The Desenberg, a newly renovated wedding venue in Kalamazoo, is located in the historic Main St. East Building downtown. Formerly known as the Desenberg building, it was constructed in 1886 and is the last Louis Sullivan building in Michigan. Its 17-foot-tall exposed beam ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows showcase the building's original design and embrace historic features with a modern twist, giving a chic, industrial, yet intimate feel. The space is outfitted with a glass wall projection system and professional house sound; there are endless possibilities when creating a memorable event!

Since its completion in 1847, the stunning Stonegate Manor & Gardens estate has enjoyed a rich history including an active center of commerce, a station on the Underground Railroad and now its transformation into an unforgettably enchanting Michigan wedding venue. Romantic outdoor features include 27 acres of lush land, a pond with custom-built footbridge, the estate’s namesake wall and gates and a handcrafted pergola and trellis. Inside the newly renovated vintage buildings you'll find characteristics like original stained-glass windows, French doors, marble fireplace, grand stairway, covered verandas, antique furnishings and much more.
