The barn your guests will talk about for years.

Heritage Wedding Barns is a historic 1892 timber frame venue on 27 private acres in Shelby, Michigan — just minutes from Silver Lake Sand Dunes and the shores of Lake Michigan. Four distinct event spaces, all walkable, all yours.

about us

A family venue built on 100 years of craft.

We are Jennifer and Sam Stitt IV — and Heritage Wedding Barns is our family’s story made yours. The Stitt family has owned this land since 1922, farming it through four generations before Sam’s family business, Great Lakes Barn Preservation, dismantled and rebuilt the Legacy Barn and Patriot Barn using the same mortise, tenon, and wood peg techniques passed down from father to son across more than a century of timber frame craft.
We didn’t just restore these barns. We poured our family’s hands, history, and heart into every beam — and now we open our doors so your family can begin its own story here
