We are a family run venue housed on a centennial farm in Hudsonville, Michigan. We work together to manage events and make sure every detail is taken care of, while doing our best to offer hospitality and professionalism. We sometimes say we are 'accidental wedding planners', but love every minute of it!
Matt and Ashley spent a lot of time viewing different venues for their big day, but nothing seemed 'just right.' Jokingly one day, they discussed a wedding in the barn on the farm. This barn had always been referred to as "The Tool Shed." It was a large barn that had served many purposes in its 30+ years of existence.

Services
No need for coolers or extra ice-the kegerator is refrigerated and we also have back up refrigerator storage for an additional 2 kegs, which means we can keep up to 5 kegs cold and ready to serve. White wine is typically more popular than red. For your mix of wines, we recommend that you go heavier on the white wine, with a little less red.
All reception alcohol must be served from behind the bar by our bartenders. If your guests bring their own alcohol, we ask that they place it behind the bar and allow our fabulous bartenders to serve them. If alcohol is to be served, we require a special event liability policy. A $1M liability policy should be taken out for 2 days-the day of your event and the following day to ensure that any potential after midnight occurrences are covered.
We've gathered tidbits from our experience with celebrations at The Red Shed and combined that with the "wisdom" of the online guru's. You know your crowd best- please adjust as needed for the personality of your guests - beer lovers, wine lovers, light drinkers, heavy drinkers, etc. For example, if you have a full bar (beer, wine and mixed drinks), the mixed drinks typically go first.

I cannot say enough about the Lubbers family! They are all so nice and truly want your day to be amazing. They go above and beyond to make sure you don’t have to worry about anything. They are always available for questions, and make the wedding planning process so easy. Everyone that attended our wedding was raving about how nice and beautiful it was. Book your wedding here!!!

I was able to have my wedding reception at The Red Shed in June of 2019. The Lubbers family was a joy to work with. They truly care about their clients and want them to have the best wedding ever! They helped me out so much with set up, take down, almost all of my decorations, and more. I would recommend this venue a thousand times! I got so much wonderful feedback about the venue from TONS of guests and family! I could not have chosen a better place or people to work with for my husband and my big day!

I give the highest rating possible to the Red Shed. Everyone from Rick, Ashley, Emma, and Jill could not have been more helpful. If you are looking for a place to hold your wedding reception where you get nothing but the highest quality assistance and a great venue I would definitely recommend the red shed. Our daughters reception on July 7 there was nothing short of perfection and I thank all of those people from the red shed for their help.
The red shed provided much in decoration to make our daughter's wedding beautiful. At the end of the night we asked what do we need to do they said
