautiful place, from the old farm house where we got ready to the rustic barn where we had our ceremony and reception. The team at Cornman Farms was amazing to work with! They made planning a wedding so easy and stress-free and they work with the best vendors.

We loved the food, the flowers, our officiant, our photographers, the flowers, and the cake! Since Cornman Farms is an all-inclusive venue, we loved the options of what we can choose to add on or not, like menus, place cards, bistro lighting, flowers, etc. We loved having Chef Kieron come out to talk about the menu with all of our guests! Tabitha, Gabby, Stacey, Rachel, and Adri always responded promptly to emails and were so helpful with answering questions and providing guidance throughout the planning process! Tabitha was our coordinator for the day and she was great, keeping everything on track for us and helping with anything we needed.

We received tons of compliments from guests on the venue, the food, and the vendors! I could go on and on about what a great experience we had! We are so glad we chose Cornman Farms, as they made our special day just perfect. We highly recommend!

This place, I attended for a wedding. Let me just say, beautiful. You won't find much around that really will make you feel a certain type of way inside, while not being in a completely huge space making you feel overwhelmed. When I walked into the place and got to the ceremony level, you look around and you're surrounded by high quality true craftsmanship.

Let me tell you, that you can look and the wooden beams until they were hand sewn. It was true quality. No really light smell filled the air of light cedar and pine. Then it was just natural scent from the wood itself. The staff are great they attend to your needs. They have a huge parking lot on the second entrance. From what I can say the food there was pretty good came out in three portions, there was a beef steak dinner and it was really good flavor, but for someone who's not used to something like that it might not be for you but I'm sure they have other options. From what I can say if you have a wedding here yes it's going to be more expensive than other venues around that you can probably find, but in my opinion it is worth it.

My family and I ordered three (3) dinners from the Zingerman's Cornman Farms New Years Day 2022 "Bangers and Mash" offering. Everything was delicious. and the entire team from the facility couldn't have been more pleasant! Thank you for a great holiday dinner offering!

My wedding day was beyond anything that I could have ever imagined. It was the most beautiful and special day of my life. The flowers, food, ambience, and staff were top notch. My husband and I never imagined a "fancy" wedding for ourselves. We were going to have a courthouse wedding, followed by a dinner at a nice restaurant with our immediate families.

I had seen an ad for Zingerman's "all inclusive" package and I was intrigued. I am so happy with our decision to have our elopement at Zingerman's. Every single penny was well spent. We are so happy that we had "real wedding." We had 17 people total and it was amazing. We were greeted by our photographers who happened to be walking in at the same time. Mary Beth and Loren were amazing at making us feel comfortable.

We never thought we wanted a wedding where we would have staff waiting on us for the entire day. But WOW did they make us feel special. Everything was so official and beautiful. Our day of coordinator, Kirsten made me feel like I was a queen. She was perfect. My bouquet was breathtaking. I used to say that I didn't really like or dislike flowers prior to my wedding.

University Flower Shop went above and beyond. I couldn't believe the beauty of my bouquet. I have a new appreciation for flowers. Our officiant was fantastic. Beautiful vows and ceremony. The continuity of the communication between the staff was so impressive to me. They kept their word and the itinerary was perfectly on track without feeling like it was pushed or rushed.

The open kitchen concept and chef were so cool. Our server and bartender was so sweet and friendly. The appetizers and dinner were delicious! We are SO HAPPY that we decided to have a Zingerman's elopement. seriously one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. Thank you Zingerman's for giving us a wedding that we will never forget.

Absolutely Beautiful and the staff was so great and understanding when unconfirmed guests showed up. Our daughter had a beautiful wedding in part thanks to the staff. Hats off to the Chef and the cooking team.

Like many, we had to change our wedding plans due to COVID-19 and decided on an elopement wedding at Cornman's Farms. The entire team, especially our main contact, Olivia, were amazing to work with from start to finish, which was also great given our quick planning timeline of about five weeks. They worked with us through every aspect and made it the most seamless day possible.

The space was amazing - I cannot tell you how many compliments we got from those in attendance about the farmhouse and surrounding scenery. The team at Cornman really worked with us to make the day about us and our story, while still making sure to keep our guests happy and entertained. How could I leave a review without talking about the food?! We had the most amazing four course meal led by chef Kieron that I'm pretty sure I will tell people about until I die. We could not recommend Cornman Farms enough.

We were just married here last weekend and had a lovely experience. The staff is so courteous and knowledgeable and the whole planning process was hassle-free. I could go on and on about how great the customer service was throughout the entire process. I highly recommend this location not just because of the staff, but the venue is so cute and inviting, and it is worth the price.

We recently had the Pie and Mash from the pop up shop, what a treat! The mashed lentils, potatoes and pie were all perfectly prepared and beautifully packaged. Everything was fresh out of the oven so we didn't need to reheat it but they did provide clear instructions in the event that you needed to reheat it. The location is beautiful, the staff, especially Tabitha and chef Kieron, is warm and inviting, I'm ready for the days we can kick back and enjoy our pie in house.

They made wedding planning SO EASY. After visiting the venue, we decided to elope with less than a month to get everything in order. It was a remarkably low-stress experience, especially given the timeline. They matched us with an officiant, photographer, and florist, and all of them were amazing and a great fit for us. The biggest treat though was the food.

