SPRING TABOR HILL WEDDING

This spring Tabor Hill Wedding was so fresh and easy. When people think of Michigan weddings, often they think lakeshore, but Michigan is home to some of the most incredible vineyards and wineries and they are not to be missed when choosing a wedding venue. If you’re looking for an outdoor wedding venue with incredible views, check out Tabor Hill.

Ashley and Rob had the honor of being Tabor Hill Winery’s first wedding in their dedicated event space and I was a tiny bit nervous because typically, a venue’s first wedding has a lot of kinks. But as soon as I pulled up, I knew that it would be GORGEOUS. The greenhouse-style high-ceiling tent in the middle of the vineyard bounced pure light everywhere during the day and sparked with strands of market lights at night. The ceremony was under a classic white pergola in the middle of the winery. The Tabor Hill staff was soooo on top of it and Jess from White Dahlia Events coordinated the day with finesse. The only thing that could outshine to that setting was the love and kindness of Ashely, Rob, and their family.

My favorite part of the day was sunset. After a day of cloud cover, it was unexpected and breathtaking. We literally didn’t think it was going to happen. The wedding-day timeline that Ashley, Rob, Jess, and I created together included time for sunset photography, but I wasn’t sure that we were going to have much color in the sky. BOY WAS I WRONG.

The best part about having your wedding at Tabor Hill is how easy it is to have your ceremony and reception in the same place without having to do a reset. The ceremony site is a short walk from the reception tent with just enough space outside for a cocktail hour.

There are a bazillion gorgeous locations at Tabor Hill for wedding photography. It’s a functioning winery and they let you take pictures in the vineyard, the rustic dirt road that is charmingly lined with decorative lights, and the vineyard itself is lined with hills and forest. All of that variety is a wedding photographer’s dream TBH.

The color palette Ashley chose for the day was a base of navy and burgundy accented with spring pastels and gold. It was so fresh and classic. Those florals popped against the darker bridesmaid dresses and looked incredible on the reception tables.
