Your Rustic Wedding Venue in Hudsonville, MI
The Red Shed & Byre 53 is a family-run event venue nestled on a centennial farm in Hudsonville, Michigan. Our journey began when Matt and Ashley transformed a dilapidated barn, affectionately called 'The Tool Shed,' into a unique wedding space after struggling to find the perfect venue for their own big day. Through dedication and creativity, we repurposed the structure into a rustic yet elegant venue that now hosts weddings and special events. Our team, including Jill, Rick, and Whitney, prioritizes hospitality and professionalism, ensuring every detail is meticulously managed.We offer flexible spaces like The Red Shed (capacity 240), The Bridal Suite (140), and Byre 53s Grooms Room, all complemented by 175 acres of natural beauty. Clients praise our serene outdoor ceremony sites, extensive free decor inventory, and inclusive bar services. We pride ourselves on personalized support, from setup to teardown, and strive to create unforgettable experiences rooted in family values. Our venues charm lies in its blend of rustic aesthetics, practical amenities, and the genuine care we extend to every client.
