Historic Barns Park in Traverse City, Michigan is home to both a horticultural botanic garden and the Cathedral Barn, a restored historic barn used for weddings and events. It’s a setting with real character, and we were glad to film a reception here.

A Wedding We Have Filmed at Historic Barns Park

Christine and Joel’s wedding day paired a ceremony at The Village at Grand Traverse Commons with a reception at the Cathedral Barn here at Historic Barns Park. The energy shifted from romantic to high-voltage the moment the bridal party made their grand entrance to AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck,” followed by heartfelt speeches, a father-daughter dance to “My Girl,” and a packed dance floor that ran all night.

Filming Weddings at Historic Barns Park

The Cathedral Barn’s timber-frame architecture gives a reception a warm, rustic backdrop that photographs and films beautifully once the string lights come on. Because Historic Barns Park sits alongside the botanic garden and near The Village at Grand Traverse Commons, we plan for a multi-location wedding day the way we did for Christine and Joel.
