Starry Night Barn & Studios
Starry Night Barn & Studios opened in the spring of 2017 as a premier wedding and events venue located on the Leelanau Peninsula in beautiful Suttons Bay, MI. Starry Night Barn has been respectfully renovated (and continues to be), maintaining its historic barn bones, with modern conveniences and full accommodations to meet all safety and code requirements. Starry Night Barn & Studios and Century Farm Cottages, our guest accommodations, are perfect for guests seeking a space that offers a slow-paced, relaxed environment to fully enjoy and experience every minute of your special event. We hope to offer our guests peace of mind and time to be with family and loved ones to share, reflect, and be in the moment.

Perfectly spring! J&Z celebrated their wedding at the peak of June green. Thank you @carlylynnevisuals for these happy photos and memories. #springweddings #northernmichiganwedding #barnwedding #junewedding #willowtree
Post K& J’s ceremony when the guests have moved on to cocktail hour and this sweet floral arch in front of the willow is all on its own. #barnweddingvenue #barnwedding #floralarch #northernmichiganwedding #augustwedding

S&B’s wedding celebration this weekend shook our sense of normal with a never-been-done floorplan and new vendors. My unprofessional pics don’t come close to capturing the magic and nuance that the @conradieeventdesign team choreographed so we’ll share the throw down photos from @amycarrollphotography when they roll in. More to share soon with the full vendor team tagged! #weddingsetup #barnwedding #michiganwedding #julywedding #northernmichiganwedding
E&E’s wedding the last weekend of June. It was superb in every way. Everything clicked: a fabulous crew of vendors and support, amazing, gracious families and friends with an outpouring of love for E&E. So many smiles everywhere and the sunny skies and perfect breeze was the cherry on top. Stacy and team @juniperandlaceevents planned and coordinated this long wedding weekend to a “T.” The tables were beautiful, the drinks were beautiful the flowers and music and the food..oh my!! @s2s.sugar2salt knocked it out of the park as usual with a big dream team, gorgeous food and big smiles. I can’t wait for the professional photos of the details and @jerryrossband They rocked all night long to a packed dance floor. Three cheers to these vendor teams who made this one so special!

We had a fabulous weekend of love, unexpected sun, a stellar vendor team, all hands on deck for a full barn ceremony and then reset for reception for 250+!! E & B’s barn ceremony was simple and stunning with E surprising her new husband with a ceremony serenade- her first time signing in front of anyone and she nailed it! That was a first here @starrynightbarn So, so many fun details in this weekend’s love story. The good pics will follow from @jamieerickson.photo

In a few weeks we’ll be starting our 10th season here at Starry Night Barn!! These photos are from that first season. The first pic is L&S, the very first clients to take a chance on us in those early stages of barn restoration (major chaos!). A&A, second pic, had the honor of being our first official event. So much has changed at the barn and buildings over the years but the privilege of witnessing beautiful celebrations of love and family has stayed constant. We’re grateful for such a special opportunity and we look forward to witnessing the stories of 2026! More retrospectives to come, year by year!! #northernmichiganwedding #10years #cheerstolove #barnwedding #weddingday
Today’s sunshine and rising temps spur on the hope of spring! Cheers to lush green and bright colors ahead!! #springiscoming☀️ #springweddings #2026wedding #barnwedding #northernmichigan
We look forward to celebrating a season of love and joy in a few short months. We need more kissing and love in this world! Here’s to past and future seasons of kissing, dips and love! #weddingkiss #barnwedding #northernmichiganwedding #morelove #weddinginspiration
Mood lifter for a late February Wednesday eve. I got S&D’s photo gallery from @carriechouse so here’s a few from their Sept wedding. #sparklerexit #septemberwedding #northernmichiganwedding #barnweddingvenue #barnwedding
The other side of the willow! G came straight out of the little stone cottage door and then through a curved aisle (staged by @dragonflyeventdesigns) to the west side of the willow tree and the sun peaked through with bits of blue sky and puffy clouds where B was waiting. Sweetness overload. @rosephotonomi #weddingceremony #willow #outdoorceremony #barnwedding #northernmichiganwedding
G&B and their first-look moments. A gift to remember the feel of this mid October day and the kindness and love these two share. Stunning photos from @rosephotonomi #firstlook #octoberwedding #barnwedding #weddingmemories #love
The silo!! This group shot by @digiphotodesign from M&K’s wedding is one of my favs to date! I originally planned to put in a huge round dining table (still want to at times) but this is why we didn’t. Eleven people hanging out in here during cocktail hour! And then this long perspective shot of M&K from outside the Silo with the massive stone walls. So cool! #silo #silolounge #cocktailhour #barnweddings #barnweddingvenue
The small moments. ❤️❤️ K&M’s wedding this past September. Capture credit goes to @digiphotodesign #kidsatweddings #septemberwedding #barnwedding #michiganwedding #leelanau
M&K’s wedding the last weekend of September, 2025. The weather was fantastic but the light was the real show. That gentle, late season light. @digiphotodesign promises “mood magic.” They so delivered! I love these photos of these amazing people! #barnwedding #letsgetmarried #northernmichiganwedding #septemberwedding #barnweddingvenue

We get a lot of questions about winter tours. Yes- we do tours throughout the winter but it’s a colder, usually snowier experience! Come prepared with boots and warm coats!! #venuetours #itswinter #weddingvenue #northernmichiganwedding #barnwedding
