Lumberyard Event Center

The Lumberyard Event Center is a historic venue in Wayland, Michigan, for weddings, receptions and other private or business gatherings. The property began as a lumberyard in 1898 and has been restored as a place to celebrate, retaining features such as exposed timber beams and vaulted ceilings alongside private grounds, gardens and outdoor seating areas.

Couples can choose an indoor or outdoor ceremony setting, then host their reception inside the characterful main building. Wedding packages include full-day venue access, tables and chairs, climate control, a bridal suite, a private groomsmen's suite, kitchen preparation space for a caterer, bar areas and on-site parking. The venue can accommodate celebrations of up to 250 guests. Reception-only options are also available for couples holding their ceremony elsewhere, and the indoor space can be used throughout the year.

The property also welcomes smaller occasions, including bridal and baby showers, graduation parties, birthdays, reunions and corporate events. Flexible room options give organisers scope to plan gatherings of different sizes, while the outdoor grounds provide space for guests to relax and socialise. The venue allows organisers to choose their own caterer and bartender, and has tables, chairs and optional décor available. Venue tours are arranged by appointment, giving event planners an opportunity to view the spaces and discuss their plans before booking.
