Back Orchard Barn

Nestled among the scenic orchards and farmland of Michigan’s Tri-Cities region, The Back Orchard Barn offers a warm and inviting setting for weddings and special events. Part of the historic Leaman’s Green Applebarn, a family farm with roots spanning more than a century, the venue was created from a long-standing dream to bring people together through meaningful celebrations on the farm. Designed to balance rustic charm with modern comfort, the barn provides the cozy atmosphere couples love while maintaining an elevated, polished feel that makes every gathering memorable. From weddings and showers to graduation parties and fundraisers, The Back Orchard Barn has become a beloved destination for all types of social events.

The venue features a spacious 4,500-square-foot heated barn and outdoor ceremony patio that can host up to 200 guests. Couples can exchange vows beneath the picturesque outdoor pergola surrounded by orchard views or move indoors for elegant Oscar-style seating during winter weddings or unexpected weather. Guests enjoy a variety of thoughtful amenities, including air-conditioned wedding suites, fire pits, a warming kitchen, handicap accessibility, custom bar packages, and full ceremony and reception setup options. Fun additions such as cornhole, whiskey barrel décor, and seasonal hayrides help create a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, while the surrounding apple orchard—home to some of the farm’s newest trees—symbolizes both deep family roots and new beginnings.

What truly sets The Back Orchard Barn apart is its dedicated and personable team, who work closely with clients beginning eight months before the event to guide every detail of the planning process. Their unique “Take-a-Peek Tuesdays” allow couples to revisit the venue as often as needed to finalize layouts, décor, and event logistics—an uncommon level of flexibility and support in the wedding industry. Led by Venue Director Lacey Wright, the staff is passionate about building genuine relationships with each couple and ensuring every celebration feels personal and seamless. As the team looks ahead to the 2025 season, they are most excited to continue celebrating alongside their couples and watching months of planning transform into unforgettable wedding days.
