Stony Creek Metropark

Erin, on March 20, 2019 at 12:39 AM Posted in Michigan Planning 1 18
Hi everyone!
I was looking to get some insight into a ceremony in Stony Creek Metropark at Sheldon Estates. The contact through the park said we’d have to book a shuttle service to transport guests from the boat launch to the ceremony site (and back again after the ceremony). Which company did you use? And what was the ballpark price range? They also stated that we’d have to rent our own chairs so we are trying to price everything out before we decide to have our ceremony there.
Thank you!

    Have you tried reaching out to the Metro park and asking them who they would recommend? Maybe they have a company they work with

    Hey Erin! Sounds like you are really doing your research before you book your venue, that's great!!

    Laura had a great suggestion about asking the venue if they have a shuttle service that they have previously worked with or can recommend. If not, the WeddingWire vendor directory might be some help. I've linked here Wedding Transportation Services in Michigan but you can easily filter this down to your own location and type of transport you want!

    You could also use this feature to search for event rentals for a company that will be able to provide chairs for your venue. Here is a list of Michigan Wedding Rentals so you can price chairs for the venue.

    You can easily send inquiries through the WeddingWire website to get a quoteSmiley smile

    I hope this helps with your planning ErinSmiley laugh

    Hey Erin,

    I had my ceremony there in 2016! Such a dreamy spot, excited for you guys. We used Colonial Events (248-589-3544- worked with Lindsay she's great!) and it was 1.95/chair + $220 labor/pick up. We used trolleys from Trinity Transportation for guest shuttle- they are sticklers about that! If you had very few guests you might be able to use the golf course parking lot but only a few elderly guests and a nursing mother parked there from ours and we got special permission. Also make sure to get an arrangements with the metro park staff ahead so that your guests don't have to pay entrance fees! I have a super cute map we designed and sent with the wedding invites and I'm always happy to share Smiley smile

    Hey Jennifer,

    Sorry I think the website hid your email from display! Maybe sending email addresses through private messages is allowed? I will try to send the images there!

    Hi Laura-

    I am a bride-to-be who is planning a ceremony at Sheldon Estates for August 2021! Your information about chair rental & transportation is SO helpful. I am currently looking to book both. Do you mind if I ask how many people you had at your ceremony? Also- I would LOVE your cute map you speak of...willing to pay! :-)

    Hey Michelle,

    Ours was 180 people! I will DM you (and any future brides who see this!) to send the map since I can't figure out how to send here. No need to pay but please make a donation somewhere meaningful instead!

    I absolutely love multiplying our joy by sharing the materials we used for our ceremony in this holy alley! So excited for each of you to experience the magic. Please Heather, and anyone in the future, feel free to send me a DM with your best email address and I’ll send the files! I just ask that each bride make a meaningful contribution to a social justice cause to pay it forward. Yay love Smiley smile
