Our Wedding

Once upon a time these two love birds found themselves at a "mutual friends" house for a work party during the midst of COVID (questionable decision). The pair instantly hit it off and started hanging out almost every weekend after they met. After several months of building their friendship/relationship (and Chris's several attempts at asking Colleen to be his girlfriend), on October 13th, 2021, Colleen finally agreed to become Chris's girlfriend. HORAY!Just about three years later, Chris popped the question to Colleen in her (and now his) favorite place, her Grandparents house in Watersmeet, Michigan.The rest is history &lt;3

Q + A

The Comstock Inn Conference Center is less than 12 minutes from the venue. They are hosting a wedding the same weekend, so we were unable to reserve a bock of rooms for the weekend of August 16th. They do have rooms available for rent, we just are not able to reserve them!

We have block of rooms reserved at the Quality Inn Durand. It is about 18 minutes from the venue.

Curwood Castle, located in Curwood Castle Park, stands on the banks of the Shiawassee River. It served as the writing studio of James Oliver Curwood, one of America's foremost authors of adventure novels and an early advocate of environmental conservation. Set in Owosso, among one of the richest collections of historic homes and buildings in the Midwest, this replica of a Norman chateau was completed in 1923. The beautiful castle was used by Curwood until his death in 1927.&nbsp;

A leisurely stroll along the Shiawassee River is one of the most peaceful ways to enjoy Owosso. This scenic river cuts through the heart of the city, offering a beautiful natural setting for visitors and locals alike. The Shiawassee Riverwalk is a popular spot for walking, jogging, or simply relaxing by the water.
