When I stumbled across Greencrest Manor on Instagram I was over the moon. The property reminds me of my time studying abroad in Europe and couldn't be a more beautiful destination for a wedding. The owner, Jenn, is an absolute gem and her design and event background has taken this property to an incredible vision. I have attended a few events at Greencrest over the past year and the service and hospitality of the team is exceptional. Future brides your decision to create your dream wedding at Greencrest will be one you will never forget!

We found Greencrest online back in 2019 and immediately reached out. We were greeted with excitement and warmth. But the moment we stepped foot onto the property we were speechless. The photos do not even do this place justice. Our ceremony was outside with a European style landscape which is a dream we thought could only happen if we chose a destination wedding. I could go on and on about the breathtaking views, gardens, and locations on the property that were available for us and our guests to enjoy; as the venue speaks for itself when it comes the beauty and romance of a dream wedding venue

Wow! Beyond beautiful venue for the wedding I attended here. The owner was on hand and she was very gracious and friendly. Not a detail was missed by the bartenders, servers and wedding planners. Just… gorgeous! Such fabulous grounds, flower gardens, greenhouses and the interior details of the main house were flawlessly preserved. Cute heated coffee shed, fountains, cozy fires at night, twinkle lights and all in the stately grandeur of what felt like French or English countryside.

Visited Greencrest Manor to do my daughters quinceañera photo shoot and I can't stress enough how pleased I was with this venue!!!
These traditional pictures should have a Spanish/European look so I needed a place with these elements. I looked at so many venues and this was the closest one to us. The mansion is located in Battle Creek surrounded by small town farm land. You'd never know this truly hidden gem exists among all the corn fields haha
The entrance is surrounded by beautiful cascading trees and lighting. The home itself is decorated with vines and hydrangeas all over. This

I was lucky enough to attend a wedding at Greencrest Manor recently. Located north of Battle Creek in what feels like the middle of nowhere, you turn down a short drive that takes you back into a forest and suddenly a stately manor with beautiful grounds appears. I honestly felt like I walked through a wardrobe into a Narnia world. The small sign at the drive was a bit tough to see, so as your map tells you you're close, slow down and look for the Bed and Breakfast sign.
The vibe here is full on beautiful Pinterest, French countryside garden chateau. Everywhere you look there is something

I attended a wedding styled shoot here as a photographer. The Manor is even more beautiful in person. The property is so well taken care of and loved, it really does show throughout the grounds and inside as well. The attention to detail in every aspect of the manor is seriously stunning and thoughtful. I know it sounds cliche but this place really is magical and I really can't wait to come back as a guest with my husband and as photographer for someones wedding day.

On our daughter's wedding day, there were no worries at all… the place was immaculate, and the service was simply outstanding. We stayed the weekend in the manor and it felt like home. We heard from our guest that it was such a beautiful place. Everything was so beautiful. We can't say enough about Jen, Dave and staff you took such good care of us. So if you are looking here and choose to go elsewhere, that would be a big mistake!” This place is awesome! Thanks again to all of you for everything you did to make our daughters wedding perfect.

What a dreamy place! Truly a piece of Europe tucked in the most picturesque setting. The estate is incredible, new owners are bringing the place to a totally new level. It is immaculate, stylish, polished. The service and food are amazing. I can only imagine was a treat it would be to be a wedding guest there. Highly recommend!

Greencrest Manor is easily one of the most stunning wedding venues in Michigan. As a photographer, the grounds and inside styling made amazing backdrops for my portraits with the couple. If you are looking for a European vibe look no further. The owner and her staff are passionate about the estate and what they do and were a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend this amazing Michigan wedding venue!

If I could give them 10 stars, I would. I had my wedding at Greencrest earlier this month and to say it was a fairytale weekend doesn't even begin to cover it. From the breathtaking landscapes to the immaculate interior of the manor, not a single detail wasn't thought out and executed to perfection. Jenn and her team are absolutely fabulous to work with and so accommodating. From the planning (especially during Covid) to the day of, it was stress free and seamless. Being able to stay at the manor was such a nice touch as well! They went above and beyond in every aspect. They are so knowledgeable

A few years ago, my wife and I were celebrating our 50th Wedding Anniversary. We had tickets to see Alabama at the Casino in Battlecreek. I was looking for a special place for our weekend. That when I found the Greencrest Estate B and B. the building is impressive, and so are the grounds. But the real beauty of the place is the skill of Janet,… our host. She was very attentive to my special requests, like having 50 yellow roses in our bedroom when we arrived. This weekend was as close to perfection as I can imagine. People ask me how much it costs. I actually cannot remember. But I can tell

WOW!!! We have stayed in 49 B&B's, all over the world ... and, hands down, this is the most GORGEOUS we've ever stayed and enjoyed. Every square inch is magnificently designed and decorated. And comfortable?!? We haven't slept this well in years! Janet is the quintessential innkeeper: gracious, hospitable, superb chef...just an amazing host.… We have stayed in the VIP and the Sarah rooms. Both are spacious, elegantly appointed and fabulously comfortable. The gardens...well, they provide the raspberries, blackberries and currents for the breakfast, along with eggs from the chicken flock

The place is GORGEOUS. It is obvious the owners have put their life work into restoring and maintaining the beautiful gardens and endless sitting areas.
We went for our anniversary and were very pleased with the sprawling decor - there's a private nook or cranny around every corner. It felt very private and she even has little snacks set out.
It only gets four stars because A) there's nothing to do in Battle Creek besides the B&B. For a more typical B&B area with antiques & eateries and such, you'll have to drive to South Haven etc.
