The venue opens its doors to weddings, receptions, rehearsal dinners, bridal and baby showers, graduation parties, mitzvahs, business meetings, and social gatherings. It accommodates up to 130 guests during warmer months, with the beautifully landscaped grounds and a gazebo available as a backdrop for outdoor ceremonies; during the coldest winter months the indoor space seats up to 106.

Inside, guests move through an environment of vertical gardens, tranquil koi ponds, and curated botanical collections from around the world.

Every event includes Planterra's in-house planning team covering florals, custom décor, culinary service, signature cocktails, and valet — alongside local touches such as Sanders cream puffs, Vernor's floats, and wines from Leelanau County's Mawby Vineyards.