Every single thing on our menu was phenomenal. By far the best wedding food we've ever had. Our guests felt so pampered, and so did we! Editing to add: we also did Thanksgiving from Cornman Farms - the whole deal with turkey, sides, and dessert. It was absolutely delicious, and the instructions for reheating were easy to follow. We loved how easy it was!

I'm finding it hard to summarize my experience with Zingerman's Cornman Farms into a simple, short review because of the amount of work and tireless effort that was put into my experience here. Tabitha, Kieron, Olivia, Kirsten, Rachel, and the rest of the team at Cornman Farms put absolutely everything they could into helping me plan my July 31, 2020 wedding on the farm.

For the past 10 months, I have been working closely with the staff here to execute our outdoor, 85 person wedding and it has been nothing short of one of the best experiences I have ever been a part of. Zingerman's Cornman Farms is the most charming and beautiful property with so much to offer couples who choose to get married at the venue. From the beginning, our expectations were met with top-notch customer service and all-inclusive experience.

I wanted to book this venue for my wedding since I came across it on a google search, but after seeing the property, the 1800s farmhouse, barn, lush fields and gardens, we were absolutely sure we weren't going to explore any other options. In the middle of our wedding planning, we were thrown a global pandemic which posed a huge problem for gathering. Tabitha and the Cornman Farms team were so gracious and prompt in replying to emails, messages, zoom calls, etc. during the entire shut down and included such an empathetic, supportive tone.

We knew from the beginning of the shutdown that we were going to get married on our wedding day no matter the circumstances, but we were a million times thankful that Cornman Farms chose to stick with us and do everything in their power to host our event on their property with accommodations and safety measures in place. On the actual day of our wedding, we were greeted by several people to help, including a concierge, and farm production and execution staff.

Each moment of our day was orchestrated perfectly and it is because of all the work the Cornman Farms staff does (especially behind the scenes). Our wedding looked a bit different than a traditional wedding because of the circumstances, but Cornman Farms put every effort into making it perfect that we wouldn't have changed a thing even if we could have.

Our day was a beautiful, sunny, 80 degrees and ended with the most picturesque watercolor sunset. We still can't believe everything happened, and that it was real. Our guests raved about every detail and we think about our wedding every single day. Zingerman's will always have our business, we will always be thankful to Cornman Farms and the people there, and we cannot wait to come back to the property for events and anniversaries in the future. Thank you Cornman Farms for playing such a huge role in our love story!

I ordered six meals from the Pie & Mash event. 5 of the pies were frozen and one was a complete meal (for my mother). The complete meal came with a sauce to put on the pie, but the frozen ones did not. Without the sauce or gravy the pies were dry. My husband ended up making a gravy to put on them. Zingermans sent me an email to review my experience, which I completed and was honest.

They reached out to me regarding my review, which I really appreciate and wanted to make things right. I had spent almost $95.00 on all the meals, they gave me $50 towards a new purchase. Since the Pie & Mash was over, I did the Stock the Freezer event stuff. I ordered the cookies you see in the pictures, pesto, romesco sauce, mashed potatoes and spaetzle.

The only things that are any good are the romesco sauce and mashed potatoes. The spaetzle was tough and gritty, the pesto was already turning brown and the cookies, well take a look at the picture. Not sure who made these cookies, but they are not a meringue anymore. Someone does not know how to bake a meringue. I usually love Zingerman's, but not this place.

I do have to say, I purchased a cake from Zingerman's bakery last weekend for my sons birthday and it was great - Boston Cream Pie! While I will probably still buy stuff from Zingerman's, take baking classes from them, I will not buy anything from Zingerman's Cornman Farms. Strike two, I'm out!

My husband and I had our Tiny Wedding here during the winter season and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out. The whole venue was absolutely gorgeous. We picked a Tiny Wedding because it is all inclusive and you don't have to stress about a thing! Things included in our booking price were all decorations, a bouquet and boutonniere, an officiant, a wedding keepsake, a champagne toast for all guests, a tiny cake, and 45 digital photos by a professional photographer.

We also got to experience a little meet and greet with baby goats! Literally the only thing we had to plan was the songs we wanted played and which flavor of cake to eat. The team that orchestrated the whole thing was incredibly organized. I highly recommend a Tiny Wedding at Zingerman Cornman Farms if you want a small and stress free wedding in a beautiful setting.

My son's wedding was there in July 2016. He only had 23 people and no music. The Farmhouse, outside wedding ceremony, excellent food and service felt like an elegant dream. The porch with a couple rocking chairs and the miniature goats also added to the "experience" wedding . So thrilled my son splurged on his special day.

We just had a lovely winter wedding at Cornman Farms. The Red Barn with its wood-burning fireplaces and rustic, yet very polished ambiance were incredible. The staff was amazing -- and the closer we got to the event, the more amazing they were. Zingerman's Roadhouse catered the event and the food was spectacular, including all the accommodations for various eating limitations amongst our crowd. We are thrilled that we decided to have our daughter's wedding there!

Cornman Farms sets the standard for barn weddings in south east Michigan - the staff is amazing and very accommodating to everyone including vendors ! Plus need I say more about the catering and food choices- Zingermans and now Forte Belanger can rock that out of the ballpark!

My husband and I had our intimate wedding here in September 2015, and it was absolutely fantastic! The planning process was a breeze, and done in under 3 months, and the staff was very accommodating. Our wedding was beautiful and our guests are still talking about how great the food was! Having the reception lunch in the farmhouse made it feel like a wedding at home- just now our home. I would highly recommend Cornman Farms especially to those who want an intimate wedding.
