FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • How close are hotels/lodging to the farm?

    We are only 10 minutes from numerous major chain hotels in Traverse City and there are other mom and pop hotels close by as well.  There are also a few campgrounds and airbnb type properties very close to the farm too.

  • Can we bring in our own vendors?

    Yes, you are able to choose whatever wedding vendors you want to make your day exactly how you want it to be so we absolutely allow you to bring in your own vendors.

  • What is the farms wedding season?

    The farms wedding season is May through October.

  • How late can our guests stay on our wedding night?

    Weddings receptions can go until 11pm.

  • What about set up and tear down of tables and chairs and trash removal and other personal items left after the wedding?

    We will assist you with the setup of all your tables and chairs and decorations when we "set up" for your wedding.  As far as the tear down we will also take care of that as you have more important things to do the night of your wedding.  We do ask that you have someone help us with removal of your personal items immediately following the reception.

  • How do I set up a tour of the farm?

    We do tours of Cobblestone Farms all year long.  Now of course in the middle of winter you will need to be able to look past the snow, but we can show the farm at almost anytime.

  • Can you hold our date for us?

    With the farms popularity and our limited season, we cannot hold wedding dates.  Dates are only considered "booked" once we have a date reservation deposit and a signed venue contract. 

  • How do I reserve my wedding date?

    A $2,500 date reservation deposit is all that is required to reserve your special weekend here at Cobblestone Farms. 

  • What is the policy for paying off the venue balance after we book our wedding date?

    After you have reserved your wedding date, we will work with you to set up a payment type schedule for the rest of the venue fee balance.  The venue fee must be paid no later than the first of the month preceeding your wedding month.  So if you are getting married in July, the venue fee must be paid for no later than June 1st.   

  • Are there any other fees I should know about?

    You will have to pay Michigan sales tax of 6% just like any other purchase you make here in the state of Michigan.  There is a $500 damage deposit, but that is refunded back to you as long as there is nothing damaged during your time here on the farm.  The sales tax and damage deposit will be listed on your venue contract.

  • What is the farms date change/cancellation policy?

    All date changes must be made in writing before January 1st of your wedding year.  For date changes, if we have your newly requested date still open in the same wedding year for the same day of the week we will move it for you free of charge.  If you are requesting to move your date to the next wedding season, if we have your newly requested date still open we will again move it for you free of charge.  However, if you move your date to the next wedding season, you will be responsible for any price increases from your current contracted price to the new venue price if there is a price increase. 


    If you need to actually cancel your wedding, anything you have paid towards your wedding date (the date reservation deposit and all other payments) will be forfeited.

  • What is the venue rental fee for Cobblestone Farms?

    We do things slightly different at Cobblestone Farm, we like to design a package specifically for you, your needs, your budget and your special date.


    Contact me anytime and I will be more than happy to design a package for you :) 

  • Where can we find information on obtaining our Michigan marriage license?

    If you are a Michigan resident you must obtain your marriage license from the county you currently reside in and that license is then good out here on the farm.  Out of state residents must apply for your marriage license through Grand Traverse County as that is the county the farm is in.  Please click on the Grand Traverse County icon below and you will be redirected to information regarding obtaining a Michigan marriage license.
